Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 14, 2021, PHX Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “Buyer”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Palmetto Investments Partners, LLC, Palmetto Investments Partners II, LLC and Crestwood Exploration Partners, LLC (the “Sellers”) to acquire certain mineral and royalty assets primarily located in Stephens, Carter, and Garvin Counties, Oklahoma, for aggregate consideration of $11,947,000, comprised of $9,547,000 in cash and $2,400,000 of common stock (the “Equity Consideration”) of the Company. The acquisition includes mineral and royalty assets totaling approximately 2,698 net royalty acres and 2,018 net mineral acres in the SCOOP 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 in late April. The acquisition has an effective date of November 1, 2020.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities by each of the applicable parties thereto. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Buyer and Sellers agree that, upon closing, the Equity Consideration will be held in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims arising under the Purchase Agreement.  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 shares constituting the Equity Consideration.  The Company agrees to file a resale registration statement and to use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible after the filing thereof.
