For the Predecessor period ending May 17, 2021, the Company has an effective tax rate of (3.3)% and an income tax benefit of $8.0 million. The tax benefit is entirely attributable to an Oklahoma refund claim associated with an examination relating to historical tax returns. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the Company’s valuation allowance position and the permanent adjustments relating to the Chapter 11 Emergence. For the Successor Period, the Company has an effective tax rate of 0.03% and tax expense of $39 thousand. The tax expense is entirely attributable to the Oklahoma refund claim that was filed during the third quarter, resulting in an adjustment to the benefit recorded during the Predecessor Period. We did not record any additional income tax expense for the Successor Period as a result of maintaining a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset.
