Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On January 11, 2017, Energy 11 Operating Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy 11, L.P. (together, the “Partnership”), closed on the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests (“Transferred Interests”) of Kaiser-Whiting, LLC (“Seller”), which represents an additional approximate 11% non-operated working interest in approximately 216 existing producing wells and approximately 257 future development locations in the Sanish field located in Mountrail County, North Dakota (collectively, the “Sanish Field Assets”). The Partnership had secured the right and option to purchase the Transferred Interests on November 3, 2016 and exercised the option to purchase on December 29, 2016, as previously disclosed in the Partnership’s Current Reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 4, 2016 and January 5, 2017, respectively.
Pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”), dated January 4, 2017 by and among the Partnership, the Seller and the owners of all the limited liability company interests of the Seller, the purchase price for the Transferred Interests was $130.0 million, subject to customary adjustments, consisting of (i) the application of the cash payments previously made of $10.0 million, (ii) payment of $80.0 million in additional cash and (iii) delivery of a promissory note (“Seller Note”) payable to the manager of the Seller in an original principal amount equal to $40.0 million, as discussed further in Item 2.03.
With the closing of the purchase, the Partnership now owns an approximate 22-23% non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets. Whiting Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:WLL), a publicly traded oil and gas company, operates the Sanish Field Assets.
The description of the Purchase Agreement set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto. Audited Financial Statements of the Seller for the three years ended December 31, 2015, and Unaudited Financial Statements of the Seller as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, along with the Partnership’s pro forma financial statements reflecting the additional purchase of the Sanish Field Assets as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015, were filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 in Item 9.01 of the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on January 5, 2017.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On January 11, 2017, the Partnership executed the Seller Note in favor of the manager of the Seller (Kaiser-Francis Management Company, L.L.C. as agent for the Seller, “Agent”) in the original principal amount of $40.0 million. The Seller Note bears interest at 5% per annum and is payable in full no later than April 30, 2017 (“Maturity Date”). If the Partnership is not in default under the Seller Note and upon notice to the Agent as required in the Seller Note, the Partnership shall have the right to extend the Maturity Date to July 31, 2017, or if the Partnership were to extend its best-efforts offering beyond April 24, 2017, it would have the option to extend the Maturity Date to October 31, 2017 (“Second Extension”), subject to additional conditions. There is no penalty for prepayment of the Seller Note. Payment of the Seller Note is secured by a mortgage and liens on one-half of the Partnership’s ownership of the Sanish Field Assets in customary form.
The first interest payment is due January 31, 2017 and subsequent interest is due on the last day of each month until the Maturity Date. In addition to interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Seller Note, the Partnership is required to make principal payments monthly in an amount equal to a minimum of 80% of the net proceeds the Partnership receives from the sale of its equity securities. In the event the Partnership exercises its right to extend the Maturity Date under the Second Extension, the Partnership would be required to make monthly principal payments in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 80% of the net proceeds the Partnership receives from the sale of its equity securities or (ii) $5,000,000, due on the monthly payment date commencing in May 2017 and continuing through the extended maturity date. In addition, if the Partnership sells any of its owned property, the Partnership is required to make a principal payment equal to 100% of the net proceeds of such sale until the principal amount of the Seller Note is paid in full.
The description of the Seller Note set forth above is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Seller Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
