Are there any alternative offers or strategic alternatives that the board is considering besides this transaction?

Based on the Business Wire statement dated August 7 2025, the only transaction currently highlighted is the proposed sale of Aris Water Solutions, Inc. (ARIS) to Western Midstream Partners, LP – a swap of 0.625 Western common units per Aris share or a cash consideration of $25 per share.

The press release from Halper Sadeh LLC only discusses its investigation into whether that transaction is fair to Aris shareholders; it does not mention any other bids, alternative purchase offers, or other strategic alternatives that the Aris Board is evaluating.

Therefore, with the information provided:

  • No alternative offers or strategic alternatives have been publicly disclosed by the board in connection with this transaction.
  • The only disclosed deal is the Western Midstream Partners transaction.

If you require more details on the board’s strategic considerations, you would need to consult further disclosures (e.g., the company’s proxy statement, any public board statements, or filings with the SEC) that might outline other options the board might be evaluating. The current news release does not contain any such information.
