CorEnergy Announces $10 Million Share Repurchase Program and Extension of the Pinedale Credit Facility

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE:CORR) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program for the Company to buy up to $10 million of its common stock. The Company plans to repurchase shares from time to time through open market transactions, including through block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases are to be determined by senior management, depending on market prices and other conditions. Purchases may be made through the program through December 31, 2016.

“We believe the current price of our stock to be at a significant discount relative to the value of our assets and our dividend payments,” said Dave Schulte, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we continue to assess which uses of capital would be most accretive to our shareholders in the long term, we believe repurchasing shares to be an attractive investment opportunity.”

Purchases of common stock will be financed with general corporate funds. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any of its common stock, or to acquire any particular number of shares, and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

The Company also announced today that Pinedale Corridor LP extended its current secured credit facility with KeyBank National Association through March 2016. With the execution of the agreement, a principal reduction payment of $1.0 million was made, resulting in an outstanding balance of approximately $62.5 million. Through the extension period, Pinedale Corridor LP will make revised monthly principal payments, totaling approximately $4.0 million. Borrowings under the credit facility will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at the LIBOR rate plus 4.25%.
