Insights

This strategic restructuring represents a significant transformation of EON Resources' capital structure, with multi-faceted benefits for the company's financial health. The deal effectively reduces total liabilities by approximately $42M through the elimination of $18M in debt obligations and $24M in preferred unit redemption value.

The acquisition of the 10% Overriding Royalty Interest is particularly noteworthy. At $200,000 monthly revenue ($2.4M annually), this asset provides an attractive 17.1% annual return on its $14M valuation. This recurring revenue stream could significantly enhance EON's cash flow position and help service any new debt taken on to finance the $22M cash consideration.

The deal's structure is intelligent from a capital allocation perspective. The equity component of 3M shares represents approximately 2.4% dilution based on the current market cap, a reasonable cost for the substantial debt reduction and asset acquisition. The elimination of the Class B common stock and preferred units also simplifies the company's equity structure, potentially making it more attractive to institutional investors.

However, the 120-day financing window presents a critical execution risk. Given current market conditions and EON's improved post-transaction balance sheet metrics, securing financing should be feasible, but the terms of such financing will be important to the deal's ultimate value creation. The company's ability to negotiate favorable financing terms will significantly impact the net benefit of this restructuring.

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2025 / EON Resources Inc. (NYSE American:EONR) ("EON" or the "Company") announced it has entered into an agreement with Pogo Royalty, LLC ("Pogo" or "Seller") that would result in a restructure of EON's balance sheet through (a) the retirement of a promissory note to Seller having an original principal amount of $15,000,000, (b) the purchase of a 10% Overriding Royalty Interest ("ORRI") in the Company's oil field property from Seller and (c) the repurchase of 100% of preferred units held by Seller in EON's subsidiary which would otherwise convert into the Company's Class A common stock on November 15, 2025 pursuant to a formula. The total consideration payable to Pogo in connection with the restructuring consists of $22,000,000 in cash from EON plus the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock to the Seller.

The agreement is subject to various closing conditions, including, without limitation, that the Company obtain adequate financing to fund the cash consideration portion, and that the agreement shall terminate if the closing does not take place within 120 days. The agreement also contains mutual general releases, which shall be effective upon the closing of the agreement.

The effect on the Company's balance sheet and financial position exclusive of the final financing arrangements the secure the $22 million in cash consideration is anticipated to include the following:

  • A reduction of liabilities comprised of principal and accrued interest debt owing to Seller of approximately $18,000,000

  • Reduction of $24,000,000 of redemption value of the currently outstanding preferred units held by Seller.

  • The ORRI which is valued at $14 million and is presently generating approximately $200,000 per month in proceeds.

  • The elimination of outstanding shares of the Company's Class B common stock.

"Over the past 15 months, EON has continued to develop its Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field by reinvesting available cash flow into field enhancements," said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of EON. "The overhang from our De-SPAC transaction in terms of one-time expenses, and a very complicated and burdened balance sheet, has restricted our ability to really unlock the underlying potential and value of our assets. This transaction should create immediate value for our equity holders. We are currently looking at a range of options to finance this purchase, and are in discussions with various financial advisors to assist us in this endeavor."

About the Oil Field Property

In November 2023, the Company acquired LH Operating, LLC ("LHO") including its holdings in New Mexico of oil and gas waterflood production comprising 13,700 contiguous leasehold acres, 342 producing wells and 207 injection wells situated on 20 federal and 3 state leases in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field. The Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field is located on the Northwest Shelf of the prolific Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico.

Leasehold rights of LHO, now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, include the Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg and San Andres intervals that range from as shallow as 1,500 feet to 4,000 feet in depth. The December 2023 reserve report from our third-party engineer, William H. Cobb and Associates, Inc. ("Cobb"), reflects LHO to have proven reserves of approximately 15.4 million barrels of oil and 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The mapped original-oil-in-place ("OOIP") in the LHO leasehold is approximately 876 million barrels of oil in the Grayburg and San Andres intervals and 80 million barrels in the Seven Rivers interval for a total OOIP of approximately 956,000,000 barrels of oil.

Our primary production is currently from the Seven Rivers zone. In addition to proven reserves, the Company believes it may access an additional 34 million barrels of oil by adding perforations in the Grayburg and San Andres formations. With proven oil reserves of over 15 million barrels, combined with the potential 34 million additional barrels from the Grayburg and San Andres zones, LHO should produce oil and a revenue stream for more than two decades with a low decline rate.
