Subsequent Events Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of issuance of these financial statements, and there have been no events subsequent to December 31, 2021, other than those items disclosed below, that would require additional adjustments to our disclosure in our financial statements.

$200.0 million Senior Notes Issuance

In February 2022, we issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.250% senior notes due 2026 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes were issued as additional notes pursuant to our $500.0 million issuance in May 2021 as described in NOTE 8 – Debt. The New Notes will be treated as a single series and will vote together as a single class with the Senior Notes, and have identical terms and conditions, other than the issue date, the issue price and the first interest payment, as the Senior Notes.

Uinta Basin Acquisition

In February 2022, Javelin VentureCo, LLC (the “Purchaser”), one of our subsidiaries, and OpCo entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Verdun Oil Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase from Seller all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Purchased Interests”) of Uinta AssetCo, LLC, a to-be formed Texas limited liability company which will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (“UtahCo”). UtahCo will hold all exploration and production assets of and certain obligations of EP Energy E&P Company, L.P. located in the state of Utah (the “Utah Assets”).

Seller will receive aggregate consideration of approximately $815.0 million in cash and the assumption of certain hedges, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement. OpCo has agreed to guarantee Purchaser’s obligation to fund the purchase price at closing, which is expected to occur in the first half of 2022.

In connection with the closing of the transaction, we anticipate entering into an amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the elected commitment amount to $1.3 billion. However, there can be no assurances we will consummate this transaction or that we will enter into such amendment to our Revolving Credit Facility.

Chama

In February 2022, we contributed all the assets and prospects in the Gulf of Mexico formerly owned by Contango to Chama Energy LLC (“Chama”), an entity in which we retain an interest of approximately 9.4%. Such interest is valued at
approximately $3.75 million. John Goff, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, holds an interest of approximately 17.5% in Chama, and the remaining interest is held by other investors. Pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Chama, we may be required to fund certain workover costs and we will be required to fund plugging and abandonment costs related to producing assets held by Chama (collectively, “Crescent Contributions”). We will receive 90.0% of cash flows from the producing assets, which amount is increased for any Crescent Contributions.

Dividend

On March 9, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share, or $0.48 per share on an annualized basis, to be paid to our shareholders with respect to the fourth quarter of 2021. The quarterly dividend is payable on March 31, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 18, 2022.
The payment of quarterly cash dividends is subject to management’s evaluation of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in connection with such payments and approval by our Board of Directors. In light of current economic conditions, management will evaluate any future increases in cash dividends on a quarterly basis.
