Each Purchaser (i) obtained, or was given sufficient time and opportunity to obtain but declined to do so, an independent fairness
opinion in regard to the Transactions; (ii) has made its own inquiry and investigation into and, based thereon, has formed an independent
judgment concerning the Closing Consideration, and each Purchaser has been furnished with or given full access to such information about
Closing Consideration as it requested and considered material and/or necessary in determining whether the terms of this Agreement and
the Transactions are fair and whether to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transactions; (iii) is relying upon its own independent
judgment, knowledge, understanding, and investigation of the matters pertinent hereto and is not relying upon any promises, statements,
representations, covenants, warranties, understandings, expectations, or agreements, whether written or oral, express or implied, made
by the Sellers, any Affiliate of the Sellers, or any other Person, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement; and (iv) expressly
waives reliance on, and any claims against, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and representatives related to alleged unfairness
of the terms of this Agreement or the Transactions.
(b)
Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Sellers may possess information not known to such Purchaser that may affect
the value of the ORRI, the Seller Note and the Preferred Units purchased by such Purchaser from Pogo Royalty hereunder, (ii) the Sellers
may not have disclosed such information (if any) to such Purchaser, (iii) such information could affect the price of the ORRI, the Seller
Note and the Preferred Units purchased by such Purchaser from Pogo Royalty, and (iv) such Purchaser is experienced, sophisticated, and
knowledgeable in (A) the trading and/or purchasing of instruments of companies such as the ORRI, the Seller Note and the Preferred Units,
and (B) the oil and gas industry and related business transactions. Each Purchaser has, based on such information as it deemed adequate
and appropriate and the representations and warranties set forth in Article III, made its own independent evaluation of the value
of the ORRI being purchased by it hereunder without any reliance on the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates or any representatives
(other than, for the avoidance of doubt, its reliance on the representations and warranties set forth in Article III). Each Purchaser
further understands and acknowledges (A) the disadvantage to which such Purchaser may be subject due to any disparity of information,
and (B) that neither the Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates or representatives shall have any liability to such Purchaser
due to or in connection with the non-disclosure of information (if any) in connection with the Transactions.
(c)
For purposes of negotiating, considering the merits of, and executing this Agreement and the Transactions, the Purchasers acknowledge
that neither the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates is or was a fiduciary of any Purchaser, whether based on an informal or formal fiduciary
relationship. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except with respect to claims for intentional common law fraud, in
executing this Agreement, each Purchaser unequivocally represents, acknowledges, and states that such Purchaser is knowingly waiving (i)
any claim that this Agreement was induced by any misrepresentations or nondisclosure, and (ii) any right to rescind, amend, or avoid this
Agreement based upon presently existing facts, whether known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, or based on any alleged fiduciary duty,
special relationship, or any other alleged duties of any kind whatsoever.
Section 4.7
No Other Representations or Warranties. Except as expressly set forth in Article III hereof, neither the Sellers
nor any of their Affiliates or representatives has made and shall not be deemed to have made to the Purchasers or to any of their respective
representatives or Affiliates any representation or warranty of any kind, and any such other representations or warranties are hereby
expressly disclaimed, and each Purchaser hereby expressly disclaims reliance on any such other representation or warranty. Except as expressly
set forth in Article III hereof, no Person has been authorized by the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives
to make any representation or warranty relating to the Closing Consideration, the Company, or otherwise in connection with the Transactions
and, if made, each Purchaser disclaims reliance on such representation or warranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
except as expressly set forth in Article III hereof, none of the Sellers, their respective Affiliates or representatives, or any
other Person makes or has made, and the Purchasers have not relied on, any representation or warranty to Purchasers or to any of their
respective representatives or Affiliates with respect to (a) any projections, reserves, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets of
future revenues, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component
thereof), or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Closing Consideration or the Company heretofore or hereafter
delivered to or made available to such Purchaser or its representatives or Affiliates, or (b) any other information, statements,
or documents heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to such Purchaser or its representatives or Affiliates.

COVENANTS
Section 5.1
Seller Note Proceeds. During the period between the execution of this Agreement and earlier of the Closing Date or the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII (the “Interim Period”), Pogo Royalty waives its right under
Section 4(c)(i) of the Seller Note to receive any net proceeds raised in connection with the issuance of equity securities (but not debt
securities). Each Purchaser agrees, however, not to issue any debt securities or otherwise incur indebtedness for borrowed money during
the Interim Period without the prior written consent of Pogo Royalty (it being understood that such consent shall not be required to incur
indebtedness at the Closing if the Closing Consideration is paid in full, including with a portion of such indebtedness). Each Purchaser
also agrees that no cash proceeds of any financing activities undertaken during the Interim Period will be used to repay indebtedness
under private notes or to repurchase any equity securities. For the avoidance of doubt, Pogo Royalty is not waiving any of the other covenants
under Section 4 of the Seller Note.
Section 5.2
No Litigation. During the Interim Period, no Party shall (a) institute or prosecute against any other Party any action,
or other Legal Proceeding relating to any claim arising under or in connection with the MIPA or the acceleration or enforcement of the
Seller Note (the “Standstill Matters”) or (b) authorize, solicit, participate in, or cooperate with, directly
or indirectly, the commencement or prosecution against other Party of any action or other Legal Proceeding related to the Standstill Matters.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.2 shall not restrict, in any manner, the right of each Party to enforce the terms
of this Agreement.
Section 5.3
Payment Mechanics. The Purchasers agree that, to the extent any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates enters into any arrangements
in connection with obtaining financing for the Transactions pursuant to which the ORRI will be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred
to a third party purchaser (an “ORRI Third Party Purchaser”), the ORRI will instead be sold directly to such
ORRI Third Party Purchaser concurrently with the Closing. In addition, the Purchasers agree that all funds originating from financing
activity undertaken directly by the Company (i.e., at the parent level) that will be used to pay the Note Payoff Fee will be contributed
as a capital contribution directly from the Company to OpCo and will be held in an OpCo bank account prior to wiring to Pogo Royalty.
In addition, the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith with respect to any request by the other Party relating to coordinating with
and instructing transfer agents, securities intermediaries, brokers and similar Persons.
Section 5.4
Public Announcements; Securities Filings. The Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall consult
with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement and consider
in good faith any comments provided by the other Party; provided, however, that neither Party shall make any disparaging or otherwise
negative reference to the other Party without the such Party’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion).
In addition, the Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall give such other Party a reasonable opportunity
to comment on any filing to be made with the SEC and consider all such comments in good faith.
Section 5.5
Cooperation. The Purchasers agree to keep the Sellers reasonably apprised of the status of any financing undertaken in connection
with this Agreement or the Transactions, including, but not limited to, a financing as described in Section 5.3. In addition, the
Purchasers agree to enter into a customary non-disclosure agreement with any potential counterparty identified by the Sellers, provide
any information reasonably requested by such counterparty and engage in good faith discussions with such counterparty.
Section 5.6
Further Assurances. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions
necessary or appropriate to consummate the Transactions, including the execution and delivery of such documents and other instruments
as may reasonably be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, including with respect to the negotiation of the Transaction
Documents. After Closing, each of the Parties agree to take such further actions and to execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such further
documents necessary or appropriate for carrying out the purposes of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document delivered pursuant
to this Agreement.
Section 5.7
Release; Covenant Not to Sue; Non-Disparagement.
(a)
Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.7(c) or with respect to intentional common law fraud, effective as of the Closing,
each Seller, on behalf of itself and its current and/or former officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives,
Affiliates, predecessors, successors, attorneys, assigns, and any other Person who may assert a claim by or through such Seller(collectively,
the “Seller Releasing Parties”), hereby forever release, discharge, and acquit the Purchasers and their respective
current and/or former officers, directors, members, partners, employees, equity holders, agents, representatives, Affiliates, predecessors,
successors, attorneys, and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Released Parties”) of and from any claims,
demands, disputes, rights, actions or causes of action, orders, obligations, debts and liabilities, arbitration, lawsuits or Legal Proceedings
of any kind, nature or description whatsoever, whether direct, derivative, individual, representative, or in any other capacity, upon
any legal or equitable theory (tort, contract or otherwise), whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, concealed
or hidden, suspected or unsuspected, which such Seller Releasing Party ever had, now has or may have arising out of or related to (i)
the Company, OpCo, EONR Royalties, Pogo Resources, LH Operating, LLC and their Affiliates and their business, management, assets, and
operations (including royalties payable) or (ii) the MIPA, in each case from the beginning of the world to the Closing (collectively,
the “Seller Released Claims”). Subject to Section 5.7(c) below, this is a full and final release of all
Seller Released Claims and is intended to be and shall be deemed for all purposes to be as broad and comprehensive with respect to such
matters as permitted under Law. Accordingly, at the Closing, the Seller Releasing Parties shall have been deemed to have waived any provisions,

Legal Proceeding based in whole or in part upon any Seller Released Claims. No Seller Releasing Party shall hereafter initiate or participate
(except as required by a valid subpoena or other legal process directed to such Seller Releasing Party) in any claim, lawsuit, or other
Legal Proceeding of any type in any way arising out of, related to or involving the Seller Released Claims. The Seller Releasing Parties
shall notify the Purchasers in writing within five (5) days of any initiation of, or request to participate in, any such claim, lawsuit,
or other Legal Proceeding. The Sellers agree that if any Seller Releasing Party, or any party acting on behalf of any Seller Releasing
Party, commences any legal proceeding regarding the subject matter of the Seller Released Claims and any Purchaser Released Party is made
a party to such legal proceeding, the Sellers will join with the Purchaser Released Party to take all actions necessary to have such Legal
Proceeding immediately dismissed.
(c)
Nothing in this Section 5.7 shall prohibit any of the Sellers from enforcing the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser
Documents or the respective obligations of the Purchasers, individually or collectively, under this Agreement and the Purchaser Documents,
to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

the “Purchaser Releasing Parties”), hereby forever release, discharge, and acquit the Sellers and their respective
current and/or former officers, directors, members, partners, employees, equity holders, agents, representatives, Affiliates, predecessors,
successors, attorneys, and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Released Parties”) of and from any claims, demands,
disputes, rights, actions or causes of action, orders, obligations, debts and liabilities, arbitration, lawsuits or Legal Proceedings
of any kind, nature or description whatsoever, whether direct, derivative, individual, representative, or in any other capacity, upon
any legal or equitable theory (tort, contract or otherwise), whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, concealed
or hidden, suspected or unsuspected, which such Purchaser Releasing Party ever had, now has or may have arising out of or related to (i)
the Company, OpCo, Pogo Resources, LH Operating, LLC and their Affiliates and their business, management, assets, and operations (including
with respect to LH Operating, LLC employee compensation claims) or (ii) the MIPA, in each case from the beginning of the world to the
Closing (collectively, the “Purchaser Released Claims”). Subject to Section 5.7(f) below, this is a full
and final release of all Purchaser Released Claims and is intended to be and shall be deemed for all purposes to be as broad and comprehensive
with respect to such matters as permitted under Law. Accordingly, at the Closing, the Purchaser Releasing Parties shall have been deemed
to have waived any provisions, rights, and benefit conferred by any Law providing that a general release does not extend to unknown claims.
(e)
Effective as of the Closing, no Purchaser Releasing Party shall (i) institute or prosecute against any Seller Released Party any
action or other Legal Proceeding based in whole or in part upon the Purchaser Released Claims or (ii) authorize, solicit, participate

or other Legal Proceeding of any type in any way arising out of, related to or involving the Purchaser Released Claims. The Purchaser
Releasing Parties shall notify the Sellers in writing within five (5) days of any initiation of, or request to participate in, any such
claim, lawsuit, or other Legal Proceeding. Each Purchaser agrees that if any Purchaser Releasing Party, or any party acting on behalf
of any Purchaser Releasing Party, commences any legal proceeding regarding the subject matter of the Purchaser Released Claims and any
Seller Released Party is made a party to such legal proceeding, the Purchasers will join with the Seller Released Party to take all actions
necessary to have such Legal Proceeding immediately dismissed.
(f)
Nothing in this Section 5.7 shall prohibit any of the Purchasers from enforcing the terms of this Agreement, the Seller
Documents or the respective obligations of the Sellers, individually or collectively, under this Agreement and the Seller Documents, to
the fullest extent permitted by Law.

For a period of five years after the Closing Date, each Party agrees not to make, and shall instruct its officers, directors, agents,

(a)
This Agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to

Exhibit 99.1
EON Resources Inc. Announces
Agreement with Seller will: Restructure Balance
Sheet;
Eliminate approximately $40MM in debt and obligations;
Purchase the 10% Overriding Royalty Interest
in the Property
HOUSTON, TX / February 11, 2025 / EON Resources
Inc. (NYSE American: EONR) (“EON” or the “Company”) announced it has entered into an agreement with Pogo Royalty,
LLC (“Pogo” or “Seller”) that would result in a restructure of EON’s balance sheet through (a) the retirement
of a promissory note to Seller having an original principal amount of $15,000,000, (b) the purchase of a 10% Overriding Royalty Interest
(“ORRI”) in the Company’s oil field property from Seller and (c) the repurchase of 100% of preferred units held by Seller
in EON’s subsidiary which would otherwise convert into the Company’s Class A common stock on November 15, 2025 pursuant to
a formula. The total consideration payable to Pogo in connection with the restructuring consists of $22,000,000 in cash from EON plus
the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to the Seller.
The agreement is subject to various closing conditions,
including, without limitation, that the Company obtain adequate financing to fund the cash consideration portion, and that the agreement
shall terminate if the closing does not take place within 120 days. The agreement also contains mutual general releases, which shall be
effective upon the closing of the agreement.
The effect on the Company’s balance sheet
and financial position exclusive of the final financing arrangements the secure the $22 million in cash consideration is anticipated to
include the following:
| ● | A
reduction of liabilities comprised of principal and accrued interest debt owing to Seller of approximately $18,000,000 |
| ● | Reduction
of $24,000,000 of redemption value of the currently outstanding preferred units held by Seller. |
| ● | The
ORRI which is valued at $14 million and is presently generating approximately $200,000 per month in proceeds. |
| ● | The
elimination of outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. |
“Over
the past 15 months, EON has continued to develop its Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field by reinvesting available cash flow into field
enhancements,” said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of EON. “The overhang from our De-SPAC transaction in terms of one-time
expenses, and a very complicated and burdened balance sheet, has restricted our ability to really unlock the underlying potential and
value of our assets. This transaction should create immediate value for our equity holders. We are currently looking at a range of options
to finance this purchase, and are in discussions with various financial advisors to assist us in this endeavor.”
About the Oil Field Property
In November 2023, the Company acquired LH Operating,
LLC (“LHO”) including its holdings in New Mexico of oil and gas waterflood production comprising 13,700 contiguous leasehold
acres, 342 producing wells and 207 injection wells situated on 20 federal and 3 state leases in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field. The Grayburg-Jackson
Oil Field is located on the Northwest Shelf of the prolific Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico.
Leasehold rights of LHO, now a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, include the Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg and San Andres intervals that range from as shallow as 1,500 feet to 4,000 feet
in depth. The December 2023 reserve report from our third-party engineer, William H. Cobb and Associates, Inc. (“Cobb”), reflects
LHO to have proven reserves of approximately 15.4 million barrels of oil and 3.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The mapped original-oil-in-place
(“OOIP”) in the LHO leasehold is approximately 876 million barrels of oil in the Grayburg and San Andres intervals and 80
million barrels in the Seven Rivers interval for a total OOIP of approximately 956,000,000 barrels of oil.
Our primary production is currently from the Seven
Rivers zone. In addition to proven reserves, the Company believes it may access an additional 34 million barrels of oil by adding perforations
in the Grayburg and San Andres formations. With proven oil reserves of over 15 million barrels, combined with the potential 34 million
additional barrels from the Grayburg and San Andres zones, LHO should produce oil and a revenue stream for more than two decades with
a low decline rate.
About EON Resources Inc.

States. EON’s long-term goal is to maximize total shareholder value from a diversified portfolio of long-life oil and natural gas
