On November 1, 2021, we acquired Vine Energy, Inc. (“Vine”), an energy company focused on the development of natural gas properties in the over-pressured stacked Haynesville and Mid-Bossier shale plays in Northwest Louisiana pursuant to a definitive agreement with Vine dated August 10, 2021 (“Vine Acquisition”) for total consideration of approximately $1.3 billion, consisting of approximately 19.0 million shares of our common stock and $92 million in cash. We funded the cash portion of the consideration with cash on hand.

In conjunction with the Vine Acquisition, Vine’s Second Lien Term Loan was repaid and terminated for $163 million inclusive of a $13 million make whole premium with cash on hand due to the agreement containing a change in control provision making the term loan callable upon closing. Vine’s reserve based loan facility, which had no borrowings as of November 1, 2021, was terminated at the time of the acquisition. Additionally, Vine’s 6.75% Senior Notes with a principal amount of $950 million were assumed by the Company.

The Vine Acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination, with the fair value of consideration allocated to the acquisition date fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. Vine’s post-acquisition date results of operations will be included in the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements beginning in November 2021.
