Acquisitions | Acquisitions Franklin Mountain Energy (“FME”) Acquisition On January 27, 2025, the Company closed on its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity ownership interests of a group of privately owned oil and gas exploration and production companies with assets and operations in the Delaware Basin of New Mexico (the “FME Interests”) for total consideration of $2.5 billion, which included $1.7 billion in cash and the issuance of 28,190,682 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $785 million based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of the FME Interests were recorded at their respective fair values as of the effective closing date of the acquisition. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Management continues to refine the preliminary valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed and expects to finalize the purchase price allocation in first quarter of 2026. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the FME Interests requires judgment and certain assumptions to be made. The most significant fair value estimates relate to the valuation of the oil and gas properties and gathering and pipeline systems. Oil and gas properties and gathering and pipeline systems were valued using an income and market approach utilizing Level 3 inputs including internally generated production and development data and estimated price and cost estimates. The following table represents the preliminary allocation of the total purchase price of the FME Interests to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition:
