Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Granite Ridge” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation, initially formed in May 2022, whose common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Company was created for the purpose of the Business Combination (as defined below), and following the Business Combination, for the purpose of purchasing non-operated oil and natural gas assets in multiple basins in North America and realizing profits through participation in oil and natural gas wells.
On October 24, 2022, the Business Combination closed and was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and Grey Rock Energy Fund III (as defined below) was determined to be the accounting acquirer and Predecessor (as defined below).
Business Combination
On October 24, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Granite Ridge and Executive Network Partnering Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ENPC”), consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among ENPC, Granite Ridge, ENPC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (“ENPC Merger Sub”), GREP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (“GREP Merger Sub”), and Granite Ridge Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly known as GREP Holdings, LLC (“GREP”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) ENPC Merger Sub merged with and into ENPC (the “ENPC Merger”), with ENPC surviving the ENPC Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge and (ii) GREP Merger Sub merged with and into GREP (the “GREP Merger,” and together with the ENPC Merger, the “Mergers”), with GREP surviving the GREP Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Ridge (the transactions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) the “Business Combination,” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”).
Immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions, the net assets of Grey Rock Energy Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund I”), Grey Rock Energy Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II-A”), Grey Rock Energy Fund II-B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II-B”), and Grey Rock Energy Fund II-B Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II-B Holdings”, and together with Fund II-A and Fund II-B, collectively, “Fund II”), and Grey Rock Energy Fund III-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund III-A”), Grey Rock Energy Partners Fund III-B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund III-B”), and Grey Rock Energy Fund III-B Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund III-B Holdings” and together with Fund III-A and Fund III-B, collectively, “Fund III” or “Predecessor”) were transferred (through various intermediary entities) to GREP (the “GREP Formation Transaction”). Fund I, Fund II and Fund III are collectively referred to herein as the “Funds”.
At the special meeting of ENPC stockholders held in connection with the Business Combination, of the 41,400,000 shares of ENPC Class A common stock, public stockholders of 39,343,496 shares of ENPC Class A common stock exercised their rights to have those shares redeemed for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.07 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $396.1 million. The holders of membership interests in GREP (the “Existing GREP Members”) and their direct and indirect members were issued 130.0 million shares of Granite Ridge common stock at the closing. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, each public stockholder’s ENPC common stock and ENPC warrants were automatically converted into an equivalent number of shares of Granite Ridge common stock and Granite Ridge warrants as a result of the Transactions. At the effective time of the Mergers, (i) 495,357 shares of ENPC Class F common stock were converted to 1,238,393 shares of ENPC Class A common stock (of which an aggregate of 220,348 shares were subsequently forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2022, by and among ENPC, Granite Ridge, and certain other parties thereto (the “Sponsor Agreement”)) and the remaining shares of ENPC Class F common stock outstanding were automatically cancelled for no consideration (the “ENPC Class F Conversion”) (ii) all other remaining shares of ENPC Class A common stock automatically cancelled without any conversion, payment or distribution (the “Sponsor Share Cancellation”) and (iii) all shares of ENPC Class B common stock outstanding were deemed transferred to ENPC and surrendered and forfeited for no consideration (the “ENPC Class B Contribution”). In January 2023, 220,348 of the 371,518 shares subject to vesting and forfeiture provisions under the terms of the Sponsor Agreement were forfeited.
Following the ENPC Class F Conversion, the Sponsor Share Cancellation, the ENPC Class B Contribution and the separation of the securities offered in ENPC’s initial public offering, which consisted of one share of Class A common stock and one-quarter of one ENPC warrant (“CAPSTM Separation”), each share of ENPC Class A common stock outstanding was automatically converted into one share of Granite Ridge common stock. Total aggregate investment by ENPC was $6.8 million, which amount represents total risk capital contributed by ENPC, including working capital loans that were forgiven.

On October 24, 2022, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company issued 10,349,975 common stock warrants. On June 22, 2023, the Company completed an offer to holders of its outstanding warrants which provided such holders the opportunity to receive 0.25 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each warrant tendered by such holders (the “Offer”). This Offer coincided with a solicitation of consents from holders of the warrants to amend the warrant agreement governing such warrants to permit the Company to require that each warrant that remained outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged for 0.225 shares of the Company’s common stock (together with the Offer, the “Warrant Exchange”). On June 22, 2023, the Company issued 2,471,738 shares of common stock in exchange for 9,887,035 warrants tendered in the Offer, with a minimal cash settlement in lieu of partial shares. In July 2023, each remaining outstanding warrant was converted into 0.225 shares of the Company’s common stock, and subsequently, no warrants remained outstanding.
