- Offer now scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on Tuesday, May 12, 2020
XTO Energy Inc. (“XTO Energy”) today announced that it has
extended the offering period of its previously announced tender
offer to purchase all outstanding units of beneficial interest (the
“Units”) in Hugoton Royalty Trust (OTCQX: HGTXU, the “Trust”) at a
price of $0.20 per Unit, net to the seller in cash, without
interest and subject to any withholding of taxes. The tender offer
is now scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
Tuesday, May 12, 2020, unless the tender offer is further extended
or earlier terminated in accordance with the terms set forth in the
Tender Offer Statement. The tender offer was extended to allow
additional time, in light of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,
for unitholders to complete and return the transmittal
documentation and to give instructions to their brokers.
As of one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, at the
end of the day on April 28, 2020, the last business day prior to
the announcement of the extension of the tender offer, 5,854,525
Units (excluding 2,451 Units with respect to which “Notices of
Guaranteed Delivery” were delivered) had been validly tendered and
not withdrawn, representing approximately 14.6% of the outstanding
Units. Unitholders of the Trust who have already tendered their
Units do not need to re-tender their Units or take any other action
as a result of the extension of the expiration date of the tender
offer.
The tender offer is being made pursuant to the tender offer
materials (including an Offer to Purchase, a related Letter of
Transmittal and certain other offer documents) in the Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO (together with any amendments or
supplements thereto, the “Tender Offer Statement”) filed by XTO
Energy with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on April 1, 2020, as amended. Consummation of the
tender offer remains subject to the conditions described in the
Tender Offer Statement, including that there be validly tendered
and not withdrawn a number of Units (excluding Units with respect
to which “Notices of Guaranteed Delivery” were delivered) that
represents at least 80% of the Units outstanding as of the date of
acceptance and completion of the tender offer.
