19 Aug 2025business combination● NeutralMajor
The Viper merger closed on August 19, 2025. Each Sitio Class A share was converted into 0.4855 new Viper Class A shares (cash paid for fractions), Sitio Class C shares were cancelled, and Sitio Opco units were exchanged for 0.4855 Viper Opco units plus 0.4855 new Viper Class B shares. Former Sitio holders own about 20% of the combined Viper Energy, Inc. and Viper holders about 80%. Sitio's revolving credit facility was repaid in full and terminated, and Sitio's Class A stock was suspended from the NYSE with a Form 25 filed to delist it.
18 Aug 2025business combination● NeutralMajor
Sitio stockholders approved the Viper merger at the August 18, 2025 special meeting: 130,700,871 votes for, 366,763 against and 148,537 abstaining, out of 131,216,171 shares present or represented by proxy. The non-binding vote on executive merger-related pay also passed (113,188,417 for, 17,420,368 against). This resolves the stockholder-vote condition from the earlier proxy; the filing notes the merger registration statement was declared effective July 18, 2025, but closing was still pending at this point.
8 Aug 2025business combination● Neutral
Three lawsuits by purported Sitio Class A holders, filed in New York and Denver courts, seek to block the Viper merger unless more information is disclosed. Sitio denies the claims but is voluntarily adding detail to the proxy statement. The additions include earlier contacts with an unnamed 'Company B' that never made an offer, J.P. Morgan's board discussion of alternatives, and valuation inputs (discount rates of 8.00% to 10.00% for Sitio, about 154 million fully diluted shares, and a May 30, 2025 close of $17.07). The filing states Sitio will stop being publicly traded as a result of the mergers.
18 July 2025business combination● NeutralMajor
Sitio filed its definitive proxy statement for the Viper merger, setting a virtual special stockholder meeting for August 18, 2025. Stockholders holding about 48% of Sitio's voting power have signed agreements to support the deal, though these can end in certain cases such as a superior proposal or a change of control of Diamondback. Sitio Class A holders would get 0.4855 new Viper Class A shares each. Holders of Sitio Class C stock who are not supporting stockholders can seek appraisal in Delaware court, with a demand due within 20 days of mailing. Diamondback's written consent already approves the deal on the Viper side.
3 June 2025business combination● NeutralMajor
Sitio's merger agreement with Viper sets the terms: each Sitio Class A share converts into 0.4855 shares of the new parent's Class A stock, and Sitio Class C shares are cancelled. Each Sitio Opco unit converts into 0.4855 Viper Opco units plus 0.4855 new parent Class B shares. Sitio holders would own about 20% of the new parent, which would take the Viper Energy name and keep Viper's board and executives. Closing needs Sitio and Viper stockholder approval, HSR antitrust clearance, an effective S-4 and Nasdaq listing, among other conditions. Viper's majority holder has already consented, Sitio's board unanimously recommended the deal, and Sitio agreed not to solicit rival offers (with an exception for a bona fide superior proposal before its stockholder vote).
3 June 2025business combination● NeutralMajor
On June 2, 2025, Sitio agreed to be acquired by Viper Energy in an all-equity merger, with a joint press release issued June 3. After closing, former Viper and Sitio stockholders would own about 80% and 20% of the new parent on a fully diluted basis. It still needs Sitio stockholder approval, and a registration statement and proxy materials were to follow.
12 May 2025material agreement● Neutral
On May 8, 2025, Sitio amended its credit agreement to confirm the scheduled review, keeping the borrowing base at $925 million. The amendment also changes review dates and other unspecified terms. No new capacity was added.
19 Dec 2024material agreement▲ Good
On December 16, 2024, Sitio amended its credit agreement to raise the borrowing base and the aggregate elected commitment from $850 million to $925 million, following the scheduled review. Other terms were also amended but are not described.
27 Dec 2023material agreement● Neutral
On December 20, 2023, Sitio amended its credit agreement to confirm the scheduled borrowing base review, leaving the borrowing base at $850 million. The amendment also excludes certain assets from the borrowing base properties for this review, changes redetermination dates and adjusts other terms. No new borrowing capacity was added.
4 Oct 2023debt financing● NeutralMajor
On October 3, 2023, Sitio's operating partnership sold $600 million of 7.875% senior notes due November 2028, upsized from the $500 million announced a week earlier. Proceeds went to redeem all its 2026 notes and repay part of the credit facility. This replaces the 2022 note purchase agreement debt with longer-dated, unsecured notes, with first interest due May 1, 2024.
26 Sept 2023material agreement● NeutralMajor
On September 22, 2023, Sitio raised its credit facility's borrowing base and lender commitments from $750 million to $850 million, and on September 26 announced a planned $500 million offering of senior unsecured notes due 2028. Proceeds would redeem its 2026 notes (the September 2022 note purchase agreement debt, inference) and repay part of the credit facility. The filing also gives net debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA of 1.61x at June 30, 2023, and a Q2 2023 net loss of $2.97 million.
24 Aug 2023listing compliance notice▼ BadMajor
Sitio Royalties Corp. deregistered its securities, ending its obligation to file reports with the SEC.
15 June 2023capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
On June 14, 2023, Sitio issued 2,508,490 Class C shares and 2,508,490 Opco LP units in exchange for certain mineral and royalty interests. The filing does not state the value or the sellers' identity beyond naming Sierra Energy Royalties, LLC and Source Energy Permian II, LLC as parties to a registration rights agreement. The units can be swapped one-for-one into Class A shares, so this could add Class A shares over time (inference), and Sitio agreed to file for resale registration within 60 days.
9 May 2023listing compliance notice● NeutralMajor
Sitio Royalties Corp.'s exchange filed to remove a class of its securities from listing.
9 Mar 2023business combination● Neutral
Sitio filed unaudited pro forma financial statements showing the combined company for 2022 as if the December 2022 Brigham merger had happened on January 1, 2022. The pro forma figures are total revenue of $756.6 million and net income of $233.4 million, with $121.1 million attributable to Class A stockholders. The filing says these are illustrative only, and that the valuation of Brigham's assets and liabilities was not yet complete.
8 Feb 2023debt financing● NeutralMajor
On February 3, 2023, Sitio's operating partnership replaced its existing credit facility with a new Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement led by JPMorgan, with commitments of up to $1.5 billion, a $750 million borrowing base and elected commitment, and a June 2027 maturity. It also repaid and terminated Brigham's old credit agreement, so this finishes the debt clean-up after the December 2022 merger. Brigham's entities also became guarantors of the existing September 2022 note purchase agreement. The filing also furnishes an updated investor presentation.
29 Dec 2022business combination● NeutralMajor
The Sitio-Brigham merger closed on December 29, 2022. The new holding company took the name Sitio Royalties Corp. and the old Sitio became STR Sub Inc., and Brigham became a subsidiary. Brigham Class A shares converted at 1.133 new Class A shares each, and Sitio Class A shares converted one for one. Old Sitio warrants now convert into warrants on the new company's Class A stock. This completes the deal set out in the earlier S-4 filings.
14 Nov 2022business combination● Neutral
Amendment No. 1 to the Sitio-Brigham merger registration statement, dated November 14, 2022. The excerpt shows the same terms as the first filing (1.133 exchange ratio, about 54%/46% ownership split, 83.7% voting support); the visible change is that the Brigham special meeting webcast address is now filled in, and the meeting date is still blank. The truncated text may contain other changes that I cannot see.
11 Oct 2022business combination● NeutralMajor
A new holding company (Snapper Merger Sub I, Inc.) filed a registration statement to carry out Sitio's all-stock acquisition of Brigham Minerals under a merger agreement dated September 6, 2022. Brigham Class A and Class B holders would get 1.133 new-company shares per share, Sitio holders one for one, leaving Sitio holders with about 54% and Brigham holders about 46%; holders of about 83.7% of Sitio's voting power have agreed to vote in favour.
