Consideration Totals $1 Million from the Sale of 105 Shares of Series C Preferred Stock

SAN ANTONIO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 12, 2018 / Camber Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: CEI) ("Camber" or the "Company"), an independent oil and gas company, announced today that the Company has received its sixth tranche of funding under the previously disclosed Stock Purchase Agreement it executed on October 5, 2017 with an institutional investor (the "Investor"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Investor agreed to purchase 105 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1,000,000 at this sixth closing. The Company will receive a total of an aggregate of $9 million in additional consideration in connection with the sale of additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock in the event the remaining closings contemplated under the Stock Purchase Agreement are completed, which closings are subject to certain closing conditions described in greater detail in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

The Company plans to use the proceeds from the sale of the Series C Preferred Stock for working capital, acquisitions, workovers of new properties, workovers on existing wells, drilling and completion of additional wells, repayment of vendor balances and payments to its senior lender, in anticipation of regaining compliance.

Richard N. Azar II, the Chief Executive Officer of Camber said, "We believe that with this funding, and future purchases of Series C Preferred Stock by the Investor, the Company will be in a position to continue to proceed forward with its business plan, which includes debt reduction, compliance, growth and expansion of our business."

Additionally, the Company’s management, after an analysis of the trading volume and shareholdings of the holders of the Company’s common stock, believes that the Company’s common stock may be subject to automated trading/robotrading. Automated trading or robotrading is a form of stock trading where investors, through automated trading platforms use algorithms and/or other preset trading rules to buy and sell securities automatically, sometimes within milliseconds, often times based solely on perceived trading trends in an issuer’s securities. The Company’s management believes that such automated trading/robotrading is creating artificial downward pressure on the Company’s common stock and that investors should be made aware of such risks.
