Item 8.01, | Other Events.

In October 2018 the Company offered to purchase the interests of all third-party participants in the drilling programs involving certain of the Company’s wells in Kansas. The Company’s offer was unsolicited by any participant. All six of the participants, including Hoactzin Partners, L.P. (the controlling person of which is Peter E. Salas, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors) were offered identical terms for purchase of their interests, consisting of an estimate by management of the discounted present value of future expected net proceeds of production attributable to their respective interests in the drilling program wells. Management deemed the offer to be reasonable and in the range the Company may make for existing production of this kind from any third party in normal course of business. Five of the six participants accepted the Company’s offer as presented, including Hoactzin Partners, L.P., the participant with the largest interest in the program wells. The interests of those five participants accepting the terms offered by the Company were terminated effective November 1, 2018. The one participant that did not accept the Company’s offer elected to maintain its drilling program interest representing only about 2% of the net revenue interest in applicable program wells. The total consideration paid by the Company to all participants was approximately $164,000, of which about $134,000 was paid to Hoactzin Partners, L.P. for its interest. As a result, the Company increased its proved reserves by the amount attributable to all terminating participants’ reserves, as well as produced volumes of crude oil and associated net revenues. None of these increases are significant in amount or material to the Company’s operations or results. The Company also simplified the accounting and reporting of the Company’s interest in the drilling program wells as a result of termination of almost all of the participants’ interests, including all interest in those wells owned by Hoactzin Partners, L.P.
