PHX Minerals on Thursday said that its shareholders should decline the WhiteHawk Energy proposal.
WhiteHawk first offered to acquire PHX for $4 a share in cash in November 2023. The company has been attempting to engage with PHX for over 19 months, including several proposals to acquire the company. Most recently in October of this year, WhiteHawk reiterated its offer to purchase the oil and gas company.
PHX Minerals said rejecting the offer is in the best interest of the company's stockholders, but didn't elaborate further.
"We and PHX management continue to review opportunities that are focused on maximizing stockholder value," it said in a statement.
