Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 31, 2018, certain wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, Seller) of Halcón Resources Corporation (the Company) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with an affiliate of WaterBridge Resources LLC (the Purchaser) pursuant to which Seller agreed to sell its water infrastructure assets located in the Delaware Basin (the Water Assets) to Purchaser for a total purchase price of up to $325 million, consisting of $200 million payable in cash upon closing and up to an additional $125 million payable on a deferred basis over a five year period based on the Sellers ability to meet certain annual incentive thresholds relating to the number of wells connected to the Water Assets. The ability of Seller to achieve the incentive thresholds will be driven by, among other things, the Companys development program which will consider future market conditions and is subject to change. The purchase price is subject to adjustment for (i) operating expenses, capital expenditures and revenues between the effective date and the closing date and (ii) environmental defects, if any.
The effective date of the transaction is October 1, 2018 and the transaction is expected to close in late-December 2018, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions set forth in the Agreement. The Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by Seller and Purchaser and contemplates a transition services period whereby the Seller would operate the Water Assets for approximately two months following the closing and also operate the Water Assets in Monument Draw for approximately six months after closing in order to install additional water service and treating infrastructure. In addition, the parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith prior to closing a definitive agreement relating to certain water supply assets. While the parties have a non-binding agreement relating to the material business terms of such water supply agreement, if they are unable to agree on a definitive agreement prior to closing then certain water supply assets will remain with Seller and $30 million of the cash purchase price will be retained by Seller until such time as a definitive agreement is executed. At closing, the Seller will dedicate all of the produced water from its oil and gas wells within the Companys Monument Draw, Hackberry Draw and West Quito Draw operating areas to Purchaser. Purchaser will be entitled to receive a current market price, subject to annual adjustments for inflation, in exchange for the transportation, disposal and treatment of such produced water, and assuming a definitive agreement related to the water supply assets is executed, Purchaser will be entitled to receive a market price for the supply of freshwater and recycled produced water to Seller.
