(“Viking”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) to amend its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 12, 2021 (the “Initial Report”) to (i) supplement the financial information provided with the Initial Report, to include the pro forma effects of the Disposition (as defined below) on Viking’s oil and gas reserves and the standardized measure of future net cash flows, based on the information disclosed in Viking’s annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020; (ii) to revise the pro forma financial information presented for the year ended December 31, 2020, to reflect the recognition of deemed dividends associated with modifications of Viking’s Series C Preferred Stock; and (iii) provide additional narrative relative to the rationale behind the Disposition.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 5, 2021, Viking entered into an Assignment of Membership Interests (the “Assignment Agreement”) with TO Ichor 2021, L.L.C. (“Assignee”), pursuant to which Viking assigned all of its membership interests in Ichor Energy Holdings, L.L.C. (“Holdings”) to the Assignee, effective October 5, 2021 (such assignment the “Disposition”).

Holdings is the owner of all of the membership interests in Ichor Energy, LLC (“Ichor Energy”), which owns all of the membership interests of Ichor Energy LA, LLC (“Ichor LA”) and Ichor Energy TX, LLC (“Ichor TX” and, together with Holdings, Ichor Energy and Ichor LA, the “Ichor Entities”), which collectively owned approximately 58 producing wells, 31 salt water disposal wells, 46 shut in wells and 4 inactive wells as of June 30, 2021. The assets held by the Ichor Entities were acquired by the Ichor Entities in December 2018 from an affiliate of the Assignee (the “Original Acquisition”).

In connection with the Original Acquisition, Holdings and Ichor Energy entered into that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2018, by and among Holdings, Ichor Energy, ABC Funding, LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan”). The obligations under the Term Loan are secured by mortgages on the oil and gas leases of the Ichor Entities, a security agreement covering all assets of Ichor Energy, and a pledge by Ichor Holdings of all if the membership interests in Ichor Energy. Viking is not a party to the Term Loan. Concurrent with the closing of the Original Acquisition and entrance into the Term Loan in December 2018, Ichor Energy also entered into one or more hedge contracts with respect to a certain percentage of the estimated oil and gas production from Ichor Energy’s oil and gas assets, expiring on or about December 28, 2022.

The consideration for the conveyance of the Ichor Entities by Viking was the assumption by Assignee of all of the obligations associated with the Ichor Entities. Please see the pro forma financial statements provided herewith as Exhibit 99.1 for more detailed information on treatment of the transactions under the Assignment Agreement.

The Assignment Agreement contains a right of first refusal, and provides that if the Assignee receives an arms-length bona fide offer from any third party to purchase any of the membership interests in Holdings, such interests shall first be offered to Viking, and Viking shall have the right, exercisable within thirty (30) calendar days, to elect to purchase such membership interests upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are contained in the offer.

At the time of the disposition, the Ichor Entities were current with debt service payments under their loan agreements.  Below is a list of several factors impacting Viking’s decision to enter into the Assignment Agreement to effect the Disposition:

• Viking had previously taken steps to execute on its diversification strategy, including having completed transactions as disclosed in Viking’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 9, 2021, and August 23, 2021.

• The financing agreements to which the Ichor Entities were a party contained (i) high interest rates in Viking’s view, and (ii) hedge contracts limiting the price for which the associated hydrocarbons could be sold.

• The financing arrangements were isolated to the Ichor Entities (Viking was not a party to the loan agreements), and the large majority the cash flow generated by the Ichor Entities was ring-fenced at each subsidiary pursuant to requirements in the loan agreements. Accordingly, there was limited cash flow to Viking except for minor administrative fees and certain allowances. Any surplus cash flow was required to remain at the Ichor level.

• In Viking’s view, enhancing the asset value of the Ichor Entities would have required significant additional equity contributions for development. Viking did not believe that additional equity contributions were in the best interest of Viking’s shareholders, given the existing Ichor debt arrangements.

• Strategically, Viking believed its stockholders would be better served by transferring ownership of Holdings to a third party, which reduced Viking’s overall indebtedness on a consolidated basis.

The foregoing description of the Assignment Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified by, the full text of the Assignment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
