<td class="text">U.S. Energy Corp. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;, &#8220;we&#8221; and &#8220;us&#8221;) previously filed a Current Report on Form&#160;8&#8209;K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2024 (the &#8220;Initial Report&#8221;) disclosing among other things, the entry on July 9, 2024, into a Purchase and Sale Agreement between New Horizon Resources LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as seller, and Warwick-Artemis, LLC, as purchaser (the &#8220;Purchase Agreement&#8221;).

&#160;

At the time of filing the Initial Report the Company was still in the process of edgarizing the Purchase Agreement and exhibits thereto and the Initial Report disclosed that the Company would file a copy of the Purchase Agreement in an amendment to the Initial Report.

&#160;

This Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Report is being filed solely to include, as an exhibit hereto, a copy of the Purchase Agreement.

&#160;

Except for this Explanatory Note and the inclusion of the Purchase Agreement as an exhibit to this Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Report in&#160;Item 9.01, below, there are no changes to the Initial Report, as amended by this Amendment No. 1,&#160;and this Amendment No. 1 should be read in connection with the Initial Report.

&#160;

The description of the Purchase Agreement included in the Initial Report under Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto.
