Material Changes and Events
The primary material event is the execution of a Purchase Agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as representative for the sale of the 2026 Notes. The closing of this offering is explicitly conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions related to the Company's business combination with EnerVest.

- Regulatory Status: The 2026 Notes are being sold pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and are intended for resale only to qualified institutional buyers (Rule 144A) or persons outside the United States (Regulation S).
- Market Relationships: The Initial Purchasers and their affiliates may hold long or short positions in the Issuers' securities and engage in trading activities that could impact the market for the Issuers' debt and equity.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the actual net proceeds received after the final deduction of fees and expenses.
- Review the full text of the Purchase Agreement for specific covenants and termination provisions not detailed in this summary.
