SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS DATED JANUARY 23, 2025

EON Resources Inc.

Up to 5,079,050 Shares of Class A Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offering from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to an aggregate of 5,079,050 shares of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), consisting of (i) up to 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “ELOC Shares”) that we may sell to White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”), from time to time at our sole discretion, pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement dated October 17, 2022 (as amended, the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”), (ii) 69,050 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to certain Selling Securityholders in exchange for forgiveness of accounts payable (the “Exchange Shares”), and (iii) 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to a certain Selling Securityholder in exchange for targeting and research services (the “Service Shares”).

The shares of Class A Common Stock being registered for resale were issued to, purchased by or will be purchased by the Selling Securityholders for the following consideration: (i) a purchase price yet to be determined for the ELOC Shares (as described herein), (ii) a purchase of price of $1.00 per share of Class A Common Stock for the Exchange Shares, and (iii) a purchase of price of $0.82 per share of Class A Common Stock for the Service Shares.

On November 15, 2023, we completed the purchase of equity interests and transactions contemplated thereby (the “Purchase”) as set forth in that certain Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated August 28, 2023, as amended (the “MIPA”), by and among us, HNRA Upstream, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company which is managed by us, and is a subsidiary of ours (“OpCo”), and HNRA Partner, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of ours (“SPAC Subsidiary”, and together with us and OpCo, “Buyer” and each a “Buyer”), CIC Pogo LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“CIC”), DenCo Resources, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“DenCo”), Pogo Resources Management, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Pogo Management”), 4400 Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“4400” and, together with CIC, DenCo and Pogo Management, collectively, “Seller” and each a “Seller”), and, solely with respect to Section 6.20 of the MIPA, HNRAC Sponsors, LLC (the “Sponsor”).

We are registering the offer and sale of the securities listed herein to satisfy certain registration rights we have granted. All of the securities being registered for resale, when sold, will be sold by the Selling Securityholders.

We are not selling any Class A Common Stock under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares by the Selling Securityholders except we may receive proceeds from the sale of the shares to White Lion under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, from time to time in our discretion after the date the registration statement that includes this prospectus is declared effective and after satisfaction of other conditions in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The purchase price to be paid by White Lion for any such shares will equal 96% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of Class A Common Stock during a period of two consecutive trading days following the applicable Notice Date.

We filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-275378) that became effective on August 9, 2024, which registered for resale up to 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that may be sold to White Lion from time to time (the “Prior Registration Statement”). We have sold approximately $4.9 million in shares of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and we may receive proceeds of up to $145.1 million remaining under the facility from the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock to White Lion under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. White Lion has resold 4,350,000 shares registered on the Prior Registration Statement, with 650,000 shares remaining registered but unissued and not resold. It is the intention of the parties for White Lion to sell the remaining shares from the Prior Registration Statement prior to reselling shares under the registration statement of which this prospectus is made a part.

White Lion is an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.

The Selling Securityholders may sell or otherwise dispose of the securities covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell or otherwise dispose of their securities in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” on page 133. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses attributable to the sale of securities covered by this prospectus will be borne by the Selling Securityholders. We will pay the expenses incurred in registering the shares of Class A Common Stock covered by this prospectus, including legal and accounting fees.

Our Class A Common Stock is listed on NYSE American under the symbol “EONR” and our Public Warrants are listed on NYSE American under the symbol “EONR WS”. On January 22, 2025, the last reported sale price for our Class A Common Stock was $1.38.

As of January 15, 2025, there were 12,895,544 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. If all shares being registered hereby were sold, it would comprise approximately 28.4% of our total shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.
