Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
TRT Governance Agreement
Effective February 18, 2022, Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated letter agreement (the “New TRT Governance Agreement”), by and among TRT Holdings, Inc., Robert Rowling, Cresta Investments, LLC, Cresta Greenwood, LLC (together, “TRT”) and the Company and, (i) solely for the purpose of the second sentence of Section 1(e) therein, Michael Frantz, Mike Popejoy and Ernie Easley, and (ii) solely for the purpose of acknowledging and agreeing to the deletion of Section 2 of that certain amended and restated letter agreement, dated as of May 15, 2018, Bahram Akradi.
The New TRT Governance Agreement amends and restates the Company’s prior amended and restated letter agreement with the same parties, dated May 15, 2018. Among other things, the New TRT Governance Agreement (i) reduces the number of directors TRT is permitted to nominate to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) from three to one, (ii) eliminates the requirement that at least one member of the Board nominated by TRT serve on each committee of the Board and (iii) provides that if, at any time, TRT and its affiliates collectively beneficially own less than 5.0% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, TRT will no longer be entitled to any representation on the Board.
The foregoing description of the New TRT Governance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document, which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Preferred Stock Repurchases
Effective February 18, 2022, the Company entered into three separate stock repurchase agreements with entities affiliated with TRT, and two other third-parties, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to repurchase an aggregate of 71,894 shares (21,894 of which are from TRT) of the Company’s 6.500% Series A Perpetual Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), on identical financial terms from each party for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9.5 million in cash. The Company intends to complete the repurchases of Preferred Stock on February 25, 2022. These repurchases are expected to reduce the Company’s annual preferred dividend payments by approximately $467,000 and additionally reduce the Company’s diluted common stock share count by approximately 316,000 shares.
