PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WhiteHawk Minerals Corp. (NYSE: WHK) (“WhiteHawk” or the “Company”) today announced the closing of approximately $111.8 million of acquisitions (the “Acquisitions”), including the approximately $105.0 million purchase of Marcellus, Utica and Haynesville Shale natural gas mineral and royalty assets from San Jacinto Minerals II (“SJM II”), previously announced on August 12, 2026. The Acquisitions were funded with proceeds from a $50.0 million issuance of shares of our newly created Series E Preferred Stock, which closed on September 23, 2026, and the previously announced $75.0 million private placement of our Class A common stock, which closed on September 21, 2026. In connection with the closing of the Acquisitions, the Company also completed its fall redetermination of its reserve-based revolving credit facility with an increase to $175.0 million in borrowing capacity, which remains fully undrawn.

Acquisition Closing Summary

The Acquisitions, including SJM II’s Appalachia and Haynesville assets, cover approximately 700,000 gross unit acres and 11,810 net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) at an average net revenue interest of 0.21%, including more than 1,700 producing wells, 245 wells in process and permits, and 2,500 undeveloped locations. The Appalachia interests span approximately 600,000 gross unit acres anchored by EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT), Range Resources Corporation (NYSE: RRC), CNX Resources Corporation (NYSE: CNX) and Antero Resources Corporation (NYSE: AR), and the Haynesville interests span approximately 100,000 gross unit acres anchored by Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: EXE), Apex Energy LLC and Adamas Energy LLC.

Management Commentary

“The closing of the Acquisitions and related equity financings reflects our continued execution of WhiteHawk’s business strategy, and deepens our exposure to the core of Appalachia and the Haynesville under the basins’ leading operators,” said Daniel Herz, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of WhiteHawk. “Along with the Acquisitions, increasing our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility to $175.0 million, which remains fully undrawn, gives us significant liquidity and flexibility to continue pursuing disciplined, accretive growth while maintaining our low-leverage profile.”

Key Terms

private placement financial

A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.

reserve-based revolving credit facility financial

A reserve-based revolving credit facility is a bank loan line for natural‑resource companies where the amount they can borrow is tied to the value of their proven reserves and can be drawn, repaid and redrawn over time. Think of it like a home equity line that uses oil, gas or mineral reserves as collateral; investors watch it because changes in reserve estimates or commodity prices can quickly raise borrowing costs, trigger limits or strain cash flow.

net revenue interest technical

Net revenue interest is the percentage of production income a property owner actually keeps after other claims such as royalties, taxes or operator fees are paid. Think of it as your slice of the pie after everyone else takes their share; it tells investors how much cash from sales will flow to the owner and directly affects expected revenue, valuation and return on an oil, gas or mineral asset.
