SAN ANTONIO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / January 10, 2018 / Camber Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: CEI) (''Camber'' or the ''Company''), an independent oil and gas company, today announced the results from the Company's annual shareholder meeting held yesterday. The Company's shareholders voted to approve all seven proposals put forth by the Company's management and board of directors. The two most significant proposals will enable the Company to (a) affect a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock and (b) file a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock available for future issuances. The reverse split, if approved by the board of directors in its sole discretion, will increase the per-share price of the Company's stock, which is a necessary prerequisite of Camber's plan to regain compliance with the additional listing requirements of the NYSE American. Additionally, by increasing the number of shares of common stock available for future issuances, Camber will be able to receive ongoing financing under the Series C Preferred Stock purchase agreement previously disclosed, subject to the terms thereof. The future financing proceeds will be used (in part), assuming received under the purchase agreement, for initiatives that are expected to directly drive revenue, such as acquiring additional reserves and reworking the Company's existing oil and gas producing assets.
''I want to personally thank all of our shareholders for their ongoing support,'' said Chief Executive Officer Richard N. Azar II, ''We are working diligently to regain your trust and confidence. To date, our turnaround efforts have been successful, and we believe that ratifying these measures gives our team of industry veterans the tools we need to continue revitalizing our business.''
Since Mr. Azar took over the position of CEO last June, the Company has re-worked 6 down wells which are now oil-producing, worked to shore up its balance sheet by selling non-producing assets, secured up to an additional $16 million in financing, and submitted a plan for continued listing of the Company's common stock to the NYSE American, which was accepted by the exchange.
