DIVERGENT Energy Services Provides a Corporate Update
December 12 2023 - 5:59PM
DIVERGENT Energy Services Corp.
(“Divergent”, the "
Company", or
“
DVG”
) provides the following
Corporate Update.
As previously disclosed on November 17, a
customer of the Company that contributes approximately 80% of the
Company’s recent annual sales continues to experience a material
slow down in their business due to its ongoing sales process. The
significant drop in natural gas prices over the past month has
caused this customer to have liquidity issues and they have begun
prioritizing payments to certain vendors over Divergent. Last week,
a scheduled payment to Divergent was significantly less than the
Company had been expecting, causing both our credit exposure to
this customer and our suppliers to increase beyond an acceptable
limit. As a result, the Company has ceased working for this
customer and has temporarily laid off the associated field staff
until such time as a material payment is made by this customer.
Although the Company continues to perform work
for its other customers and has retained staff to perform the work,
this material reduction in anticipated revenue and cash flow
creates uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue its
operations without making additional changes. As such the Company
is engaged in a strategic review of its business and evaluating
alternatives.
The Company will provide updates as they are
available.
