Amendment Description	As reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Crescent Energy Company (formerly known as IE PubCo Inc., the “Company”) on December 7, 2021 (the “Original Crescent Form 8-K”), on December 7, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2021 (the “Transaction Agreement”), among Contango Oil & Gas Company (“Contango”), Independence Energy LLC (“Independence”), the Company, IE OpCo LLC (“OpCo”), IE L Merger Sub LLC (“L Merger Sub”) and IE C Merger Sub Inc. (“C Merger Sub”), pursuant to which each of Contango and Independence became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. Substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Transactions, the name of the Company was changed from “IE PubCo Inc.” to “Crescent Energy Company.” This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Original Crescent Form 8-K to provide the historical and pro forma financial statements described in Item 9.01 below. No other modifications to the Original Crescent Form 8-K are being made by this Amendment. This Amendment should be read in connection with the Original Crescent Form 8-K, which provides a more complete description of the Transactions.
