Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
White Rock Acquisition
On May 13, 2025, Morningstar Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Morningstar”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of TXO Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), together with [North Hudson Resource Partners, LP] (together with Morningstar, the “Purchaser Parties”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with White Rock Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), to purchase certain oil, gas and mineral assets (such assets to be purchased by us pursuant to the PSA, the “White Rock Assets”), which are located in the Williston Basin of Montana and North Dakota, for consideration payable by us consisting of $279.9 million in cash payable at closing and an additional $70 million in cash payable twelve (12) months following closing (the “White Rock Cash Consideration”), subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the “White Rock Acquisition”).
The PSA contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, termination rights and indemnification provisions for a transaction of this size and nature, provides the parties thereto with specified rights and obligations and allocates risk among them in a customary manner. The Partnership expects the White Rock Acquisition to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of specified closing conditions. If consummated, the effective date of the White Rock Acquisition will be May 1, 2025. The obligation of each party to consummate the White Rock Acquisition is also conditioned upon, among other things, title and environmental defects affecting the properties being below certain thresholds, the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions) and the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the PSA. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing the White Rock Acquisition will be satisfied.
The PSA contains termination rights for each party, including, among others, in the event that the consummation of the transactions do not occur on or before August 31, 2025. Upon termination of the PSA under specified circumstances, the Seller would be entitled to retain the $47.5 million deposit given by the Purchaser Parties.
The foregoing description of the PSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the PSA filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
The PSA contains representations, warranties and other provisions that were made only for purposes of the PSA and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto. The PSA is a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto and is not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the Purchaser Parties or the Seller or the assets to be acquired from the Seller. The representations and warranties made by the Purchaser Parties and the Seller in the PSA may be (i) qualified by disclosure schedules containing information that modifies, qualifies or creates exceptions to such representations and warranties and (ii) subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.
