NOTE 5 – ACQUISITIONS

On April 9, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of oil and gas properties from Wishbone Energy Partners, LLC, Wishbone Texas Operating Company LLC and WB WaterWorks LLC on the Northwest Shelf in Gaines, Yoakum, Runnels and Coke Counties, Texas and Lea County, New Mexico (the “Acquisition”). The acquired properties consist of 49,754 gross (38,230 net) acres and include a 77% average working interest and a 58% average net revenue interest. The Company incurred approximately $4.1 million in acquisition related costs, which were recognized in general and administrative expense during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Total consideration after purchase price adjustments included a cash payment of approximately $264.1 million and the issuance of 4,581,001 shares of common stock, of which 2,538,071 shares are being held in escrow to satisfy potential indemnification claims.  The full amount of the shares placed into escrow remain in escrow as of June 30, 2019.  The escrow shares will be released pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.  The shares were valued at the price on the date of the signing of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, February 25, 2019, of $6.19 per share.

The Acquisition was recognized as a business combination whereby Ring recorded the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair values as of February 1, 2019, which is the date the Company obtained control of the properties and was the acquisition date for financial reporting purposes. Revenues and related expenses for the Acquisition are included in our condensed statement of operations beginning February 1, 2019. The estimated fair value of the acquired properties approximated the consideration paid, which the Company concluded approximated the fair value that would be paid by a typical market participant. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed:
