Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 7, 2025, Mach Natural Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company,” “we” or “our”), completed its public offering (the “Offering”) of 12,903,226 common units representing limited partner interests in the Company (“Common Units”), at $15.50 per Common Unit pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283511) (the “Registration Statement”), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on November 27, 2024 and declared effective by the Commission on December 9, 2024. The material provisions of the Offering are described in the base prospectus, dated December 9, 2024, which forms part of and is included in the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by the final prospectus supplement, dated February 6, 2025, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus”).

 

On February 6, 2025, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Company, Mach Natural Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, Raymond James & Associates, Inc., TCBI Securities, Inc., doing business as Texas Capital Securities, and Truist Securities, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), providing for the offer and sale by the Company, and purchase by the Underwriters, of the Common Units. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters an option for a period of 30 days to purchase up to an additional 1,935,483 Common Units on the same terms. In connection with the Offering, Bayou City Energy Management LLC (“BCE”), an affiliate of our general partner, purchased 5,161,290 Common Units in the Offering at the public offering price. In connection therewith, the Underwriters received a reduced underwriting discount on such Common Units purchased by BCE compared to other Common Units sold to the public in the Offering. The material terms of the Offering are described in the Prospectus. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, closing conditions and termination provisions. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

 

The Offering closed on February 7, 2025. The Company received proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses) from the Offering of approximately $192.5 million. As described in the Prospectus, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to pay in full the approximately $23.0 million of borrowings outstanding under its super priority credit facility, and the remainder to repay a portion of its term loan credit facility. The Company expects to repay the remainder of borrowings under and terminate its term loan credit facility with cash on hand and proceeds from the credit facility it intends to enter into following the consummation of the Offering. As more fully described under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus, certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking, commercial banking and other financial advisory and commercial dealings with the Company or its affiliates. Additionally, certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Company or its affiliates.

 

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
