Barnwell Industries to sell Canadian oil and gas business for C$9 million
Barnwell Industries agreed on October 5, 2026 to sell its Canadian oil and natural gas business to 2798913 Alberta Ltd. for a base price of C$9 million, made up of C$4 million in cash and a 5% gross overriding royalty valued at C$5 million. The sale requires approval from holders of a majority of Barnwell's common stock and must close by January 18, 2027, or the agreement can be terminated. The company's board recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the transaction.

- Purchaser paid a C$1,000,000 deposit into escrow at signing, to be credited to the price at closing
- Closing requires shareholder approval, and the outside date is January 18, 2027
- A buyer affiliate may purchase the royalty for C$5,000,000 after closing, and royalty payments received beforehand do not reduce that price
