WhiteHawk is focused on being the premier natural gas mineral and royalty business in the United States. We are committed to delivering cash flow and total returns to our investors through the disciplined acquisition, active management and ownership of high-quality mineral and royalty interests. Our assets are concentrated in the Marcellus and Haynesville Shales, which are located in the Appalachian and Haynesville Basins, which are among the most productive and lowest-cost U.S. natural gas basins(1). Upon completion of the offering, we will own the largest, high-quality publicly traded natural gas mineral portfolio in the United States(2). As a mineral and royalty business, we do not pay any drilling-related capital expenditures and only minimal operating expenses on our properties. This results in a high-margin business and allows us to distribute a meaningful portion of our cash flow to investors, while providing them with potential for significant capital appreciation over time. As of March 31, 2026, our portfolio spans approximately 3.4 million gross DSU acres, including 1.6 million gross DSU acres across the Appalachian and Haynesville Basins and represents an economic interest in approximately 13%(3) of all natural gas produced in the United States as of December 31, 2025. Further, we have more than 10,900 producing wells and more than 8,000 remaining identified undeveloped locations as of December 31, 2025. The Appalachian and Haynesville Basins form the core of U.S. natural gas production and are among the most prolific energy-producing regions globally. If measured against sovereign nations, the Appalachian Basin would rank as the world’s second-largest natural gas producer, with daily production of approximately 33 Bcf/d, and the Haynesville Basin would rank eighth with daily production of approximately 13 Bcf/d(4). In 2025, the Appalachian and Haynesville Basins together accounted for more than 50%(5) of total U.S. dry gas production, providing the foundation of domestic natural gas supply and export growth. Our mineral interests are concentrated in the core of these premier natural gas regions and offer long-term participation in two of the largest, most active and lowest-cost natural gas weighted basins in the United States(6). WhiteHawk’s mineral interests are developed by many of the largest, most active and well-capitalized natural gas operators in the United States, including EQT (NYSE: EQT), Range Resources (NYSE: RRC), CNX Resources (NYSE: CNX), Antero Resources (NYSE: AR), Expand Energy (NASDAQ: EXE), Comstock Resources (NYSE: CRK) and Aethon Energy. In 2025, approximately 18%(7) of all wells drilled in the Appalachian and Haynesville Basins were located on acreage in which we hold royalty interests. Our significant footprint across both basins provides alignment and scale with these premier operators. In 2025, EQT was the largest natural gas producer in the Appalachian Basin, and Expand Energy was the largest producer in the Haynesville Basin(8). In the same year, approximately 49% of EQT’s Appalachian production and 57% of Expand Energy’s Haynesville production were sourced from acreage in which we hold royalty interests(9). Because our mineral interests are concentrated within these operators’ active and planned development areas, we can benefit directly from their scale, financial strength and efficiency. Our exposure to leading operators enables us to gain from their continuous development across commodity cycles and provides a resilient base for predictable cash flow growth. Leveraging our scale and position alongside leading operators, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on two powerful natural gas demand catalysts: artificial intelligence (“AI”) driven electricity demand growth and expanding U.S. liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) exports. Natural gas remains the most reliable, scalable and cost-effective source of baseload power and accounted for approximately 41%(10) of total U.S. electricity generation in 2025. The rapid buildout of AI and cloud-computing infrastructure is projected to create additional demand for natural gas-fired power generation, with a management-estimated 7.8 Bcf/d of total natural gas demand associated with new power plants expected to be constructed by 2031,(11) largely within WhiteHawk’s Appalachian Basin footprint. In addition to an increase in domestic demand, global demand for U.S. natural gas is expected to further accelerate through LNG export growth. The EIA projects the United States will nearly double its LNG export capacity from approximately 17 Bcf/d(12) in 2025 to nearly 34 Bcf/d by 2031(13) as European and Asian buyers seek to diversify supply and reduce exposure to higher regional benchmark prices. The Haynesville Basin’s proximity and pipeline connectivity to the Gulf Coast LNG corridor position our mineral interests to benefit directly from this expansion in export capacity and feed-gas demand. Together, accelerating power demand from AI and the continued buildout of LNG export capacity, inclusive of announced projects, are expected to drive a structural step-change in U.S. natural gas demand—driving roughly a 38%(14) increase in combined demand by 2031 compared to 2025 levels. WhiteHawk believes it offers public investors direct equity exposure to the powerful tailwinds of AI-driven power demand and expanding U.S. LNG exports without drilling-related capital expenditures. WhiteHawk is led by one of the most experienced and acquisitive management teams in the minerals and royalties sector. Collectively, our leadership has more than 125 years of industry experience and has completed over $31 billion of energy transactions across the upstream, midstream, and minerals and royalty value chain. Members of our team previously served as senior executives or founders of Atlas Energy (NYSE: ATLS), Atlas Pipeline Partners (NYSE: APL) and Falcon Minerals Corporation (NASDAQ: FLMN), each of which were successful public companies that generated substantial shareholder value through disciplined growth, accretive acquisitions and strategic monetizations. Since its inception, WhiteHawk has completed eight large acquisitions, making it the most active acquirer of natural gas mineral and royalty properties in the United States(15). More importantly, these acquisitions have been highly accretive to shareholders and have resulted in approximately 38%(16) cash-on-cash return to our initial investors through 49 months of consecutive cash dividend payments, plus an additional 41% increase in shareholder value through three share dividends through March 31, 2026. We continue to execute a focused consolidation strategy in a fragmented market, targeting accretive acquisitions to expand scale, enhance returns and extend development visibility. Our ability to consistently source, evaluate and close accretive transactions ahead of broader market consolidation underscores WhiteHawk’s leadership as a focused, data-driven consolidator with a proven track record of value creation. Our principal executive offices are located in Philadelphia, PA.
