KANSAS CITY, Mo.- December 17, 2018 - CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (“CorEnergy” or the “Company”) announced that its Executive Chairman, Richard Green, has tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company, effective January 1, 2019. The independent directors named David Schulte, President and Chief Executive Officer of CorEnergy, to follow Mr. Green as Chairman of the Board.

In discussing his intentions with the Board, Mr. Green noted the work he and Mr. Schulte had undertaken to build, develop and lead a talented team of professionals at Corridor InfraTrust Management (“Corridor”), the external manager of CorEnergy. Mr. Green said, “I am very proud of the company Dave and I have built together. In less than a decade, Corridor’s systems and processes have become reflective of a much larger and more established professional organization. Reflecting on my more than 30 years of experience as a senior executive, I believe now is a good time for a transition to occur at Corridor and therefore the Board of CorEnergy. At a certain stage of development, an organization works best when one individual leads.”

Mr. Schulte commented, “It has been a privilege to work side-by-side with Rick since the inception of Corridor, eight years ago. His deep knowledge base, strategic insights and leadership have been imperative in guiding the Company forward. I am pleased that Rick is willing to have a continuing role at Corridor and in his commitment to a smooth transition of responsibilities.”
