### Footnotes:

(1) On December 18, 2025, the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 14, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Berry Corporation (bry) (the "Issuer"), California Resources Corporation ("CRC"), and Dornoch Merger Sub, LLC ("Merger Sub") were consummated. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer with the Issuer surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of CRC (the "Merger").

(2) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Berry Common Stock"), beneficially owned by the Reporting Person at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") was converted into the right to receive 0.0718 (the "Exchange Ratio") shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of CRC ("CRC Common Stock"), with cash paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares (the "Merger Consideration").

(3) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding restricted stock unit not subject to performance-based vesting conditions ("RSU") that accelerated at the Effective Time in accordance with its terms ("Single Trigger RSU") was cancelled in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Berry Common Stock subject to such Single Trigger RSU multiplied by the product of (a) $47.21 (the VWAP per share of CRC Common Stock for the 15 consecutive trading days ending on and including the second full trading day prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the Merger Agreement) and (b) the Exchange Ratio .
