Supports Expected Dividend Increase to $1.50 per Share
Establishes Land-and-Expand Platform for Consolidation in Arkoma Basin
Presidio Production Company (NYSE:FTW) ("Presidio" or the "Company"), a yield-focused, differentiated oil and gas operator in the United States focused on the acquisition and optimization of producing oil and natural gas wells, without drilling, today announced the execution of definitive purchase and sale agreements to acquire the Canyon Creek assets for approximately $83 million (the "Transaction") from companies controlled by Vortus Investments and additional sellers (the "Sellers"). The Company previously announced a letter of intent for the Transaction on February 24, 2026.
The Transaction is expected to be funded with $60 million of cash and 2,173,913 shares of Presidio equity to be issued to the Sellers, subject to customary closing and post-closing adjustments. The cash will be funded using Presidio's previously announced, first of its kind, $1.0 billion Goldman Sachs ABS Warehouse Facility, and cash on hand.
Presidio expects the Canyon Creek assets to generate levered equity returns exceeding 20%, while expanding the Company's operating footprint into an adjacent basin and establishing a platform for future consolidation consistent with its proven land-and-expand strategy.
The Transaction is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, and would represent Presidio's first completed acquisition as a public company. Consistent with prior disclosures, the Company believes the Transaction will support an increase to its anticipated annual dividend from $1.35 to $1.50 per share.
