Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 10, 2021, PHX Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “Buyer”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Vendera Resources III, LP and Vendera Management III, LLC (“Sellers”) to acquire certain mineral and royalty assets primarily located in De-Soto and Caddo Parishes, Louisiana and Nacogdoches County, Texas, for aggregate consideration of $5,200,000, comprised of $520,000 in cash, subject to increase to compensate for a Share Reduction (as defined below), and $4,680,000 of common stock of the Company,  or 1,519,481 shares, based on the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five days ended November 5, 2021 of $3.08 per share, subject to a reduction in such number of shares (a “Share Reduction”), if necessary, to result in Sellers owning 4.9% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company at the time of closing (the “Equity Consideration”). The acquisition includes mineral and royalty assets totaling approximately 827 net royalty acres in the Haynesville play. The purchase price under the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary adjustments, including adjustments based on due diligence. The closing of the acquisition is expected to occur on or around December 1, 2021. The acquisition has an effective date of November 1, 2021.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities by each of the applicable parties thereto. The parties’ obligations to close the acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing the acquisition will be satisfied.  

 

The Purchase Agreement includes registration rights relating to the Equity Consideration pursuant to which the Company agrees to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) the shares of common stock constituting the Equity Consideration. The Company agrees to file a resale registration statement with the Commission within 30 days of closing the transaction and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof.  

 

The above description of the material terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

 

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. As described in Item 1.01, upon the closing of the acquisition pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue the Equity Consideration to Sellers. The issuance of the Equity Consideration is expected to be undertaken in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), afforded by Section 4(a)(2) thereunder, since the issuance will not involve a public offering.  No underwriters will be involved in the issuance of the Equity Consideration and the Company will pay no underwriting discounts or commissions.

 

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On November 10, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the Company’s entry into the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the attached Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
