YUMA News

Yuma Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: YUMA) ("Yuma", "Company", "we" or "our") today provided an update on the Company's financial status and ability to restructure its liabilities and capital structure. As previously disclosed, in September 2019, YE Investment, LLC, an affiliate of Red Mountain Capital Partners, LLC ("Red Mountain"), purchased all of the Company's outstanding senior secured bank indebtedness and related liabilities under the Company's senior credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility was then modified to reduce the outstanding principal balance from approximately $32.8 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest and expenses, to approximately $1.4 million (the "Modified Note"). In September 2019, Yuma entered into a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement (the "Restructuring Agreement") with Red Mountain and affiliates, which was to result in the i) exchange of the Modified Note for a new convertible note that would be convertible into Yuma common stock, and ii) conversion of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock into Yuma Common stock. Finally, in December 2019, the parties entered into an amendment to the Restructuring Agreement and Credit Facility under which Red Mountain provided an additional two-year senior secured delayed-draw term loan for up to $2 million, maturing on September 30, 2022, from which the Company has drawn $850,000 to date. The transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Agreement were subject to stockholder approval pursuant to NYSE American rules and requirements and the Restructuring Agreement included a termination right in the event such stockholder approval was not received by December 31, 2019. Please refer to our prior press releases and prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more comprehensive information regarding the above.
