Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on October 17, 2022, HNR Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a common stock purchase agreement (as amended, the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with White Lion Capital, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“White Lion”). Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $150,000,000 in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms by the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on March 7, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “1st Amendment”) with White Lion. On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “2nd Amendment”) with White Lion. Pursuant to the 2nd Amendment, the Company and White Lion agreed to amend the process of a Rapid Purchase, whereby the parties will close on the Rapid Purchase on the trading day the notice of the applicable Rapid Purchase is given. The 2nd Amendment, among other things, also removed the maximum number of shares required to be purchased upon notice of a Rapid Purchase, added a limit of 100,000 shares of Common Stock per individual request, and revised the purchase price of a Rapid Purchase to equal the lowest traded price of Common Stock during the one hour following White Lion’s acceptance of the Rapid Purchase for each request. In addition, White Lion agreed that, on any single business day, it shall not publicly resell an aggregate amount of Commitment Shares in an amount that exceeds 7% of the daily trading volume of the Common Stock for such business day, excluding any trades before or after regular trading hours and any block trades.
The foregoing description of the 2nd Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2nd Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information set forth in “Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” relating to the issuance of Common Stock is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The Company will issue the Common Stock in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such shares contain a legend stating the same.
