On and effective April 15, 2025, pursuant to certain provisions contained in the May 31, 2022 membership interest purchase agreement between Xcel and WHP (as amended), the Company and two subsidiaries of WHP entered into a Membership Interest Transfer Agreement, under which Xcel transferred to WHP equity interests equal to 12.5% of the outstanding equity interests of IM Topco.
