Key Details
- Closing date: June 12, 2026; press release furnished June 15, 2026.
- Purchase price: 241,803 shares of common stock + $110,000,000 cash (adjustable).

Why It Matters
This is a material acquisition that expands NGS’s operations and adds contingent royalty obligations. The deal was funded with a mix of cash and equity and was enabled by an increase in NGS’s revolving credit capacity, which may affect the company’s leverage and liquidity profile. Financial statements and pro forma financial information related to the acquisition will be filed by amendment within the SEC’s required 71-day period, which investors should review for impact on earnings, debt levels and share count.
