FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP (NYSE: KRP) ("Kimbell") today announced the pricing of its public offering of 5,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests, at a public offering price of $15.50 per common unit. The total gross proceeds of the offering, before underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $77.5 million. Certain selling unitholders of Kimbell have granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 750,000 additional common units at the public offering price less the underwriting discount and commissions. The offering is expected to close on January 14, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.

Kimbell intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund a portion of the cash purchase price for the pending acquisition of oil and natural gas mineral and royalty interests held by Springbok Energy Partners, LLC and Springbok Energy Partners II, LLC (the "Springbok Acquisition"), as described in Kimbell's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 9, 2020, and to pay fees and expenses related to the Springbok Acquisition. Pending the closing of the Springbok Acquisition, Kimbell intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for the repayment of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Kimbell may use future amounts borrowed under its revolving credit facility for general partnership purposes, including a potential redemption of a portion of its outstanding 7.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units (the "Preferred Units").

Kimbell will not receive proceeds from the sale of common units by the selling unitholders if the underwriters' option to purchase up to 750,000 additional common units is exercised.

LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC and UBS Securities LLC are also acting as bookrunners for the offering. When available, a copy of the prospectus for the offering may be obtained from:
