Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 1, 2025, Viking Energy Group, Inc. (“Viking”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camber Energy, Inc. (“Camber” or the “Company”), entered into a Share Subscription Agreement (the “SSA”) with T&T Power Group Inc. (“T&T”), Remora EQ LP (“Remora”), Simmax Corp. (“Simmax”), and Simson-Maxwell Ltd. (“Simson”), a Canadian federal corporation. The SSA relates to a restructuring of the ownership of Simson that results in Camber ceasing to have a controlling interest in Simson. As such, Camber will deconsolidate Simson from its consolidated financial statements effective April 1, 2025.
Under the SSA, T&T agreed to (i) subscribe for 952 Class A Common Shares of Simson (the “Subscription Shares”) for an aggregate subscription price of approximately CAD $2.28 million; (ii) purchase 903 Class A Common Shares from Remora (the “Remora Shares”) for an agreed purchase price; and (iii) purchase 681 Class A Common Shares from Simmax (the “Simmax Shares”) for an agreed purchase price. T&T also agreed to provide up to CAD $3.0 million in additional working capital to Simson on closing or at such time as is reasonably required to meet the cash requirements of Simson, and to repay on or within a reasonable period following the closing amounts owing under Simson’s then outstanding senior secured credit facilities.
T&T acquired the Subscription Shares by paying the subscription price in cash. T&T acquired the Remora Shares by paying approximately 3.5% of the purchase price in cash and issuing a promissory note for the remaining balance, maturing on December 1, 2025. T&T acquired the Simmax Shares by issuing a promissory note to Simmax, also maturing on December 1, 2025.
Following the closing of the transactions described above (collectively, the “Simson Share Transactions”), T&T and Viking are the only remaining shareholders of Simson. T&T owns 51% of Simson’s issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares, and Viking owns the remaining 49%. Viking did not sell or purchase any shares in connection with the Simson Share Transactions; however, Viking’s ownership decreased from approximately 60.5% to 49%.
As a result of the reduction in Viking’s ownership interest and ceasing to have control over Simson, Camber will no longer consolidate Simson’s financial results in its consolidated financial statements. Beginning April 1, 2025, the Company will instead account for its investment in Simson under the equity method of accounting.
In connection with the closing of the Simson Share Transactions, Viking also entered into a Unanimous Shareholders Agreement (the “USA”) with T&T and Simson. The USA governs the ownership and management of Simson and provides that T&T is entitled to nominate two members to Simson’s board of directors, and Viking is entitled to nominate one member.
The foregoing descriptions of the SSA and USA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the SSA and USA, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
