Summary
WaterBridge is executing a coordinated capital raise and deployment strategy. The company intends to offer $100 million of 6.500% senior notes due 2033 as an add-on to its existing $600 million series, using proceeds to pay down its revolving credit facility. This shifts borrowings from short-term revolving debt to long-term fixed-rate debt, locking in the 6.500% rate through 2033.
Concurrently, WaterBridge upsized its revolving credit facility from $500 million to $750 million with improved pricing (margins reduced by 0.25%), providing increased financial flexibility for growth. The company is deploying capital into strategic acquisitions and infrastructure.
It entered into an agreement to acquire a landfill facility in Lea County, New Mexico for net consideration of approximately $169 million (closing expected in Q3 2026), expanding its Desert Environmental waste management operations. It also closed an $80 million acquisition of Ranger Water Midstream in June, adding produced water disposal and gathering infrastructure in the Delaware Basin. The Speedway Pipeline, a major infrastructure project providing 500,000 barrels per day of produced water throughput capacity, commenced initial operations in July and is expected to be fully operational in Q3 2026, addressing regulatory constraints on in-basin disposal and supporting continued production growth in the Delaware Basin.

On August 4, 2026, the Issuer entered into an amendment (the “RCF Amendment”) to the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility to increase its aggregate revolving commitments from $500.0 million to $750.0 million through the exercise in full of the incremental commitment capacity available under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. Concurrently, the RCF Amendment re-established an incremental commitment capacity of up to an additional $250.0 million, which may be exercised by the Issuer from time to time, subject to the receipt of additional commitments and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility.
The RCF Amendment also reduced the applicable margins and letter of credit fees by 0.25%. As amended, borrowings under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Issuer’s option, at either (i) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum, in each case determined based on the Company’s leverage ratio.
WaterBridge amended its revolving credit facility to increase commitments from $500 million to $750 million and re-established an additional $250 million of incremental capacity. The amendment also reduced applicable margins and letter of credit fees by 0.25%, with interest rates now ranging from Term SOFR plus 1.75% to 2.75% or base rate plus 0.75% to 1.75%, based on leverage ratio. This provides increased financial flexibility to fund acquisitions and growth projects.

We commenced construction of the Speedway Pipeline in the fourth quarter of 2025 and commenced initial operations in July 2026. We expect that the Speedway Pipeline and related handling facilities will be fully completed and in service during the third quarter of 2026. Upon completion, the initial phase of the Speedway Pipeline is expected to provide 500,000 bpd of produced water throughput capacity to out-of-basin pore space located in the Central Basin Platform owned by LandBridge.
The pipeline will provide 500,000 barrels per day of produced water throughput capacity, transporting water from Eddy and Lea counties in New Mexico to out-of-basin disposal sites in the Central Basin Platform. This major infrastructure project addresses regulatory constraints on in-basin disposal and supports continued Delaware Basin production growth.

On June 11, 2026, WaterBridge announced that its board of directors formed a special committee of independent directors to evaluate a potential conversion from a Delaware limited liability company to a Texas corporation, primarily driven by index eligibility considerations. As of the date of this offering memorandum, the conversion remains under review by the special committee, although the special committee is expected to defer making a recommendation with respect to the conversion to the board of directors until such time as the public company seasoning eligibility requirements of the primary stock indexes have been satisfied. There can be no assurance that the special committee will recommend a conversion or that any such conversion, if recommended, will be completed. In addition, there can be no assurance that WaterBridge, if converted to a corporate entity, will be included in any particular index or that any such index inclusion will generate the expected benefits. The conversion, if completed, is not expected to have an impact on the Issuer’s obligations under the notes.
