Bay De Chene Disposition

    Effective December 22, 2017, the Company closed a purchase and sale contract to sell the Company's wellbores and facilities in the Bay De Chene field and recorded a $16.3 million obligation related to the funding of certain plugging and abandonment costs. Of the $16.3 million original obligation, no amount was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The remaining obligation under this contract is $0.5 million and is carried in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet current liability in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” as of March 31, 2022.

August 2021 Acquisition

On August 3, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining working interest in 12 wells that SilverBow operates and additional acreage in Webb county. The total aggregate consideration was approximately $23.0 million, consisting of $13.0 million in cash and 516,675 shares of common stock valued at approximately $10.0 million based on the Company's share price on the closing date. Management determined that substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired were concentrated in the proved oil and gas properties and have therefore accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and allocated the purchase price based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, we allocated substantially all of the purchase price to proved oil and gas properties.

October 2021 Acquisition

On October 1, 2021, we closed on an all-stock transaction to acquire oil and gas assets in the Eagle Ford with three affiliated entities. The acquired assets include working interests in oil and gas properties across Atascosa, Fayette, Lavaca, McMullen and Live Oak counties. After consideration of closing adjustments, we issued 1,341,990 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $35.6 million, based on the Company's share price on the closing date. The acquisition was subject to further customary post-closing adjustments. We incurred approximately $0.6 million in transaction costs for the year ended December 31, 2021. Management determined that substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired were concentrated in the proved oil and gas properties and have therefore accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and allocated the purchase price based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, we allocated substantially all of the purchase price to proved oil and gas properties. As part of the post-closing settlement of this acquisition

we received 41,191 shares back to our Treasury from two of the entities, and we issued 489 new shares to one of the entities during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

November 2021 Acquisition

On November 19, 2021, the Company closed on an acquisition of oil-weighted assets in the Eagle Ford. The acquired assets included wells and acreage in La Salle, McMullen, DeWitt and Lavaca counties. After consideration of closing adjustments, total aggregate consideration was approximately $77.4 million, consisting of $37.6 million in cash, 1,351,961 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $37.9 million based on the Company's share price on the closing date, and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $1.9 million. The contingent consideration consists of up to three earn-out payments of $1.6 million per year for each of 2022, 2023 and 2024, contingent upon the average monthly settlement price of WTI exceeding $70 per barrel for such year (“WTI Contingency Payout”). During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded losses of $1.2 million related to the WTI Contingency Payout recorded in “Gain (loss) on commodity derivatives, net” on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. For further discussion of the fair value related to the Company's contingent consideration, refer to Note 9 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The acquisition is subject to further customary post-closing adjustments. We incurred approximately $0.3 million in transaction costs for the year ended December 31, 2021. Management determined that substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired were concentrated in the proved oil and gas properties and have therefore accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and allocated the purchase price based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, we allocated the purchase price to proved oil and gas properties. We received $0.4 million in purchase price adjustments related to this acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
