Upon consummation of the Extraction Merger, the Company changed its name from “Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc.” to “Civitas Resources, Inc.” On November 2, 2021, the first trading day following the Closing Date, common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”) began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the new name and new ticker symbol “CIVI.”

Extraction Merger

Pursuant to the Extraction Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Extraction Merger (as defined below) (the “Extraction Merger Effective Time”), (i) Raptor Eagle Merger Sub merged with and into Extraction (the “Extraction Merger”), with Extraction continuing its existence as the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company following the Extraction Merger (the “Extraction Surviving Corporation”), (ii) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Extraction (the “Extraction Common Stock”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time was converted into the right to receive 1.1711 shares of Company Common Stock for each of share of Extraction Common Stock (the “Extraction Exchange Ratio”), with cash paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares, if any, and (iii) each holder of Extraction Common Stock received a total dividend equalization payment, as part of the Extraction Merger consideration, of approximately 0.017225678 shares of Company Common Stock per share of Extraction Common Stock related to the Company’s June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 dividends, with cash paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares, if any. Following the Extraction Merger and prior to the Crestone Peak Merger (as defined below), persons who were stockholders of Extraction immediately prior to the Extraction Merger owned approximately 50% of the combined company and persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Extraction Merger owned approximately 50% of the combined company.

Additionally, pursuant to the Extraction Merger Agreement, at the Extraction Merger Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units (including those subject to performance-based vesting conditions) issued pursuant to Extraction’s 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan

2

(the “Extraction Equity Plan”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time and that by its terms did not settle by reason of the occurrence of the closing of the Extraction Merger (each, an “Extraction RSU Award”) was assumed by the Company and converted into a number of restricted stock units with respect to shares (rounded to the nearest number of whole shares) of Company Common Stock (such restricted stock unit, a “Converted RSU”) equal to the product of the number of Extraction Common Stock subject to the Extraction RSU Award immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time multiplied by the Extraction Exchange Ratio, effective as of the Extraction Merger Effective Time.

As of the Extraction Merger Effective Time, each Converted RSU continued to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and forfeiture) that were applicable to the corresponding Extraction RSU Award immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time. However, any Extraction RSU Award subject to performance-based vesting conditions continued to be measured pursuant to the same terms and conditions of the underlying Extraction RSU Award in effect as of immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time. In addition, Converted RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions held by certain Extraction executives provide that, in the event such individual’s employment is terminated for death, disability, by the Company for any reason other individual for good reason, in each case, on or within twelve months following the Closing Date, the portion of such individual’s Converted RSU subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall, effective as of such individual’s termination date, immediately vest in full based on deemed achievement of any applicable performance goals at the maximum level of performance. Further, effective as of immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time, each award of deferred stock units granted under the Extraction Equity Plan and held by a member of the Extraction board who is not a designee of Extraction for appointment to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as of the Extraction Merger Effective Time immediately vested in full.

Additionally, at the Extraction Merger Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of (i) the Extraction Tranche A warrants to purchase Extraction Common Stock, issued pursuant to that certain Warrant Agreement by and between Extraction and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as warrant agent, dated as of January 20, 2021 (the “Tranche A Warrants”), and (ii) the Extraction Tranche B warrants to purchase Extraction Common Stock, issued pursuant to that certain Warrant Agreement by and between Extraction and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as warrant agent, dated as of January 20, 2021 (the “Tranche B Warrants,” and, together with the Tranche A Warrants, the “Extraction Warrants”), that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time, were cancelled and the Company executed a replacement warrant agreement for the Tranche A Warrants and a replacement warrant agreement for the Tranche B Warrants (each, a “Replacement Warrant Agreement”) and issued to each holder of the Extraction Warrants a replacement warrant (each, a “Replacement Warrant”) that is exercisable for a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would have been issued or paid to a holder of the number of shares of Extraction Common Stock into which such Extraction Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Extraction Merger Effective Time. Each Replacement Warrant has an exercise price as set forth in the applicable Replacement Warrant agreement, subject to adjustment as set forth therein.

The Replacement Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on (x) January 20, 2025, in the case of the Replacement Warrants for the Tranche A Warrants, or (y) January 20, 2026, in the case of the Replacement Warrants for the Tranche B Warrants. The number shares of Company Common Stock for which a Replacement Warrant is exercisable, and the exercise price of such Replacement Warrant, are subject to customary adjustments from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including the payment of in-kind dividends or distributions, splits, subdivisions or combinations of shares of Company Common Stock. A holder of a Replacement Warrant, in its capacity as such, is not entitled to any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, except to the extent expressly provided in the applicable Replacement Warrant agreement.

Crestone Peak Merger

Pursuant to the Crestone Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Crestone Peak Merger (as defined below) (the “Crestone Merger Effective Time”), (i) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Crestone Peak (the “Merger Sub 1 Merger”), with Crestone Peak continuing its existence as the surviving corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company following the Merger Sub 1 Merger (the “Crestone Surviving Corporation”), and (ii) subsequently, the Crestone Surviving Corporation merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Merger Sub 2 Merger” and together with the Merger Sub 1 Merger, the “Crestone Peak Merger” and together with the Extraction Merger, the “Transactions”), with Merger Sub 2 continuing its existence as the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Crestone Surviving Entity”).

Pursuant to the Crestone Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger Sub 1 Merger (the “Merger Sub 1 Merger Effective Time”), the shares of Crestone Peak common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Crestone Peak Common Stock”) (excluding shares of Crestone Peak Common Stock held by Crestone Peak as treasury shares or by the Company or Merger Sub 1 immediately prior to the Merger Sub 1 Merger Effective Time), issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Sub 1 Merger Effective Time were converted into the right to collectively receive 22,500,000 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Crestone Peak Merger Consideration”). In addition, at the effective time of the Merger Sub 2 Merger (the “Merger Sub 2 Merger Effective Time”), each share of common stock of the Crestone Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Sub 2 Merger Effective Time was automatically cancelled and each unit of Merger Sub 2 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Sub 2 Merger Effective Time remained issued and outstanding and represents the only outstanding units of the Crestone Surviving Entity immediately following the Merger Sub 2 Merger.

The Crestone Merger Agreement does not provide for specific treatment of equity compensation awards in connection with the Crestone Peak Merger. Certain Crestone Peak employees held profits interest and phantom equity awards based upon the Class B units of CPR vested in connection with the Crestone Peak Merger under the terms and conditions of the governing equity compensation plans. No employees received settlement payments with respect to any outstanding profits interests, but the outstanding phantom equity awards vested in connection with the Crestone Peak Merger and certain Crestone Peak employees received an aggregate amount of approximately $1.5 million in cash for settlement with respect to the outstanding phantom equity awards in connection with the Crestone Peak Merger.

In addition, if such Qualifying Termination occurred within the 12-month period after a change in control of the Company, the severance entitlements would be modified to provide a severance payment of 3.0x base salary for Mr. Owens and 2.0x for Ms. Foschi.
