Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by U.S. Energy Corp. (“U.S. Energy”, “we”, “us” or the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) on January 10, 2022, on January 5, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended and modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Firstbank Southwest (“Firstbank”) as administrative agent for one or more lenders (the “Lenders”), and the Lenders, which provided for a revolving line of credit with an initial borrowing base of $15 million (which was subsequently increased to $20 million on July 26, 2022, pursuant to a Borrowing Base Increase Letter (the “Borrowing Base Increase Letter”)), subject to adjustment as discussed in the Credit Agreement, and a maximum credit amount of $100,000,000.
On September 16, 2025, and effective August 1, 2025, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver with Firstbank, as administrative agent for the Lenders and the Lenders (the “First Amendment”).
Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Credit Agreement was amended to:
(a) Extend the maturity date of the amounts owed under the Credit Agreement from January 5, 2026 to May 31, 2029;
(b) Lower the borrowing base to $10,000,000;
(c) Update certain dates and addresses in the Credit Agreement for the changes discussed above, and for the First Amendment;
(d) Update certain schedules of the Credit Agreement; and
(e) Make certain other changes to the First Amendment as described in greater detail therein.
The First Amendment also provided for the waiver by the Lenders and Firstbank of certain technical defaults which had occurred under the Credit Agreement, relating to the Company’s subsidiaries either not being in good standing or being dissolved or sold, and the Company’s prior reorganization from Wyoming to Delaware.
The First Amendment includes certain post-closing conditions of the Company and customary representations and warranties of the Company.
As a result of the First Amendment, revolving loans under the Credit Agreement may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed until May 31, 2029, when all outstanding amounts must be repaid.
Interest on the outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement will accrue at an interest rate equal to (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate in effect on such day, and (b) the Federal Funds rate in effect on such day (as determined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%, and an applicable margin that ranges between 0.25% to 1.25% depending on utilization of the amount of the borrowing base (the “Applicable Margin”). If the Company fails to deliver a report setting forth its proved oil and natural gas reserves as and when required under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin will be 1.25% regardless of utilization.
In the event that certain events of default (as described under the Credit Agreement) occur, the outstanding amounts will bear an additional 2.00% interest per annum. Accrued interest on each revolving loan is payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December.
The Company generally has the right to make prepayments of the borrowings at any time without penalty or premium under the Credit Agreement. A commitment fee of 0.50% accrues on the average daily amount of the unused portion of the borrowing base and is payable in arrears on the last business day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the maturity date.
We are also required to make certain mandatory repayments under the Credit Agreement, in the event the borrowing base decreases below the aggregate amount of loans made by the Lenders and/or if as of the last business day of any calendar month, certain required debt ratios required under the Credit Agreement are not met, there are outstanding amounts owed to the Lenders, and the Company has consolidated cash on hand in excess of $5 million, and in some cases we are also required to pay cash to the agent to be held as collateral.
The Credit Agreement contains customary indemnification requirements, representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, and dividends and other distributions. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants, tested quarterly, that limit the Company’s ratio of total debt to EBITDAX (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 3:1 (beginning March 31, 2026) and require its ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities (as each is described in the Credit Agreement) to remain at 1:1 or higher.
We currently owe $0 under the Credit Agreement as of the date of this Report.
The foregoing summary description of the Credit Agreement and First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Borrowing Base Increase Letter, and First Amendment, which are incorporated by reference herein as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as affected hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes.
Section 11. Confirmation of Security and Guaranty. Each Loan Party hereby confirms and agrees that all of the Security Instruments that presently secure the Secured Obligations shall continue to secure, in the same manner and to the same extent provided therein, the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations as described in the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment. Each Loan Party further confirms and agrees that the Guaranty Agreement that presently guarantees the Secured Obligations shall continue to guarantee, in the same manner and to the same extent provided therein, the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations as described in the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment.

Section 13. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. For purposes of this Amendment, a counterpart hereof (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by any Person party hereto to the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) by facsimile machine, telecopier or electronic mail is to be treated as an original. The signature of such Person thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered as an original signature, and the counterpart (or signature page thereto) so transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document.
Section 14. Entirety. This Amendment and all of the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties. THIS AMENDMENT AND ALL OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
