11 Mar 2025asset acquisition disposition▲ GoodMajor
As the Lucero Energy acquisition closed, Vitesse amended its credit facility to add Lucero subsidiary PetroShale (US) as a guarantor and expanded the borrowing base from $245 million to $315 million to support the larger combined asset base.

Vitesse filed the final proxy statement for the Lucero deal, setting an online special meeting for March 5, 2025 (record date January 24, 2025) to vote on the share issuance and a possible adjournment. The board unanimously recommends voting for both; the share issuance needs a majority of votes cast, and the deal cannot close without it. This finalises the earlier January 21 preliminary version, with the same 80.0%/20.0% ownership split and 0.01239 exchange ratio.
21 Jan 2025business combination● NeutralMajor
Vitesse filed a preliminary proxy statement (still subject to completion, with the meeting date left blank) asking its stockholders to approve issuing shares for the Lucero Energy deal agreed in December 2024. Lucero holders would get 0.01239 Vitesse shares per Lucero share, leaving current Vitesse holders with about 80.0% and Lucero holders about 20.0% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. The board unanimously recommends a vote in favour. This continues the Lucero deal and means existing holders' stake would be diluted to about 80.0% if it closes.
