Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 8, 2018, Texas South Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a participation agreement dated effective January 1, 2018 (the “Agreement”) with Delek GOM Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of Delek Group Ltd. (“Delek”), and GulfSlope Energy, Inc. (“GulfSlope”) (collectively, the “Parties”) for the farm-out of the Company’s interests in its Gulf of Mexico oil and gas leases (the “Farm-out”). The Agreement sets out the terms and conditions of the Parties participation in the drilling of up to a multi-phase exploration program targeting the Company’s prospects (the “Prospects”) located on the Company’s existing leases (the “Leases”).

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Parties have committed to drill the Company’s “Canoe” and “Tau” prospects (the “Initial Phase”) with Delek having the option to participate in two additional two-well drilling phases and a final, three-well drilling phase (collectively, the “Phases”). In January 2018, the Company acquired from GulfSlope its 20% interest in the Vermilion South Addition Block 378 (“Canoe Prospect”) and in August 2017 the Company acquired from GulfSlope its 20% interest in Ship Shoal Block 351 and in Ship Shoal Block 336, which are collectively referred to as the Tau Prospect. In each Phase, Delek will earn a 75% working interest upon paying 90% of the exploratory costs associated with drilling each exploratory well. The Company will retain a 5% working interest while paying 2% of the exploratory costs associated with drilling each well. In addition, Delek will pay the Company $405,000 for each exploration plan filed with BOEM and/or BSEE on a Prospect in each Phase. Also, each Party will be responsible for its pro rata share (based on working interest) of delay rentals associated with the Prospects. GulfSlope will be the Operator during exploratory drilling of a Prospect, however, subsequent to a commercial discovery, Delek will have the right to become the Operator. Delek will have the right to terminate this Agreement at the conclusion of any drilling Phase. Delek will also have the option to purchase up to 5% of the Company’s common stock upon fulfilling its obligation for each Phase (maximum of 20% in the aggregate) at a price per share equal to a 10% discount to the 30-day weighted average closing price for the Company’s common stock preceding the acquisition. This option will expire January 8, 2020. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of the terms, provisions and conditions of such document, and represents only a summary of certain of the principal terms, provisions and conditions thereof.

 

The Company will assign a two-tenths of one percent of 8/8ths net profits interest in certain of the Company’s oil and gas leases to include Vermilion Area, South Addition 378, Ship Shoal Area, South Addition 336, and Ship Shoal Area, South Addition 351, to Hi-View Investment Partners, LLC (“Hi-View”) in consideration for consulting services provided pursuant to a non-exclusive consulting engagement dated October 25, 2017, by and between Hi-View, the Company, and GulfSlope (the ”Advisory Agreement”). Hi-View will be entitled to additional assignments on the same terms and conditions as described above related to any of Leases whereby Delek elects to participate in drilling of an exploratory well. In addition, the Company issued twenty million shares of its common stock to Hi-View in consideration for consulting services provided pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. In the event that Delek has not funded the $405,000 payment referenced above within six months of execution of this Agreement, then the common stock will be returned by Hi-View to the Company.
