(the “Company” or “Riley Permian”) issued a press release announcing that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Riley Permian authorized a share repurchase program. A copy of the news release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference herein. The information in Item 7.01 of this report (including 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 15, 2025, the Board of Riley Permian authorized a share repurchase program for up to $100 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock over a period of 24 months. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise. The Board also authorized the Company to enter into written trading plans under Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act with a third-party broker to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to its share repurchase program.
The Company cannot predict when or if it will repurchase any shares of common stock as such stock repurchase program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in any written trading plans, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. Information regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.
This Form 8-K and press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or referenced in this press release regarding Riley Permian’s dividend plans and practices, share repurchases, capital allocation, financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives for future operations, industry conditions, cash flow, and borrowings are forward-looking statements. When used in this release, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “target,” “could,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items contemplating or making assumptions about actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, and trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond Riley Permian’s control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
