Robert M. (“Rob”) Roosa, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our continued success consolidating core minerals is clearly demonstrated by our largest acquisition to date. Our patient and disciplined approach allowed us to capture the opportunity to significantly increase our Midland Basin footprint under highly active, top performing operators including Endeavor, Pioneer and ExxonMobil, who in total are operating more than 40 rigs in the basin.

I personally view this acquisition as the highest quality Midland Basin package we’ve evaluated to date given both the diversification across two of the most prolific geologic counties in the lower 48 and the high-quality operator composition. As a result, we anticipate this acquisition will generate industry leading activity as well as strong production and cash flow growth. We’ve purposefully maintained a conservative balance sheet and have continued to high grade our portfolio to maintain flexibility to capture these types of opportunities, and subsequent to closing the acquisition still maintain flexibility with net debt to LQA EBITDA at less than 0.6x.”
