**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

U.S. Energy Corp. (the "<u>Company</u>", "<u>we</u>" and "<u>us</u>") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2026 (the "<u>Initial Report</u>"), which disclosed among other things, the results of the voting associated with the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "<u>Annual Meeting</u>") and the fact that Randall Keys ceased to serve as a member of the Board of Directors on the Company on May 8, 2026. Subsequent to such filing the Company identified an error in the disclosure associated with Mr. Keys' ceasing to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, in that instead of notifying the Company that he would not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting, he instead was not nominated as a member of the Board of Directors by the nominating committee. The Initial Report also incorrectly stated that the size of the Board of Directors did not change following the Annual Meeting, and such number of members decreased from six to five. This Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Report is being filed solely to correct such errors.

**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

Effective May 8, 2026, Randall Keys ceased to serve as a member of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of U.S. Energy Corp. (the "Company") upon the expiration of his term at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting"), after having not been renominated as a member of the Board by the nominating committee. The Board thanks Mr. Keys for his years of dedicated service and valuable contributions to the Company.

The size of the Board was changed to five (5) members effective upon Mr. Keys' departure.

**Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.**

On May 8, 2026, the Company held the Annual Meeting. The following four proposals were voted on at the Meeting (as described in greater detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2026 (the "Proxy Statement")), with the results of such voting as set forth below. Capitalized terms have the meanings given to such terms in the Proxy Statement and this Form 8-K should be read in connection with the Proxy Statement.

**Proposal 1**

The director nominees listed below were duly elected to the Board of Directors by a plurality of the votes cast (there was no solicitation in opposition to management's nominees as listed in the Proxy Statement), each to serve a term of three years and until his respective successor has been elected and qualified:
