The Transaction represents a premium of approximately 20% to the 30-day volume weighted average share price (W.A.P.) as of Friday, April 17th, 2024 and approximately 29% to the 90-day volume W.A.P. of the same date.

“We are very pleased to announce this transaction last night. MILF has been seeking to enter the Brazzers play for some time now and Cougar Valley had just the assets we need in a way that will be accretive to our 2024 through 2028 rock-hard growth plan. Despite reporting poor 2023 Q4 results, Cougar Valley, under the direction of its President and CEO, Chuck Kockbanger, has turned operations around so far in 2024 Q1 with a solid drilling program to resurrect over roughly sixty-nine 50+ year-old unconventional wells in the super-hot Milfonian pools within the Brazzers play. Our strategy will be to continue re-completing and re-drilling an inventory of aging wells and former dry holes using our proprietary Lube, Pump, and Squeeze completion technique,” P. Ennis, MILF’s chairman

Mr. P. Ennis continued to tell 2P News’ mergers and acquisitions correspondent, Cynthia Redbush, “Will our 2024 capital program be hard to implement? Yes. Do we expect explosive results and record fluid production as we exit the year? Also a chubby and firm yes.”
