| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Zena Energy L.L.C., (“Zena”), which is a subsidiary within the Chemical Business of LSB Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), has purchased from Hat Creek Energy LLC (“Hat Creek”) certain working interests in natural gas properties located in the Marcellus Shale in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. The purchase represents an increase from 7.7% to 9.7% in the average net revenue interest for proven reserves in the same natural gas properties purchased by Zena in October 2012. The purchase price paid by Zena was $9.2 million in cash, which was funded using the Company’s existing working capital. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated August 28, 2013 (the “Agreement”), between Hat Creek, as seller, and Citrus Energy Appalachia, LLC, Troy Energy Investments, LLC, and Zena, as buyers, to be effective as of July 1, 2013. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnifications.
The Company’s Chemical Business purchases a significant amount of natural gas as feedstock for the production of anhydrous ammonia. The acquisition of the additional working interests in the natural gas properties is part of the Chemical Business’s hedging strategy to protect against rising natural gas prices for a limited amount of the Company’s natural gas requirements. The Company is not the operator of these natural gas properties.
The foregoing summary description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
