<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">U.S. Energy Corp. (the &quot;Company&quot;)
announced that on September 20, 2017, the Company received notice from the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (&#8220;NASDAQ&#8221;) that the
Company has not regained compliance with NASDAQ&#8217;s continued listing standards.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">On March 23, 2017, NASDAQ notified the Company
that the bid price of its listed security had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days,
and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the &#8220;Rule&#8221;). In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A),
the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 19, 2017, to regain compliance with the Rule.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company has not regained compliance with
the Rule and is not eligible for a second 180 day period. Specifically, the Company does not meet the minimum $5 million stockholders&#8217;
equity, $50 million Market Value of Listed Securities, or $750,000 net income from continuing operations initial listing requirements
for The NASDAQ Capital Market. Accordingly, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination as described in further
detail below, the Company&#8217;s securities will be scheduled for delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market and will be suspended
at the opening of business on September 29, 2017, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
&#8220;SEC&#8221;), which will remove the Company&#8217;s securities from listing and registration on The NASDAQ Stock Market.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In accordance with NASDAQ procedures, the Company
plans to appeal the determination and intends to submit a business plan to NASDAQ demonstrating how it intends to regain compliance
with the continued listing standards set forth in in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). A hearing request will stay the suspension of the
Company&#8217;s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel&#8217;s decision.&nbsp;The Company intends to submit
such a business plan within the required time frame and will continue to work with NASDAQ to attempt to comply with all continued
listing standards.&nbsp; Assuming that NASDAQ accepts the plan, the Company will be subject to quarterly monitoring for compliance
with the business plan and the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market, subject to the Company's
compliance with other NASDAQ continued listing requirements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">If the Company's common stock ultimately were
to be delisted for any reason, it could negatively impact the Company by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of the Company's
common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Company's common stock, which could negatively
impact the Company's ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting the Company's ability to use a registration statement to
offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing the Company from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv)&nbsp;impairing
the Company's ability to provide equity incentives to its employees</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">There can be no assurance that the Company&#8217;s plans to comply
with the required bid price, minimum shareholders&#8217; equity, market value of listed securities or net income from continuing
operations will be successful.&nbsp;There can also be no assurance that the Company&#8217;s appeal of the determination would be
successful. If the Company&#8217;s Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company expects
that its Common Stock would be traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board on or about the same day</P>
