UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Effective February 1, 2021, CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc., (“CorEnergy” or the “Company”) acquired a 49.50 percent interest in Crimson Midstream Holdings, LLC (“Crimson”), with the right to acquire the remaining 50.50 percent interest, in exchange for a combination of cash on hand of approximately $74.6 million (after giving effect to initial working capital adjustments), commitments to issue new common and preferred equity with a fair value of $115.3 million (also after giving effect to the initial working capital adjustments), contribution of the Grand Isle Gathering System, LP (“GIGS”) to the sellers with a fair value of $48.9 million and $105.0 million in new term loan and revolver borrowings (the “Crimson Credit Facility”), all as detailed further below (the “Crimson Transaction”). The preliminary fair value of the aggregate consideration is $343.8 million, subject to certain post-closing purchase price adjustments.
Crimson owns indirectly an approximately 2,000-mile crude oil transportation pipeline system, including approximately 1,300 active miles, and associated storage facilities located in southern California and the San Joaquin Valley. The pipeline network provides a critical link between California crude oil production and California refineries. The California Public Utility Commission (“CPUC”) regulates the rates and administration of the transportation tariffs which comprise the majority of Crimson’s revenue generating activities.
To effect the Crimson Transaction, the Company entered into and consummated a Membership Interest Purchase agreement (the “MIPA”) with CGI Crimson Holdings, L.L.C. (“Carlyle”), Crimson, and John D. Grier (“Grier”). Pursuant to the terms of the MIPA, the Company acquired all of the Class C Units of Crimson owned by Carlyle, which represents 49.50 percent of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Crimson, in exchange for $66.0 million in cash and the transfer to Carlyle of the Company’s interest in GIGS. The MIPA also contains standard representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. The Company’s interest was acquired with an effective date of February 1, 2021, as contemplated by the parties and documented in the First Amendment to the MIPA.
As described above, a portion of the consideration paid to Carlyle pursuant to the MIPA was the transfer of the Company’s interest in GIGS. In connection with that disposition, the Company and Grand Isle Corridor, LP, the Company’s subsidiary (“Grand Isle”), entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC, Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc. and CEXXI, LLC (the “EXXI Entities”). Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC (“EGC Tenant”) was the tenant under the Lease Agreement, dated June 30, 2015 with Grand Isle (the “GIGS Lease”). Grand Isle initially received a Guaranty dated June 22, 2015 from Energy XXI Ltd. in connection with the original purchase of the GIGS, which was assumed by Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc., as guarantor of the obligations of EGC Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Assignment and Assumption of Guaranty and Release dated December 30, 2016 (as assigned and assumed, the “Tenant Guaranty”). Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company and Grand Isle released the EXXI Entities for any and all claims, except for the Environmental Indemnity under the GIGS Lease, which shall survive, and the EXXI Entities released the Company and Grand Isle from any and all claims. As previously disclosed in the Company’s periodic reports, the Company had initiated litigation to enforce its rights under the GIGS Lease, including for non-payment of rent. The parties have agreed to jointly dismiss such litigation in connection with the Settlement Agreement. Additionally, the GIGS Lease and Tenant Guaranty were cancelled and terminated.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on our historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the Crimson Transaction, GIGS disposition and Settlement Agreement, and related debt financing as of February 1, 2021 (collectively the “Crimson Transaction Adjustments”). The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Crimson Transaction Adjustments as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Crimson Transaction Adjustments as if they had occurred on December 31, 2020.

Exhibit 99.3
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 also gives effect to the sale of the Pinedale Liquids Gathering System ("Pinedale LGS") to Ultra Wyoming, LLC ("Ultra Wyoming") and termination of the Pinedale Lease Agreement (collectively, the “Pinedale Transaction”) effective January 1, 2020. The Pinedale Transaction was completed on June 30, 2020 as described in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K dated June 26, 2020 and July 7, 2020. The Pinedale Transaction pro forma adjustments are referred to as the Pinedale Other Transaction Adjustments. We refer to these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements as “pro forma financial information.”
The pro forma financial information has been prepared by CorEnergy for illustrative and informational purposes only in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses, as adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 21, 2020. The pro forma financial information is based on various adjustments and assumptions and is not necessarily indicative of what CorEnergy’s consolidated statement of operations or consolidated statement of financial condition actually would have been had the Crimson Transaction and other transaction adjustments been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and will be different from the adjustments based on final acquisition accounting when it is completed, and these differences could be material.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and accompanying notes have also been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), including the acquisition method of accounting. The accounting principles are consistent with those used in the audited CorEnergy consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the 2020 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021 and the audited Combined Carve-Out Financial Statements of Crimson California and the related notes included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

Exhibit 99.3
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The CorEnergy and Crimson historical information has been derived from CorEnergy’s and Crimson’s audited historical financial statements, respectively. Crimson is also referred to as “Crimson California” in reference to historical periods for the entity. Certain of CorEnergy’s and Crimson California’s historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to CorEnergy’s financial statement presentation as discussed further in Note 2. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and related notes thereto of CorEnergy and Crimson California. The pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition as if it had been completed on December 31, 2020. The pro forma combined statement of operations gives effect to the acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2020. The acquisition and the related adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. In the opinion of CorEnergy’s management, all material adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly, in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses, as adopted by the SEC on May 21, 2020. The pro forma financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the combined company that would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of CorEnergy’s future financial position or results of operations.
As of February 1, 2021, CorEnergy holds a 49.50 percent interest in Crimson and Grier and Grier members hold the remaining 50.50 percent interest. Crimson is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as the legal entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights resulting from (i) the disproportionality between the voting interests of its members and certain economics of the distribution waterfall in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Agreement (“Third LLC Agreement”) and (ii) the de facto agent relationship between CorEnergy and Grier, who was appointed to CorEnergy’s Board of Directors upon closing of the Crimson Transaction. As a result of this related party relationship, substantially all of Crimson’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of CorEnergy that has disproportionately few voting rights, including Grier as a de facto agent. CorEnergy was determined to be the entity “most closely associated” with the VIE. Therefore, CorEnergy is the primary beneficiary and will consolidate Crimson. Grier’s 50.50 percent interest is reflected as a non-controlling interest in the pro forma financial information. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared based on the Company’s consolidation conclusions for Crimson.

Accounting Policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information are those described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company performed a preliminary review of Crimson California’s accounting policies to determine whether any adjustments were necessary to ensure comparability in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. The Company identified differences in the timing of the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification
11
Exhibit 99.3
Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), as discussed below, and certain amounts that have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s financial statement presentation. At this time, the Company is not aware of any other differences that would have a material effect on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information, including any differences in the timing of adoption of new accounting standards. However, the Company will continue to perform its detailed review of Crimson California’s accounting policies. Upon completion of that review, differences may be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.
The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, whereas Crimson California, as a private company, adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2021. Based on a preliminary assessment, the primary impact of adopting the new standard relates to the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $7.1 million and operating lease liabilities of $7.2 million as of January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the adoption of ASC 842 as well as the application of purchase accounting to the acquired leases, as further described in Note 3 herein. The Company did not identify any material impacts to the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations as a result of Crimson California’s adoption of ASC 842.
12
Exhibit 99.3
Note 3 - Preliminary Acquisition Accounting
CorEnergy has determined it is the accounting acquirer for the Crimson Transaction, which will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The allocation of the preliminary estimated purchase price with respect to the Crimson Transaction is based upon management's estimates of and assumptions related to the fair values of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as of February 1, 2021. The pro forma financial statements have been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, and as such, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on CorEnergy’s financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein. CorEnergy expects to finalize the purchase price allocation no later than 12 months after completing the Crimson Transaction.
The following tables present the preliminary consideration and preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Crimson Transaction:

Non-controlling Interest
At closing of the Crimson Transaction and under the Third LLC Agreement, Grier and the Grier Members’ interests in Crimson were exchanged for (i) 1,613,202 Class A-1 Units, (ii) 2,436,000 Class A-2 Units, (iii) 2,450,142 Class A-3 Units and 505,000 of C-1 Units, which represent a 50.50 percent voting interest in Crimson. Grier and the Grier Members’ ownership interest in the Class A-1, A-2 and A-3 units at Crimson is reflected as a non-controlling interest in the pro forma combined financial statements and was recognized at fair value at closing of the transaction.
Under the Third LLC Agreement, all material business decisions and actions will require supermajority approval of the Crimson managers; provided, however, that Grier will make decisions regarding the day-to-day operations of the assets regulated by the CPUC. Change of control of the CPUC regulated assets is subject to the approval of the CPUC (“CPUC Approval”), which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2021. Upon CPUC Approval, the parties will enter into a Fourth Amended and Restated LLC Agreement of Crimson (“Fourth LLC Agreement”), which will, among other things, (i) give the Company additional ownership of Crimson and its assets in connection with an anticipated further restructuring of the Company's asset ownership structure and (ii) provide the Grier Members and Management Members (as defined below) the right to exchange their entire interest in Crimson for securities of the Company as follows:
•Class A-1 Units will become exchangeable for up to 1,613,202 shares of a newly created Series C Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series C Preferred”), which may be converted by the holder into up to 1,716,172 of the Company’s depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of the Company’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”);
•Class A-2 Units will become exchangeable for up to 2,436,000 shares of a newly created Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series B Preferred”), which will be convertible, provided that the Company’s existing stockholders approve in compliance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), into up to 8,675,214 additional shares of a new non-listed Class B Common Stock of the Company (“Class B Common Stock”), with such conversion to occur automatically assuming stockholder approval is received; and
14
Exhibit 99.3
•Class A-3 Units will become exchangeable for up to 2,450,142 shares of the newly created Class B Common Stock.
Prior to CPUC approval, the terms of the Third LLC Agreement provide the Grier Members the right to receive any distributions that the Company’s Board of Directors determines would be payable if they held the shares of Class B Common Stock, Series B Preferred, and Series C Preferred, respectively. Following CPUC Approval, the terms of the Fourth LLC Agreement provide that such rights will continue until the Grier Members elect to exchange the Crimson units for the related securities of the Company. In addition, after CPUC Approval, certain Crimson units held by the Grier Members are expected to be transferred to other individuals currently managing Crimson (the “Management Members”).
Note 4 - Transaction Accounting Adjustments - Grand Isle Gathering System Disposal
A. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, as if the sale of the Grand Isle Gathering System occurred on December 31, 2020.
The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:
4a) This adjustment reflects the disposal and loss on the GIGS asset, which was provided to Carlyle as partial consideration for the Crimson Transaction. Carlyle also assumed the asset retirement obligation associated with the GIGS asset (collectively, the “GIGS Disposal Group”). As of December 31, 2020, the net book value of GIGS was $63.6 million (including accumulated depreciation of $6.6 million) and the asset retirement obligation was $8.8 million. The GIGS asset had a fair value of $48.9 million upon closing of the Crimson Transaction resulting in a pro forma loss on disposal and impairment of leased property of approximately $6.0 million for the GIGS Disposal Group, which is included in retained earnings.
4b) This adjustment of $48.9 million reflects the fair value of assets received in exchange for the GIGS leased asset, which in combination with the $65.0 million adjustment in 5b) represents the pro forma adjustment for the property and equipment acquired at fair value. Refer to Note 3 for the preliminary purchase price allocation, which includes the other purchase consideration provided upon closing of the Crimson Transaction.
4c) This adjustment reflects the pro forma write-off of the deferred lease costs of $168 thousand associated with the termination of the GIGS Lease, which results in a pro forma loss on termination of the lease, included in retained earnings.
4d) The adjustment reflects the pro forma decrease in the management fee payable under the Management Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2015 and effective as of May 1, 2015, by and between the Company, and Corridor InfraTrust Management, LLC (the "Manager") of approximately $641 thousand due to a reduction in the assets under management resulting from the GIGS disposal.
B. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, as if the sale of the Grand Isle Gathering System occurred on January 1, 2020.
The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
4e) This adjustment reflects the elimination of lease revenue of $10.2 million related to the GIGS Lease recognized in the first quarter of 2020. The EGC Tenant did not pay rent for the remainder of 2020 and the GIGS Lease was terminated in connection with the closing of the Crimson Transaction.
4f) This adjustment reflects the pro forma decrease in the management fee expense under the Management agreement between the Company and the Manager of approximately $2.6 million due to a reduction in the assets under management resulting from the GIGS sale.
15
Exhibit 99.3
4g) This adjustment reflects the pro forma decrease in general and administrative expense of $1.2 million, primarily for legal and consulting costs related to the litigation with the EGC Tenant and the asset impairment recognized in the first quarter of 2020.
4h) This adjustment reflects the elimination of depreciation, amortization, and accretion expense of $6.5 million as a result of the sale of GIGS and termination of the GIGS Lease.
4i) This adjustment assumes the GIGS impairment of $140.3 million occurred at the beginning of the year and was followed by an immediate sale of the GIGS asset on January 1, 2020. Post-impairment the GIGS asset had a net book value of $69.4 million and an asset retirement obligation of $8.0 million, collectively the GIGS Disposal Group of $61.4 million. The fair value at the time of sale was $48.9 million resulting in a loss on impairment and disposal of leased property of approximately $12.5 million.
4j) This adjustment reflects the pro forma write-off of the deferred lease costs of $199 thousand associated with the termination of the GIGS Lease, which results in a pro forma loss on termination of the lease.
4k) CorEnergy operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and therefore, the pro forma adjustments to the combined statement of operations for this transaction do not have an impact on income taxes.
Note 5 - Transaction Accounting Adjustments - Acquisition and Financing
In addition to the reclassification adjustments in Note 2, the pro forma financial statements reflect adjustments to (i) reconcile the historical book value of Crimson to the preliminary fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, (ii) reflect the refinancing of Crimson California’s debt, (iii) reflect the transfer of GIGS to Carlyle and (iv) include the estimated direct transaction costs.
A. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, as if the Crimson Transaction occurred on December 31, 2020.
The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:
5a) This adjustment reflects the following impacts to cash and cash equivalents as a result of the closing of the Crimson Transaction:

5b) This adjustment of $65.0 million, along with the adjustment in 4b) of $48.9 million representing the partial consideration for the GIGS asset and the historical Crimson California value of $218.3 million, reflects the increase in property and equipment to realize fair value of the assets acquired in the Crimson Transaction of $332.2 million. The material assets acquired include land, crude oil pipelines, rights of way, tanks and pumping equipment for which the estimated useful lives per the Company’s accounting policy are outlined in the table below:

B. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, as if the Crimson Transaction occurred on January 1, 2020.
The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
5i) This adjustment reflects the step up in fair value of crude oil inventory of $684 thousand, which was determined based on average market prices, less a discount to sell at the acquisition date. The pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 is adjusted to increase transportation and distribution expense by the same amount, because the inventory is expected to be sold within one year of the acquisition date.
5j) This adjustment reflects $2.0 million in transaction costs incurred at closing for investment advisors and legal fees and $783 thousand of additional due diligence costs incurred for legal, accounting and valuation services prior to closing the transaction, which were not reflected in the historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Note 6 - Other Transaction Adjustments
A. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, as if the Other Transaction Adjustments occurred on December 31, 2020.
The other adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:
6a) This adjustment reflects the legal and unused fees of $106 thousand paid for the CorEnergy Credit Facility with Regions Bank, which was terminated in connection with the closing of the Crimson Transaction. As of December 31, 2020, there was no outstanding balance on the CorEnergy Credit Facility.
6b) This adjustment reflects the elimination of the deferred debt issuance costs of $910 thousand due to the termination of the CorEnergy Credit Facility with Regions Bank.
6c) This adjustment reflects the income tax provision of $237 thousand due to moving crude oil inventory and the subsequent sales of Crimson’s pipeline loss allowance inventory to a taxable REIT subsidiary as these activities are non-qualifying REIT activities.
B. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, as if the Other Transaction Adjustments occurred on January 1, 2020.
The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
6d) In connection with the closing of the Crimson Transaction, Crimson entered into Transition Services Agreements (“TSAs”) with Crescent Gulf, an affiliated entity previously under common control prior to the transaction. The TSAs provide for Crescent Gulf to reimburse Crimson for employees’ salaries and benefits and administrative services provided on their behalf. The TSA reimbursement will be presented net within transportation and distribution expense and general and administrative expense. This adjustment of $3.5 million reflects the net presentation in transportation and distribution expense ($386 thousand) and general and administrative expense ($3.1 million) of the costs incurred and reimbursed under the TSA agreements in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.
19

A. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 for the Pinedale Transaction
The sale of the Pinedale LGS occurred on June 30, 2020; and therefore, the disposal of the asset is already reflected in the Company’s historical balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.
B. Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, as if the Pinedale Transaction occurred on January 1, 2020.
The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
7a): This adjustment reflects the elimination of lease revenue of $11.1 million related to the Pinedale Lease Agreement, which was terminated on June 30, 2020.
7b): The adjustment reflects the pro forma decrease in management fee expense under the Management Agreement between the Company and the Manager of approximately $1.2 million for the first and second quarters of 2020 due to a reduction in the assets under management resulting from the Pinedale Transaction.
7c): This adjustment reflects the pro forma decrease in general and administrative expense of $1.0 million, primarily for legal and consulting costs related to the sale of the Pinedale LGS.
7d): This adjustment reflects the elimination of depreciation and amortization expense of $3.6 million as a result of the sale of the Pinedale LGS and termination of the Pinedale Lease Agreement.
7e): The adjustment reflects the elimination of interest expense of $1.2 million as a result of the settlement of the Amended Pinedale Term Credit Facility.
7f): CorEnergy operates as a REIT and therefore, the pro forma adjustments to the combined statement of operations for the Pinedale Transaction do not have an impact on income taxes.
Note 8 - Crimson California Other Information
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the volumes associated with the Crimson California combined historical financial statements were 196,388 barrels per day (bpd) and 104,457 bpd, respectively. The increase in bpd for 2020 is primarily due to the acquisition of the San Pablo Bay System and other proprietary assets from Shell Pipeline Company, LP (collectively, the “SBP Acquisition”) described further below.
In March of 2020, Crimson California completed the SBP Acquisition. Crimson California’s historical combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 does not reflect revenue and expenses from the SPB Acquisition for January and February of 2020 due to the timing of the acquisition. Unaudited revenue for the two months ended February 28, 2020 related to the SPB Acquisition was $13.0 million. The unaudited expenses for the two months ended February 28, 2020 were $10.8 million under Shell Pipeline Company’s ownership. These

expenses are not representative of expenses incurred since Crimson California acquired the assets and may not be representative of future expenses.
Note 9 - Pro Forma Loss Per Share
Pro forma net loss per common share is determined by dividing the pro forma net loss attributable to common stockholders, adjusted for the non-controlling interest in Crimson California, and the impact from the transaction and other transaction adjustments outlined above by the weighted average common stock outstanding to determine both the basic and diluted net loss per common share. The pro forma adjustments do not impact the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.
