NEW YORK, NY, December 18, 2023 – Shares in Battalion Oil Corporation (NYSE American: BATL) surged more than 80% on Friday after the company announced it has agreed to be acquired by Fury Resources, Inc. for $9.80 per share in cash, which represents a total transaction value of approximately $450 million. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.
Battalion’s CEO, Matt Steele, commented, “It has been a pleasure working with Avi Mirman and his team to get the transaction to this point. Avi has a plan to become a premier player in the Delaware Basin. With the additional investment capital provided by the transaction, the company will finally be in a position to fully develop the Battalion asset base and position the company, its investors, and its employees for success.”
Avi Mirman, Executive Chairman of the Board of Fury Resources, said, “We are excited to announce this transaction with Battalion and believe we are well positioned to drive value growth for our investors as we return the asset to active development. It has been a pleasure working with the Battalion team on this transaction, and we look forward to continuing that work as we move toward a successful close.

In November 2023, Battalion reported its Q3 financial results and attributed a net loss to production challenges. The company has experienced notable fluctuations in its stock performance throughout 2023. The stock’s year-high reached $12.37, while the year-low was at $4.86, indicating volatility in trading.
