HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 29, 2024 / HNR Acquisition Corp (NYSE American:HNRA) (the "Company" or "HNRA") announced today that the Board of Directors has approved changing the Company's corporate name to EON Resources Inc. ("EON" or the "Company").

HNRA will continue as EON as an independent energy company focused on Energy, Oil, Natural Resources, and other aspects of the Energy Industry. Our current focus is as an upstream energy company with producing oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. Our plans are to grow through acquisition and through the development and enhancement of onshore oil and natural gas properties in the United States.

The effective date of the name change to EON will be September 18, 2024. The Company has reserved with the NYSE American Exchange the ticker symbol EONR for its Class A Common Stock and EONR WS for its publicly traded warrants. The CUSIP numbers for each will remain unchanged. The Class A Common Stock and warrants are expected to begin trading on the NYSE American Exchange under the Company's new name and trading symbols effective as of market open on September 18, 2024. No action is required by existing stockholders with respect to the name and ticker symbol changes.

The Company's new website URL address effective when the Company starts to trade under the new name and ticker symbols will be www.EON-R.com.

"The changing of our name to EON Resources Inc. signifies our prior conversion from a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) to an operating company in November 2023. The Company is currently focused on oil production in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field of the Permian Basin" said Dante V. Caravaggio, CEO and President. "Our plans are to grow EON through acquisition and through the development and enhancement of onshore oil and natural gas properties in the United States. We will continue to emphasize profitability as well as increase value for our shareholders."

About the Oil Field Property

In November 2023, the Company acquired LH Operating, LLC ("LHO") including its holdings in New Mexico of oil and gas waterflood production comprising 13,700 contiguous leasehold acres, 342 producing wells and 207 injection wells situated on 20 federal and 3 state leases in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field. The Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field is located on the Northwest Shelf of the prolific Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico.

Leasehold rights of LHO, now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, include the Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg and San Andres intervals that range from as shallow as 1,500 feet to 4,000 feet in depth. The December 2023 reserve report from our third-party engineer, William H. Cobb and Associates, Inc. ("Cobb"), reflects LHO to have proven reserves of approximately 15.4 million barrels of oil and 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The mapped original-oil-in-place ("OOIP") in the LHO leasehold is approximately 876 million barrels of oil in the Grayburg and San Andres intervals and 80 million barrels in the Seven Rivers interval for a total OOIP of approximately 956,000,000 barrels of oil.

Our primary production is currently from the Seven Rivers zone. In addition to proven reserves, the Company believes we may access an additional 34 million barrels of oil by adding perforations in the Grayburg and San Andres formations. With proven oil reserves of over 15 million barrels, combined with the potential 34 million additional barrels from the Grayburg and San Andres zones, LHO should produce oil and a revenue stream for more than two decades with a slow decline rate.
