EXPLANATORY NOTE
DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
These Post-Effective Amendments relate to the following Registration Statements on Form S-3 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) of Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), which were previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and are being filed by the Company to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof:
•File No. 333-251643, initially filed with the SEC on December 23, 2020, registering the offer and sale of up to $60,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share; and
•File No. 333-276105, initially filed with the SEC on December 18, 2023, registering the offer and sale of up to $60,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share.
On November 11, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Tres Energy LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Parent”), and ARE Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). The Agreement contemplated that Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). As permitted under Section 11.06(b) of the Merger Agreement, Parent assigned its rights and obligations under the Merger Agreement to ARE Equity Corporation, a Texas corporation and an affiliate of Parent, and in connection with such assignment Merger Sub became a wholly owned subsidiary of ARE Equity Corporation. The Merger became effective as of February 4, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) as a result of the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in each of the Registration Statements to remove from registration by means of a post–effective amendment any securities registered under the Registration Statements which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any securities registered under the Registration Statements which remained unsold as of the Effective Date, if any. After giving effect to these Post-Effective Amendments, there will be no remaining securities registered by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statements.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused these Post-Effective Amendments to the Registration Statements to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on February 4, 2025.
