(the “Company”) closed on its acquisition (the “Pogo Acquisition”) of Pogo Resources, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Pogo”) pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2023 (as amended, the “MIPA”), by and among the Company, HNRA Upstream, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is managed by, and is a subsidiary of, the Company (“OpCo”), and HNRA Partner, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of OpCo (“SPAC Subsidiary”, and together with the Company and OpCo, “Buyer” and each a “Buyer”), CIC Pogo LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“CIC”), DenCo Resources, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“DenCo”), Pogo Resources Management, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Pogo Management”), 4400 Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“4400” and, together with CIC, DenCo and Pogo Management, collectively, “Seller” and each a “Seller”).
In connection with the Pogo Acquisition, among other consideration, the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, issued to Pogo Royalty, LLC (“Pogo Royalty”), as representative of Seller: (a) 2,000,000 Class B common units of OpCo (“OpCo Class B Units”) valued at $10.00 per unit, which, together with shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), are exchangeable for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), on a one-for-one basis, issuable upon exercise of the Pogo Royalty’s exchange right as described further in OpCo’s amended and restated limited liability company agreement, (b) a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000 (the “Seller Note”), and (c) 1,500,000 preferred units of OpCo (the “OpCo Preferred Units”), which are convertible into OpCo Class B Units on November 15, 2025 at a ratio equal to the quotient of $20 divided by the average of the daily VWAP of the Class A Common Stock during the five trading days prior to conversion, and thereafter may be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis.
In addition, in connection with the Pogo Acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company, HNRA Royalties, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HNRA Royalties”), and Pogo Royalty entered into an Option Agreement, pursuant to which Pogo Royalty granted an irrevocable and exclusive option to HNRA Royalties to purchase a certain 10% overriding royalty interest in certain oil and gas assets owned by Pogo (the “ORRI”) at any time prior to November 15, 2024.
As previously reported, on February 10, 2025, the Company entered into a Purchase, Sale, Termination and Exchange Agreement (the “PSTE Agreement”), by and among the Company, OpCo, SPAC Subsidiary, HNRA Royalties, Pogo Royalty, CIC, DenCo, Pogo Management, and 4400. Pursuant to the PSTE Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase the ORRI from Pogo Royalty for $14,000,000 (the “ORRI Purchase Price”), payable in cash at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the PSTE Agreement (the “Closing”). In addition, at the Closing, Pogo Royalty agreed to waive all outstanding interest accrued under the Seller Note, reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Seller Note to $8,000,000 and settle and discharge the Seller Note in exchange for the payment of $8,000,000 in cash. Pogo Royalty further agreed to assign and transfer the OpCo Preferred Units to OpCo in exchange for the issuance by the Company of 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Share Consideration”) at the Closing. If the Closing did not occur prior to 1:00 p.m. Central Time on June 3, 2025 (the “Outside Date”), the PSTE Agreement would automatically terminate.
On June 2, 2025, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the PSTE Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) whereby the Outside Date was extended to 5:00 p.m. Central Time on June 6, 2025. On June 6, 2025, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the PSTE Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) whereby the Outside Date was extended to 5:00 p.m. Central Time on June 13, 2025.

On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 3 to the PSTE Agreement (“Amendment No. 3,” and together with Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, collectively, the “Amendments”) whereby the Outside Date was extended to 5:00 p.m. Central Time on September 15, 2025. In addition, pursuant to Amendment No. 3, the ORRI Purchase Price was decreased to $13,500,000 and the parties agreed to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Seller Note to $7,000,000 and settle and discharge the Seller Note in exchange for the payment of $7,000,000 in cash at the Closing; provided, however, that the Company may instead discharge the Seller Note at the Closing by payment of $4,500,000 in cash and the issuance of a promissory note having a principal amount of $2,500,000, bearing interest at a rate of 18% per annum, compounding monthly, maturing 60 days after the Closing, and secured by a first lien on certain of the Company’s surface and well equipment.

(d) Section 2.1 is amened to insert the phrase “the cash portion of” immediately prior to phrase “the Note Payoff Fee.”
(e) Section 2.4(b) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“the cash portion of Note Payoff Fee and, if applicable, the Closing Note;”
(f) Section 5.7 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the header “Intentionally Omitted.”
(g) Section 7.2 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“This Agreement shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on September 15, 2025 (the “Outside Date”).”
2. Release; Covenant Not to Sue; Non-Disparagement. The releases set forth in this Section 2 of this Amendment were specifically bargained for by the Parties and were a material part of the consideration for the Sellers entering into this Amendment to extend the Outside Date, reduce the ORRI Purchase Price and reduce the Note Payoff Fee.
(a) Except as expressly set forth in Section 2(c) or with respect to intentional common law fraud, effective as of the Amendment 3 Effective Date, each Seller, on behalf of itself and its current and/or former officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, predecessors, successors, attorneys, assigns, and any other Person who may assert a claim by or through such Seller (collectively, the “Seller Releasing Parties”), hereby forever release, discharge, and acquit the Purchasers and their respective current and/or former officers, directors, members, partners, employees, equity holders, agents, representatives, Affiliates, predecessors, successors, attorneys, and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Released Parties”) of and from any claims, demands, disputes, rights, actions or causes of action, orders, obligations, debts and liabilities, arbitration, lawsuits or Legal Proceedings of any kind, nature or description whatsoever, whether direct, derivative, individual, representative, or in any other capacity, upon any legal or equitable theory (tort, contract or otherwise), whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, concealed or hidden, suspected or unsuspected, which such Seller Releasing Party ever had, now has or may have arising out of or related to (i) the Company, OpCo, EONR Royalties, Pogo Resources, LH Operating, LLC and their Affiliates and their business, management, assets, and operations or (ii) the MIPA, in each case from the beginning of the world to the Amendment 3 Effective Date (collectively, the “Seller Released Claims”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Amendment, the Seller Released Claims shall not include (A) any rights under the Seller Note (except as expressly contemplated by Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 of the PSA), (B) the ORRI or the Letter in Lieu of Transfer and Division Order, dated January 18, 2024, addressed to Chevron Products Company, or any other royalties payable to the Sellers or their Affiliates, (C) any rights with respect to the Preferred Units or under the OpCo A&R LLC Agreement (as defined in the MIPA), (D) the Board Designation Agreement (as defined in the MIPA), (E) any rights under Section 6.20 and Section 6.21 of the MIPA and (E) any rights as a holder of Class A Common Stock (the “Seller Excluded Matters”). Subject to Section 2(c) below, this is a full and final release of all Seller Released Claims and is intended to be and shall be deemed for all purposes to be as broad and comprehensive with respect to such matters as permitted under Law. Accordingly, effective as of the Amendment 3 Effective Date, the Seller Releasing Parties shall have been deemed to have waived any provisions, rights, and benefit conferred by any Law providing that a general release does not extend to unknown claims.

The Seller Releasing Parties shall notify the Purchasers in writing within five (5) days of any initiation of, or request to participate in, any such claim, lawsuit, or other Legal Proceeding. The Sellers agree that if any Seller Releasing Party, or any party acting on behalf of any Seller Releasing Party, commences any legal proceeding regarding the subject matter of the Seller Released Claims and any Purchaser Released Party is made a party to such legal proceeding, the Sellers will join with the Purchaser Released Party to take all actions necessary to have such Legal Proceeding immediately dismissed.
(c) Nothing in this Section 2 shall prohibit any of the Sellers from enforcing the terms of this Amendment, the PSA, the Purchaser Documents or the respective obligations of the Purchasers, individually or collectively, under this Amendment, the PSA and the Purchaser Documents, to the fullest extent permitted by Law.
(d) Except as expressly set forth in Section 2(f) or with respect to intentional common law fraud, effective as of the Amendment 3 Effective Date, each Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its current and/or former officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, predecessors, successors, attorneys, assigns, and any other Person who may assert a claim by or through such Purchaser (collectively, the “Purchaser Releasing Parties”), hereby forever release, discharge, and acquit the Sellers and their respective current and/or former officers, directors, members, partners, employees, equity holders, agents, representatives, Affiliates, predecessors, successors, attorneys, and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) of and from any claims, demands, disputes, rights, actions or causes of action, orders, obligations, debts and liabilities, arbitration, lawsuits or Legal Proceedings of any kind, nature or description whatsoever, whether direct, derivative, individual, representative, or in any other capacity, upon any legal or equitable theory (tort, contract or otherwise), whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, concealed or hidden, suspected or unsuspected, which such Purchaser Releasing Party ever had, now has or may have arising out of or related to (i) the Company, OpCo, Pogo Resources, LH Operating, LLC and their Affiliates and their business, management, assets, and operations (including with respect to LH Operating, LLC employee compensation claims) or (ii) the MIPA, in each case from the beginning of the world to the Amendment 3 Effective Date (collectively, the “Purchaser Released Claims”).

Exhibit 99.1
EON Resources Inc. Announces
Amendment to Agreement with Seller
Reduces Cash Obligation by $1.5 million; and
Reduces Stock Requirement by 1.5 million Shares;
Closing Expected by end of July 2025
HOUSTON, TX / June 17, 2025 / EON Resources Inc. (NYSE American: EONR) (“EON” or the “Company”) announced that on June 13, 2025 the Company amended the Purchase, Sale, Termination and Exchange Agreement dated February 10, 2025 with Pogo Royalty, LLC (“Pogo” or “Seller”). Closing on the terms of the amendment will result in further improvement to the restructuring of EON’s balance sheet by reducing the total cash obligation of the Company to Seller by $1.5 million (from $22.0 million down to $20.5 million), and reducing the stock issuance consideration to Seller by 1.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock (down from 3.0 million Class A shares). A copy of the Original Agreement Press Release dated February 11, 2025 appears on the Company’s website.
The amendment also extends the outside closing date to September 15, 2025. However, the Company currently expects to close in July or early August with Enstream Capital Management, LLC (“Enstream”). Enstream is well underway to complete the due diligence efforts, and funding is expected to follow a few weeks later at the conclusion of final documents. The Enstream funding is a revenue sharing and volumetric funding arrangement as described in the Enstream LOI Press Release dated March 20, 2025, which may be accessed on the Company’s website.
Due to weakened oil prices over the past two and half months, Enstream reduced their original funding for the cash obligations to the Seller and to the senior secured lender, First International Bank & Trust (“FIBT”). The Seller and FIBT cooperatively worked with EON to achieve an excellent outcome for all parties to retire these obligations.
Key aspects of the agreement with Seller (as amended) are:
● | The retirement of a promissory note to Seller in the original principal amount of $15.0 million plus accrued interest of approximately $4.0 million for the amended cash obligation of $7.0 million (reduced from $8.0 million in the February 2025 agreement). |
● | The purchase from Seller of a 10% Overriding Royalty Interest (“ORRI”) in the Company’s oil field property for the amended cash obligation of $13.5 million (reduced from $14.0 million in the February 2025 agreement). |
● | The repurchase of 100% of preferred units held by Seller in EON’s subsidiary that has a redemption value of approximately $27 million. The amended purchase obligation is 1.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock (reduced from 3.0 million shares in the February 2025 agreement). |
● | The total consideration payable to Pogo/Seller in connection with the restructuring consists of the issuance of 1.5 million shares of EON’s Class A Common Stock to the Seller together with $20.5 million in cash inclusive of and for the purchase of the ORRI in the Company’s oil field property and satisfaction of approximately $40 million in debt and other obligations. |
● | The agreement, as amended, is subject to various closing conditions, including, without limitation, that the Company obtain adequate financing to fund the cash consideration portion, and that the agreement shall terminate if the closing does not take place by September 15, 2025. The amendment contains mutual general releases that became effective June 13, 2025, upon execution of the amendment. |
“Over the past 18 months, EON has continued to develop its Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field by reinvesting available cash flow into field enhancements,” said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of EON. “The overhang from our De-SPAC transaction in terms of one-time expenses, and a very complicated and burdened balance sheet, has restricted our ability to unlock the underlying potential and value of our assets. This transaction should create immediate value for our stockholders.”
About the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field Property
LH Operating, LLC (“LHO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of EON, operates its holdings in New Mexico of oil and gas waterflood production comprising 13,700 contiguous leasehold acres, 342 producing wells and 207 injection wells situated on 20 federal and 3 state leases in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field. The Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field is located on the Northwest Shelf of the prolific Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico.
Leasehold rights of LHO include the Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg and San Andres intervals that range from as shallow as 1,500 feet to 4,000 feet in depth. The December 2024 reserve report from our third-party engineer, Haas and Cobb Petroleum Consultants, LLC (“Haas & Cobb” or “Cobb”), reflects LHO to have proven reserves of approximately 14.0 million barrels of oil and 2.8 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The mapped original-oil-in-place (“OOIP”) in the LHO leasehold is approximately 876 million barrels of oil in the Grayburg and San Andres intervals and 80 million barrels in the Seven Rivers interval for a total OOIP of approximately 956,000,000 barrels of oil.
Our primary production is currently from the Seven Rivers zone. In addition to proven reserves, the Company believes it may access an additional 34 million barrels of oil by adding perforations in the Grayburg and San Andres formations. With proven oil reserves of over 15 million barrels, combined with the potential 34 million additional barrels from the Grayburg and San Andres zones, LHO should produce oil and a revenue stream for more than two decades with a low decline rate.
