(&quot;Legacy Amplify&quot;) and Midstates Holdings, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (&quot;Merger Sub&quot;), on August 6, 2019, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Amplify, with Legacy Amplify surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and immediately thereafter, as part of the same transaction, Legacy Amplify merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, with such subsidiary continuing as the surviving entity (the &quot;Merger&quot;). At the closing of the Merger, each outstanding restricted stock unit and performance stock unit award held by the Reporting Person immediately became fully vested and was settled in shares of the Issuer's common stock.</footnote>
