Permian Resources Plans Holding Company Reorganization, Completion Expected Q1 2026
Permian Resources Corporation agreed on December 22, 2025 to reorganize under a new Delaware holding company, PRC NewCo Inc, which will replace the current company as the NYSE-listed public parent and keep the ticker PR. Class A shares convert one-for-one, and certain Class C holders, including Co-CEOs James Walter and Will Hickey, will exchange their OpCo units for new Class A shares, with the company stating that its ticker, trading and total share count will remain the same.
Key points
- The company expects to complete the reorganization in the first quarter of 2026, under Section 251(g) of Delaware law, which does not require a shareholder vote.
- New PR is expected to issue 48,916,754 Class A shares to Contributing Members immediately after the effective time, in a private placement exempt from Securities Act registration.
- OpCo entered into an Eleventh Amendment to its credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, which the company says makes technical changes to permit the reorganization.
- The company said its Board and Audit Committee unanimously approved the reorganization, and that it anticipates eliminating its Up-C structure by year-end 2027.
