In support of that objective, our long-term goal is to maximize total shareholder return from a diversified portfolio of long-life oil and natural gas properties built through acquisitions and through selective development opportunities, production enhancements, and other exploitation efforts on our oil and natural gas properties.

Recent Developments
Dividend Declaration
On May 11, 2026, Evolution’s Board of Directors approved and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per common share payable June 30, 2026.
Purchase of Louisiana Minerals
From December 2025 through March 2026, we acquired mineral and royalty interests in multiple parishes across Louisiana from various private sellers for cash consideration totaling $5.0 million, including capitalized direct transaction costs (“Louisiana Minerals”). The mineral acreage in Louisiana primarily consists of proved undeveloped acreage targeting the Bossier/Haynesville Shales and is currently being actively developed by operators in the area. The acquisitions were considered asset acquisitions and funded with cash on hand and sales from our ATM Sales Agreements.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On November 28, 2025, we entered into a letter agreement with MidFirst Bank pursuant to which the Margined Collateral Value, as defined under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, was modified to $65.0 million. In addition, it
granted us additional time to enter into further commodity hedges to meet the hedging requirements under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
SCOOP/STACK Minerals Transactions
On August 4, 2025, wecompleted the acquisition of certain mineral and royalty interests in the SCOOP and STACK plays in Oklahoma from a non-affiliated private seller (the “SCOOP/STACK Minerals Acquisition”) in a cash transaction valued at approximately $16.3 million, which includes $17.0 million paid at closing less transaction costs of $0.1 million and interim purchase price adjustments totaling approximately $0.8 million related to net cash flows earned on the properties from the effective date of May 1, 2025 to the closing date. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price was $12.5 million to proved oil and natural gas properties, subject to amortization, and $3.8 million to unproved properties. We funded the purchase price for the SCOOP/STACK Minerals Acquisition with a combination of $15.0 million in borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and cash on hand. The acquired assets include an average royalty interest of 0.6% across approximately 5,500 net royalty acres located primarily in Grady and Canadian Counties, Oklahoma.
Subsequent to the third fiscal quarter of 2026, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a private buyer for the sale of a portion of our non-core, non-producing net royalty acres. The total sale price for the acreage is approximately $3.3 million, subject to customary closing conditions. The divestiture is expected to close in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2026.
Risks and uncertainties
The oil and natural gas industry is a global market impacted by many factors, such as government regulations, particularly in the areas of tariffs, trade sanctions, taxation, energy, climate change and the environment, geopolitical instability, (including ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, in the Middle East and Venezuela), demand in Asian and European markets, and the extent to which members of OPEC and other oil exporting nations manage oil supply through export quotas. More recently, during the third fiscal quarter, WTI oil prices reached their highest levels since 2022 due to crude oil disruptions at key oil shipping routes in the Middle East, including the Strait of Hormuz. Natural gas prices are generally determined by North American supply and demand and are also affected by imports and exports of liquefied natural gas. Weather also has a significant impact on demand for natural gas since it is a primary heating source.
Oil, natural gas, and NGL prices have been, and we expect may continue to be, volatile. During the current fiscal year, crude oil spot prices for WTI dropped below $56 per barrel in December 2025 then rose to more than $100 per barrel in March 2026. Lower oil and natural gas prices not only decrease our revenues, partially offset by applicable hedges, but an extended decline in oil or natural gas prices may affect planned capital expenditures and the oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce. Lower oil and natural gas prices may also reduce the amount of our borrowing base under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is determined at the discretion of the lenders based on various factors including the collateral value of our proved reserves. Increases in crude oil and natural gas prices are partially offset to the extent that prices exceed applicable derivative contract swap and collar prices.
Given the dynamic nature of these factors and events, we cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that certain market conditions will persist. Continuing volatility in political, trade, regulatory and economic conditions could impact supply and demand fundamentals as well as commodity pricing. Any related significant declines in crude oil, natural gas, and NGL prices could lead to proved property impairments in the future. Any significant increases in commodity prices could lead to further losses on our derivative contacts that partially offset price increases. Impairments and gains and losses on derivative contracts are difficult to predict, especially in a volatile price environment.
At times, we do maintain cash balances in excess of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”); however, we believe our bank counterparty to be financially sound. We also utilize insured cash sweep deposits to maximize the amount of our cash that is protected by FDIC insurance. We also rely heavily on our third-party operators who manage their own liquidity with various financial institutions. In 2022, the Federal Reserve took actions to raise interest rates in an attempt to constrain inflation and slow the economy. In 2024 and 2025, the Federal Reserve has taken action to
slowly drop interest rates as inflationary pressures in the United States economy have begun to subside, but it is uncertain how recent trade policies and tariffs by the United States and foreign governments or other geopolitical events including ongoing conflicts, will impact inflation and the economy.
Currently, our oil and natural gas properties are operated by third-party operators and involve other third-party working interest owners. As a result, we have limited ability to influence the operation or future development of such properties. Despite these uncertainties, we remain focused on our long-term objectives and continue to be proactive with our third-party operators to review the management of capital expenditures.
