HOUSTON, Aug. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harvest Oil & Gas Corp. (OTCQX: HRST) (“Harvest” or the “Company”) announced today that it has declared a one-time cash distribution of $10.00 per share.
The Board of Directors of Harvest has approved a one-time cash distribution of $10.00 per share to common stockholders of record on August 17, 2020 to be paid on August 24, 2020. The Company expects to have no current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and reasonably estimates that the cash distribution should not constitute a taxable dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Rather, the cash distribution would generally first constitute non-taxable return of capital and a reduction in the adjusted tax basis (but not below zero) of each recipient stockholder’s shares of stock in the Company, and thereafter any amount of the cash distribution in excess of such recipient stockholder’s adjusted tax basis would be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such stock. Information regarding tax matters in this press release is for general information purposes only and does not constitute tax advice. Stockholders should consult with their tax advisors as to the specific U.S. federal, state, local, and non-U.S. tax consequences to such stockholder related to the cash distribution.
For Harvest’s warrants (OTCQX: HRSTW) and per the terms of the Warrant Agreement entered into on June 4, 2018, the cash distribution is classified as a Special Dividend and will result in a reduction of the warrant exercise price by $10.00 to $294.80, effective as of August 18, 2020.
