Verde Bio Holdings Announces Opportunistic Divestiture of Select Properties
FRISCO, TX, September 21, 2022, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire – Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: VBHI) (www.verdebh.com), a growing oil and gas company, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with a private buyer for the sale of two of its assets for a combined sales price of $1,068,300. The transaction is scheduled to close on or before October 21, 2022, with an effective date of December 1, 2022, pending buyer due diligence.
Verde Bio Holdings will achieve approximately a 78% profit with the sales price alone, which combined with revenue generated from holding the assets for a little over a year equates to a significant return to the company on its investment in the assets. In addition to the profits and previous revenue mentioned above, Verde also will receive all revenue of the assets related to production from the wells through November, 2022.
“This is a great example of solid execution of our business model,” Mr. Cox, CEO of Verde, stated. “Our strategic acquisition strategy allowed us to purchase these assets at historically low prices and then monetize them as commodity prices rose to historical highs. The high commodity price environment allowed us to analyze our properties and identify out of favor assets to sell as well as key areas to reinvest the profits. We will continue to be opportunistic for our shareholders when a situation, such as this, presents itself. Our goal is to build a high-performance portfolio with active management of our assets. At times, this will allow us to prune our lower performing properties and reinvest the capital into better performing assets with higher upside potential of new drilling and development. As we have been cultivating a large pipeline of potential acquisitions in the buy-side markets we have also been focused on developing a sell-side market in retail channels including the 1031 Exchange markets.”
“We plan to reinvest all proceeds from this profitable transaction, and we continue to evaluate a number of other potential acquisitions. We pride ourselves on the ability to be both creative and flexible in this highly lucrative energy market. We are very pleased with our portfolio of assets, and the combined growth in revenue and development of new wells while continuing to analyze our portfolio for opportunities of potential divestment of other non-core assets at significant profits.”
