Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Viper Energy Partners LLC (“OpCo”),
a consolidated subsidiary of Viper Energy, Inc. (“Viper”), entered into a unit purchase and sale agreement with an affiliate
of Kimmeridge Energy Management Company, LLC (collectively, “Kimmeridge”) dated December 11, 2025, pursuant to which
OpCo is repurchasing 1,000,000 units representing limited liability company membership interests in OpCo (“OpCo Units”) from
Kimmeridge for an aggregate purchase price of $40,650,000, or $40.65 per OpCo Unit (the “Repurchase”), equivalent to the last
Nasdaq closing price of Viper’s Class A Common Stock prior to the Repurchase. A corresponding number of shares of Viper’s
Class B Common Stock owned by Kimmeridge will be cancelled.

 

The Repurchase is being effected pursuant to Viper’s
existing $750 million repurchase program, which the Viper Board of Directors expanded to also include repurchases of OpCo Units and Class B
Common Stock. The Repurchase was approved by the audit committee of Viper’s Board of Directors. In addition to the OpCo Units and
shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Repurchase, as of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Viper has repurchased
a total of 1,402,749 shares of Class A Common Stock since September 30, 2025 for a total cost of $52.3 million, leaving approximately
$240.9 million available under its $750 million share repurchase authorization, in each case excluding excise tax.
