CorEnergy Provides Update on Tenant Bankruptcy Process
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—October 20, 2016 –  On October 20 th , the Ultra Petroleum Corp (“Ultra”) bankruptcy court approved a joint request from CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (“CorEnergy”) and Ultra Wyoming LGS, LLC (“Ultra LGS”) to postpone the hearing, scheduled for October 20 th , on the CorEnergy motion to dismiss Ultra LGS from the Ultra Petroleum bankruptcy process.

Postponement was requested because CorEnergy and Ultra LGS have agreed to mediation, to begin as soon as reasonably practicable. December 15 th has been agreed to as the new deadline for Ultra LGS to accept or reject the Pinedale LGS Lease in order to accommodate scheduling.

The agreement to mediate followed the CorEnergy deposition of a member of Ultra’s senior management taken October 19 th .  During the deposition, that senior officer acknowledged that: (i) the earliest date the Shell System could replace the CorEnergy pipeline is late fall 2017; and (ii) the cost estimate Ultra referred to in its recent court filing did not include hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue during the approval and construction period, or the payment of any damages to CorEnergy which may result from Ultra’s actions.

“We believe that uninterrupted access to the CorEnergy pipeline is the basis for Ultra’s published financial forecasts,” said CorEnergy CEO David Schulte. “Our team has consistently communicated our willingness to consider amendments to our lease that are in the best interest of both organizations.  We welcome the prospect of entering a mediation process aimed at improving our business relationship.  The mediation is nonbinding, so we are able to return promptly to the bankruptcy court with either our motion to dismiss or a motion to approve a consensual amendment to the lease.”
