Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On May 22, 2026, Northern Oil and Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) among Parallax Energy Operating Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta (“Seller”), NOG Energy Canada, Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), and, for certain limited purposes, the Company pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to acquire from Seller (the “Parallax Acquisition”) certain oil and gas properties, interests and related assets (the “Assets”) for an unadjusted aggregate purchase price of CA$237.0 million in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), plus a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), having an aggregate dollar value equal to the United States dollar equivalent (as of the business day immediately preceding closing of the Parallax Acquisition (the “Closing”)) of CA$113.0 million based on a per share value calculated in accordance with the PSA (such shares, the “Stock Consideration”), subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. Pursuant to the PSA, at Closing, the Company and Seller will also enter into a Contingent Consideration Agreement (as defined in the PSA) pursuant to which the Company may owe additional contingent consideration of CA$25.0 million (“the “Contingent Consideration”) if the arithmetic average of the daily settlement price for the NYMEX WTI crude oil prompt month contract exceeds a specified price from April 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. If the Contingent Consideration becomes due and payable by the Company to Parallax, the Company may elect, subject to certain limitations, to satisfy all or a portion of such Contingent Consideration in Common Stock of the Company, with any remainder payable in cash. Pursuant to the PSA, on the execution date thereof, Purchaser deposited CA$37.5 million (the “Acquisition Deposit”) into an escrow account, which will be credited toward the Cash Consideration payable at the Closing. If the PSA is terminated in accordance with its terms and conditions, the Acquisition Deposit will be disbursed to Purchaser or Seller as provided in the PSA. The PSA contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions and has an effective date of April 1, 2026.
The obligations of the parties to complete the transactions contemplated by the PSA are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions set forth in the PSA.
Pursuant to the PSA, in connection with the Closing, the Company will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Seller pursuant to which the Company will agree to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a shelf registration statement, or a prospectus supplement to an existing registration statement, on Form S-3ASR, covering the resale of the Stock Consideration no later than the later to occur of (x) the first business day following the Closing and (y) three business days after receipt of a completed customary questionnaire from Seller (subject to certain conditions and exceptions). The form of the Registration Rights Agreement is attached to the PSA as Schedule H thereto.
The foregoing description of the PSA, including the Form of Registration Rights Agreement which is attached as Schedule H thereto, and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the PSA, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The PSA has been included with this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the transactions contemplated therein. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Purchaser, Seller or the Assets. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the PSA, which are made only for purposes of the PSA and as of specific dates, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the PSA, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the PSA instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Company security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Purchaser, Seller or the Assets. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the PSA, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
