Vivakor, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIVK), an integrated energy infrastructure and environmental services company, has entered into a securities purchase agreement with a leading institutional investor for the sale of 8,417,645 shares of common stock and 14,689,851 pre-funded warrants exercisable at $0.001 per share. The registered direct offering, priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules, is expected to close on or about Oct. 17, 2025, subject to customary conditions. Gross proceeds total approximately $5 million before fees, with net proceeds earmarked for working capital and general corporate purposes. D. Boral Capital LLC is acting as exclusive placement agent.
This capital raise is significant for Vivakor as it strengthens the company's financial position amid its operations in crude oil transportation and facility services. The company's two main business segments include crude oil trucking and pipeline transportation, as well as terminaling and storage of crude oil and its byproducts. Vivakor's transportation services are centered in key U.S. basins such as Colorado's DJ Basin, Central Oklahoma's STACK play, and the Permian and Eagle Ford Basins of Texas. These regions are among the most active for oil and natural gas exploration, with the Permian Basin alone producing approximately 1,300 barrels of crude oil per day per new well. The company's trucking fleet and the Omega Gathering Pipeline, a 45-mile pipeline in Blaine County, Oklahoma, provide critical infrastructure for moving crude oil to storage hubs like Cushing, Oklahoma.
The $5 million injection will support Vivakor's working capital needs, enabling the company to scale its operations and pursue growth opportunities. The involvement of a leading institutional investor signals confidence in Vivakor's business model and growth trajectory. For more details, visit the full press release at https://ibn.fm/DduAO.

The offering not only bolsters the company's balance sheet but also positions it to capitalize on increasing demand for crude oil infrastructure. As the energy sector continues to evolve, Vivakor's integrated services remain vital for producers seeking efficient and reliable movement of crude oil from wellhead to market.
