Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement | ||||
On March 9, 2026, Diversified Energy Company (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with certain affiliates of EIG Global Energy Partners (the “Selling Stockholders”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Underwriter”), relating to the offer and sale (the “Offering”) of 7,501,585 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), by the Selling Stockholders.
On March 11, 2026, the Selling Stockholders completed the Offering of the 7,501,585 shares of Common Stock, which includes 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock that were repurchased by the Company at a price per share equal to the price at which the Underwriter purchased the shares from the Selling Stockholders in the Offering. The closing of the share repurchase occurred substantially concurrently with closing of the Offering. The Company did not sell any shares of Common Stock in the Offering and did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered by the Selling Stockholders.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, closing conditions and termination provisions. The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to contribute to payments the Underwriter may be required to make in the event of any such liabilities.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
