The Term Loan Agreement contains affirmative and restrictive covenants and representations and warranties. The Loan Parties are bound by certain affirmative covenants setting forth actions that are required during the term of the Term Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, certain information delivery requirements, obligations to maintain certain insurance, and certain notice requirements. Additionally, the Loan Parties from time to time will be bound by certain restrictive covenants setting forth actions that are not permitted to be taken during the term of the Term Loan Agreement without prior written consent, including, without limitation, incurring certain additional indebtedness, entering into certain hedging contracts, consummating certain mergers, acquisitions or other business combination transactions, consummating certain dispositions of assets, making certain payments on subordinated debt, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates, and incurring any non-permitted lien or other encumbrance on assets.

For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, HNRA is referred to as the “Counterparty”. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller intends, but is not obligated, to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares (the “Purchased Amount”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of HNRA (“HNRA Shares”) concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the A&R MIPA, pursuant to the Seller’s FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement (as defined below), less the number of HNRA Shares purchased by the Seller separately from third parties through a broker in the open market (“Recycled Shares”). The Seller shall not be required to purchase an amount of HNRA Shares such that following such purchase, that Seller’s ownership would exceed 9.99% of the total HNRA Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase, unless the Seller, at its sole discretion, waives such 9.99% ownership limitation. The Purchased Amount subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction following a termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares, as further described in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides for a prepayment shortfall in an amount in U.S. dollars equal to 0.50% of the product of the Recycled Shares and the Initial Price (defined below). Seller in its sole discretion may sell Recycled Shares (i) at any time following November 2, 2023 (the “Trade Date”) at prices greater than the Reset Price or (ii) commencing on the 180th day following the Trade Date at any sales price, in either case without payment by Seller of any Early Termination Obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 100% of the Prepayment Shortfall (as set forth under the section entitled “Shortfall Sales” in the Forward Purchase Agreement) (such sales, “Shortfall Sales,” and such Shares, “Shortfall Sale Shares”). A sale of Shares is only (a) a “Shortfall Sale,” subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable to Shortfall Sale Shares, when a Shortfall Sale Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, and (b) an Optional Early Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Forward Purchase Agreement applicable to Terminated Shares, when an OET Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, in each case the delivery of such notice in the sole discretion of the Seller (as further described in the “Optional Early Termination” and “Shortfall Sales” sections in the Forward Purchase Agreement).

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that the Seller will be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the product of (i) the number of HNRA Shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice and (ii) Per-Share Redemption Price as defined in HNRA’s Certificate of Incorporation, effective as of February 10, 2022, as amended from time to time (the “Initial Price”), less (y) the Prepayment Shortfall.

Counterparty will pay to the Seller the Prepayment Amount required under the Forward Purchase Agreement directly from the Counterparty’s Trust Account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company holding the net proceeds of the sale of the units in Counterparty’s initial public offering and the sale of private placement warrants (the “Trust Account”), no later than the earlier of (a) one Local Business Day after the Closing Date and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Purchase & Sale; except that to the extent that the Prepayment Amount is to be paid from the purchase of Additional Shares by Seller, such amount will be netted against such proceeds, with Seller being able to reduce the purchase price for the Additional Shares by the Prepayment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Shares purchased by the Seller will be included in the Number Purchased Amount under the Forward Purchase Agreement for all purposes, including for determining the Prepayment Amount.

6

Following the Closing, the reset price (the “Reset Price”) will be $10.00; provided that the Reset Price shall be reduced pursuant to a Dilutive Offering Reset immediately upon the occurrence of such Dilutive Offering. The Purchased Amount subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement shall be increased upon the occurrence of a Dilutive Offering Reset to that number of Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the Purchased Amount divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the price of such Dilutive Offering divided by (b) $10.00.

From time to time and on any date following the Trade Date (any such date, an “OET Date”) and subject to the terms and conditions in the Forward Purchase Agreement, Seller may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the Transaction in whole or in part by providing written notice to Counterparty (the “OET Notice”), by the later of (a) the fifth Local Business Day following the OET Date and (b) no later than the next Payment Date following the OET Date, (which shall specify the quantity by which the Number of Shares shall be reduced (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”)). The effect of an OET Notice shall be to reduce the Number of Shares by the number of Terminated Shares specified in such OET Notice with effect as of the related OET Date. As of each OET Date, Counterparty shall be entitled to an amount from Seller, and the Seller shall pay to Counterparty an amount, equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reset Price in respect of such OET Date. The payment date may be changed within a quarter at the mutual agreement of the parties.

The “Valuation Date” will be the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is three (3) years after the date of the closing of the Purchase & Sale (the date of the closing of the Purchase & Sale, the “Closing Date”) pursuant to the A&R MIPA, (b) the date specified by Seller in a written notice to be delivered to Counterparty at Seller’s discretion (which Valuation Date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective) after the occurrence of any of (w) a VWAP Trigger Event, (x) a Delisting Event, (y) a Registration Failure or (z) unless otherwise specified therein, upon any Additional Termination Event, and (c) the date specified by Seller in a written notice to be delivered to Counterparty at Seller’s sole discretion (which Valuation Date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective). The Valuation Date notice will become effective immediately upon its delivery from Seller to Counterparty in accordance with the Forward Share Purchase Agreement.

On the “Cash Settlement Payment Date,” which is the tenth Local Business Day immediately following the last day of the Valuation Period, the Seller will remit to the Counterparty an amount equal to the Settlement Amount and will not otherwise be required to return to the Counterparty any of the Prepayment Amount and the Counterparty shall remit to the Seller the Settlement Amount Adjustment; provided, that if the Settlement Amount less the Settlement Amount Adjustment is a negative number and either clause (x) of Settlement Amount Adjustment applies or the Counterparty has elected pursuant to clause (y) of Settlement Amount Adjustment to pay the Settlement Amount Adjustment in cash, then neither the Seller nor the Counterparty shall be liable to the other party for any payment under the Cash Settlement Payment Date section of the Forward Purchase Agreement.

The Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Recycled Shares in connection with the Purchase & Sale, as well as any redemption rights under HNRA’s Certificate of Incorporation that would require redemption by HNRA. Such waiver may reduce the number of HNRA Shares redeemed in connection with the Purchase & Sale, and such reduction could alter the perception of the potential strength of the Purchase & Sale. The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Purchase & Sale, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In Connection with the Closing, the Seller received $4,286,701 in cash, including $286,607 in fees and expenses from the Trust Account related to 50,070 Recycled Shares and 504,425 Additional Shares that the Company may be obligated to issue to the Seller pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Seller also received 90,000 shares of Class A Common Stock as a transaction fee.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The Purchase will be accounted for as an acquisition, in accordance with GAAP. The Company was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Purchase based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Pogo was deemed to be the predecessor entity of the Company. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Pogo will become the historical financial statements of the Company, upon the consummation of the Purchase. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Pogo will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, if applicable, will be recorded as goodwill.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, assumes that the Purchase occurred on September 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, reflects pro forma effect to the Purchase as if it had been completed on January 1, 2022.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Purchase.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Purchase are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that HNRA believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. HNRA believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Purchase based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Purchase taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of HNRA’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and Pogo included in this prospectus.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the Purchase (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). HNRA has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

13

2. Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Purchase, management will perform a comprehensive review of the accounting policies of the two entities. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the combined company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

3. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The preliminary purchase price of Pogo has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for purposes of this pro forma financial information based on their estimated relative fair values. The purchase price allocations herein are preliminary. The final purchase price allocations for the Purchase will be determined after completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the acquisition. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the accounting adjustments included in the pro forma financial statements presented herein. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown herein, could also change the portion of purchase price allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of the Company following the acquisition due to differences in purchase price allocation, depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities.

5. Pro Forma Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the historical weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Purchase, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2022. As the Purchase is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable in connection with the Purchase have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the maximum number of Public Shares are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared assuming three alternative levels of redemption for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the year ended December 31, 2022:

	Pro Forma Combined
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Pro forma net loss attributable to Class A common stockholders	$	(5,654,484	)
Pro forma net loss per share attributable to Class A common stockholders, basic and diluted	$	(1.10	)
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted		5,145,446
Excluded Securities(1)
Public Warrants		8,625,000
Private Warrants		505,000
For the Year Ended December 31, 2022
Pro forma net income attributable to Class A common stockholders	$	2,281,735
Pro forma net income per share attributable to Class A common stockholders, basic and diluted	$	0.44
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted		5,139,585
Excluded Securities:(1)
Public Warrants		8,625,000
Private Warrants		505,000

(1) The potentially dilutive outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of pro forma net income per share, basic and diluted, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive, due to the exercise price of the Public Warrants and Private Warrants being greater that the average market price of the Company’s common stock.

6. Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserve Information (Unaudited)

Estimated Net Quantities of Oil and Gas Reserves

The pro forma estimates of proved oil and gas reserves and discounted future net cash flows for the Target Interests as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 were prepared by William M. Cobb & Associates, Inc. Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of proved oil and gas reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions to be made in the evaluation of available geologic, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data for any given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors, including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. As a result, revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variance in available data for various reservoirs make estimates generally less precise than other estimates included in the statement of revenue and direct operating expenses disclosures.

The pro forma estimated proved net recoverable reserves presented below include only those quantities of oil and gas geologic and engineering data that demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future periods from known reservoirs under existing economic, operating and regulatory practices. Proved developed reserves represent only those reserves estimated to be recovered through existing wells. Proved undeveloped reserves include those reserves that may be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells on which a relatively major expenditure for recompletion or secondary recovery operation is required. All of the pro forma properties’ proved reserves set forth herein are located in the Continental United States. The estimate of reserves and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows shown below reflect Pogo’s development plan for these properties.

The following tables set forth certain unaudited pro forma information concerning Pogo’s proved oil and gas reserves for the year ended December 31, 2022, giving effect to the Purchase as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022. The following tables provide a summary of the changes in estimated reserves for the periods presented and reconciles the changes from the original transaction estimates to the amended transaction estimates.

(1) The positive revision in 2022 is primarily attributable to the increase in year-end SEC commodity prices for oil and natural gas.

(2) The reconciling differences as shown in the table above are the result of the 10% overriding royalty interest not acquired in the amended transaction.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

The pro forma standardized measure related to proved oil, gas and NGL reserves is summarized below. This summary is based on a valuation of proved reserves using discounted cash flows based on SEC pricing applicable for each year, costs and economic conditions and a 10% discount rate. The additions to proved reserves from new discoveries and extensions and the impact of changes in prices and costs associated with proved reserves could vary significantly from year to year. Accordingly, the information presented below is not an estimate of fair value and should not be considered indicative of any trends.

The pro forma standardized measure of discounted future cash flows does not purport, nor should it be interpreted to present, estimates of the fair value of the properties. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and costs and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and risks inherent in reserve estimates.

The following summary sets forth future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves based on the standardized measure prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 932 and reconciles the changes from the original transaction estimates to the amended transaction estimates.

(1) The reconciling differences as shown in the table above are the result of the 10% overriding royalty interest not acquired in the amended transaction.

In accordance with SEC and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) requirements, our estimated net proved reserves and standardized measure at December 31, 2022 utilized prices (subsequently adjusted for quality and basis differentials) based on the twelve month unweighted average of the first of the month prices of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) oil price which equates to $93.67 per Bbl and an average Henry Hub spot gas price which equates to $6.358 per MMBtu of gas. Furthermore, future development costs include abandonment costs.
