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

Acquisition Closing Summary

The Acquisitions, including SJM II’s Appalachia and Haynesville assets, cover approximately 700,000 gross unit acres and 11,810 net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) at an average net revenue interest of 0.21%, including more than 1,700 producing wells, 245 wells in process and permits, and 2,500 undeveloped locations.

Management Commentary

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