The company has also stated that it may grant underwriters the option to purchase up to an additional 850,000 shares.
Citigroup (NYSE:C) and Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) are serving as joint book-running managers and underwriters for the offering, which is subject to market and other conditions. There is no certainty regarding the completion or the exact terms of the offering at this stage.
The proceeds from the offering are earmarked for repaying part of the debt that Diversified expects to incur from its proposed acquisition of Maverick Natural Resources, LLC, which was announced on January 27, 2025.

This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the shares, and there will be no sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.
