Insights

Equity ownership governance analyst

Insider group redistributes shares; two holders fall below 10%.

The filing details a non-cash, in‑kind distribution where Synergy Offshore LLC moved 1,400,000 USEG shares up to SPP, then out to members, including King Oil receiving 332,329 shares. These are labeled code J with $0 consideration.

Post‑transaction, both Duane H. King and King Oil report beneficial ownership of less than 10%, and Synergy Offshore reports zero shares. This changes reporting obligations under Sections 13(d)/16 thresholds and indicates Synergy Offshore is no longer part of a 10% owner group.

The filing also notes 20,000 restricted shares that vest on January 1, 2026 subject to service. Actual market impact depends on holder decisions and any subsequent sales methods disclosed elsewhere.
