KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) (“CorEnergy”) today announced that the underwriters of its two previously announced public offerings have exercised in full their over-allotment options.

The closing of the common stock offering, including the over-allotment option exercise, is expected to occur on or about June 29, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.

In its convertible notes offering, the underwriters have agreed to purchase an additional $15.0 million of unsecured convertible senior notes, convertible to common stock at $6.60 per share, a premium of 10% to the public offering price of the common shares.

The closing of the convertible notes offering, including the over-allotment option exercise, is expected to occur on or about June 29, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.
