Master Services Agreements
A significant shareholder has provided the Company with marketing services, patent administration services and technology maintenance services related to the development of the Net Power Cycle. These totals are included in General and administrative – related party on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Another shareholder supports the Company with regard to general business oversight and with the operation of the Demonstration Plant. These totals are reflected in Research and development – related party on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company had $230 and $142 in current liabilities payable to related parties as of June 30, 2024 (Successor) and December 31, 2023 (Successor), respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these services. These related party payables are unsecured and are due on demand.
Engineering Support Provided by Former Board Member
A shareholder, who is also a former board member, supported the Company with regard to general business oversight and with the operation of the Demonstration Plant. These expenses are reflected in Research and development – related party on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss prior to the Business Combination. The counterparty ceased being a related party on June 8, 2023 upon completion of the Business Combination.
BHES JDA
On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Joint Development Agreement with affiliates of BHES, which is a shareholder (the “Original JDA”). The Original JDA's counterparties subsequently amended the agreement's terms on June 30, 2022 and December 13, 2022 (the “Amended and Restated JDA”, and collectively with the Original JDA, the “BHES JDA”). The Amended and Restated JDA represents a contract that engages BHES to invest in, develop and deploy the NET Power Cycle in collaboration with the Company. The Amended and Restated JDA entitles BHES to payments of cash and equity in exchange for services related to the development and commercialization of the technology. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Company records the measurement of services provided by BHES within Research and development on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Prior to June 8, 2023 (Successor), the Company recorded costs incurred under the BHES within Research and development – related party on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss due to the size of their ownership of the Company and because an employee of BHES served on the Company's Board of Directors. Subsequent to the Business Combination, neither BHES nor its affiliates occupy seats on the Company's Board of Directors and its percentage of ownership fell below 5%; therefore, BHES no longer qualifies as a related party after June 7, 2023 (Predecessor).
Lease
Reference Note 13 — Leases for a discussion of the lease with Occidental Petroleum Corporation (“Occidental Petroleum”).
Option Settlement
One of the Company's shareholders owned an option to purchase up to 711,111 membership interests from NET Power, LLC if NET Power, LLC met certain performance conditions, which it did not achieve prior to the close of the Business Combination. Immediately prior to the close of the Business Combination, the option holder received 247,655 NET Power, LLC membership interests with a value of approximately $79,054 in exchange for retiring the purchase option. The membership interests converted into 7,905,279 Class A OpCo Units and a corresponding quantity of shares of Class B Common Stock in conjunction with the Business Combination. The loss generated from the settlement of the share purchase option is recorded as Option settlement – related party expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
