Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Purchase and Sale Agreement
On June 17, 2025, EON Energy, LLC (“EON Energy”), a wholly owned subsidiary of EON Resources Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with WPP NM, L.L.C. and Northwest Central, L.L.C. (collectively the “Seller”) to acquire all of their respective estates and mineral rights created by the oil and gas leases and mineral estates in the South Justis Field located in the Permian Basin in Lea County, New Mexico (the “Leases”), (ii) all oil, gas, water injection wells, water disposal and other wells located on the Leases or on lands pooled therewith, together with (iii) all of Seller’s interest in the rights, appurtenances, contracts, personal property, and records related thereto (collectively, the “Assets”). The transactions contemplated by the PSA were consummated at a closing held on June 20, 2025 (the “Closing”).
In consideration of EON Energy’s purchase of the Assets, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares (the “Purchase Shares”) of its Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), to the Seller, with such Purchase Shares having an agreed upon deemed value of $1.00 per share. The Purchase Shares are subject to adjustments following Closing as follows: (i) reduction by the proceeds received by the Seller between June 1, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) and the date of Closing, (ii) reduction by any ad valorem and similar production taxes payable with respect to the Assets for all periods ending on or prior to the Effective Date to the extent not paid prior to the Closing Date, (iii) reduction by an amount equal to the Allocated Values (as defined in the PSA) of any Assets affected by a Title Defect (as defined in the PSA), and (iv) increase by the value of all merchantable oil in storage above the pipeline connection at the Effective Date that is credited to the Assets.
Within 60 business days following the Closing, EON Energy agreed to cause the Company to cause the registration of the Purchase Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by filing a registration statement on appropriate form (Form S-1 or Form S-3) covering the resale by the Seller of the Purchase Shares to permit their resale under Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchase Shares are also subject to a leak out provision for a one-year period from the date of issuance which prohibits the Seller from selling the Purchase Shares, together with any other shares of Class A Common Stock that the Seller and/or it’s assigns may own, in any one trading day in an amount that would exceed ten percent (10%) of the average daily volume of all shares of Class A Common Stock traded during the immediately preceding 30-day trading period.
The PSA also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of EON Energy and the Seller.
The foregoing description of the PSA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the PSA, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Master Services Agreement
On June 17, 2025, LH Operating, LLC (“LHO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) with Corsair Well Services, LLC (the “Contractor”). Pursuant to the MSA, the Contractor agreed to provide workover services in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field operated by LHO and the South Justis Field acquired by EON Energy (the “Services”) for an initial period of four months (the “Initial Period”), to continue thereafter until LHO has no further Credit (as defined below) with the Contractor.
LHO agreed to (i) prepay an initial $500,000 in cash to the Contractor, and (ii) cause the Company to issue 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Service Shares”) to the Contractor with an agreed upon deemed value of $1.00 per share, each to be credited to LHO’s account with the Contractor (the “Credit”). The Contractor will provide the Services without cost or consideration to LHO for the first 30 days following commencement of the Services, and thereafter, the Services will be provided at agreed upon rates against the Credit.
If the Contractor sells any Service Shares prior to full application of the Credit, the actual gross price per share received by the Contractor for the sale of the Service Shares shall replace the $1.00 per share agreed upon deemed value for purposes of the Credit. In addition, if the Contractor sells any Service Shares at prices insufficient to cover the full amount of any invoices due for Services performed, then LHO will pay the Contractor in cash the shortfall between (i) the gross proceeds actually received by the Contractor from the sale of Service Shares, and (ii) the total amount of unpaid invoice(s) owed to the Contractor.
Within 60 business days following execution of the MSA, LHO agreed to cause the Company to cause the registration of the Service Shares with the SEC by filing a registration statement on appropriate form (Form S-1 or Form S-3) covering the resale by the Seller of the Service Shares to permit their resale under Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If the Service Shares are not timely registered, then LHO agreed to pay in cash for any Services provided and the Contractor will be obligated to remit Service Shares back to the Company in the amount of cash paid (using a $1.00 per share value). The Service Shares are also subject to a leak out provision for a one-year period from the date of issuance which prohibits the Contractor from selling the Service Shares, together with any other shares of Class A Common Stock that the Contractor and/or it’s assigns may own, in any one trading day in an amount that would exceed ten percent (10%) of the average daily volume of all shares of Class A Common Stock traded during the immediately preceding 30-day trading period.
The foregoing description of the MSA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MSA, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

PURCHASE CONSIDERATION
2.1 PURCHASE CONSIDERATION. Conditioned upon the approval of this Agreement by the Board of Directors of EON, the purchase consideration for the Assets (“Purchase Consideration”) shall, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.2, be payable at Closing by the grant and issuance of 1,000,000 restricted shares of Class A common stock (“Purchase Shares”) of EON Resources Inc. (“EON”), NYSE American trading symbol EONR, to Seller and/or its assigns subject to a leak out restriction which would prohibit Seller and/or its assigns from the selling of Purchase Shares, together with other shares that Seller and/or its assigns may own, in any one trading day that would exceed ten percent (10%) of the average daily volume of all EON Class A Common shares traded during the immediately preceding 30-day trading period. For the purposes of this purchase and sale, the Purchase Shares will have an agreed deemed value of $1.00 per share. The Purchase Shares will be restricted stock when granted and issued at Closing; however, Purchaser shall cause all Purchase Shares to be registered as fully tradeable and unrestricted stock within sixty (60) business days of Closing in an S-4 or other appropriate filing. Seller and/or its assigns is advised that upon Closing, Seller and/or its assigns may own in excess of 5% of all issued and outstanding shares of EON. Seller’s ownership percentage will require certain filing and reporting requirements with the SEC and NYSE American Exchange.
2.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO PURCHASE CONSIDERATION. The Purchase Consideration for the Assets shall be adjusted as follows and the resulting amount shall be referred to herein as the “Adjusted Purchase Consideration”:
| (a) | The Purchase Shares and any Shares used for adjustments purposes shall have an agreed deemed value of $1.00 per share regardless of the date of adjustment to the Purchase Consideration; |
| (b) | Reduced by the aggregate amount of the following described proceeds received by Seller between the Effective Time and the Closing Date (with the full period between the Effective Time and the Closing Date referred to as the “Adjustment Period”: (i) for the sale of oil, gas, liquids or other associated minerals (net of any applicable royalties or other lease burdens, marketing, gathering and transportation costs and production, severance or sales taxes not reimbursed to Seller by the purchaser of production) produced from the Assets during the Adjustment Period, and (ii) for the sale, salvage or other disposition during the Adjustment Period of any property, equipment or rights included in the Assets without Purchaser having received full payment therefor; |
| (c) | Reduced by an amount established pursuant to Section 10.4 for ad valorem and similar production taxes payable with respect to the Assets for all periods ending on or prior to the Effective Time or prorated to the Effective Time to the extent not paid prior to the Closing Date, if and only if Purchaser expressly assumes the responsibility for and agrees to pay such taxes when due and indemnifies Seller therefrom; |
| (d) | Reduced by an amount equal to the value of any Exclusion Adjustment or Defect Adjustment as defined in Section 3.4(b) or 3.5; and |
| (e) | Increased by the amount equal to the value of all merchantable oil in storage above the pipeline connection at the Effective Time that is credited to the Assets (value to be market or contract price in effect as of the Effective Time net of any production royalties, transportation costs and of any production, severance or sales taxes); |
| (f) | Further adjusted by any other amount agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. |
2.3 PAYMENT OF ADJUSTED PURCHASE PRICE. The Adjusted Purchase Consideration shall be paid as follows:
| (a) | 150,000 Class A Common shares issued to Seller at Closing shall be held by Purchaser’s Transfer Agent with a restriction in the legend citing that such shares are contractually restricted from sale. The contractual restriction is for the accommodation of any Exclusion Adjustment or Defect Adjustment as defined in Section 3.4(b) or 3.5. The restrictions on such shares shall be removed when the final Purchase Consideration is determined and the final accounting of the Purchase Consideration between Seller and Purchaser shall occur in the amount of Purchase Shares required with no cash to be exchanged. |
| (b) | As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing but not later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth each final adjustment to the Purchase Consideration (including a credit to Seller in the amount held out of the payment made pursuant to Section 2.3(a) above) and showing the calculation of each such adjustment. As soon as reasonably practicable but not later than twenty (20) days following receipt of Purchaser’s statement hereunder and any substantiating records reasonably requested by Seller within such time, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written report containing any changes that Seller proposes be made to such statement. The parties shall undertake to agree on the final statement of the Purchase Consideration no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date and the required payments indicated thereon shall be remitted no later than such time. In the event that the parties cannot reach agreement within such period of time, they shall designate an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to both parties whose decision as to adjustments shall be binding upon both parties and whose costs shall be shared equally between Purchaser and Seller. |
2.4 ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE CONSIDERATION. Schedule 2.4 sets forth the allocation of the Purchase Consideration among certain of the Assets (known as the (“Allocated Values”) of the respective Assets). Seller and Purchaser are obligated to recognize or give effect to such Allocated Values, or any allocation of the Purchase Consideration that may be extrapolated from assignment of such values with respect to Sections 3.4 and 3.5 and Article V.

3.4 TITLE FAILURE; DEFECT ADJUSTMENTS.
(a) “Defective Interests” shall mean that portion of the value of any of the Assets as described on Schedule 2.4 affected by a Title Defect or that Purchaser is otherwise entitled under Section 3.4 or 3.5 to treat as Defective Interests, and of which Seller has been given notice by Purchaser on or before a date which is three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date. Such notice shall be in writing and shall include (i) a description of the Defective Interests, (ii) the basis for the defect that Purchaser believes causes such Assets to be treated as Defective Interests, (iii) the Allocated Values of the Defective Interests, and (iv) the amount by which Purchaser reasonably believes the Allocated Values of the Defective Interests has been reduced and the computations and information upon with Purchaser’s belief is based. Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all Title Defects and any Defective Interests of which Seller has not been given such notice; provided, however that such waiver shall not apply with respect to any defect under Section 3.5(a) if such defect did not exist on or before the date such notice is due, but arose after such date.

(b) PREFERENTIAL RIGHTS. If any preferential right to purchase set forth on Schedule 3.5 is exercised on or before Closing, that portion of the Assets affected by the exercise of or notice of the intent to exercise such preferential right shall be treated as Defective Interests.

As used herein, the term “Casualty Loss” shall mean, with respect to all or any portion of any of the Assets, any destruction by fire, blowout, storm or other casualty prior to Closing. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of any Casualty Loss of which Seller becomes aware.

If Seller elects to repair such Casualty Loss in respect of an Asset not operated by Purchaser and such repair is not completed prior to Closing or the repair completed by Seller does not cause the value of such Asset to be substantially the same as such value prior to the Casualty Loss, or Seller does not elect to repair the Casualty Loss, then Purchaser may elect to (i) cause Seller to retain the Asset affected by the Casualty Loss, and to treat the Casualty Loss as a Defective Interest, in which case Seller shall retain all insurance proceeds relating to the Casualty Loss or (ii) require Seller to (1) transfer to Purchaser such Asset notwithstanding such Casualty Loss, (2) transfer to Purchaser all rights to unpaid insurance proceeds, claims, awards and other payments arising out of such Casualty Loss, and (3) pay to Purchaser all sums paid to Seller as insurance proceeds, awards or other payment arising out of such Casualty Loss.

WHEREAS, Operator is engaged in the business of drilling oil and gas wells or is engaged in the production of oil and gas, and in the course of such operations regularly and customarily enters into contracts with independent contractors for the performance of services relating thereto; and
WHEREAS, Contractor is engaged in the business of providing workover services for oil and gas wells, including but not limited to the furnishing of personnel, equipment, and associated services customarily required for such operations. Contractor shall perform such services on an independent contractor basis and subject to availability, consistent with industry standards and the terms of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises, conditions and agreements herein contained, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and the specifications and special provisions set forth in any exhibits or appendix attached and hereby incorporated, the parties mutually agree as follows:
| 1.0 | NATURE AND TERM OF AGREEMENT |
| 1.1 | This Agreement shall remain in force and effect for an initial period of four (4) months (“Initial Period”) and shall thereafter continue in force and effect until (i) Operator has exhausted use of any credit to which it may be entitled with Contractor, and (ii) if Operator has no further credit with Contractor, canceled by either party by giving the other party ten (10) days’ notice in writing at the respective Email address of said party. If current work extends past ten (10) days, then cancellation shall not be effective until work is completed or terminated in the sole discretion of Operator. All indemnity and insurance provisions shall survive termination. At any time and from time to time during the term of this Contract, when Operator desires work to be performed by Contractor, a representative of the Operator shall give Contractor a request for such work. The request (“Work Order”) may be in the form of a work order, purchase order, letter, memorandum or other written document. Upon acceptance of any such Work Order, Contractor shall thereafter promptly commence and diligently perform the work in accordance with the terms of the Work Order and this Agreement. This Agreement shall control and govern all work performed by Contractor under written Work Orders. Agreements or stipulations in any such Work Order or Contractor originated documentation, including field tickets, purchase orders or credit applications, not in conformity with the terms and provisions hereof or purporting to burden Operator Group with additional obligations or liabilities, shall be null and void. No waiver of any terms, provisions or conditions hereof shall be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Operator and Contractor. Nothing herein shall be construed to obligate Operator to order work from Contractor or obligate Contractor to accept work from Operator; provided, however, Contractor shall be obligated to furnish all services ordered by Operator for which Contractor is capable of performing during the initial period of four (4) months of this Agreement. |
| 1.2 | Operator may, at any time, in its sole discretion terminate work covered by any written Work Order, , issued hereunder. In such event, Contractor shall be entitled to payment at the applicable rates stipulated in Contractor’s rate schedule or bid for services properly rendered up to and including the date of such termination. On notice of such termination, Contractor shall promptly remove its personnel, machinery, and equipment from the location and shall further cooperate with Operator or its designee to ensure an orderly and expeditious transition and completion of the work. |
| 2.0 | LABOR, EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS, SUPPLIES AND SERVICES |
| 2.1 | When agreement is reached by written Work Order, for the services and/or equipment desired or when work is commenced, Contractor shall commence furnishing same at the agreed upon time, and continue such operations diligently and without delay, in conformity with the specifications and requirements contained herein and in such Work Orders. |
| 2.2 | All work or services rendered or performed by Contractor shall be done in accordance with good oilfield servicing practices. |
| 3.0 | PAYMENT |
| 3.1 | Operator shall pay Contractor for all work performed, equipment used, or materials furnished at the agreed-upon rates, without delay, and regardless of Operator’s internal review status. |
| 3.2 | Operator shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) days of the invoice date or, if different, according to agreed upon written payment terms. Any amounts that remain outstanding after such agreed payment terms will accrue interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month or at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. In the event Operator, in good faith, disputes the amount of any invoice, it shall notify Contractor of such dispute and shall pay any undisputed amount of the invoice within said payment terms. No payment of any amount, disputed or undisputed, shall act as a waiver of any of Operator’s rights, including the right to later contest such payment and obtain a reimbursement. Appendix A attached to this Agreement sets forth and describes the Rate Schedule and Equipment List. |
| 4.0 | REPORTS TO BE FURNISHED BY CONTRACTOR |
| 4.1 | Contractor must obtain approval of Operator’s representative by furnishing delivery tickets for materials and supplies for which Contractor is to be reimbursed by Operator. The quantity, description and condition of the materials and supplies and/or services furnished shall be monitored and checked by Contractor, and all delivery tickets shall be acknowledged as to receipt by Contractor’s representative. |
| 4.2 | Contractor shall orally report to Operator, as soon as practicable, followed by an appropriate written report, all accidents or occurrences resulting in death or injuries to Contractor’s employees or third parties, damage to property of Operator or physical damage to Contractor’s property or property of third parties, arising out of or during the course of work to be performed. Contractor shall furnish Operator with a copy of all non-privileged reports made by Contractor to Contractor’s insurer, governmental authorities or to others of such accidents and occurrences. |
| 5.0 | INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP |
In the performance of any work by Contractor for Operator, Contractor shall be deemed to be an independent contractor, with the authority and right to direct and control all of the details of the work, Operator being interested only in the results obtained. However, all work contemplated shall meet the approval of Operator and shall be subject to a general right of inspection. Operator shall have no right or authority to supervise or give instructions to the employees, agents, or representatives of Contractor, and such employees, agents or representatives at all times shall be under the direct and sole supervision and control of Contractor. It is the understanding and intention of the parties hereto that no relationship of master and servant, principal and agent or employer and employee shall exist between Operator and Contractor, its employees, agents, or representatives.
In all cases where Contractor or employees of Contractor (defined to include Contractor’s direct, borrowed, special or statutory employees) are covered by state’s workers’ compensation laws, rules and regulations Operator and Contractor agree that all work and operations performed by Contractor and its employees pursuant to this Agreement are an integral part of and are essential to the ability of Operator to generate Operator’s goods, products and services for purposes of the applicable state’s workers’ compensation laws, rules and regulations. Contractor shall remain primarily responsible for the payment of workers’ compensation benefits to its employees, and shall owe indemnity for, and shall not be entitled to seek contribution for, any such payments from Operator.

| 6.0 | INSURANCE |
| 6.1 | Contractor shall, at its sole cost and discretion, maintain insurance coverage with an insurance company or companies authorized to do business in the state where the work is to be performed consistent with prudent industry practices and reasonably proportionate to the nature and scope of the work to be performed under this Agreement in the minimum amounts as follows: |
| (a) | If required, Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employers’ Liability Insurance complying with applicable state laws with limits not less than $1,000,000 covering the employees of the applicable party working under this Agreement. |
| (b) | Commercial (or Comprehensive) General Liability Insurance, including contractual obligations covered in this Agreement and proper coverage for all other obligations assumed in this Agreement. The limit shall be not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for Bodily Injury and Property Damage. If the policy has an annual aggregate limit, the aggregate will be at least $2,000,000, and the Contractor shall carry Excess Liability (or Umbrella) coverage that will “drop down” over each claim if such primary limit becomes exhausted. |
| (c) | Automobile Liability Insurance with Bodily Injury limits of not less than $1,000,000 for each person and $1,000,000 for each accident; and Property Damage limits of not less than $1,000,000 for each accident or $1,000,000 combined single limit for Bodily Injury and Property Damage. If hauling hazardous materials is part of the work, the policy must include an MCS 90 endorsement and the ISO Form 9948. |
| (d) | Excess Liability Insurance over that required in Section 6.1 (a), (b) and (c) with minimum limits of $5,000,000, specifically including Contractor’s Contractual Liability. |
| 6.2 | Contractor shall, on all of its policies of insurance, whether or not required by this Contract, waive subrogation against Operator Group (as defined in Section 7.1), name Operator Group as an additional insured (except on Workman’s Compensation). |
| 6.3 | All required insurance shall be maintained in full force and effect during the term of this Contract, and shall not be canceled, altered, or amended without thirty (30) days prior written notice via Email to Operator. Contractor agrees to have its insurance carrier furnish Operator a certificate or certificates on a form acceptable to Operator, evidencing insurance coverage in accordance with the above requirements. Acceptance by Operator of a certificate evidencing less insurance coverage than the amounts required in Section 6.1 shall not be deemed a waiver of the requirements of Section 6.1. |
| 6.4 | Contractor shall name Operator as additional insured (on form CG 2010 1001 and CG 2037 1001, or equivalent) on all insurance policies (except Workers’ Compensation) covering exposures for which Contractor has agreed to indemnify Operator. A party’s additional insured status will not limit the application of insurance protection as required by this Exhibit which arises out of the other party’s indemnity obligations. These policies shall provide primary coverage only for claims in which one Party has agreed to hold harmless and/or to indemnify the other. Coverages required by this Agreement will be primary and non-contributory coverage and no “other insurance” clause may be invoked by any insurer. This coverage shall apply whether or not the indemnification is valid. Operator shall have its insurer(s) waive its right of subrogation against Contractor on all insurance carried, in accordance with the risk allocation, release and indemnities in this Agreement. Contractor shall have its insurer(s) waive its right of subrogation against Operator Group on all insurance carried, in accordance with the risk allocation, release and indemnities in this Agreement. (For clarity, but not by way of limitation, no workers compensation lien or subrogation interest may be asserted against any Party or its Group that is the indemnitee under the applicable risk allocation.) Unless expressly stated to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or prohibited by applicable law or legal statute, neither Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall be limited by amount or in scope to coverage provided by insurance which is required by such Party under this Agreement. |
| 6.5 | Contractor does hereby release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator Group from any loss Operator Group may suffer due to Contractor failure to comply with all of the above insurance requirements, including the obtaining waivers of subrogation by Contractor Group, or due to any insurance coverage being invalidated due to Contractor failure to comply with the terms, conditions, and warranties of the insurance, “regardless of negligence or fault”. |

| 6.6 | Special Insurance Provisions |
The indemnity obligations set forth in Section 7 shall only be effective to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if federal or state statute dictates or it is judicially determined that the monetary limits of insurance required or the indemnities voluntarily assumed hereunder exceed the maximum limits permitted under applicable law, the parties hereby agree that said indemnities or insurance requirement shall automatically be amended to conform to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Execution Version
Appendix A- Team Operating Rate Schedule and Equipment
| I. | Initial Work and Consideration. |
A. EON Resources, Inc. (“EON”), Operator’s ultimate parent company, whose equities are listed on the NYSE American Exchange, shall, as consideration for Contractor’s workover services to Operator, (i) prepay Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) within two (2) business days of the execution of this Contract, and (ii) cause to be granted and issued 1,000,000 shares of unregistered Class A common stock of EON (the “Shares”) to Contractor or its designee with an agreed deemed value of $1,000,000.00 ($1.00 per share) which shall be credited to Operator’s account with Contractor as an additional amount of $1,000,000.00 (the “Initial Credit”).
B. Contractor shall provide workover services without cost or consideration to Operator for a full 30 days upon commencement of the workover services. Workover services* shall be furnished in a manner and at the hourly and day rates set forth below under Article III, Rate Schedule and Equipment.
C. In the event Contractor sells Shares prior to full application of the Initial Credit, the actual gross price received by Contractor for Shares shall become the actual value of the Shares sold in lieu of the deemed value of the Shares and Operator’s account shall be adjusted accordingly. The Shares shall be subject to a leak out provision for a one (1) year period of restriction from the date of issuance which shall prohibit Contractor from the selling of the Shares, including with other shares that Contractor and/or it’s assigns may own, in any one (1) trading day that would exceed ten percent (10%) of the average daily volume of all EON Class A common shares traded during the immediately preceding 30-day trading period. EON shall cause all Shares to be registered as fully tradeable and unrestricted stock within sixty (60) business days of the execution of this Agreement in an S-4 or other appropriate filing.
D. Contractor shall initially supply continuous workover services for thirty (30) days without cost to Operator with one workover rig as requested by Operator commencing on the date of the first day of workover services* and use of equipment provided by Contractor on Operator’s oil and gas wells and leasehold properties in Eddy County, New Mexico which shall be comprised of 10 hour work days by Contractor.
E. The Company shall cause all Shares to be registered with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, such that the Shares shall be freely tradable and unrestricted, no later than sixty (60) calendar days following the execution of this Agreement (the “Registration Deadline”). Contractor and/or its assigns are advised that upon issuance of the Shares, Contractor and/or its assigns acknowledges that it may own in excess of 5% of all issued and outstanding shares of EON which ownership percentage will require certain filings by Contractor and/or its assigns with the SEC and Contractor shall be solely responsible for such filings.
F. In the event that, for any reason whatsoever, the Shares are not freely tradable or cannot be sold on the open market due to adverse or illiquid market conditions after the Registration Deadline, then Company shall remit full payment, via bank wire transfer, for all invoices covering work performed by Contractor until the Shares become freely tradable (the “Interim Period”) upon written notification to the Operator by Contractor with reasonable proof of such adverse conditions, irrespective of any prior agreement to credit such invoices against the value of the Shares. Contractor shall transfer and assign to Company an equivalent amount of Shares in which payments are made in lieu of credit for the Shares based on the deemed value of $1.00 per share. To be clear, in the Interim Period, if the Company remits $250,000.00 to Contractor for payment of invoices covering work performed by Contractor, Contractor shall transfer and assign 250,000 Shares to Operator in return.
Appendix A to Master Service Agreement – Page
G. Furthermore, in the event the Shares are registered and freely tradable by the Registration Deadline, but due to adverse or illiquid market conditions Contractor sells the Shares at prices insufficient to cover the full amount of any invoices due for work performed during the Interim Period (the “Illiquid Shares”), then Company shall pay Contractor, via bank wire transfer, the shortfall between (i) the gross proceeds actually received by Contractor from the sale of Shares, and (ii) the total amount of unpaid invoice(s) owed to Contractor.

Exhibit 99.1
EON Resources Inc.
EON Energy, LLC Has Agreed to
Acquire South Justis Field in the Permian Basin in Lea County, New Mexico
with 207 Million Barrels of Original Oil in Place on 5,360 Acres
HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 20, 2025 / EON Resources Inc. (NYSE American: EONR) (“EON” or the “Company”) is an independent upstream energy company with oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. The Company announced today that EON Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EON Energy, LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) with WPP NM, L.L.C. and Northwest Central, L.L.C. (collectively the “Seller”) to acquire all of their respective interests in the South Justis Field located in the Permian Basin in Lea County, New Mexico.
The Company will exchange 1.0 million Class A common shares of the Company without any cash consideration or debt for EON Energy to acquire a 94% working interest in the South Justis Field. With the estimated $1.2 million in net annual cash flow, the transaction is expected to be accretive. The effective date of the acquisition is June 1, 2025.The transaction is expected to close June 20, 2025.
South Justis Field (“SJF” or “South Justis Field”) Profile:
| ● | South Justis is currently producing 108 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”) from 19 actively producing wells which adds $1.2 million in net cash flow annually with minimal impact to the G&A costs of the Company. We estimate that the production and related cash flow has the potential to double and triple within a year based upon the rate remaining idle wells in the South Justis Field can be returned to active production. |
| ● | The South Justis Field is located in Lea County, New Mexico in the Central Basin of the Permian Basin, the most prolific oil-producing region in the United States. The South Justis Field is located a short distance from our Grayburg-Jackson Field in Eddy County, New Mexico allowing for efficiencies of scale. |
| ● | Original Oil in Place (“OOIP”) was 210 million barrels of oil with 30 million barrels produced to date. EON Energy believes 15 million barrels of recoverable reserves can be developed with existing well recompletions and new well drilling. |
| ● | The property EON Energy is acquiring includes 5,360 leasehold acres with a total of 208 wells comprised of half being oil producing and the other half being water injection wells. There are 19 active oil producing wells. |
| ● | Producing zones in the South Justis Field are at a depth of 5,000 feet to 7,000 feet in the Glorietta, Blinebry, Tubb, Drinkard and Fusselman intervals. |
| ● | Approximate working interest acquired is 94% with a net revenue interest of 82%. |
South Justis History and Planned Development:
| ● | The initial production from the SJF in the 1960’s was 6,000 BOPD, indicating good potential for high primary production rates from recompletions into untapped behind pipe pay zones, along with newly drilled wells. |
| ● | The South Justis Field historically has had a low decline rate curve. The South Justis Field produced a very steady 250 BOPD before wells went offline due to mechanical issues. |
| ● | Within the last three months, the Seller repaired and reactivated 6 wells to production adding 50 BOPD with minimal costs. This is EON Energy’s same strategy to increase South Justis oil production. |
| ● | The EON Energy team plans to return 30 wells this year to production with an expected average of 5-10 BOPD per well, yielding field wide production of 250 to 400 BOPD. |
| ● | EON Energy will combine lessons learned by the Seller and from the Company’s well stimulation experience in the Grayburg-Jackson field, to develop the SJF. |
| ● | Seller will operate SJF for the next few months for the benefit of EON Energy, with existing field employees transitioning to EON Energy. |
“Step one in development of South Justis Field is to return idle wells to production to double oil production. Step two is to stimulate existing wellbores using the same techniques the Company successfully employs in our Grayburg Jackson Field,” said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of the Company. “We also plan to seek a drilling partner who will bring the necessary capital and expertise to develop the South Justis Field, with the same approach we are taking with our Grayburg Jackson Oil Field.”
“To help realize the South Justis Field potential, EON Energy has contracted with an affiliate of the Seller to provide an experienced workover crew and workover rig familiar with the SJF - the same team that already more than doubled South Justis oil production,” said Jesse Allen, Vice President of Operations for the Company. “As was done for our Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field, we plan to commission a 3rd party study to optimize our development of the South Justis Field. Our in-house technical team’s work gave us strong encouragement to purchase the field.”
