Acquisitions | Acquisitions 2024 Acquisition On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the Arrangement with Enerplus and issued 20,680,097 shares of common stock and paid $375.8 million of cash to Enerplus shareholders. Also on May 31, 2024, and pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Company (i) paid cash to settle Enerplus equity-based compensation awards, (ii) paid cash to satisfy and discharge in full the Enerplus credit facility and (iii) paid a cash retention bonus to Enerplus employees. Preliminary purchase price allocation. The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Arrangement at their estimated fair value on May 31, 2024 of $4.1 billion. Goodwill was recognized as a result of the Arrangement, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes, and is primarily attributable to additional operational and financial synergies expected to be realized from the combined operations. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Enerplus required judgement and certain assumptions to be made. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements for additional information. The tables below present the total consideration transferred and its preliminary allocation to the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting goodwill as of the acquisition date of May 31, 2024. As provided under ASC 805, the purchase price allocation may be subject to change for up to one year after May 31, 2024, which may result in a different allocation than that presented in the tables below. Since the acquisition date, the Company has recorded an adjustment to the purchase price allocation, and a corresponding decrease to goodwill, totaling $9.2 million. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including oil and gas properties, are not yet finalized and are subject to revision as additional information becomes available and more detailed analyses are completed.
