Black Stone struck a standstill deal with its large Series B Preferred holder, AP Basileia SPV: the Partnership agreed not to redeem the Preferred Units through November 2027, while the holder agreed to vote with the board's recommendations and not transfer its units freely until then - settling governance terms around the sizable preferred stake originally sold in the 2017 Noble Energy deal financing.
Black Stone issued a press release announcing its first-quarter 2018 financial and operating results, furnished with this 8-K. The filing itself gave no figures on borrowing base or acquisitions.
Black Stone amended its credit agreement to carve the Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units out of the facility's debt and financial covenants. Subject to certain restrictions, it also permitted distributions and redemptions on those units.

Black Stone made its largest acquisition to date: buying Noble Energy's fee mineral and royalty interests - roughly 1.1 million gross (140,000 net) mineral acres plus 380,000 gross acres of non-participating royalty interests and 600,000 gross acres of overriding royalty interests across 20 states (concentrated in Texas, Oklahoma and North Dakota) - for about $335 million cash. It funded the deal with $300 million from a new private placement of Series B Preferred Units to a Carlyle Group affiliate and a $35 million draw on its revolving credit facility.

Black Stone signed merger agreements to acquire additional mineral interests, planning to fund part of the consideration with up to 2,494,562 common units (worth about $41.9 million) alongside cash, expected to close by the third quarter of 2017 - part of its ongoing unit-funded mineral-acquisition strategy.
Black Stone's operating subsidiary amended its Wells Fargo-led credit agreement, extending the termination date from February 3, 2017 to February 4, 2019. The borrowing base was set at $550 million (down from $600 million) until the next redetermination on April 1, 2016.
Black Stone Minerals announced plans to tender for up to 100% of its own 117,963 outstanding Series A Preferred Units at par value ($1,000/unit) plus accrued yield - a buyback to retire its preferred equity, not a merger.
