Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 20, 2023, Camber Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) with RESC Renewables Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”) to acquire all of the membership interests (the “Acquired Interests”) of New Rise Renewables, LLC (“New Rise”). New Rise owns all of membership interests in New Rise Renewables Reno, LLC (“New Rise Reno” and, together with New Rise, the “Acquired Companies”). The Acquired Companies are in the process of constructing and bringing into commercial operations a processing plant located near Reno, Nevada, that is designed to produce renewable diesel (the “Plant”).

 

The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Acquired Interests is anticipated to be $750 million, less the amount of the outstanding liabilities and indebtedness of the Acquired Companies, which liabilities and indebtedness are estimated to be approximately $251 million, but subject to final determination and adjustment pursuant to the purchase price adjustment mechanism set forth in the MIPA.

 

The Purchase Price, subject to permitted adjustments, is to be paid at closing by delivery of a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of the Seller in the principal amount of the Purchase Price. Under the form of Note, the Company is required pay at least $100,000,000 of the principal amount of the Note no later than 30 days from the later of (1) the date the Plant is commercially operational and (2) the closing date. The form of Note requires the Company to make additional payments following the achievement of certain production and sale goals for renewable diesel produced by the Plant. Payments under the Note may be made in cash or conversions of principal balance into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Shares”), subject to the 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation provided in the Note. The Note will be secured pursuant to a Security Agreement and Pledge (the “Security Agreement”), the form of which provides for a first lien perfected security interest in a portion of the membership interests in the Acquired Companies equaling the unpaid portion of the Note.

 

The MIPA also provides for the Company to make potential earnout payments to the Seller for the period the Note remains unpaid. The amount of earnout payments, if any, is determined by the amount of available cash calculated on a quarterly basis. The amount of available cash equals the positive net revenue of New Rise Reno reduced by reserves to cover costs and expenses or to comply with law or debt instruments relating to the Plant. If there is available cash for an earnout period, the Company will pay all or a portion of it to the Seller, as set out in the MIPA.

 

Each party’s obligation to complete the transactions contemplated by the MIPA is subject to certain conditions, including making filings and the time period expiring under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, Phillips 66 not exercising a right of first refusal to acquire the Plant, approval by the Board of Directors of the Company and its shareholders, agreement from the Company’s existing preferred shareholder to fix the number of underlying Common Shares associated with its remaining shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company at an amount agreed upon by such shareholder, the Company and the Seller, and consents by third parties. The obligations of the Company are further subject to the Company completing diligence on the Plant and Acquired Companies to its satisfaction, receiving an appraisal of the Plant to its satisfaction, the Plant achieving commercial operations, and certain other deliverables. Some of these conditions provide the Company with significant discretion. Other conditions require compliance by third parties that are outside of the control of the Company and Seller. Accordingly, the transactions described herein are subject to substantial risk of completion. In the event the transaction is not completed, it may result in a material adverse effect to price of the Common Shares.

 

The closing date of the acquisition of the Acquired Interests is to be no later than two business days after the last of the conditions to closing set out in the MIPA have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the closing date). If the closing has not occurred by May 31, 2023 or it becomes apparent that the closing conditions will not be obtained by such date, either party may terminate the agreement, unless such failure to satisfy the closing conditions is caused by such party. The Company is also entitled to terminate the MIPA during a 20 business day inspection period following the receipt by the Company of all diligence related to the Seller, the Acquired Companies and the Plant.

 

The MIPA contains customary representations, warranties, indemnification obligations and agreements of the Company and the Seller.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the MIPA, the Note and the Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the MIPA and the form of Note and the form of Security Agreement contained within the MIPA. A copy of the MIPA is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference in its entirety. Because the Note and Security Agreement will be executed at closing, if closing is to occur, the actual terms of the Note and Security Agreement may differ from that described herein.
