The company increased its ownership interest in both the upstream and midstream assets from 51% to 60%, with its share of the unadjusted purchase price now totaling $720 million. To fund this substantial expansion, the company successfully raised $350 million through a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Notably, the preferred stock's conversion price of $21.39 per share is at a significant premium to the current common stock price of $15.98, indicating strong investor confidence in the company's future valuation. Additionally, the company expanded its credit facility by $500 million, increasing its borrowing base and elected commitment to $875 million, providing substantial liquidity.
