⁽¹⁾

Represents amount of cash consideration, adjusted for customary closing items, for the purchase of the Pecos County Assets funded by the issuance of approximately $400.1 million of new 8% automatically convertible preferred stock and borrowings under the Predecessor Credit Agreement.

⁽²⁾

In accordance with the purchase agreement, the effective date of the acquisition was November 1, 2016 (Predecessor) and therefore revenues, expenses and related capital expenditures from November 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017 (Predecessor), the closing date of the Pecos County Acquisition, have been reflected as adjustments to the purchase price consideration.

⁽³⁾

In estimating the fair value of the Pecos County Assets’ oil and natural gas properties, the Company used an income approach. For purposes of estimating the fair value of the proved, probable and possible reserves, an income approach was used which estimated fair value based on the anticipated cash flows associated with the Pecos County Assets’ estimated reserves risked by reserve category and discounted using a weighted average cost of capital rate of 10.0% for proved reserves and 12.0% for probable and possible reserves. The proved reserve locations were limited to wells expected to be drilled in the Company’s five-year development plan. This estimation includes the use of unobservable inputs, such as estimated future production, oil and natural gas revenues and expenses. The use of these unobservable inputs results in the fair value estimate of the Pecos County Assets being classified as Level 3.

⁽⁴⁾

Weighted average commodity prices utilized in the determination of the fair value of oil and natural gas properties were $76.10 per barrel of oil, $4.14 per Mcf of natural gas and $29.48 per barrel of oil equivalent of natural gas liquids, after adjustment for transportation fees and regional price differentials. Base pricing was derived from an average of forward strip prices and research analysts’ estimated prices.

⁽⁵⁾

In estimating the fair value of the Pecos County Assets’ other operating property and equipment, the Company used a combination of the cost and market approaches. A market approach was relied upon to value the land, heavy equipment and vehicles, and in this valuation approach, recent transactions of similar assets were utilized to determine the value from a market participant perspective. For the remaining other operating assets, a cost approach was used. The estimation of fair value under the cost approach was based on current replacement costs of the assets, less depreciation based on the estimated economic useful lives of the assets and age of the assets.
