DENVER, Feb. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enservco Corporation (NYSE American: ENSV), a diversified national provider of specialized well-site services to the domestic onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas industries, today announced that Cross River Partners, the investment firm managed by Enservco’s Executive Chairman Rich Murphy, will convert its remaining subordinated debt and accumulated interest to Enservco equity.

Specifically, Cross River will exchange $1.25 million in sub-debt plus approximately $62,000 in accrued interest for 601,674 shares of common stock, based on a price of $2.18, which is the most recent closing sales price. In consideration for the exchange, Enservco will issue to Cross River 150,418 common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $2.507 per warrant share, a 15% premium to the exchange price.

Cross River originally held $2.5 million in sub-debt, but in September 2020 converted half of that total, or $1.25 million, plus $250,000 in accrued interest into common stock. In the aggregate, the elimination of $2.5 million in sub-debt plus $326,000 in accrued interest, combined with the elimination of $16 million in other debt in conjunction with the Company’s bank refinancing in September 2020, brings the total debt reduction over the past four months to $18.8 million.

Marjorie Hargrave, President and CFO, commented, “By eliminating $18.8 million in total debt in the past four months, we have significantly strengthened our balance sheet and created critical financial flexibility for the Company as we pursue our growth initiatives in an improving oil and gas environment. I want to again credit our lender, East West Bank, for being an outstanding partner and working hard to help us emerge from the downturn as a stronger company. In addition, since the beginning of 2020 we have taken more than $4.5 million in costs out of the business, significantly reducing our break-even and better positioning us to generate positive adjusted EBITDA as industry conditions continue to improve.”

Rich Murphy, Executive Chairman, added, “My agreement to convert debt to equity reflects my confidence in our business, our corporate staff and our field teams. I’m excited about where we are as a business and looking forward to taking advantage of improving oil and gas markets.”
