In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01 and set forth in the attached Exhibit 99.1 is deemed to be "furnished" solely pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT** 

In connection with the proposed merger (the "Proposed Transaction") between Talos and EnVen Energy Corporation ("EnVen"), Talos has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") to register the shares of Talos's common stock to be issued in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The Registration Statement includes a document that serves as a prospectus and proxy statement of Talos and a consent solicitation statement of EnVen (the "proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus"), and each party has filed other documents regarding the Proposed Transaction with the SEC. **INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF TALOS AND ENVEN ARE URGED TO CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY READ, WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE PROXY STATEMENT/CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AS EACH MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED BY TALOS AND ENVEN WITH THE SEC BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TALOS AND ENVEN, THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION, THE RISKS RELATED THERETO AND RELATED MATTERS.**

After the Registration Statement has been declared effective, a definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of each of Talos and EnVen. Investors will be able to obtain free copies of the Registration Statement and the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, as each may be amended from time to time, and other relevant documents filed by Talos and EnVen with the SEC (when they become available) through the website maintained by the SEC at *www.sec.gov*. Copies of documents filed with the SEC by Talos, including the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus (when available), will be available free of charge from Talos's website at *www.talosenergy.com* under the "Investor Relations" tab.

**PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION** 

Talos, EnVen and certain of their respective directors, executive officers and other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Talos's stockholders and the solicitation of written consents from EnVen's stockholders, in each case with respect to the Proposed Transaction.

Information about EnVen's directors and executive officers is available via EnVen's website at www.enven.com. Other information regarding the participants in the solicitations and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, is contained in the Registration Statement, the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and other relevant materials filed with the SEC regarding the Proposed Transaction. Security holders, potential investors and other readers should read the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus carefully before making any voting or investment decisions.

Cautionary Statements Cautionary StatementRegarding Forward-LookingStatements This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this presentation, regarding our strategy, future operations, the impact of regulatory changes, financial position, estimated capital expenditures, production, revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, the words "could," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to theoutcomeandtiming of futureevents. We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks include, but are not limited to the success of the proposed transaction with EnVen Energy Corporation and anticipated future performance of the future company, the success of our carbon capture and sequestration projects, commodity price volatility, sustained inflation and the impact of central bank policy in response thereto, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, environmental risks, orders, regulations and directives issued by the Biden administration and state and local governmental authorities, COVID-19 impacts, the lack of a resolution to the war in Ukraine and its impact on certain commodity markets, the impact of the ongoing sub-surface water flood project in the Phoenix field and any updates to our estimated ultimate recovery from such project, changes to federal income tax laws and regulations, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022,, failure to find, acquire or gain access to other discoveries and prospects or to successfully develop and produce from our current discoveries and prospects, geologic risk, drilling and other operating risks, well control risk, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures, risks related to the integration of recently acquired assets, including the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions are not realized when expected or at all, as well as other factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022 and other filingswiththeU.S.SecuritiesandExchangeCommission("SEC"). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Exceptas otherwiserequiredby applicablelaw,wedisclaim anydutyto updateanyforward-lookingstatements,to reflecteventsor circumstancesafterthedateof thispresentation. ReserveInformation Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas and NGLs that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions upward or downward of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately recovered. In addition, we use the terms "resource" and "net pay" in this presentation, which are not measures of reserves prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines or permittedto be includedin SEC filings.Theseresourceestimatesare inherentlymoreuncertainthanestimatesof reservespreparedin accordancewithSECguidelines. Unless otherwise indicated, reserve estimates shown in this presentation were prepared based on specified management price parameters of $80.00/bbl of oil and $3.50 per MMBtu of natural gas in perpetuity, rather than price parameters that would be required in a filing with the SEC. We believe that the use of flat pricing provides useful information about our reserves, as the specified prices reflect what we believe to be reasonable assumptions as to average future commodity prices over the productive lives of our properties. However, we caution you that the pricing used in preparing the reserve report is not a projection of future oil and natural gas prices, and should be carefully considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, SEC prices, when considering our oil, natural gas and NGL reserves. In addition, the SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions for such terms. In this presentation, we use certain broader terms such as "recoverable resources" that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit from inclusion in filings with the SEC. These types of estimates do not represent, and are not intended to represent, any category of reserves based on SEC definitions, are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and do not constitute reserves within the meaning of the SEC's rules. These estimatesare subjectto greateruncertainties,andaccordingly,are subjectto a substantiallygreaterrisk of actuallybeingrealized.Investorsareurgedto considercloselythedisclosuresandrisk factorsin thereportswefile withtheSEC. Estimates for our future production volumes are based on assumptions of capital expenditure levels and the assumption that marketdemand and prices for oil and gaswill continue at levels that allow for economic production of these products. The production, transportation and marketing of oil and gas are subject to disruption due to transportation and processing availability, mechanical failure, human error, hurricanes, global political and macroeconomic events and numerous other factors. Our estimates are based on certain other assumptions, such as well performance, which may vary significantlyfromthoseassumed.Therefore,wecan giveno assurancethatourfutureproductionvolumeswill be as estimated. Use of Non-GAAPFinancialMeasures This presentation includes the use of certain measures that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally acceptable accounting principles (GAAP), including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. Non-GAAP financial measures havelimitationsas analytical toolsandshouldnotbe consideredin isolationor as a substitutefor analysisof ourresultsas reportedunderGAAP. Use of Projections This presentation contains projections, including production volumes and capital expenditures. Our independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, have not expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projected information. Even if our assumptions and estimates are correct, projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside our control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projected results are indicative of our future performance after completion of the transaction or that actual results will not differ materially fromthosepresentedin theprojectedinformation.Inclusionof theprojectedinformationin thispresentationshouldnotbe regardedas a representationbyanypersonthattheresultscontainedin theprojectedinformationwill be achieved. Industryand MarketData; Trademarks andTrade Names This presentation has been prepared by us and includes market data and other statistical information from sources we believe to be reliable, including independent industry publications, governmental publications or other published independent sources. Some data is also based on our good faith estimates, which are derived from our review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness.

Transaction-related expenses were $4.5 million, $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Decommissioning obligation expense was less than $0.1 million, $10.2 million, $0.3 million and $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 there was also a $2.5 million gain related to the settlement of an acquired imbalance. The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gain) loss and net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, which are recognized at the end of each accounting period because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges. This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDA on an unrealized basis during the period the derivatives settled. (2) Includes $27.5 million gain as a result of the settlement agreement to resolve previously pending litigation that was filed in October 2017 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. (3) Includes a $1.4 and $13.9 million gain on partial sale of our investment in Bayou Bend for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Note: Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges provides useful information regarding our results of operations and profitability by illustrating the operating results of our oil and natural gas properties without the benefit or detriment, as applicable, of our financial oil and natural gas hedges. By excluding our oil and natural gas hedges, we are able to convey actual operating results using realized market prices during 30 the period, thereby providing analysts and investors with additional information they can use to evaluate the impacts of our hedging strategies over time.
