Monitor HSR clearance and closing timeline. The Peak Rentals divestiture simplifies the story and provides cash. Key catalysts: Q4 2026 close, 2027 MVC ramp (175k bpd contract starting early 2027), and synergy realization. Watch for any financing updates or equity issuance details.

Risk Factors
- HSR or regulatory delays could push closing beyond Q4 2026.
- Integration risk: realizing $10–$15M in cost synergies and operational water-balancing benefits is not guaranteed.
- Equity consideration (~$100M in WTTR stock) creates modest dilution; share count will be determined by 30-day VWAP at close.
- Contingent $15M earnout tied to operational milestones; may not be achieved.
- Pro forma leverage <2.0x depends on debt financing terms and cash flow; higher leverage could constrain future flexibility.
