ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Acquisition of Endeavor Entities
On October 1, 2024, the Company, Jorgan Development, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“Jorgan”) and JBAH Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“JBAH” and, together with Jorgan, the “Sellers”), as the equity holders of Endeavor Crude, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Equipment Transport, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, Meridian Equipment Leasing, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, and Silver Fuels Processing, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (collectively, the “Endeavor Entities”) closed the transactions that were the subject of the previously-disclosed Membership Interest Purchase Agreement among them dated March 21, 2024, as amended (the “MIPA”) (the “Closing”). In accordance with the terms of the MIPA, at the Closing, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in each of the Endeavor Entities (the “Membership Interests”), making them wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The Endeavor Entities own and operate a combined fleet of more than 500 commercial tractors and trailers for the hauling of crude oil and produced water. On a daily basis, the trucking fleet hauls approximately 60,000 barrels of crude oil, tank bottoms, and petroleum wastes, and approximately 30,000 barrels of produced water. In addition, the Endeavor Entities own and operate a crude oil shuttle pipeline and exclusive connected blending and processing facility in Blaine County, Oklahoma.
The purchase price for the Membership Interests is $120 million (the “Purchase Price”), subject to post-closing adjustments, including a reduction for assumed debt and a possible increase for an earn-out adjustment, payable by the Company in a combination of Company common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) and Company Series A Preferred Stock $0.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock will have the terms set forth in the Form of Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein, including, but not limited to, liquidation preference over the Common Stock, the payment of a cumulative six percent (6%) annual dividend per share payable quarterly in arrears in shares of Common Stock (so long as such issuances of Common Stock would not result in the Sellers beneficially owning great than 49.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock), and the Company having the right to convert the Preferred Stock at any time using the stated value of $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock and the conversion price of one dollar ($1.00) per share of Common Stock. The Sellers are beneficially owned by James Ballengee, the Company’s chairman, chief executive officer and principal shareholder. The Company is currently still calculating the reduction in the Purchase Price as a result of Endeavor Entities debt the Company assumed at Closing.
As a result of the Closing, the Company will issue to the Sellers, (i) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to an undivided nineteen and ninety-nine hundredths percent (19.99%) of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to Closing, or a lesser percentage, if such issuance would result, when taking into consideration the percentage of Common Stock owned by Sellers prior to such issuance, in Sellers owning in excess of 49.99% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding on a post-Closing basis, with such shares of Common Stock valued at $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock Consideration”), and (ii) a number of shares of Preferred Stock equal to the Purchase Price, less the value of the Common Stock Consideration (the “Preferred Stock Consideration”). Sellers will enter into 18-month lock-up agreements, in the form filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein, at Closing, with regard to the Common Stock Consideration and any Common Stock they receive during the lock-up period in connection with conversions of Preferred Stock or the payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock.
According to our Chief Financial Officer’s previously disclosed employment contract, upon the closing (October 1, 2024) of the Endeavor Entities, he will be paid $200,000, with $100,000 to be paid in cash and the remaining $100,000 to be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at approximately $1.89 per share.
The MIPA, including the exhibits thereto and related agreements, filed with the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 25, 2024 (the “Execution 8-K”) as Exhibits 2.1. 3.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4 are incorporated herein by reference. The disclosure above does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms of the MIPA, or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the exhibits and related documents, and is qualified in their entirety by reference to the Execution 8-K and the full text of the Exhibits filed therewith.

In connection with the Closing of the Endeavor Entities on October 1, 2024, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with Russ Shelton (the “Shelton Agreement”) with respect to the Company’s appointment of Mr. Shelton as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

Russ Shelton, 48, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer
Mr. Russ Shelton is a seasoned operations executive with more than three decades of management experience with midstream trucking, terminaling, and marketing companies, including for several of the business units being acquired in the Company’s purchase of the Endeavor Entities.

Prior to Endeavor Crude, he worked as Director of Operations for Senergy Petroleum from 2021-23, and prior to that worked as Director of Transportation for Pilot Travel Centers LLC from 2018-21.
The Board believes that Mr. Shelton’s experience in management and operations and his extensive knowledge in the midstream petroleum industry make him ideally qualified to help lead the Company towards continued growth and success.

Related Party Transactions

As an inducement to enter into the executive employment agreement, the Vice President, Marketing is entitled to receive a one-time signing grant of Company common stock equivalent in value to $150,000, which are priced per share based on the closing price on the day of such grant (calculated to be 71,090 shares based on the effective date of the executive employment agreement). The signing bonus has not been issued and is due not later than thirty (30) calendar days after we file an amended Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering shares under a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), and the shares will only vest as set forth in the LTIP.

On October 31, 2024, Vivakor, Inc.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company issued a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $3,670,160.77, and the Lenders agreed to provide such term loan to the Company (the “Term Loan”) with maturity on October 31, 2025. On November 5 and 6, 2024, the Company received the net proceeds from the Term Loan less (i) a 3% origination fee, and (ii) repayment of $2,000,000 in outstanding principal, $68,009 in accrued interest, and a $242,991 prepayment fee pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated February 5, 2024, by and between the Company, as borrower thereunder, certain of its Subsidiaries, as guarantors thereunder, and Lender and Agent (the “Previous Cedarview Loan”).
The amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum of 22%. As a result, the Company will be obligated to make 12 equal monthly payments of $343,506.42 beginning November 30, 2024.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and when the Company raises in the aggregate $10,000,000 or more from the sale of its equity in sales (other than in connection with any acquisition, merger, or like transaction), the Company shall immediately offer to prepay the entire outstanding balance of the Term Loan, which offer may be accepted or rejected by the Agent.
The amounts borrowed pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the present and after-acquired assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries, except for certain after-acquired assets as provided by the Loan Agreement. Additionally, the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Subsidiaries.
The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative financial and other covenants for a loan of this type. The closing was subject to customary closing conditions.
In connection with the Loan Agreement, and as additional consideration for the Lender agreeing to loan funds to the Company thereunder, the Company issued an irrevocable letter to its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to reserve 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Collateral Securities”) until the Term Loan is repaid in full. In the event the Term Loan is not paid in full by the Maturity Date, the Agent may instruct the Transfer Agent to issue the Collateral Securities to the Agent, which the Agent may then sell until such time the amounts due under the Term Loan are repaid in full, after which any shares of Collateral Securities remaining shall be returned to the Company.
As a result of the Term Loan, and the use of proceeds of the Term Loan, the Previous Cedarview Loan has been paid in full and the irrevocable letter to the transfer agent regarding the Previous Cedarview Loan has been withdrawn.
