Exhibit 99.1

 

 

March 19, 2020

 

Dear Partner:

 

Energy 11, L.P. (the “Partnership”, “Energy 11”, “we”, “our” or “us”) owns an approximate 25% non-operated working interest in 232 producing wells as of December 31, 2019. We continually pursue options to capitalize on opportunities that can increase future cash flow, as indicated by the Partnership’s election to participate in the drilling of 33 new wells during 2019. However, recent volatility in the market, and oil prices in particular, has caused uncertainty to our cash flow for the remainder of 2020. Therefore, the Board of Directors of Energy 11 GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) has approved the suspension of distributions to limited partners of the Partnership until further notice. The General Partner will continue to monitor the Partnership’s distribution policy on a monthly basis. As the market stabilizes, we look to return to normalcy as quickly as possible, including the resumption of limited partner distributions as cash becomes available. The Partnership will accrue unpaid distributions at an annualized return of seven percent, and all accrued distributions are required to be paid before final Payout occurs, as defined in the Partnership’s prospectus. As we have done in the past, if excess cash is available, the Partnership intends to pay all, or as much as possible of, the unpaid distributions.

 

In these unprecedented times, the suspension of the distribution will allow us to properly manage our properties and maximize our assets’ value going forward. Please remember our ownership is structured with relatively low levels of outstanding debt, and the Partnership has returned a total of approximately $94.5 million, or approximately $6.34 per common unit, to the limited partners through distributions from August 2015 through February 2020.

 

If you have questions regarding the status of your investment, please contact your Investment Counselor at David Lerner Associates, Inc. We also encourage you to review all of the Partnership’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available online at www.energyeleven.com or www.sec.gov.

 

Sincerely,

Glade M. Knight

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Energy 11 GP, LLC
