Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Prairie Operating Co. reported strong growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, driven by expanded DJ Basin oil and gas operations. Crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues were $98.9 million in the quarter and $182.3 million year‑to‑date, compared with $68.1 million and $80.9 million in 2025.

Quarterly net income attributable to the company was $109.0 million, while year‑to‑date results showed a net loss of $43.7 million, largely reflecting a $132.0 million loss on derivatives for the first half, partly offset by $16.4 million of gains from fair‑value adjustments on financial instrument liabilities. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $193.8 million for the quarter and $19.4 million year‑to‑date.

Operating cash flow for the first half of 2026 increased to $94.3 million from $9.7 million a year earlier, funding significant development spending of $132.6 million. Total assets were $1.01 billion, supported by $927.2 million of oil and gas properties, while borrowings under the reserve‑based credit facility rose to $436.0 million against a $475.0 million borrowing base. The company also restructured and partially redeemed its Series F preferred stock, reducing mezzanine equity to $43.2 million and recording sizable remeasurement impacts that boosted earnings available to common.

Positive

  • Revenue more than doubled year‑to‑date to $182.3 million from $80.9 million for the first half of 2025, reflecting substantially higher production and/or realized prices.
  • Operating cash flow surged to $94.3 million for the first half of 2026, compared with $9.7 million in 2025, significantly improving internal funding capacity for capital spending.
  • Borrowing base raised to $475.0 million on the reserve‑based credit facility, supporting liquidity with $39.0 million of availability as of June 30, 2026.

Negative

  • First‑half 2026 net loss of $43.7 million despite higher revenues, driven largely by a $132.0 million loss on derivatives.
  • Credit facility debt increased to $436.0 million from $366.0 million, and covenant terms on the Current Ratio were eased, highlighting higher leverage and tighter liquidity.
  • Commodity derivative position swung from a $53.4 million asset at December 31, 2025 to a $31.7 million liability at June 30, 2026, increasing balance‑sheet risk tied to hedging.

Filing Explained

As of June 30, 2026, up to 21,156,339 additional common shares could be issued through Series F conversion rights; they were not reported as issued.

The Form 10-Q is the company’s unaudited quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026; it records an incremental Series F share right that can affect common-holder ownership if exercised.

The right permits the Series F holder to convert into up to 21,156,339 additional common shares at any time and at any price. The filing records the right as a $15.3 million liability rather than as common stock already issued; if exercised, additional shares would reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.

As of June 30, 2026, the company reported $21 thousand of cash, $436.0 million of credit-facility borrowings, and $39.0 million of stated availability, so the disclosed liquidity position was represented mainly by borrowing capacity rather than cash on hand.

The filing also states that the Series F anniversary-warrant issuance date was extended to August 31, 2026; separately, an August credit-facility amendment changes the current-ratio requirement for specified 2026 quarters and begins a production test on September 30, 2026.

mezzanine equity financial
"Series F convertible preferred stock ... classified as mezzanine equity"
Mezzanine equity is a layer of financing that sits between bank loans and full ownership, combining elements of borrowed money and equity. It often gives lenders higher potential returns in exchange for taking more risk, sometimes with the option to convert into ownership or receive extra payments; think of it as a middle seat that pays more because it’s less secure than front-row debt. Investors watch it because it affects a company’s debt risk, potential dilution of ownership, and expected returns.
reserve–based credit agreement financial
"entered into a reserve–based credit agreement with Citi"
asset retirement obligation financial
"The following table presents the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligation"
A liability recorded for the future cost to retire, dismantle or clean up a long-lived asset — for example removing an oil rig, closing a mine, or decommissioning a plant. Investors care because it reduces reported profit and ties up capital: companies must estimate and set aside money now for a known future expense, and changes to that estimate can swing earnings, debt ratios and the company’s cash needs much like setting aside savings to repair or return a rented property later.
embedded derivatives financial
"certain features of the Series F Preferred Stock require bifurcation and separate accounting as embedded derivatives"
An embedded derivative is a hidden financial option or payout rule built into a larger contract—like a bond, loan, or supply agreement—that makes part of the deal behave like a separate financial bet whose value swings with interest rates, currencies, commodity prices, or a company’s stock. Investors care because these built‑in features can change reported assets, liabilities and profits and add unexpected risk or upside, like finding a bonus or penalty clause inside a rental lease.
Incremental Share Rights financial

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance, business strategies, expansion plans, future results of operations, estimated revenues, losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations, estimates, projections and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events, and are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “project” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:


estimates of our oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) reserves;
 
drilling prospects, inventories, projects, and programs;
 
estimates of our future oil and natural gas production, including estimates of any increases or decreases in our production;
 
financial strategy, liquidity, and capital required for our development program and other capital expenditures;
 
the availability and adequacy of cash flow to meet our requirements;
 
the availability of additional capital for our operations;
 
changes in our business and growth strategy, including our ability to successfully operate and expand our business;
 
our integration of acquisitions;
 
changes or developments in applicable laws or regulations, including with respect to taxes; and
 
actions taken or not taken by third-parties, including our contractors and competitors.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

These risks include, but are not limited to:


the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025;

our ability to fund our development and drilling plan;

our ability to grow our operations, and to fund such operations, on the anticipated timeline or at all;

uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil, natural gas, and NGL reserves and projecting future rates of production and the amount and timing of development expenditures;

commodity price and cost volatility and inflation;

our ability to obtain and maintain necessary permits and approvals to develop our assets;

safety and environmental requirements that may subject us to unanticipated liabilities;

changes in the regulations governing our business and operations, including the businesses, assets, and operations we have acquired or may acquire in the future, such as, but not limited to, those pertaining to the environment, our drilling program, and the pricing of our future production;

our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees, or directors;

general economic, financial, legal, political, and business conditions and changes in domestic and foreign markets;

the risks related to the growth of our business, including our ability to successfully integrate, and recognize the anticipated benefits of, our recent acquisitions and any future acquisitions;

the effects of competition on our future business;

changes in U.S. energy, environmental, monetary and trade policies, including with respect to tariffs and other trade barriers, and any resulting trade tensions;

the risk that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) will delist our common stock if we cannot regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq; and

other factors detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” and in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors nor can we assess the effects of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

Our SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Note 1 Organization, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Description of Business

Prairie Operating Co. (individually or together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is an independent oil and gas company focused on the acquisition and development of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”). The Company’s assets and operations are strategically located in the oil region of rural Weld County, Colorado, within the Denver–Julesburg Basin (the “DJ Basin”).

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s assets included approximately 68,500 net leasehold acres in, on and under approximately 97,600 gross acres. In addition to growing production through its drilling operations, the Company intends to continue growing its business through accretive acquisitions, focusing on assets with the following criteria: (i) producing reserves, with opportunities to add accretive, undeveloped bolt–on acreage; (ii) ample, high rate–of–return inventory of drilling locations that can be developed with cash flow reinvestment; (iii) strong well–level economics; (iv) liquids–rich assets; and (v) accretive valuation. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions for a discussion of the Company’s recent acquisitions.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company owns 100% of the equity interest of Prairie Operating Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Prairie LLC”), which is considered a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as the Company is the sole managing member of Prairie LLC and has the power to direct the activities most significant to Prairie LLC’s economic performance, as well as the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits that are potentially significant.

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these condensed financial statements; however, the interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

These estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserve quantities and estimated future cash flows associated with proved reserves, depletion of proved developed oil and natural gas reserves, asset retirement obligations, accruals for the Company’s oil, natural gas, and NGL revenues and any potential liabilities, the valuation of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series F Preferred Stock”), Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants (as defined herein), and stock–based compensation, including performance based awards, the fair value of commodity derivative instruments, the realization of deferred tax assets, and any acquisition–related purchase price allocations.

Segment Information

The Company operates in one business segment: the acquisition, development, and production of crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs (the “Reportable Segment”), primarily in the DJ Basin. This is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is considered the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).

The Company’s Reportable Segment produces and sells crude oil, natural gas, and NGL volumes, which is reported as oil, natural gas, and NGL revenue on its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company’s revenue recognition policy and other accounting policies for its Reportable Segment are the same as its company–wide accounting policies discussed below in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Reportable Segment’s major customers during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are also discussed below in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Additionally, the Company did not have any intra–entity sales or transfers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025, and the Reportable Segment’s significant expenses are the same as those reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Additionally, the CODM does not receive additional information regarding expenses other than what is reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The CODM assesses the performance of the Reportable Segment and decide how to allocate resources based on the Company’s net income (loss) attributable to Prairie Operating Co., as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, net income (loss) attributable to Prairie Operating Co. on the condensed consolidated statements of operations is used to monitor budget versus actual results of the Reportable Segment and to benchmark against the Company’s competitors. The CODM’s measure of the Reportable Segment assets are reported as total assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company has provided a full discussion of its significant accounting policies, estimates, and judgments in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Company has not changed any of its significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, include revenue from the assets acquired from Bayswater beginning on March 26, 2025, the closing date of the Bayswater Acquisition (as defined below), through June 30, 2025.
(2)
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company realized negative natural gas sales revenue due to lower gross sales, driven by decreased pricing during the quarter, compared to gathering and processing fees.
(3)
The Company has reclassified certain gathering and processing fees presented net within natural gas and NGL sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to conform with the allocation used during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. This reallocation has no impact on the Company’s total revenues or net income (loss) attributable to Prairie Operating Co. as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs at the point that control of the produced crude oil, natural gas, and NGL volumes are transferred to the purchaser, which may differ depending on the applicable contractual terms.

The Company considers the transfer of control to have occurred when the production is delivered to the purchaser because at that time, the purchaser has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the crude oil, natural gas, or NGL production. Transfer of control dictates the presentation of the Company’s transportation and processing expenses within its condensed consolidated statements of operations. Transportation and processing expenses incurred prior to the transfer of control are recorded gross within transportation and processing expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Gathering, transportation, and processing expenses incurred subsequent to the transfer of control are recorded net within crude oil, natural gas, and NGL sales revenues.

Additionally, the Company has made an accounting election to exclude certain qualifying taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities from its reported revenues and is presenting those amounts as a component of operating expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amounts due from purchasers are reflected in oil, natural gas, and NGL accrued revenue on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and consists of uncollateralized accrued crude oil, natural gas, and NGL revenue due under normal trade terms, generally requiring payment within 30 days of production. The Company records the differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Additionally, the Company has determined that product returns or refunds are very rare and therefore, the Company accounts for them as they occur, and it generally provides no warranty.

Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized income tax expense of $19.8 million and an income tax benefit of $18.6 million, respectively, resulting in effective income tax rates of 15.4% and 29.9%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective income tax rates and the statutory blended rates for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 relates to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation awards and tax deduction limitations on the compensation of covered individuals. The Company did not recognize any income tax benefit or expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Note 3 Acquisitions

Bayswater Acquisition

On February 6, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Bayswater PSA”) with Bayswater Resources, LLC, Bayswater Fund III–A, LLC, Bayswater Fund III–B, LLC, Bayswater Fund IV–A, LP, Bayswater Fund IV–B, LP, Bayswater Fund IV–Annex, LP, and Bayswater Exploration & Production, LLC (collectively, “Bayswater”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire certain oil and natural gas assets (the “Bayswater Assets”) from Bayswater for a purchase price of $602.8 million, subject to certain closing price adjustments, payable in cash and 3,656,099 shares of Common Stock (the “Equity Consideration” and collectively, the “Bayswater Acquisition”).

The Company closed the Bayswater Acquisition on March 26, 2025 and paid Bayswater cash for the as–adjusted closing purchase price of approximately $482.5 million, $15.0 million of which was deposited in escrow pending the Company’s acquisition of additional working interest (the “Additional Working Interest Acquisition”), which Bayswater acquired and assigned to the Company on April 11, 2025, and issued the Equity Consideration to Bayswater (collectively, the “Bayswater Purchase Price”). The Company funded the cash portion of the Bayswater Purchase Price with cash on hand, the proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock in a public offering, the proceeds from the issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock, and borrowings under its Credit Facility (as defined herein). Refer to Note 12 – Mezzanine Equity for a discussion of the issuance of Series F Preferred Stock and Note 9 – Debt for a discussion of the Credit Facility. On June 6, 2025, the Company received an interim settlement payment from Bayswater of $30.7 million, $16.1 million of which related to the time period between the effective date of the Bayswater PSA and the closing of the Bayswater Acquisition, resulting in a decrease to the purchase price. The Company completed the final settlement with Bayswater on October 15, 2025, resulting in a final purchase price allocation of $475.6 million.

The Bayswater Acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic ("ASC") Topic 805, Accounting for Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The estimated fair value of the consideration paid by the Company and the allocation of that amount to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed, on a relative fair value basis, are recorded on the Company’s books as of March 26, 2025, the closing date of the Bayswater Acquisition. Additionally, costs directly related to the Bayswater Acquisition are capitalized as a component of the Bayswater Purchase Price. The allocation of the total Bayswater Purchase Price, on a relative fair value basis, is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date using currently available information.

The following table presents the allocation of the Bayswater Purchase Price, as adjusted for the closing of the Additional Working Interest Acquisition and the final settlement with Bayswater on October 15, 2025 to the net assets acquired on March 26, 2025, the closing date of the Bayswater Acquisition:

Table of Contents
The consideration is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, on a relative fair value basis, are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. The fair value of oil and gas properties and asset retirement obligations were measured using the discounted cash flow technique of valuation. Significant inputs to the valuation of oil and gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves, (ii) future operating and development costs, (iii) future commodity prices, (iv) future plugging and abandonment costs, (v) estimated future cash flows, and (vi) a market—based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates and are the most sensitive and subject to change.

Other 2025 Acquisitions

On July 2, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets from Edge Energy II LLC (“Edge Energy”) (the “Edge Acquisition”) for a total purchase price of $12.5 million, subject to certain closing price adjustments, payable in cash (the “Edge Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the Edge Acquisition, the Company acquired 47 operated and non-operated wells on approximately 11,300 net acres. The Company closed the Edge Acquisition on July 3, 2025 and funded the transaction by borrowing on its Credit Facility (as defined herein). The Company finalized the purchase accounting for the Edge Acquisition in September 2025.

In August 2025, the Company completed its third acquisition from Exok, Inc. (“Exok”), acquiring approximately 5,000 net acres for $1.6 million (the “Third Exok Acquisition”). Refer to Note 14 – Common Stock Options and Warrants for a discussion of the First Exok Acquisition (as defined herein) and Second Exok Acquisition (as defined herein).

In October 2025, the Company acquired certain assets from Summit Oil & Gas, LLC. (“Summit”) and Crown Exploration II, Ltd (“Crown”) for an aggregate purchase price of $2.3 million payable in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments (the “Summit and Crown Acquisitions”). The Summit and Crown Acquisitions included the acquisition of five operated wells on approximately 3,400 net acres.

Note 4 Derivative Instruments

The Company utilizes commodity derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to crude oil, natural gas, and NGL price volatility for a portion of its estimated production from its proved, developed, producing oil and natural gas properties. As of June 30, 2026, the Company only had commodity swap contracts outstanding, which guarantee a fixed price on contracted volumes over specified time periods. However, in the future, the Company may utilize other types of derivative instruments including call and purchased options, put spreads, collars, and three-way collars. All of the Company’s commodity derivative counterparties are large financial institutions with investment-grade credit ratings. As such, the Company believes it does not have any significant credit risk associated with its counterparties and does not currently anticipate any non-performance from its counterparties.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had the following outstanding crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts in place, which settle monthly and are indexed to NYMEX West Texas Intermediate, NYMEX Henry Hub, and Mount Belvieu OPIS, respectively:

The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments at fair value as assets or liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has not designated any of its derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes; therefore, it presents aggregate net gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of its outstanding derivatives and aggregate net gains or losses resulting from the settlement of derivative instruments during the period as gain or loss on derivatives, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company typically has numerous hedge positions that span several time periods and often result in both fair value derivative asset and liability positions held with that counterparty. The Company has elected to net its derivative instrument fair values executed with the same counterparty, pursuant to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements, which provide for the net settlement over the term of the contract and in the event of the default or termination of the contract.

Note 5 Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value and measured on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Per ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market–based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The GAAP fair value valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three levels depending on the observability of the inputs used in determining fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 valuations – Consist of observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date.
Level 2 valuations – Consist of observable market–based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. These are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3 valuations – Consist of unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The classification of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement of an asset or liability requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value asset or liability and its placement within the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value because of their short–term nature. Additionally, the carrying value of the Company’s reserve–based credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citi”) (the “Credit Facility”) approximates fair value as it is subject to short–term floating interest rates that reflect market rates available to the Company at the time of borrowing.

Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables summarize the Company’s assets and liabilities which were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the periods presented and their classification within the fair value hierarchy:

Commodity derivative contracts. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are measured on a recurring basis using a discounted cash flow model which considers various inputs such as quoted forward commodity prices, discount rates, and current market and contractual prices and terms for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant data. These significant inputs are observable in the current market or can be corroborated by observable active market data and are therefore considered Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative contracts was a liability of $31.7 million, of which $17.0 million was considered a current liability. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative contracts was an asset of $53.4 million, $28.8 million of which was considered a current asset.

The Company has several financial instruments which were evaluated for embedded derivatives and bifurcation in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) at the time of issuance. As a result, the Company reflects these financial instrument liabilities at their fair value on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and reflects the changes in the fair values of the liabilities as gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table presents the changes in the Company’s financial instruments presented at fair value for the periods indicated:

Subordinated Note Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Note (defined herein), the Company issued to the Noteholders (defined herein) warrants (the “Subordinated Note Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,141,552 shares of Common Stock, vesting in tranches based on the date of repayment of the Subordinated Note. The Company has determined that the Subordinated Note Warrants should be accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recorded the Subordinated Note Warrants at fair value and remeasures the fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

The Company engaged a third–party valuation expert to assist in preparing the fair value of the Subordinated Note Warrants as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These estimates were derived using a Monte Carlo simulation model and the significant inputs listed below, which are based on unobservable market data and are therefore considered Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Series F Preferred Stock. On March 24, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Series F Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an investor (the “Series F Preferred Stockholder”), pursuant to which the Series F Preferred Stockholder agreed to purchase for an aggregate of $148.3 million (i) 148,250 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”), convertible into shares of Common Stock and (ii) upon the one–year anniversary of the issue date of the Series F Preferred Stock, which was subsequently extended to August 7, 2026 and further extended to August 31, 2026 (“Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date”), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants”) (collectively, the “Series F Preferred Offering”). Refer to Note 18 – Subsequent Events for a discussion of the extensions of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date which occurred subsequent to June 30, 2026. On March 26, 2025, the Series F Preferred Stock Offering closed, and the Company issued the Series F Preferred Stock to the Series F Preferred Stockholder.

The Company has determined that the Series F Preferred Stock should be classified as mezzanine equity because it is currently redeemable at the Series F Preferred Stockholder’s option. Additionally, the Company determined that certain features of the Series F Preferred Stock require bifurcation and separate accounting as embedded derivatives. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815, the Company has recorded the embedded derivatives associated with the Series F Preferred Stock at fair value and remeasures the fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

The Company engaged a third-party valuation expert to assist in preparing the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives as of the dates below. These estimates were derived using a Monte Carlo simulation model and the significant inputs listed below, which are based on unobservable market data and are therefore considered Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

On April 8, 2026, the Company and the Series F Preferred Stockholder entered into a letter agreement (the “First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company repurchased 13,727 shares of Series F Preferred Stock from the Series F Preferred Stockholder for an aggregate purchase price of $19.0 million payable in cash, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series F Preferred Stock through and including the date upon which such shares of Series F Preferred Stock were repurchased (which accrued and unpaid dividends were paid in the form of the Company’s Common Stock issued to the Series F Preferred Stockholder in an amount equal to all such accrued but unpaid dividends, divided by the Market Stock Payment Price (as defined in the Prairie Operating Co. Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation”) as of the date of the First Series F Letter Agreement, rounded up to the next whole share) (the “Series F Preferred Stock Repurchase Price”).

Additionally, the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement amended the definition of the Market Stock Payment Price used in calculating the Alterative Conversion Rate to be based upon the average of the two lowest daily volume-weighted average per share trading prices of the Company’s Common Stock during any five consecutive trading-day period that occurred within the 35 trading-day period ending on the date of such calculation (in lieu of the five trading-day period previously set forth in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation). The parties further agreed that the Cash Sweep Amount set forth in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation shall mean (a) with respect to any Cash Sweep Financing (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation), 50% of the net proceeds from such financing and (b) with respect to any Distributable Free Cash Flow Action (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation), 25% of the amount of such dividend, distribution, prepayment, or investment, as applicable. The Company may request to settle the Cash Sweep Amount in Common Shares.

The partial redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock and the amendments to the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation increased the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivative to $18.6 million, resulting in a deemed dividend of $7.4 million, which is presented in the remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives was $12.3 million compared to $15.9 million as of December 31, 2025, which is presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a liability. Unrelated to the redemption, the Company recognized $10.9 million and $11.0 million as changes in fair value presented as components of gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on its consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $18.1 million and $18.2 million, respectively, as changes in fair value presented as components of gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on its consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 12 – Mezzanine Equity for a further discussion of the Series F Preferred Stock.

Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants. As discussed above, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Series F Preferred Stockholder will receive warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.

The Company has determined that the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock because the potential number of Common Stock shares to be issued upon the exercise of such warrants will vary based on the amount of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date. As such, the Company has determined that the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants should be accounted for as liabilities pursuant to ASC 480. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recorded the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants at fair value and remeasures the fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

On March 25, 2026, the Company and the Series F Preferred Stockholder entered into an Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Form of Anniversary Warrant (the “First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment”), which, among other things, extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from March 26, 2026 to April 7, 2026. These amendments decreased the fair value of the Series F Preferred Anniversary Warrants to $35.5 million, resulting in a deemed dividend of $51.3 million, which is presented in the remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

On April 6, 2026, the Company and the Series F Preferred Stockholder entered into an Amendment and Restatement of Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement and Form of Anniversary Warrant (the “Second Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment”). Among other things, the Second Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment amended and restated the First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment to extend the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from April 7, 2026 to April 9, 2026.

On April 8, 2026, the Company entered the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties further extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from April 9, 2026 to July 8, 2026 and reduced the number of Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from (1) a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 125% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on the original issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock (the “Original Issuance Date”), divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume–weighted average per share trading prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to Original Issuance Date, to (2) a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 75% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on July 8, 2026, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume–weighted average per share trading prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date.

On June 10, 2026, the Company and the Series F Preferred Stockholder entered into another letter agreement (the “Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, among other things, the parties further extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to August 7, 2026, which date was subsequently extended to August 31, 2026 (refer to Note 18 – Subsequent Events for a discussion of the extensions of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date which occurred subsequent to June 30, 2026), and reduced the number of Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 65% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume-weighted average per share trading prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date. These modifications further decreased the fair value of the Series F Preferred Anniversary Warrants to $11.7 million, resulting in a change of fair value of $2.2 million, which is presented as a component of gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants was $9.5 million compared to $90.1 million as of December 31, 2025, which is presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as a liability. Unrelated to the redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock and modification of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants, the Company recognized $2.2 million and $27.1 million as changes in fair value presented as components of gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on its consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a $21.6 million change in fair value as a component of gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on its consolidated statements of operations.

Refer to Note 12 – Mezzanine Equity and Note 14 – Common Stock Options and Warrants for a further discussion of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants.

Incremental Share Right Liability. Pursuant to the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, with respect to the remaining shares of the Series F Preferred Stock held by the Series F Preferred Stockholder, to allow the Series F Preferred Stockholder to convert such shares into an incremental amount of additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed 21,156,339 shares of Common Stock and otherwise pursuant to and in accordance with the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation (the “Incremental Share Rights”). The Incremental Share Rights can be converted at any time and at any price. As such, the Company has determined that the Incremental Share Rights should be accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 480. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recorded the Incremental Share Rights at fair value and will remeasure the fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

The Company used the closing share price on the date of measurement to determine the fair value of the Incremental Share Rights liability, which is an observable input reflecting unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date and is therefore considered a Level 1 input within the fair value hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Incremental Share Rights was $15.3 million, which is presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as a liability, compared to the issuance fair value of $17.8 million. The Company recognized the $2.5 million change as a component of gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on its consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non–Recurring Basis

Acquisition assets and liabilities. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition are measured on a non–recurring basis on the acquisition date. If the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are current and short–term in nature, the Company uses their approximate carrying values as their fair values, which is considered a Level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy. If the assets acquired are not short–term in nature, then the fair value is determined using the estimated replacement values of the same or similar assets and, as such, are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions for a further discussion of the Company’s acquisitions.

As of June 30, 2026, the Credit Facility provided for a borrowing base of $475.0 million and an aggregate elected commitment of $475.0 million and includes a $47.5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The borrowing base is subject to quarterly redeterminations based upon the value of the Company’s oil and gas properties as determined in a reserve report immediately preceding April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st of each year, subject to certain interim redeterminations.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $436.0 million and $366.0 million, respectively, of revolving borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, resulting in $39.0 million and $109.0 million, respectively, of availability for future borrowings and letters of credit. Borrowing under the Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company’s election, based upon the Term SOFR or Alternate Base Rate (each as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement), as applicable, plus an additional margin which is based on the percentage of the borrowing base being utilized, ranging from 2.75% to 3.75% per annum for Term SOFR loans (plus a 0.10% per annum adjustment) and 1.75% to 2.75% for Alternate Base Rate loans. There is also a commitment fee on the undrawn commitments, ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% based on the percentage of the borrowing base being utilized. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $7.7 million and $14.9 million, respectively, of interest expense related to borrowings on its Credit Facility. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $8.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of interest expense related to the Credit Facility. Additionally, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $12.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with its Credit Facility, which are presented as debt issuance costs, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized to interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight–line basis over the life of the Credit Facility. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company amortized $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of deferred financing costs into interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company amortized $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of deferred financing costs into interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Credit Facility requires the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to always hedge not less than 80% of projected production from their proved developed producing reserves and certain wells as of December 31, 2025 through March 31, 2028. Additionally, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Facility, which require the Company to maintain, for each fiscal quarter, a Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement) of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and a Current Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement) of at least 1.00 to 1.00. The Credit Facility also includes conditional equity cure rights that will enable the Company to cure certain breaches of these financial maintenance covenants. In August 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Facility Agreement which, among other things, modifies the Current Ratio covenant requirement to at least 0.50 to 1.00 for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Additionally, the amendment includes a new covenant which requires the Company’s net monthly production to not fall below an average number specified in the amendment, which will be measured on a rolling three-month average, beginning September 30, 2026. After giving effect to the amendment, the Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2026.

The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Prairie Operating Co. and its guarantor subsidiaries are not materially different than the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Subordinated Promissory Note

On September 30, 2024 (the “Subordinated Note Effective Date”), the Company entered into a subordinated promissory note (the “Subordinated Note”) with First Idea Ventures LLC and The Hideaway Entertainment LLC (together, the “Noteholders”), in a principal amount of $5.0 million, which has a maturity of March 17, 2027. Refer to Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for a further discussion of the Subordinated Note and the Noteholders. The Subordinated Note had an interest rate of 10.00% and the Noteholders were entitled to a minimum return on capital of up to 2.0x upon the repayment, prepayment or acceleration of the obligations, or the occurrence of certain other triggering events under the Subordinated Note. The Subordinated Note is guaranteed by Prairie LLC pursuant to a global guaranty agreement entered into by Prairie LLC in favor of the Noteholders on the Subordinated Note Effective Date. The Subordinated Note is subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash to any future senior secured revolving credit facility of the Company entered into after the Subordinated Note Effective Date. On December 16, 2024, the Company and the Noteholders agreed to amend and restate the Subordinated Note (the “Amended and Restated Subordinated Note Agreement”), to, among other things, modify certain provisions to better align with the Credit Facility Agreement. In December 2024, and in conjunction with entering into the Credit Facility, the Company made a $1.8 million payment on the Subordinated Note, resulting in a principal balance of $3.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

On March 26, 2025, in connection with the closing and financing of the Bayswater Acquisition, the Company paid $3.2 million of the outstanding balance under the Subordinated Note. Pursuant to the terms of the payoff letter, the Company and the Noteholders agreed that the remaining $1.5 million outstanding Subordinated Note balance would be converted to principal, will accrue interest at a rate of 15% of per annum, and all principal and other amounts owed (other than interest) pursuant to the Subordinated Note will not be redeemable for any reason while any of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock remains outstanding.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

On September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with Yorkville, whereby, subject to certain conditions, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville shares up to $40.0 million shares of Common Stock, at any time and in the amount as specified in the Company’s request (“Advance Notice”), during the commitment period commencing on September 30, 2024 and terminating on September 30, 2026. To date, the Company has not requested an Advance Notice under the SEPA.

The Company determined that the SEPA represents a derivative instrument pursuant to ASC 815, which should be recorded at fair value at inception and remeasured at fair value each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in earnings. Pursuant to the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, the Company may only request an Advance Notice on the SEPA if the Series F Preferred Stock is fully converted or redeemed. As such, the Company has determined that the fair value of the SEPA as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is $0 million.

Senior Convertible Note

On September 30, 2024, Yorkville advanced $15.0 million (the “Pre–Paid Advance”) to the Company, and the Company issued the Senior Convertible Note to Yorkville, with an interest rate of 8.00% and a maturity date of September 30, 2025. The Company’s obligations with respect to the Pre–Paid Advance and under the Senior Convertible Note were guaranteed by Prairie LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, and Prairie Operating Holding Co., LLC (“Prairie Holdco”), a subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to a global guaranty agreement entered into by Prairie LLC and Prairie Holdco in favor of Yorkville on September 30, 2024. Yorkville had the option to convert the Pre–Paid Advance into shares of Common Stock at any time at the Conversion Price (as defined in the SEPA). The Company also had the option to, at any time, redeem all or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Senior Convertible Note at 105% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

At the time of issuance, the Company determined that certain features of the Senior Convertible Note required bifurcation and separate accounting as embedded derivatives. As such, the Company elected the fair value option to account for the Senior Convertible Note; therefore, in accordance with ASC 815, the Company recorded the Senior Convertible Note at fair value and remeasured the fair value at each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

In December 2024, the Company made a $3.7 million payment on the Senior Convertible Note and in the first quarter of 2025, Yorkville converted the remaining $11.3 million of the Senior Convertible Note in exchange for 2.1 million shares of Common Stock. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no outstanding balance on the Senior Convertible Note.

Note 10 Leases

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at its inception or as a result of an acquisition and makes certain assumptions and judgments when determining its right–of–use assets and lease liabilities. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of the Company’s leases are operating leases. The Company capitalizes its operating right–of–use assets and corresponding lease liabilities separately on its condensed consolidated balance sheets, using the present value of the remaining lease payments over the determined lease term applying the implicit rate of the lease.

Oil Transportation Agreement

Following the closing of the Bayswater Acquisition in March 2025, the Company is a party to a Crude Oil Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Oil Transportation Agreement”) with an oil pipeline company, under which all of the oil produced from certain of the leases purchased in the Bayswater Acquisition will be gathered and transported by the oil pipeline company. Additionally, the Oil Transportation Agreement, as amended in 2023, requires a minimum volume of 15.85 million barrels of oil from the covered leases to be delivered from September 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, 1.2 MBbls of oil remained to be delivered and under-delivered volumes will incur a fee ranging from $1.79 per Bbl to $1.85 per Bbl. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred under–delivered volume fees totaling $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, which are included in transportation and processing expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not incur any fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the Company estimates its maximum future commitment under the Oil Transportation Agreement to be $0.2 million for July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The Company will recognize these costs in the period in which the amounts are deemed probable and estimable.

Gas Gathering Agreement

One of the Company’s gas gathering and processing agreements acquired in the Bayswater Acquisition requires a monthly minimum payment by the Company, which continues through September 2029. This monthly minimum payment is intended to reimburse the costs incurred by the counterparty to connect the gathering facility to the covered area. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized guaranteed payments of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which are included in lease operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not incur any fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

The Company’s estimated maximum future commitment under this gas gathering and processing agreement as of June 30, 2026 is presented below:

Legal and Litigation

The Company is subject to various litigation, claims, and proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes a liability for such loss contingencies when it believes it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If some amount within a range of loss appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Company accrues that amount. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount the Company accrues the minimum amount in the range. The outcomes of any such currently pending matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $0.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of non–recurring litigation and severance settlement expenses, which are reflected as general and administrative expenses on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not recognize any non–recurring litigation and severance settlement expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Issuance of Series F Preferred Stock

On March 24, 2025, the Company entered into the Series F Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement with the Series F Preferred Stockholder, which was subsequently amended as described herein. Pursuant to the Series F Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Series F Preferred Stockholder agreed to purchase for an aggregate of $148.3 million (i) 148,250 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, with a Stated Value of $1,000 per share, convertible into shares of Common Stock and (ii) upon the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants. The Series F Preferred Offering closed on March 26, 2025, and the Company received approximately $136.1 million of net proceeds, after deducting advisor fees and offering expenses. The Company used the proceeds from the Series F Preferred Offering to fund a portion of the Bayswater Acquisition, which also closed on March 26, 2025.

The Company has determined that the Series F Preferred Stock should be classified as mezzanine equity because it is currently redeemable at the Series F Preferred Stockholder’s option. Additionally, the Company determined that certain features of the Series F Preferred Stock require bifurcation and separate accounting as embedded derivatives. On the date of issuance, in accordance with ASC 815, the Company recorded a liability of $25.5 million for the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives and a liability of $22.1 million for the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants. Refer to Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements for a further discussion of the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives and Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants. As a result, on March 26, 2025, the Company recognized the Series F Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity based on its relative fair value of $92.6 million, after allocating $47.6 million of the proceeds to the embedded derivative features and the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants. Additionally, the Company recorded the issuance costs of $12.2 million as a reduction to the allocated proceeds.

Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation

The Series F Preferred Stockholder is entitled to receive, on a cumulative basis, whether or not authorized or declared, dividends on each share of Series F Preferred Stock at a rate per annum equal to 12%, on the amount equal to the sum of (a) the Stated Value plus (b) all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Series F Preferred Stock (including dividends accrued and unpaid on previously unpaid dividends) (the “Series F Preferred Stock Stated Dividend Rate”). Dividends are payable to the Series F Preferred Stockholder in cash on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 of each calendar year, which began on June 1, 2025. Alternatively, pursuant to the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, the Company may elect to pay the dividends entirely or partially in shares of Common Stock. Additionally, the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation provides that six months after the anniversary date of the maturity of the Company’s Credit Facility the Series F Preferred Stock Stated Dividend Rate will increase to 25%. The Company elected to pay the March 1, 2026 and June 1, 2026 dividends by issuing the Series F Preferred Stockholder 2,352,000 and 3,276,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Additionally, on April 8, 2026, the Company redeemed a portion of the Series F Preferred Stock, discussed further below, and issued the Series F Preferred Stockholder 109,816 shares of Common Stock related to dividends.

The Series F Preferred Stockholder may convert all or a portion of its shares of Series F Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at any time and from time to time. The initial conversion rate for the Series F Preferred Stock is 202.0202 shares of Common Stock per share of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Standard Conversion”), which is subject to certain adjustments as described in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation. The Series F Preferred Stockholder may also convert all or a portion of its shares of Series F Preferred Stock using an Alternative Conversion Rate (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, as supplemented by the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement) in lieu of the Standard Conversion, subject to an Alternative Conversion Cap (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation) for each quarter. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, 6,273 and 29,323 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, respectively, were converted into 4,352,402 and 22,454,702 shares of Common Stock, respectively, using the Alternative Conversion.

Subject to the terms, conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, the Company will have the right to redeem all of the then–outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock for a cash redemption price per share of Series F Preferred Stock equal to the Company Redemption Price (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation). If a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation) occurs, the Series F Preferred Stockholder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock for a cash purchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Redemption Price (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation).

With respect to the Standard Conversion or a redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series F Preferred Stockholder will be entitled to receive an additional payment (the “Additional Payment”) in an amount equal to $19.9 million multiplied by the Stated Value of each share of converted or redeemed Series F Preferred Stock divided by the aggregate Stated Value of all shares of Series F Preferred Stock issued in the Series F Preferred Offering. The Company expects any Additional Payments to be paid in shares of Common Stock.

Further, the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation also contains certain financial covenants which require the Company to maintain, for each fiscal quarter a Net Leverage Ratio of no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 and a Current Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00. The breach of these covenants results in a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation). The Company is required to submit the current fiscal quarter covenant calculations to the Series F Preferred Stockholder the month after its financial statements are available for issuance and the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation does not require the Company to notify the Series F Preferred Stockholder of any non-compliance prior to the issuance of the compliance certificate. Additionally, the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation allows for the Triggering Event to be waived but does not specify a cure period. As discussed in Note 18 – Subsequent Events, on August 14, 2026, the Series F Preferred Stockholder waived any breach of the Current Ratio covenant from qualifying as a Triggering Event through January 1, 2027.

If a Triggering Event occurs the Series F Preferred Stockholder is entitled to receive, on a cumulative basis, whether or not authorized or declared and whether or not the Company has assets legally available therefor, dividends (in addition to the Series F Preferred Stock Stated Dividend Rate) on each share of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Trigger Dividends”) at a rate per annum equal to 22% less the current Series F Preferred Stock Stated Dividend Rate on the amount equal to the sum of (a) the Stated Value plus (b) all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Series F Preferred Stock. The Trigger Dividends will accrue daily and compound quarterly from, and including, the date of such Triggering Event, but excluding, the date such Triggering Event is cured and all outstanding Trigger Dividends have been paid. Pursuant to the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, the Company has the option to pay the Trigger Dividends in shares of Common Stock.

Series F Preferred Stock Amendments and Letter Agreements

On March 25, 2026, the Company entered into the First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment, which, among other things, extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from March 26, 2026 to April 7, 2026. Pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment, the Company agreed to pay the Series F Preferred Stockholder a $3.0 million extension fee, which was waived by the Series F Preferred Stockholder on April 8, 2026.

Additionally, pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, the Company issued the Series F Preferred Stockholder a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “First Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants”), and agreed that, if on July 8, 2026, which date was subsequently extended to August 7, 2026 and then further extended to August 31, 2026 (refer to Note 18 – Subsequent Events for a discussion of the extensions of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date which occurred subsequent to June 30, 2026), for any reason, the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants have not been issued to the Series F Preferred Stockholder, the Company will issue a warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Second Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants”) (collectively, with the First Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants, the “Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants”). Further, pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, upon the Series F Preferred Stockholder’s receipt of the Series F Preferred Stock Repurchase Price and the issuance of the First Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants, the Series F Preferred Stockholder waived the Company’s obligation to pay the $3.0 million extension fee.

Additionally, the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement amended the definition of the Market Stock Payment Price used in calculating the Alterative Conversion Rate to be based upon the average of the two lowest daily volume-weighted average per share trading prices of the Company’s Common Stock during any five consecutive trading-day period that occurred within the 35 trading-day period ending on the date of such calculation (in lieu of the five trading-day period previously set forth in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation). The parties further agreed that the Cash Sweep Amount set forth in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation shall mean (a) with respect to any Cash Sweep Financing (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation), 50% of the net proceeds from such financing and (b) with respect to any Distributable Free Cash Flow Action (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation), 25% of the amount of such dividend, distribution, prepayment, or investment, as applicable. The Company may request to settle the Cash Sweep Amount in Common Shares.

On June 10, 2026, the Company entered into the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, among other things, the parties further extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to August 7, 2026, which date was subsequently extended to August 31, 2026 (refer to Note 18 – Subsequent Events for a discussion of the extensions of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date which occurred subsequent to June 30, 2026), and reduced the number of Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 65% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume-weighted average per share trading prices of the Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date.

First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement

The Company accounted for the changes set forth in the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement as a modification. Additionally, the Company determined that the partial redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement should be aggregated and treated as a single transaction with the modification. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 480, the Company adjusted the Series F Preferred Stock to reflect its maximum redemption value immediately prior to and following the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, resulting in a loss on remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock of $46.9 million. To account for the partial redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Company increased the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivative, resulting in a deemed dividend of $7.4 million, and decreased the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant liability, resulting in a deemed dividend of $51.3 million, both of which are presented as components of the remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Recurring Remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2026, in accordance with ASC 480, the Company adjusted the Series F Preferred Stock to reflect its maximum redemption value of $43.2 million, resulting in a remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock of $91.0 million and $76.8 million, which is presented in the remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Additionally, at each conversion, the Company reduces the balance of the Series F Preferred Stock by the carrying value of the converted shares, which, as of June 30, 2026, has resulted in a decrease of $3.7 million from December 31, 2025.

On May 3, 2023, the Company authorized 50,000 shares of Series D preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 and a stated value of $1,000 per share, which are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”). No dividends are required to be paid other than those in the same form as dividends actually paid on Common Stock other than any adjustments related to stock dividends or stock splits.

Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the stated value of such share of $1,000 by $5.00, subject to adjustment by certain events as defined in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D Preferred Stock. If the average price of the Company’s Common Stock, as defined and calculated, for any 22 trading-days during a 30 consecutive trading-day period exceeds $8.50, subject to adjustment, the Company can require conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock into Common Stock subject to certain conditions including stock trading volumes and existence of an effective registration statement for such converted shares.

In May 2023, the Company received an aggregate of $17.4 million in proceeds from a number of investors (the “Series D PIPE Investors”) who were issued 17,376 shares of Series D Preferred Stock along with Series A warrants (“Series D A Warrants”) to purchase 3,475,250 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Series B warrants (“Series D B Warrants” and together with the Series D A Warrants, the “Series D PIPE Warrants”) to purchase 3,475,250 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Series D PIPE”). Refer to Note 14 – Common Stock Options and Warrants for a further description of the Series D PIPE Warrants.

In January 2025, Narrogal Nominees Pty Ltd ATF Gregory K O’Neill Family Trust (the “O’Neill Trust”) converted 8,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock into 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock. As a result, the O’Neill Trust no longer holds any Series D Preferred Stock. In April 2026, certain holders of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock converted 5,938 shares of Series D Preferred Stock into 3,276,147 shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters a 30–day option to purchase up to an additional 1,283,333 shares of Common Stock on the same terms as above (the “Over–Allotment Option”).

Additionally, the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, as amended by the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, includes a Cash Sweep provision, which requires the Company to provide the Series F Preferred Stockholder with 50% of any net proceeds raised by financing. The Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation allows for the Cash Sweep Amount to be settled in Common Stock shares.

Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants

Pursuant to the Series F Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement with the Series F Preferred Stockholder, as amended, if any shares of Series F Preferred Stock are outstanding on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, and the other conditions set forth in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation have been satisfied, the Company will issue the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to the Series F Preferred Stockholder. The Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants, as amended, allow the Series F Preferred Stockholder to purchase a number of the Company’s Common Stock shares equal to the quotient of (i) 65% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume-weighted average per share trading prices of the Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date.

If issued, the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants would be immediately exercisable and would expire on the fifth anniversary of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date. The Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants would have an initial exercise price per share equal to 110% of the average of the 10 daily per share volume–weighted average prices of the Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date. The exercise price and number of Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Common Stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to the Company’s stockholders.

Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants Amendments and Letter Agreements. On March 25, 2026, the Company entered into the First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment, which, among other things, extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from March 26, 2026 to April 7, 2026. Pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment, the Company agreed to pay the Series F Preferred Stockholder a $3.0 million extension fee, which was waived by the Series F Preferred Stockholder on April 8, 2026.

On April 6, 2026, the Company entered into the Second Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment, which among other things, amended and restated the First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment to extend the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from April 7, 2026 to April 9, 2026.

On April 8, 2026, the Company entered into the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company repurchased 13,727 shares of Series F Preferred Stock from the Series F Preferred Stockholder for the Series F Preferred Stock Repurchase Price, the cash portion of which was $19.0 million. Additionally, pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, the Company issued the Series F Preferred Stockholder the Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants. Further, pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, upon the Series F Preferred Stockholder’s receipt of the Series F Preferred Stock Repurchase Price and the issuance of the First Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants, the Series F Preferred Stockholder waived the Company’s obligation to pay the $3.0 million extension fee. The Series F Preferred Stockholder exercised the First Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants on June 5, 2026, resulting in the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

Table of Contents
Finally, the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement also extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from April 9, 2026 to July 8, 2026 and reduced the number of Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from (1) a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 125% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume–weighted average per share trading prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, to (2) a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 75% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on July 8, 2026, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume–weighted average per share trading prices of the Company’s Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date.

On June 10, 2026, the Company entered into the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, among other things, the parties further extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to August 7, 2026, which date was subsequently extended to August 31, 2026 (refer to Note 18 – Subsequent Events for a discussion of the extensions of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date which occurred subsequent to June 30, 2026), and reduced the number of Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 65% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume-weighted average per share trading prices of the Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date.

Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants Fair Value. The Company has determined that the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock because the potential number of Common Stock shares to be issued upon the exercise of such warrants will vary based on the amount of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date. As such, the Company has determined that the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants should be accounted for as liabilities pursuant to ASC 480. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has recorded the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants at fair value and remeasures the fair value each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants was $9.5 million compared to $90.1 million as of December 31, 2025, which is presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as a liability.

The Company determined that the changes to the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation set forth in the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement should be accounted for as modification. Additionally, the Company concluded that the partial redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement should be aggregated and treated as a single transaction with the modification. These amendments decreased the fair value of the Series F Preferred Anniversary Warrants to $35.5 million, resulting in a deemed dividend of $51.3 million, which is presented in the remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

The Company also determined that the changes to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants set forth in the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement should be accounted for as modification. These modifications further decreased the fair value of the Series F Preferred Anniversary Warrants to $11.7 million, resulting in a change of fair value of $2.2 million, which is presented as a component of gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Unrelated to the redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock and modification of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants, the Company recognized $2.2 million and $27.1 million as changes in fair value presented as components of gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on its consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a $21.6 million change in fair value as a component of gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on its consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements for a further discussion of the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants.

Note 15 Long–Term Incentive Compensation

Incentive Award Plan

The Company’s long–term incentive plan for employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers (as amended and restated effective as of September 5, 2024, as further amended effective June 4, 2025, and as may be further amended from time to time, the “LTIP”) provides for the grant of all or any of the following types of equity–based awards: (i) incentive stock options qualified as such under U.S. federal income tax laws; (ii) stock options that do not qualify as incentive stock options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock awards; (v) restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which may also include performance stock awards (“PSUs”); (vi) stock awards; (vii) dividend equivalents; (viii) other stock–based awards; (ix) cash awards; and (x) substitute awards. As of June 30, 2026, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the LTIP 15,000,000. As of June 30, 2026, 2,268,423 shares are available for grant under the LTIP.

Stock–Based Compensation

The Company’s stock–based compensation awards are classified as either equity awards or liability awards in accordance with GAAP. The fair value of an equity–classified award is determined at the grant date and is amortized to general and administrative expense on a graded attribution basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock–based compensation awards as they occur. The fair value of a liability–classified award is determined on a quarterly basis beginning at the grant date until final vesting. Changes in the fair value of liability–classified awards are recorded to general and administrative expense over the vesting period of the award.

RSUs and PSUs granted under the LTIP can immediately vest (A) upon a termination due to (i) death, (ii) disability, or (iii) retirement, in the case of employee awards, or (B) in connection with a change in control; provided that for employee RSU or PSU awards, such accelerated vesting upon a change in control only applies to the extent no provision is made in connection with a change in control for the assumption of awards previously granted or there is no substitution of such awards for new awards. To the extent an employee’s RSU or PSU award is assumed or substituted in connection with the change in control, if a participant is terminated by the Company without “cause” or the employee terminates for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable award agreement), then each RSU or PSU award will become fully vested.

Equity–Classified Restricted Stock Units

The Company has granted RSUs to employees which primarily vest ratably over a three-year period beginning on the date the award is granted, subject to the employees’ continued service through each applicable vesting date. The Company has also granted RSUs to directors and advisors which primarily vest one year following the grant date, subject to the director’s or advisor’s continued service through the vesting date. The fair values of these RSU awards are based on the price of the Company’s Common Stock as of each relevant grant date.

The following table presents the Company’s equity–classified RSU activity for six months ended June 30, 2026:

Equity–Classified Performance Stock Units

The Company has granted PSUs to certain of its employees which vest and become earned upon the achievement of certain performance goals based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return as compared to the performance peer group during the performance period, in each case, at the end of a three-year performance period, and generally subject to the employees continued service throughout the performance period. Per the PSU agreements, these awards can be settled in either stock or cash, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”); however, unless the Committee determines otherwise, these PSUs will be settled in stock; therefore, the Company classified these PSUs as equity awards. The number of Common Stock shares that a holder of the PSUs earns at the end of the performance period may range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, as determined by the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a group of peers over the performance period, which represents a market condition per ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. At the time of issuance, the Company engaged a third-party valuation expert to assist in preparing the fair value of these PSUs awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model as of the grant date.

On June 23, 2026, the Committee approved amendments to the PSUs granted in August 2025, which have a performance period ending December 31, 2027. The Company engaged a third-party valuation expert to assist in determining the fair value of the amended PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation model. As a result of this amendment, the Company will incur an additional $1.0 million in stock–based compensation costs until the end of the performance period.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $1.9 million $1.7 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation costs related to its equity–classified PSUs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized stock–based compensation costs of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to its equity–classified PSUs.

As of June 30, 2026, there was $9.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company’s unvested equity–classified PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted–average period of 1.55 years.

Liability–Classified Restricted Stock Units

The Company also granted RSUs to certain of its directors, which primarily vest one year following the grant date, subject to the director’s continued service through the applicable vesting date. Such RSUs are payable 60% in Common Stock and 40% in either cash or Common Stock (or a combination thereof), as determined by the Committee. The Company has accounted for the portion of the awards that can be settled in cash as liability–classified awards and accordingly records the changes in the market value of the instruments to general and administrative expense over the vesting period of the award.

During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million of stock–based compensation costs related to its liability–classified RSUs.

As of June 30, 2026, all of the Company’s liability–classified RSUs had vested, as such, there were no unrecognized compensation expense costs.

Note 16 – Earnings Per Share

The Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and unvested RSUs are considered participating securities, as such, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the two–class method, which proportionally allocates net income (loss) attributable to Prairie Operating Co. common stockholders between the Common Stock and the participating securities on an “as–converted” basis. However, the Series D Preferred Stock and RSU holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses, therefore, in periods of a net loss, no portion of such losses are allocated to the participating securities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and the related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results or Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements” at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise indicated or required by the context, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms refer to Prairie Operating Co.

Overview

We are an independent oil and gas company focused on the acquisition and development of crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs. Our assets and operations are strategically located in the oil region of rural Weld County, Colorado, within the DJ Basin. We believe that the DJ Basin is one of the premier resource plays in the U.S., as Weld County boasts some of the lowest break-even prices in the U.S., and has a long production history which has proven and consistent results. The productivity of this resource is demonstrated by the integral role that Weld County holds in Colorado’s energy economy, having produced approximately 85% of Colorado’s oil production to date.

As of June 30, 2026, our assets included approximately 68,500 net leasehold acres in, on and under approximately 97,600 gross acres. In addition to growing production through our drilling operations, we intend to continue growing our business through accretive acquisitions, focusing on assets with the following criteria: (i) producing reserves, with opportunities to add accretive, undeveloped bolt–on acreage; (ii) ample, high rate–of–return inventory of drilling locations that can be developed with cash flow reinvestment; (iii) strong well–level economics; (iv) liquids–rich assets; and (v) accretive valuation.

Recent Developments

Drilling and Completion Activities

Our 2026 capital expenditure guidance is $185.0 million to $195.0 million. As of June 30, 2026, cash expenditure for the development of oil and natural gas properties totaled $132.6 million, with an additional $12.4 million incurred in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Refer to Factors Affecting the Comparability of Financial Results – Capital Program below for a further discussion of our current capital program.

In December 2025, we moved our drilling rig to our Blehm/Schneider pad, which consists of 10 wells in Weld County. These wells came online in April 2026 with initial average two-stream gross production of 700 Boe/d.

We then moved the drilling rig to our Elder East and West pad, which consists of nine wells. Drilling at the Elder East and West pad was completed during the first quarter of 2026 and the wells came online in May 2026 with initial average two-stream gross production of 915 Boe/d.

In February, we began drilling at our Opal Coalbank pad, which consists of eight wells. Completion activities at the Opal Coalbank pad began in May 2026, and the wells came online towards the end of June 2026 with initial average two-stream gross production of 450 Boe/d.

After we completed drilling at our Opal Coalbank pad, we moved the drilling rig to our Burnett pad development in Weld County, which consists of four wells. Completion activities at the Burnett pad were finalized at the end of July 2026 and the well came online shortly after.

Following the Burnett pad, we moved the drilling rig to our Castor pad development in Weld County, which consists of 6 wells. Completion activities at the Castor pad are expected to be finalized mid-way through third quarter of 2026 and first production is expected during the third quarter of 2026.

Additionally, pursuant to the Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, we issued the First Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants to the Series F Preferred Stockholder, and agreed that, if on July 8, 2026, which date was subsequently extended to August 7, 2026 and further extended to August 31, 2026, for any reason, the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants have not been issued to the Series F Preferred Stockholder, we will issue the Series F Second Penny Warrants. Further, pursuant the Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, upon the Series F Preferred Stockholders receipt of the Series F Preferred Stock Repurchase Price and the issuance of the First Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants, the Series F Preferred Stockholder waived our obligation to pay the $3.0 million extension fee.

On June 10, 2026, we entered into the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement. Among other things, the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement further extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to August 7, 2026 and reduced the number of Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 65% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume-weighted average per share trading prices of the Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date. Additionally, we granted the Series F Preferred Stockholder the Incremental Share Rights.

On August 7, 2026, we entered into another the Third Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, which, among other things, extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant from August 7, 2026 to August 14, 2026. The Third Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement also amends the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement to extend the issuance date of the Second Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants from August 7, 2026 to August 14, 2026, so that if on August 14, 2026 (rather than August 7, 2026 as provided by the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement), for any reason, the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants are not issued to the Series F Preferred Stockholder, we will issue the Second Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants to the Series F Preferred Stockholder.

On August 14, 2026, we entered into the Fourth Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, which, among other things, extended the issuance date of Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from August 14, 2026 to August 31, 2026. The Fourth Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement also amends the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement and the Third Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement to extend the issuance date of the Second Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants from August 7, 2026 to August 14, 2026 and subsequently to August 31, 2026, so that if on August 31, 2026 (rather than August 7, 2026 and August 14, 2026 as provided by the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement and the Third Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement), for any reason, the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants are not issued to the Series F Preferred Stockholder, we will issue the Second Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants to the Series F Preferred Stockholder. Additionally, the Fourth Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement waives the breach of the Current Ratio covenant as a Triggering Event through January 1, 2027.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Financial Results

Commodity Prices

Since oil, natural gas, and NGL prices are the most significant factors impacting our results of operations, continued price variations can have a material impact on our financial results and capital expenditures. In an effort to reduce the impact of price volatility, and in compliance with requirements under our Credit Facility, we enter into derivative contracts to economically hedge a portion of our estimated production from our proved, developed, producing oil and natural gas properties against adverse fluctuations in commodity prices. By doing so, we believe we can mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential negative effects of decreases in oil, natural gas, and NGL prices on our cash flows from operations. However, our hedging activity could reduce our ability to benefit from increases in oil, natural gas, and NGL prices. Further, we could sustain losses to the extent our oil, natural gas, and NGL derivative contract prices are lower than market prices and, conversely, we could recognize gains to the extent our oil, natural gas, and NGL derivative contract prices are higher than market prices. Refer to Results of Operations - Other expenses below for a discussion of our recognized gains or losses on derivative contracts.

As of June 30, 2026, we had the following outstanding crude oil, natural gas, and NGL derivative contracts in place, which settle monthly and are indexed to NYMEX West Texas Intermediate, NYMEX Henry Hub, and Mount Belvieu OPIS, respectively:

2025 Acquisitions

We closed the Bayswater Acquisition on March 26, 2025, for total cash consideration $482.5 million, $15.0 million of which was deposited in escrow pending the completion of the Additional Working Interest Acquisition, which Bayswater acquired and assigned to us on April 11, 2025, and we issued the Equity Consideration to Bayswater. We completed the final settlement with Bayswater on October 15, 2025, which resulted in total consideration of $475.6 million.

In July 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets from Edge Energy for a total purchase price of $12.5 million payable in cash, subject to certain closing price adjustments. We closed the Edge Acquisition on July 3, 2025, which included 13 operated wells on approximately 11,300 net acres, and funded the transaction by borrowing under our Credit Facility.

In August 2025, we completed the Third Exok Acquisition, acquiring approximately 5,000 net acres for $1.6 million.

In October 2025, we acquired certain assets from Summit and Crown for a total purchase price of $2.3 million, subject to certain closing adjustments, payable in cash. The Summit and Crown Acquisitions included the acquisition of five operated wells on approximately 3,400 net acres.

Total revenues and production for the six months ended June 30, 2025, include revenue and production volumes from the assets acquired from Bayswater beginning on March 26, 2025, the closing date of the Bayswater Acquisition, through June 30, 2025.
(2)
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we realized negative natural gas sales revenue and average realized prices (excluding and including the effects of derivatives) due to lower gross sales, driven by decreased pricing during the quarter, compared to gathering and processing fees.
(3)
We have reclassified certain gathering and processing fees presented net within natural gas and NGL sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to conform with the allocation used during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. This reallocation has no impact on our total revenues or net income (loss) attributable to Prairie Operating Co. as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(4)
MBoe is calculated using six MMcf of natural gas equivalent to one MBbl of oil.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue increased 45% to $98.9 million from $68.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This change was primarily driven by a 40% increase in average realized price per Boe (excluding the effects of derivatives) and a 4% increase in production volumes, attributable to incremental production volumes from new wells coming online as development activities were completed throughout the first half of 2026.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue increased 125% to $182.3 million from $80.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was largely due to an 84% increase in production volumes, 40% of which is attributable to the production volumes from the properties acquired in the Bayswater Acquisition, which closed on March 26, 2025, and 60% of which is attributable to incremental production volumes from new wells coming online as development activities were completed throughout the second half of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, average realized price per Boe (excluding the effects of derivatives) increased 22% during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Lease operating expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, lease operating expense (“LOE”) increased to $13.6 million compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by new wells coming online as development activities were completed throughout the second half of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, our transaction services agreement with Bayswater ended at the end of May 2025 and we fully took over field operations at that time, resulting in incremental employee and benefit expenses recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. These increases were partially offset by decreased operating costs across all categories during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, as we continue to streamline efficiencies and optimize operating costs at the properties acquired in the Bayswater Acquisition. Additionally, LOE includes $0.6 million of workover expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $0.5 million of non-operated LOE recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2026. We did not incur any workover expenses or recognize any non-operated LOE during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, LOE increased to $28.5 million compared to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, driven by the additional properties acquired in the Bayswater Acquisition, which closed on March 26, 2025, resulting in incremental operating costs. Additionally, approximately 36% of the LOE increase is attributable to new wells coming online as development activities were completed throughout the second half of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. LOE also includes $1.5 million of workover expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and $1.1 million of non-operated LOE recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026. We did not incur any workover expenses or recognize any non-operated LOE during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Transportation and processing expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, transportation and processing expenses remained relatively flat at $2.4 million compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, transportation and processing expenses increased to $4.9 million compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in transportation and processing expenses was largely driven by increased production as a result of our Bayswater Acquisition, which closed on March 26, 2025, and new wells coming online as development activities were completed throughout the second half of 2025 and the first two quarters of 2026.

Ad valorem and production taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, ad valorem and production taxes increased to $8.0 million compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in ad valorem and production taxes is attributable to incremental production fees levied by the state of Colorado beginning in January 2026 and incremental ad valorem for equipment on pad sites incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026, which were not incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, ad valorem and production taxes increased to $14.8 million compared to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in ad valorem and production taxes was largely driven by increased production as a result of our Bayswater Acquisition, which closed on March 26, 2025, and new wells coming online as development activities were completed throughout the second half of 2025 and the first two quarters of 2026.

Depreciation, depletion, and amortization. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”) expenses increased to $17.1 million compared to $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by increased production from new wells coming online as development activities were completed throughout the first half of 2026.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, DD&A expenses increased to $32.9 million compared to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, driven by increased production as a result of our Bayswater Acquisition, which closed on March 26, 2025, and new wells coming online as development activities were completed throughout the first half of 2026.

Abandonment and impairment of unproved properties. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $0.2 million of abandonment and impairment related to unproved properties, which reflects unproved locations that we have deemed non–core and allowed to expire. We did not record any abandonment and impairment related to unproved properties for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $0.6 million of abandonment and impairment related to unproved properties, which reflects unproved locations that we have deemed non–core and allowed to expire. We did not record any abandonment and impairment related to unproved properties for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

General and administrative expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses decreased to $12.0 million compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The 27% decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to decreased investor relations costs of $3.0 million, employee and benefit expenses of $1.6 million, and transition services agreement fees associated with the Bayswater Acquisition of $0.7 million, partially offset with an increase of $0.9 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense and $0.8 million in other non-recurring litigation and severance settlement expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses increased to $28.8 million compared to $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The 31% increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to incremental non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $5.4 million, other non-recurring litigation and severance settlement expenses of $4.2 million, and $1.5 million of employee and benefit expenses. The increase was partially offset by decreased investor relations costs of $3.1 million and transition services agreement fees associated with the Bayswater Acquisition of $0.7 million.

Interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, interest expense remained relatively flat at $10.0 million compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, interest expense increased $7.7 million compared to the same period of 2025, primarily driven by interest on the Credit Facility incurred during the period. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources - Significant Sources of Liquidity below for a further discussion of the Credit Facility.

Gain (loss) on derivatives, net. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, gain on derivatives, net was $45.1 million compared to $28.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The change in gain on derivatives, net was primarily due to a $54.6 million increase in unrealized gain on derivatives driven by favorable changes in the fair value of our open derivative contracts as of June 30, 2026 compared to April 1, 2026. This increase was partially offset with an increase in our realized loss on derivatives of $37.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 due to unfavorable changes in cash settlements during the period compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, loss on derivatives, net was $132.0 million compared to a gain on derivatives, net of $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change in loss on derivatives, net was primarily due to a $108.2 million increase in unrealized loss on derivatives driven by unfavorable changes in the fair value of our open derivative contracts as of June 30, 2026 compared to January 1, 2026. Additionally, our realized loss on derivatives increased by $51.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 due to unfavorable changes in cash settlements during the period compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Refer to Factors Affecting the Comparability of Financial Results – Commodity Prices above for a further discussion of our derivative contracts.

Gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities. We have several financial instruments that are or were previously valued at fair value on a recurring basis; therefore, we recognize the changes in fair value at each remeasurement period as a gain (loss) on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the gain on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities reflects gains on fair value of $53.6 million for the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants, $10.9 million for the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives, and $0.7 million for the Subordinated Note, which were partially offset by a $15.3 million loss on fair value for the issuance of the Incremental Share Right liability and a $1.8 million loss on fair value for conversions of the Series F Preferred Stock.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the gain on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities reflects gains on fair value of $29.3 million for the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants, $11.0 million for the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives, and $0.3 million for the Subordinated Note, which were partially offset by a $15.3 million loss on fair value for the issuance of the Incremental Share Right liability and a $8.9 million loss on fair value for conversions of the Series F Preferred Stock. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources - Significant Sources of Liquidity below for a further discussion of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants, the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives, the Incremental Share Rights liability, and the Subordinated Note Warrants.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized income tax expense of $19.8 million and an income tax benefit of $18.6 million, respectively, resulting in effective income tax rates of 15.4% and 29.9%, respectively. The difference between our effective income tax rates and the statutory blended rates for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 relate to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation awards and tax deduction limitations on the compensation of covered individuals. We did not recognize any income tax benefit or expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate the performance of our business, make operational decisions, and assess our ability to generate cashflows. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with helpful information to better understand the underlying performance trends of our business, facilitate period-to-period comparisons, and assess the company’s operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA is derived from net income (loss) attributable to Prairie Operating Co. and is adjusted depreciation, depletion, and amortization, abandonment and impairment of unproved properties, non-cash stock-based compensation, interest expense, net, unrealized (gain) loss on derivatives, non-cash (gain) loss on adjustment to fair value – financial instrument liabilities, litigation and severance settlement expense, and income tax expense (benefit), all as applicable. We adjust net income (loss) attributable to Prairie Operating Co. for the items listed above to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially between periods and companies within our industry depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, including that it excludes certain items that affect our reported financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income calculated in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Additionally, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our production and development activities will require us to make significant operating and capital expenditures. In the second half of 2025 and throughout the first two quarters of 2026, our primary sources of liquidity were borrowings on our Credit Facility, which has a borrowing base of $475.0 million and an aggregate elected commitment of $475.0 million.

Additionally, on June 20, 2025, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement in connection with our ATM Offering, which allows us to sell shares of our Common Stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75.0 million through the Managers. Sales of the shares of Common Stock sold under the ATM Offering, if any, will be made under our Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 2, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we have issued 772,594 shares under the ATM Offering, which resulted in net proceeds of $1.8 million.

Working Capital

We define working capital as current assets less current liabilities. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of $125.5 million and $46.1 million, respectively, and cash and cash equivalents of less than $0.1 million.

Capital Program

Our 2026 capital expenditure guidance is $185.0 million to $195.0 million. Our current capital program consists of a one rig and one frac crew cadence throughout the year. Since January 1, 2026, we have drilled 27 wells across four pads, 21 of which have come online as of the issuance date of this report. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, our cash expenditures for the development of oil and natural gas properties totaled $132.6 million, with an additional $12.4 million incurred in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The amount and allocation of future capital expenditures will depend upon a number of factors, including the amount and timing of cash flows from operations, investing and financing activities, and the timing and cost of additional capital sources. We currently plan to be the operator on substantially all of our acreage. As a result, we anticipate that the timing and level of our capital spending will largely be discretionary and within our control. We could choose to defer a portion of our planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals, seasonal conditions, drilling and acquisition costs, the level of participation by other working interest owners, the success of our drilling activities, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil, natural gas, and NGLs, and the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital.
 
Our development program is dependent upon our cash flow from operations generated from our assets and our ability to obtain additional financing through our Credit Facility. Additionally, we could obtain additional financing through public and private capital markets; however, the availability of additional capital would be subject to numerous factors outside of our control including prices of oil and natural gas and the overall health of the U.S. and global economic environments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional capital.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $94.3 million and $9.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $84.5 million increase in our net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to increased revenue during the period, partially offset by increased operating expenses, largely driven by the Bayswater Acquisition, which closed on March 26, 2025.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $143.9 million and $522.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $378.4 million decrease in our net cash used in investing activities was largely driven by cash paid for the Bayswater Acquisition of $467.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was partially offset by a $78.6 million increase in expenditure for the development of oil and natural gas properties during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $49.6 million and $518.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The $468.4 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was mostly due to financing activities completed during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to fund the Bayswater Acquisition, which closed on March 26, 2025. These financing activities included $43.8 million from the issuance of Common Stock, net of related issuance costs of $3.3 million, $148.3 million from the issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock, net of related issuance costs of $11.1 million, and $359.0 million from borrowings under the Credit Facility, net of related issuance costs of $15.7 million. Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were attributable to $134.0 million of borrowings on the Credit Facility, partially offset by repayments of $64.0 million and Credit Facility amendment fees of $1.9 million. Additionally, we redeemed a portion of the Series F Preferred Stock for $19.0 million and issued shares of Common Stock under our ATM Offering, which resulted in net proceeds of $1.8 million.

Significant Sources of Liquidity

Credit Facility. On December 16, 2024, we, as borrower, entered into a reserve–based credit agreement with Citi, as administrative agent and the financial institution party. On February 3, 2025, we entered into the first amendment to our reserve–based credit agreement with Citi, which among other things, increased the borrowing base and the aggregate elected commitments to $60.0 million. On March 26, 2025, we entered into the Credit Facility Agreement, which amended and restated our existing reserve–based credit agreement with Citi. On June 6, 2025, we entered into the first amendment to our Credit Facility Agreement, which added Bank of America N.A. and West Texas National Bank as lenders under the Credit Facility. On June 10, 2026, we entered into the second amendment to the Credit Facility Agreement, which among other things, reaffirmed the borrowing base of $475.0 million, modified certain covenants relating to our distributable free cash flow and certain other reporting and notice requirements, and increased the cadence of scheduled borrowing base redeterminations and the number of interim borrowing base redeterminations which may occur in any fiscal year.

The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on March 26, 2029 and provides for a maximum credit commitment of $1.0 billion. As of June 30, 2026, the Credit Facility had a borrowing base of $475.0 million and an aggregate elected commitment of $475.0 million and includes a $47.5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The borrowing base is subject to quarterly redeterminations based upon the value of our oil and gas properties as determined in a reserve report immediately preceding April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st of each year, subject to certain interim redeterminations.

We are subject to certain financial covenants and customary restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility. The financial covenants require us to maintain, for each fiscal quarter, a Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and a Current Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of at least 1.00 to 1.00. In August 2026, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Facility Agreement which modifies the Current Ratio covenant requirement to at least 0.50 to 1.00 for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Additionally, the amendment established a new covenant which requires our net monthly production to not fall below an average number specified in the amendment, which will be measured on a rolling three-month average, beginning September 30, 2026. After giving effect to the amendment, we are in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $436.0 million and $366.0 million, respectively, of revolving borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, resulting in $39.0 million and $109.0 million, respectively, of availability for future borrowings and letters of credit. Additionally, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $12.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with our Credit Facility, which are presented as debt issuance costs, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized to interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight–line basis over the life of the Credit Facility. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we amortized $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of deferred financing costs into interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we amortized $0.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of deferred financing costs into interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Subordinated Promissory Note and Subordinated Note Warrants. On September 30, 2024, we entered into the Subordinated Note with the Noteholders in a principal amount of $5.0 million, which has a maturity date of March 17, 2027. The Noteholders are entities controlled by Jonathan H. Gray, who is a director of the Company; therefore, the Subordinated Note and Subordinated Note Warrants are presented as related-party on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Subordinated Note had an interest rate of 10.00% and the Noteholders were entitled to a minimum return on capital of up to 2.0x upon the repayment, prepayment or acceleration of the obligations, or the occurrence of certain other triggering events under the Subordinated Note. In December 2024, and in conjunction with entering into the Credit Facility, we made a $1.8 million payment on the Subordinated Note, resulting in a principal balance of $3.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

On March 26, 2025, in connection with the closing and financing of the Bayswater Acquisition, we paid $3.2 million of the outstanding balance under the Subordinated Note. Pursuant to the terms of the payoff letter, we and the Noteholders agreed that the remaining $1.5 million outstanding Subordinated Note balance would be converted to principal, will accrue interest at a rate of 15% of per annum, and all principal and other amounts owed (other than interest) pursuant to the Subordinated Note will not be redeemable for any reason while any of our Series F Preferred Stock remains outstanding.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Note, we issued the Subordinated Note Warrants to purchase up to 1,141,552 shares of Common Stock to the Noteholders, which vest in tranches based on the date of repayment of the Subordinated Note. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Subordinated Note Warrants providing the right to purchase 856,165 shares of Common Stock had vested and were outstanding.

Series F Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants. On March 24, 2025, we entered into the Series F Preferred Securities Purchase Agreement with the Series F Preferred Stockholder, pursuant to which the Series F Preferred Stockholder agreed to purchase for an aggregate of $148.3 million (i) 148,250 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, with a Stated Value of $1,000 per share, convertible into shares of Common Stock and (ii) upon the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants. The Series F Preferred Offering closed on March 26, 2025, and we received approximately $136.1 million of net proceeds, after deducting advisor fees and offering expenses. We used the proceeds from the Series F Preferred Offering to fund a portion of the Bayswater Acquisition, which closed on March 26, 2025.

We have determined that the Series F Preferred Stock should be classified as mezzanine equity because it is currently redeemable at the Series F Preferred Stockholder’s option. Additionally, we determined that certain features of the Series F Preferred Stock require bifurcation and separate accounting as embedded derivatives and that the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants should be accounted for as liabilities because they are not considered indexed to our stock since the potential number of Common Stock shares to be issued upon the exercise of such warrants will vary based on the amount of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date. On the date of issuance, in accordance with ASC 815, we recorded a liability of $25.5 million for the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives and a liability of $22.1 million for the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock. As a result, on March 26, 2025, we recognized the Series F Preferred Stock in mezzanine equity based on its relative fair value of $92.6 million, after allocating $47.6 million of the proceeds to the embedded derivative features and the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants. Additionally, we recorded the issuance costs of $12.2 million as a reduction to the allocated proceeds.

Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation. The Series F Preferred Stockholder is entitled to receive, on a cumulative basis, dividends on each share of Series F Preferred Stock at the Series F Preferred Stock Stated Dividend Rate in cash on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each calendar year, beginning on June 1, 2025. Alternatively, according to the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, we may elect to pay the dividends entirely or partially in shares of Common Stock. Additionally, the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation states that six months after the anniversary date of the maturity of our Credit Facility the Series F Preferred Stock Stated Dividend Rate will increase to 25%. We have elected to pay the March 1, 2026 and June 1, 2026 dividends by issuing the Series F Preferred Stockholder 2,352,000 and 3,276,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively. Additionally, on April 8, 2026, we redeemed a portion of the Series F Preferred Stock, discussed further below, and issued the Series F Preferred Stockholder 109,816 shares of Common Stock related to dividends.

The Series F Preferred Stockholder may convert all or a portion its shares of Series F Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at any time at a Standard Conversion rate of 202.0202 shares of Common Stock per share of Series F Preferred Stock, subject to certain adjustments as described in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation. The Series F Preferred Stockholder also has the option to convert all or a portion of its shares of Series F Preferred Stock using an Alternative Conversion Rate (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, as supplemented by the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement) in lieu of the conversion rate, subject to an Alternative Conversion Cap (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation) for each quarter. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, 6,273 and 29,323 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, respectively, were converted into 4,352,402 and 22,454,702 shares of Common Stock, respectively, using the Alternative Conversion.

Further, the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation also contains certain financial covenants which require us to maintain, for each fiscal quarter a Net Leverage Ratio of no greater than 2.50 to 1.00 and a Current Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00. The breach of these covenants results in a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation). We are required to submit the current fiscal quarter covenant calculations to the Series F Preferred Stockholder the month after our financial statements are available for issuance and the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation does not require us to notify the Series F Preferred Stockholder of any non-compliance prior to the issuance of the compliance certificate. Additionally, the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation allows for the Triggering Event to be waived but does not specify a cure period; therefore, we can either request a waiver from the Series F Preferred Stockholder after submitting our compliance certificate or we can cure the Triggering Event by demonstrating compliance at any time prior to the quarter subsequent to the Triggering Event. As discussed above, on August 14, 2026, the Series F Preferred Stockholder waived any breach of the Current Ratio covenant from qualifying as a Triggering Event through January 1, 2027.
 
 
If a Triggering Event occurs the Series F Preferred Stockholder is entitled to receive, on a cumulative basis, Trigger Dividends, which will accrue daily and compound quarterly from, and including, the date of such Triggering Event, but excluding, the date such Triggering Event is cured and all outstanding Trigger Dividends have been paid. Pursuant to the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, we have the option to pay the Trigger Dividends in shares of Common Stock.

Series F Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants Amendments and Letter Agreements. On March 25, 2026, we entered into the First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment, which, among other things, extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from March 26, 2026 to April 7, 2026. Pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment, we agreed to pay the Series F Preferred Stockholder a $3.0 million extension fee, which was waived by the Series F Preferred Stockholder on April 8, 2026.

On April 6, 2026, we entered into the Second Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment, which among other things, amended and restated the First Series F Preferred Stock Warrant Amendment to extend the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from April 7, 2026 to April 9, 2026.

On April 8, 2026, we entered into the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, we repurchased 13,727 shares of Series F Preferred Stock from the Series F Preferred for the Series F Preferred Stock Repurchase Price, the cash portion of which was $19.0 million. Additionally, pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, we issued the Series F Preferred Stockholder the First Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants, and agreed that, if on July 8, 2026, which date was subsequently extended to August 7, 2026 and further extended to August 31, 2026, for any reason, the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants have not been issued to the Series F Preferred Stockholder, we will issue the Second Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants. Further, pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, upon the Series F Preferred Stockholder’s receipt of the Series F Preferred Stock Repurchase Price and the issuance of the First Series F Preferred Stock Penny Warrants, the Series F Preferred Stockholder waived our obligation to pay the $3.0 million extension fee.

Additionally, the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement amended the definition of the Market Stock Payment Price used in calculating the Alterative Conversion Rate to be based upon the average of the two lowest daily volume-weighted average per share trading prices of our Common Stock during any five consecutive trading-day period that occurred within the 35 trading-day period ending on the date of such calculation (in lieu of the five trading-day period previously set forth in the set forth in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation). The parties further agreed that the Cash Sweep Amount set forth in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation shall mean (a) with respect to any Cash Sweep Financing (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation), 50% of the net proceeds from such financing and (b) with respect to any Distributable Free Cash Flow Action (as defined in the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation), 25% of the amount of such dividend, distribution, prepayment, or investment, as applicable. We may request to settle the Cash Sweep Amount in Common Shares.

Finally, the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement also extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from April 9, 2026 to July 8, 2026 and reduced the number of Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants from (1) a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 125% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on the Original Issuance Date, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume–weighted average per share trading prices of our Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to Original Issuance Date, to (2) a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 75% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on July 8, 2026, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume–weighted average per share trading prices of the our during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date.

On June 10, 2026, we entered into the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, among other things, the parties further extended the issuance date of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to August 7, 2026, which date was subsequently extended to August 31, 2026 and reduced the number of Common Stock shares issuable upon exercise of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants to a number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) 65% of the Stated Value of all Series F Preferred Stock held on the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date, divided by (ii) the average of the 10 daily volume-weighted average per share trading prices of the Common Stock during the 10 trading-days prior to the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant Issuance Date.

Additionally, pursuant to the Second Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, we issued the Incremental Share Rights to the Series F Preferred Stockholder, which allow the Series F Preferred Stockholder to convert any remaining shares of Series F Preferred Stock into an incremental amount of additional shares of our Common Stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed 21,156,339 shares of Common Stock. While the Series F Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Incremental Share Rights can be converted at any time and at any price. After full conversion or redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock, any Incremental Share Rights can only be converted at and above the Nasdaq minimum floor price of $1.15.

Remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock. We accounted for the changes set forth in the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement as a modification. Additionally, we determined that the partial redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement should be aggregated and treated as a single transaction with the modification. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 480, we adjusted the value of the Series F Preferred Stock to reflect its maximum redemption value immediately prior to and following the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, resulting in a loss on remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock of $46.9 million. To account for the partial redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock, we increased the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivative, resulting in a deemed dividend of $7.4 million, and decreased the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrant liability, resulting in a deemed dividend of $51.3 million, both of which are presented as components of the remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, in accordance with ASC 480, we adjusted the Series F Preferred Stock to reflect its maximum redemption value of $43.2 million, resulting in a remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock of $91.0 million and $76.8 million, which is presented in the remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Additionally, at each conversion, we reduce the balance of the Series F Preferred Stock by the carrying value of the converted shares, which, as of June 30, 2026, has resulted in a decrease of $3.7 million from December 31, 2025.

At-the-Market Sales Agreement. On June 20, 2025, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Truist Securities, Inc., as managers. Pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement, we have the option to sell shares of our Common Stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75.0 million through the Managers. All Common Stock sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement, if any, will be made under our Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective on May 2, 2025.

We currently anticipate any net proceeds from the ATM Offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, advancing our development and drilling program, repayment of existing indebtedness, or financing potential acquisition opportunities. As of June 30, 2026, we have issued 772,594 shares under the ATM Offering, which resulted in net proceeds of $1.8 million.

Additionally, the Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, as amended by the First Series F Preferred Stock Letter Agreement, includes a Cash Sweep provision, which requires us to provide the Series F Preferred Stockholder with 50% of any net proceeds raised by financing. The Series F Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation allows for the Cash Sweep Amount to be settled in Common Stock shares, which is how we intend to settle the Cash Sweep Amount related to any sales under the ATM Offering.

Liquidity Analysis

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we had net income attributable to Prairie Operating Co. common stockholders of $193.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively. We cannot predict if we will be able to sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis and extended periods of losses and negative cash flow may prevent us from successfully operating and expanding our business. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of less than $0.1 million, a working capital deficit of $125.5 million, and an accumulated deficit of $131.4 million.

The assessment of liquidity requires management to make estimates of future activity and judgments about whether we can meet our obligations, have adequate liquidity to operate, and maintain compliance with the applicable financial covenants of our Credit Facility. As discussed above in Significant Sources of Liquidity, on August 14, 2026, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Facility Agreement which modified the Current Ratio covenant requirement to at least 0.50 to 1.00 for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Additionally, the amendment established a new covenant which requires our net monthly production to not fall below an average number specified in the amendment, which will be measured on a rolling three-month average, beginning September 30, 2026. Significant assumptions used in our forecasted model of liquidity in the next 12 months include our current cash position and our ability to generate sufficient revenues from our existing producing wells and newly developed wells which will continue coming online in the second half of 2026 to meet our working capital needs and maintain compliance with the applicable financial covenants, as recently amended, of our Credit Facility.

Our near-term capital funding needs have historically been addressed with borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2026, we have availability of $39.0 million under the Credit Facility, which may or may not be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next 12 months. Additionally, in June 2025, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement with the Managers. Pursuant to the agreement, we have the option to sell our Common Stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75.0 million through the Managers to raise additional funding to cover our short-term liquidity needs.

As such, we believe that revenues from our existing producing wells, incremental revenues from our newly developed wells which will come online in the second half of 2026, borrowings under our Credit Facility, and sales under the ATM Offering will be sufficient to cover our liquidity needs and maintain compliance with the applicable financial covenants of our Credit Facility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserve quantities and estimated future cash flows associated with proved reserves, depletion of proved developed oil and natural gas reserves, asset retirement obligations, accruals for our oil, natural gas, and NGL revenues and any potential liabilities, the valuation of the Series F Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock Anniversary Warrants, and our stock–based compensation, including performance based awards, the fair value of commodity derivative instruments, the realization of {deferred tax assets, and any acquisition–related purchase price allocations. Management believes its estimates and assumptions to be reasonable under these circumstances. Certain estimates and assumptions are inherently unpredictable, and actual results could differ from those estimates.

We have provided a full discussion of our significant accounting policies, estimates, and judgments in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q. For purposes of this section, the term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2026 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost–effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision–making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is not involved in any material legal proceedings or other proceedings described in Item 303 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factor is in addition to the risks and uncertainties described under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The effects of the events and circumstances described in the following risk factor may, directly or indirectly, heighten, exacerbate or otherwise bring to fruition many of the risks contained in our annual, quarterly, and periodic reports filed with the SEC.

If we cannot regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, Nasdaq will delist our common stock.
 
Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. On July 2, 2026, we received a letter (the “Minimum Bid Price Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for our Common Stock had been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Minimum Bid Price Notice has no effect on the listing of our Common Stock, and our Common Stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided until December 29, 2026 to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which requires that the closing bid price of our Common Stock meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (or such longer period as Nasdaq may require in its discretion).
 
If we are unable to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement, we may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. In addition, if our Common Stock trades at or below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will immediately issue a delisting determination under Listing Rule 5810, our Common Stock will be suspended from trading, and we will be ineligible for any compliance period that would otherwise be available under Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). If we do not qualify for the second compliance period or fail to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, Nasdaq will notify us of its determination to delist our Common Stock.
 
There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement. A delisting of our Common Stock could negatively impact us by, among other things:
 
 
reducing the liquidating and market price of our Common Stock;
 
reducing the number of investors, including institutional investors, willing to hold or acquire our Common Stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity;
 
decreasing the amount of news and analyst coverage relating to us;
 
limiting our ability to issue additional securities, obtain additional financing or pursue strategic restructuring, refinancing or other transactions; and
 
impacting our reputation and, as a consequence, our ability to attract new business.

There were no unregistered sales of the Company’s equity securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, that were not otherwise disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8–K.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information
