Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed on January 7, 2025, by Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP (the "Partnership"). The filing details the entry into a Material Definitive Agreement regarding a public equity offering.

- Offering Size: 10,000,000 Common Units representing limited partner interests.

- Over-Allotment Option: Underwriters granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,150,000 Common Units.

Material Changes and Strategic Actions
The Partnership intends to contribute the net proceeds to its Operating Company in exchange for common units. These funds will specifically be used to repay debt under the revolving credit facility. Notably, several underwriters in this offering are also lenders under the credit facility being repaid. The filing states that the cash portion of a recently announced acquisition of mineral and royalty interests from Boren Minerals will be funded by future borrowings under the same revolving credit facility.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The Offering is expected to close on January 9, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Partnership indicated it may use future borrowings for general partnership purposes, including the potential redemption of all or a portion of its Series A Preferred Units. The filing notes standard risks associated with underwriting agreements, including indemnification obligations and customary termination provisions. The transaction was conducted in compliance with FINRA Rule 5121.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Confirm the final closing date of the offering (expected January 9, 2025) and whether the over-allotment option is exercised.
- Verify the exact amount of debt repaid from the revolving credit facility post-closing.
- Monitor the funding status of the Boren Minerals acquisition, which relies on future borrowings rather than the current offering proceeds.
- Review the full Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for specific indemnification terms and conditions to closing.
