CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc.: M&A transaction — CorEnergy closes $177.6M sale of MoGas/Omega pipelines; warns of delisting and convertible note risk
CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc.
- Sale to Spire Midstream for $177.6M cash; net proceeds ~$165M after taxes and costs; used $109M to repay Crimson credit facility.
- Crimson pipeline now sole remaining operation; running cash flow deficits due to underpriced tariffs and volume declines.
- NYSE delisting notice appealed; if not resolved, $118M convertible senior notes become due and company lacks resources to pay.
- Pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders widened to $32.2M (2022) and $23.8M (nine months 2023) after removal of MoGas results.
- Company evaluating Crimson asset write-downs and corporate cost reductions; expects retroactive rate increases in California.
