10-K&rdquo;). The Company has determined that it is unable to file its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable
effort or expense due to integration efforts related to the merger with Extraction Oil &amp; Gas, Inc., and its acquisition of CPPIB Crestone
Peak Resources America Inc. (the &ldquo;Extraction and Crestone Peak Mergers&rdquo;). Due to the financial significance and timing of
this merger activity in the last quarter of 2021, management of the Company has determined that it requires additional time to complete
its review of the Company&rsquo;s financial statements and other disclosures in the Form 10-K. The Company intends to file the Form 10-K
no later than the fifteenth calendar day after its prescribed due date.</P>
