ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
On October 6, 2022, BitNile Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") issued a press release announcing that its wholly owned subsidiary,
Ault Energy, LLC ("Ault Energy"), and White River Operating LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of White River Energy Corp. ("White River"), have successfully
completed drilling a 9,531 foot well, the Harry O'Neal 20-9 No. 1 (the "O'Neal
No. 1 Well"), on White River's oil and gas mineral lease in Holmes County,
Mississippi.
The Company obtained participation rights with respect to the O'Neal No. 1 Well
and future oil wells when it invested $12 million in Ecoark Holdings, Inc.
("Ecoark") on June 8, 2022. Ecoark beneficially owns approximately eighty-three
percent (83%) of White River's capital stock. The Company, through Ault Energy,
exercised its participation right and acquired a forty percent (40%) working
interest in the O'Neal No. 1 Well, which is the first project in an expected
long-term partnership between White River and the Company, which was previously
announced in July 2022 with the intention to drill approximately 100 oil wells
over five years.
A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated by reference herein.
