Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Benchmark has agreed to purchase and Revolution has agreed to sell certain upstream assets and related facilities (the &#8220;Assets&#8221;) in Texas and Oklahoma, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (such purchase and sale, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Sale Agreement, the &#8220;Transaction&#8221;). </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, which has an economic effective date of March&#160;1, 2024, the aggregate consideration to be paid to Revolution in the Transaction will consist of $145&#160;million in cash (the &#8220;Purchase Price&#8221;), subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Benchmark expects the Transaction to close in the second quarter of 2024 subject to customary closing conditions, as more fully described below. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><span style="font-style:italic">Purchase Price. </span>The Company&#8217;s expected contribution to Benchmark to fund its portion of the Purchase Price, including the Deposit (as defined below), is $57.5&#160;million which the Company anticipates will be funded from cash on hand. The remainder of the Purchase Price is expected to be funded by a combination of borrowings by Benchmark under a new revolving credit agreement of approximately $72.5&#160;million and the remaining being funded through a cash contribution of approximately $15&#160;million from McArron Partners, the other investor in Benchmark. Following the Transaction, the Company&#8217;s interest in Benchmark is expected to be approximately 73.1%. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><span style="font-style:italic">Deposit</span>. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Benchmark has deposited an amount equal to 7.5% of the unadjusted Purchase Price, or $10.875&#160;million (the &#8220;Deposit&#8221;), into a third-party escrow account. At the closing of the Transaction, the Deposit (together with any interest earned thereon) will be retained in the escrow account as a holdback for six months following the closing of the Transaction (the &#8220;Initial Holdback Release Date&#8221;). Following the Initial Holdback Release Date, <span style="white-space:nowrap">one-half</span> of the Deposit less all undisbursed or unpaid alleged damages or defects required to be disbursed to Benchmark or required to be retained by the escrow agent shall be released to Revolution. The remainder of the Deposit shall be released to Revolution promptly following the later of the <span style="white-space:nowrap">12-month</span> anniversary of the closing of the Transaction or the final, <span style="white-space:nowrap">non-appealable</span> resolution by a court order or settlement of any claims made pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><span style="font-style:italic">Closing Conditions</span>. The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that the closing of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, among others, (a)&#160;the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party (subject to specified materiality standards and customary qualifications), (b) compliance by each party in all material respects with their respective covenants, and (c)&#160;the absence of any governmental order restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction or any pending governmental proceeding in respect thereof. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><span style="font-style:italic">Termination Rights</span>. The Purchase and Sale Agreement also provides for certain termination rights for Benchmark and Revolution, including, among others (and subject to certain exceptions in each case), (a) by mutual written consent of the parties, (b)&#160;by Benchmark, upon material breach by Revolution of its obligations under the Purchase and Sale Agreement that is either of such magnitude that it will not be possible for a closing condition to be satisfied or that causes a failure of a closing condition (subject to notice and cure periods), (c) by Revolution, upon material breach by Benchmark of its obligations under the Purchase and Sale Agreement that is either of such magnitude that it will not be possible for a closing condition to be satisfied or that causes a failure of a closing condition (subject to notice and cure periods), (d) by either Benchmark or Revolution if the Transaction has not closed by June&#160;30, 2024 or such later date as shall be mutually agreed to in writing by the parties (the &#8220;Long-Stop Date&#8221;), provided that the failure to close does not result primarily from the terminating party&#8217;s material breach of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (e)&#160;by either Benchmark or Revolution if the consummation of the Transaction is made illegal or otherwise prohibited under any legal requirement or permanently enjoined, prohibited or otherwise permanently restrained by the terms of a final, <span style="white-space:nowrap">non-appealable</span> order, decree, ruling or other action, and (f)&#160;by either Benchmark or Revolution, if the sum of (i)&#160;all Title Defect Values (as such term is defined in </p>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Acquisition expands upon Acacia&#146;s strategy within its Benchmark subsidiary of driving returns through a focus on cash flow. This is accomplished
through acquiring predictable and shallow decline, cash-flowing oil and gas properties whose value can be enhanced via a disciplined, field optimization strategy, with risk managed through robust commodity hedges and low leverage. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Kirk Goehring, Benchmark&#146;s Chief Executive Officer commented: &#147;The acquisition of these assets represents a transformative moment in Benchmark
Energy&#146;s history and an important next step in our partnership with Acacia and McArron. This unique asset is expected to deliver attractive, mature production with multiple drivers to enhance value. After closing this acquisition, Benchmark
will have a large, contiguous acreage position in the heart of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Mid-Continent,</FONT> and incremental scale to continue driving meaningful operational enhancements to create attractive returns for our stakeholders
for many years to come.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">MJ McNulty, Jr., Acacia&#146;s Chief Executive Officer, added, &#147;We have always envisioned the Benchmark subsidiary as
a platform, partnering with its highly talented leadership team, to acquire high-quality, cashflow-generating oil and gas assets. The Benchmark team has an established track record for acquiring excellent assets that possess attractive return
profiles. This transaction is an example of that strategy in action and a meaningful first step of what we expect to be multiple acquisitions within the Benchmark platform. We continue to believe there is an opportunity to acquire outstanding assets
at attractive valuations.&#148; </P>

well as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-operated</FONT> interest in the undeveloped Cherokee play. The wells are mature, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-decline</FONT> production and will add significant diversification to
Benchmark&#146;s production, with a balanced <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pro-forma</FONT> portfolio of approximately 60% liquids and 40% natural gas. Further, the Assets&#146; proximity to Benchmark&#146;s existing operations in Texas creates
further potential to develop operational synergies of scale in the basin. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Additional Information </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The transaction is expected to be funded utilizing cash from Benchmark&#146;s existing owners, Acacia and McArron Partners, as well as committed debt financing
from a group of local, regional banks. Acacia&#146;s share of the consideration is expected to be approximately $57.5&nbsp;million. Closing of the transaction, which is expected in the second quarter of 2024, is subject to customary closing
