Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 18, 2026, Atlas Energy Solutions Shackelford 1, LLC (“Shackelford”), a Texas limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas Energy Solutions Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “BoP Purchase Agreement”) with Wyoming Machinery Company d/b/a Energy Solutions, a Wyoming corporation (“WMC”), for the purchase of balance-of-plant equipment (the “BoP Equipment”) for a specific power generation project.
Under the BoP Purchase Agreement, WMC will procure and make available for shipment between June 2027 and December 2027 the BoP Equipment for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $340.5 million, payable in installments from September 2026 through May 2027, with 10% of the purchase price withheld until WMC completes its obligations under the BoP Purchase Agreement.
Shackelford may terminate the BoP Purchase Agreement as to all or any portion of the BoP Equipment for convenience upon not less than 14-day prior written notice, in which case Shackelford must pay amounts then due and WMC’s documented cancellation costs and reasonable internal costs, overhead and profit attributable to work performed through termination, subject to WMC’s obligation to mitigate any such costs.
The BoP Purchase Agreement is supported by a cost reimbursement agreement entered into by Shackelford with a leading frontier AI lab, which is also the intended off taker for the power generation project.
The foregoing description of the BoP Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the BoP Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 18, 2026, Shackelford also entered into a separate Purchase Agreement (the “Generator Purchase Agreement”) with WMC for the purchase of approximately 328 megawatts (“MWs”) of power generation equipment, associated equipment and project engineering services (the “Generator Equipment”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $273.0 million, payable in installments from September 2026 through January 2028. The purchase price includes tariffs, which are passed through at the actual amounts charged by Caterpillar Inc. (“Caterpillar”) and paid or payable by WMC and are subject to adjustment for any increase, decrease, exemption, refund or credit in the applicable tariff amounts. The Generator Equipment is scheduled to be ready to ship between April 2027 and February 2028.
Subject to confirmation from Caterpillar, the execution of the Generator Purchase Agreement satisfies a portion of the purchase obligation of Atlas Energy Solutions ProjectCo, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“ProjectCo”), under the previously announced Global Framework Agreement between ProjectCo and Caterpillar.
