Prairie Operating Co. Announces Proceeds of $12 Million from Warrant Exercise

HOUSTON, TX, Nov. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prairie Operating Co. (OTCQB: PROP; the “Company” or “Prairie”) announced today that it has received $12 million in proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase 2 million shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). 

These in-the-money Warrants were strategically exercised by Watermill Capital Partners and its affiliates, a sophisticated long-term focused capital investor based in Australia.  Watermill Capital Partners and its affiliates have an extensive and successful track record of investing in growth-oriented businesses.

Mr. Greg O’Neill, Managing Director of Watermill Capital Partners and its affiliates, commented, “The Company’s outsized accomplishments, in such a short period of time, provides Watermill Capital Partners with the ability to accelerate and optimize our long-term value. We are very excited to support Prairie by exercising these Warrants now. This not only underscores our confidence in the team and its strategy, but also reflects our investment commitment to the Company’s vision and anticipated growth trajectory.”

Ed Kovalik, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company reacted by saying, “We truly appreciate Mr. O’Neill’s continued endorsement and support of our growth strategy through the proactive exercise of these Warrants. This calculated action strengthens our balance sheet and increases our financial flexibility as we continue to execute our plan.”

The exercise of Warrants provides Prairie with additional funds, at an attractive cost of capital, for continued growth and expansion. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the warrant exercise for general working capital purposes, which may include drilling activity and or opportunistic acquisitions.

The Warrants were originally issued in connection with a private offering of units completed by Prairie in May 2023 (see Press Release). The Warrants featured a one (1) year duration with a $6.00 per share exercise price. The shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the shares of common stock may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
