**CIVITAS RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)**

**NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

*Description of Operations*

When we use the terms "Civitas," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our," we are referring to Civitas Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires. Civitas is an independent exploration and production company focused on the acquisition, development, and production of crude oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico and the DJ Basin in Colorado.

*Basis of Presentation*

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Civitas and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The December 31, 2024 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our <u>[2024 Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1509589/000150958925000009/civi-20241231.htm)</u>, but does not include all disclosures, including notes required by GAAP. As such, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our <u>[2024 Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1509589/000150958925000009/civi-20241231.htm)</u>. In connection with the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date of September 30, 2025 through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other future period. Additionally, certain insignificant prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Such reclassifications did not have a material impact on prior period consolidated financial statements.

*Significant Accounting Policies*

The significant accounting policies followed by us are set forth in *Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* in the <u>[2024 Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1509589/000150958925000009/civi-20241231.htm)</u> and are supplemented by the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

*Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards*

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance income tax disclosures by requiring disclosure of items such as the disaggregation of the income tax rate reconciliation as well as information regarding income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. We adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis, and will present the required new disclosures in the 2025 Form 10-K.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to disclose disaggregated information about certain costs and expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on the consolidated financial statements and our plan for adoption, including the adoption date and transition method.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06") which amends the guidance in ASC 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. The amendments modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous "development stage" model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

permitted. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on the consolidated financial statements and our plan for adoption.

There are no other accounting standards applicable to us that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures that have been issued but not yet adopted by us as of September 30, 2025, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES**

The acquisition disclosed below is accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under ASC Topic 805, *Business Combinations*. Accordingly, we conducted assessments of the net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on inputs that are not observable in the market, and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. The fair values of crude oil and natural gas properties were measured using valuation techniques that converted future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of the crude oil and natural gas properties included estimates of reserves, future operating and development costs, future commodity prices, estimated future cash flows, reserve adjustment factors, and a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates by management at the time of the valuation.

*Vencer Acquisition*

On January 2, 2024, we completed the acquisition of certain crude oil and natural gas assets from Vencer Energy, LLC ("Vencer") for adjusted aggregate consideration of approximately $2.0 billion, inclusive of customary post-closing adjustments and $550 million in cash to be paid on or before January 3, 2025 (the "Vencer Acquisition"). The following tables present the consideration transferred and the final purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Vencer Acquisition:

The purchase price allocation for the Vencer Acquisition was finalized as of the fourth quarter of 2024 with immaterial adjustments made to the preliminary allocation initially presented in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 2, 2024.

*Revenue and Earnings of the Acquiree*

The results of operations for the Vencer Acquisition since the closing date have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The amount of revenue of Vencer included in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations ("statements of operations") was approximately $187 million and $585 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. We determined that disclosing the amount of Vencer-related net income included in the accompanying statements of operations is impracticable as the operations from the acquisition were integrated into our operations from the date of the acquisition.

*Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information*

The results of operations for the Vencer Acquisition since the closing date have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and therefore do not require pro forma disclosure for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*Transaction Costs*

Transaction costs related to an insignificant acquisition in the Permian Basin in 2025 and the Vencer Acquisition in 2024 are accounted for separately from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and are included in transaction costs in the accompanying statements of operations. Transaction costs also include costs associated with divestitures of certain non-core assets in the DJ Basin in both 2024 and 2025. We incurred transaction costs of $2 million and zero during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $8 million and $31 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Non-Core DJ Basin Divestitures*

In July 2025, we executed two Purchase and Sale Agreements (each a "PSA") with two different buyers to divest certain non-core DJ Basin assets. These transactions closed on August 29, 2025 and October 1, 2025. The aggregate purchase price for these transactions was $435 million in cash consideration, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in each PSA.

We record revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, purchaser statements may not be received for one to two months after the date production is delivered, and as a result, we estimate the volume of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. Generally, we record the differences between our estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Any identified differences between our revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have not been significant. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.

On June 3, 2025, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Senior Notes"), at par, pursuant to an indenture among us, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, and the guarantors party thereto. Upon issuance of the 2033 Senior Notes, we received net proceeds of $743 million after deducting fees of $7 million. The net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined below). The 2033 Senior Notes will mature on June 15, 2033. Interest on the 2033 Senior Notes will accrue at the rate of 9.625% per annum, and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2025.

At any time prior to June 15, 2028, we may redeem all or part of the 2033 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) the "make-whole" premium at the redemption date, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any. On or after June 15, 2028, we may redeem all or part of the 2033 Senior Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount redeemed) equal to (i) 104.813% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 15, 2028; (ii) 102.406% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 15, 2029; and (iii) 100.000% for the period beginning June 15, 2030 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

We may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2033 Senior Notes at any time prior to June 15, 2028 with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109.625% of the principal amount of the 2033 Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, provided, however, that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of 2033 Senior Notes originally issued on the issue date (but excluding 2033 Senior Notes held by us and our subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (unless all such 2033 Senior Notes are redeemed substantially concurrently) and (ii) the redemption occurs within 180 days after the date of the closing of such equity offering.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

The 2026 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes, 2030 Senior Notes, 2031 Senior Notes, and 2033 Senior Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes") are unsecured senior obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and any future unsecured senior debt and are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt. We may redeem some or all of our Senior Notes prior to their maturity at redemption prices that may include a premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest as described in the indentures governing the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our existing subsidiaries and are expected to be guaranteed by certain other future subsidiaries that may be required to guarantee the Senior Notes.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens securing indebtedness; (iii) pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock or subordinated debt; (iv) make specified types of investments and acquisitions; (v) enter into or permit to exist contractual limits on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) sell assets or merge with other companies. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. We were in compliance with all covenants and all restricted payment provisions related to our Senior Notes as of September 30, 2025 and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The indentures governing the Senior Notes also contain customary events of default.

For additional details on our Senior Notes, refer to *Note 5 - Debt* in *Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data* included in our <u>[2024 Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1509589/000150958925000009/civi-20241231.htm)</u>.

*Credit Facility*

We are party to a reserve-based revolving credit facility, as the borrower, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan"), as the administrative agent, and a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders, that has an aggregate maximum commitment amount of $4.0 billion and is set to mature on August 2, 2028 (together with all amendments thereto, the "Credit Facility" or the "Credit Agreement").

On February 21, 2025, we amended the Credit Agreement to increase our aggregate elected commitments from $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion. On May 28, 2025, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) decrease our borrowing base from $3.4 billion to $3.3 billion, (ii) reaffirm our aggregate elected commitments at $2.5 billion, and (iii) modify the definition of "Revolving Credit Maturity Date" (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to remove the springing maturity requirement that would otherwise cause the Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement to mature on the date that is 180 days prior to the scheduled maturity of our 2026 Senior Notes.

As of September 30, 2025, the borrowing base and aggregate elected commitments under the Credit Agreement were $3.3 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. In October 2025, we completed our scheduled borrowing base redetermination which reaffirmed our borrowing base and aggregate elected commitments under the Credit Agreement. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination date is set to occur in May 2026.

Interest and commitment fees associated with the Credit Facility are accrued based on a revolving loan commitment utilization grid set forth in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at our option, either (i) the Alternate Base Rate ("ABR") plus the applicable margin, or (ii) the term-specific Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus the applicable margin. ABR is established as a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan as its prime rate, (b) the applicable rate of interest published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 0.5%, or (c) the term-specific SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%, in each case, subject to a 1.5% floor, plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 1.75% based on the utilization of the Credit Facility. Term-specific SOFR is based on one-, three-, or six-month terms as selected by us and is subject to a 0.5% floor, plus an applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.75%, based on the utilization of the Credit Facility. Interest on borrowings that bear interest at the SOFR are payable on the last day of the applicable interest period selected by us, and interest on borrowings that bear interest at the ABR are payable quarterly in arrears.

The Credit Facility is guaranteed by all our restricted domestic subsidiaries and is secured by first priority security interests on substantially all assets, including a mortgage on at least 90% of the total value of the proved properties evaluated in the reserve reports most recently delivered to the lenders under the Credit Facility, including any engineering reports relating to the crude oil and natural gas properties of our restricted domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and affirmative covenants. The Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants, which, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, including the suspension and/or modification of certain covenants in the event that we receive investment grade credit ratings, include restrictions on (i) liens, (ii) indebtedness, guarantees and other obligations, (iii) restrictions in agreements on liens and distributions, (iv) mergers or consolidations, (v) asset sales, (vi) restricted payments, (vii) investments, (viii) affiliate transactions, (ix) change of business, (x) foreign operations or subsidiaries, (xi) changes to organizational documents, (xii) use of proceeds from loans and letters of credit, (xiii) hedging transactions, (xiv) additional subsidiaries, (xv) changes in fiscal year or fiscal quarter, (xvi) prepayments of certain debt and other obligations, (xvii) sales or discounts of receivables, and (xviii) dividend payment thresholds.

In addition, we are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Facility, as tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter, including, without limitation, (a) a maximum ratio of our consolidated net indebtedness to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, exploration expense, and other non-cash charges ("permitted net leverage ratio") of 3.00 to 1.00, (b) a current ratio, inclusive of the unused commitments under the Credit Facility then available to be borrowed, to not be less than 1.00 to 1.00, and (c) upon the achievement of investment grade credit ratings, a PV-9 coverage ratio of the net present value, discounted at 9% per annum, of the estimated future net revenues expected in the proved reserves to our total net indebtedness of not less than 1.50 to 1.00 ("PV-9 coverage ratio"). We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025 and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following table presents the outstanding balance, letters of credit outstanding, and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility as of the dates indicated (in millions):

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with amendments to the Credit Facility were $25 million and $29 million, respectively. Of the unamortized deferred financing costs, (i) $16 million and $21 million are presented within other noncurrent assets on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets ("balance sheets") as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and (ii) $9 million and $8 million are presented within prepaid expenses and other on the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

*Deferred Acquisition Consideration*

The Vencer Acquisition included deferred consideration of $550 million to be paid in cash on or before January 3, 2025. We discounted this obligation and recorded $532 million as deferred acquisition consideration upon closing and amortized the discount to interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we paid $75 million of this deferred consideration, and on January 3, 2025, we paid the remaining $475 million. These payments are recorded as a cash outflow within the acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows ("statements of cash flows") in the period of occurrence.

*Interest Expense*

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred interest expense of $120 million and $117 million, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 includes $9 million related to the amortization of deferred acquisition consideration associated with the Vencer Acquisition. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred interest expense of $341 million and $342 million, respectively. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes $27 million related to the amortization of deferred acquisition consideration associated with the Vencer Acquisition.

**NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

*Commitments.* We routinely enter into, extend, or amend operating agreements in the ordinary course of business. We have long-term transportation, sales, processing, and water delivery commitments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 we entered into a transportation services agreement in the DJ Basin to deliver fixed and determinable quantities of crude oil. Under the terms of this agreement, we are required to make periodic deficiency payments for any shortfalls in delivering the minimum volume commitment of 25,000 Bbls per day over a term ending in April 2030. The aggregate financial commitment fee over the remaining term was $68 million as of September 30, 2025. We have not, and do not, expect to incur any deficiency payments. There were no other significant commitments entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. For details of our existing commitments, refer to *Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies* in *Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data* included in our <u>[2024 Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1509589/000150958925000009/civi-20241231.htm)</u>.

*Litigation and Legal Items.* We are involved in various legal proceedings. We review the status of these proceedings on an ongoing basis and, from time to time, may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that management believes are in our best interests. We have provided the necessary estimated accruals in the accompanying balance sheets where deemed appropriate for litigation and legal related items that are ongoing and not yet concluded. Other than any ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business and except as described below, we are not currently a party to, nor is our property currently subject to, any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any such proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

On May 2, 2025, Jeremy Lin (the "Plaintiff"), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws against us, our former Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the "Defendants") in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the "Complaint"). The Complaint purported to bring a federal securities class action on behalf of a class of persons and entities other than the Defendants who acquired our securities between February 27, 2024 and February 24, 2025 and asserted violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Complaint alleged, among other things, that the Defendants made materially false and misleading statements related to our business, operations and prospects, including our anticipated production volumes and financial condition in 2025. The Plaintiff sought, among other things, certification of a class, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, interest, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expert fees. On October 27, 2025, the Plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the action without prejudice and, on October 28, 2025, the court entered an order closing the case.

**NOTE 7 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION** 

*Long Term Incentive Plans*

In June 2024, in connection with our stockholders' approval at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, we adopted the 2024 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2024 LTIP"), which provides for the issuance of restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock options, and various other forms of awards, and reserved 3,100,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2024 LTIP. The 2024 LTIP supersedes and replaces all of our previous long-term incentive plans (the "Prior Plans"), such that awards may not be granted under the Prior Plans subsequent to the adoption of the 2024 LTIP. Awards granted under the Prior Plans will remain subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Prior Plan. The Prior Plans and 2024 LTIP are collectively referred to herein as the "LTIP."

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

We record compensation expense associated with the issuance of awards under the LTIP on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair value of the awards as of the date of grant within general and administrative expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The following table outlines the compensation expense recorded by type of award (in millions):

As of September 30, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense related to the awards granted under the LTIP will be amortized through the relevant periods as follows (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Unrecognized Compensation Expense** | **Final Year of Recognition** |
| Restricted and deferred stock units | $34 | 2028 |
| Performance stock units | 15 | 2027 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total unrecognized stock-based compensation | $49 |  |

---

*Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units*

We grant time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") to our officers, executives, and employees and time-based deferred stock units ("DSUs") to our non-employee directors under the LTIP. Each RSU and DSU represents a right to receive one share of our common stock after the RSU or DSU vests and is settled. RSUs generally vest ratably over a one, two, or three-year service period on each anniversary following the grant date. RSUs are settled in shares of our common stock shortly after vesting. DSUs vest over a one-year period following the grant date. DSUs are settled in shares of our common stock upon the non-employee director's separation of service from our Board of Directors (our "Board"). The grant-date fair value of RSUs and DSUs is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant.

The following table presents the changes in non-vested RSUs and DSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **RSUs and DSUs** | **Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value** |
| Non-vested, beginning of year | 932902 | $65.69 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 810453 | 40.88 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vested | (393146) | 65.38 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeited | (167007) | 59.10 |
| Non-vested, end of period | 1183202 | $49.73 |

---

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the RSUs and DSUs granted under the LTIP during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $33 million.

*Performance Stock Units*

We grant market-based performance stock units ("PSUs") to our officers and certain executives under the LTIP. The number of shares of our common stock issued to settle PSUs ranges from zero to 225% of the number of PSUs granted and is determined based on performance achievement against certain market-based criteria over a three-year performance period. Performance achievement is determined based on our annualized absolute total stockholder return ("TSR"). Absolute TSR is determined based upon the change in our stock price over the performance period plus dividends paid. PSUs generally vest on December 31 of the year preceding the third anniversary of the date of grant and settle by March 15 of the following year upon the determination and approval of performance achievement by the Compensation Committee of our Board.

The grant-date fair value of our PSUs is estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Monte Carlo valuation model is based on random projections of stock price paths and repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Significant assumptions used in this valuation include our expected volatility as well as the volatilities for each of our peers and an interpolated risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury yields with maturities consistent with the performance period.

<sup>(1)</sup> The number of awards assumes that the associated performance condition is met at the target amount (multiplier of one). The final number of shares of our common stock issued may vary depending on the performance multiplier, which ranges from zero to 225%, depending on the level of satisfaction of the performance condition.

<sup>(2)</sup> Upon completion of the performance period for the PSUs granted in 2022, a performance achievement of 46% or 54%, as applicable, was applied to each of the grants, resulting in a number of shares less than the target amount of such PSUs being settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the PSUs granted under the LTIP during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $18 million.

**NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

We follow authoritative accounting guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Further, this guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable

Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable

We classify financial and non-financial assets and liabilities based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

*Derivatives*

We use Level 2 inputs to measure the fair value of crude oil and natural gas commodity price derivatives. The fair value of our commodity price derivatives is estimated using industry-standard models that contemplate various inputs including, but not limited to, the contractual price of the underlying position, current market prices, forward commodity price curves, volatility factors, time value of money, and the credit risk of both us and our counterparties. We validate our fair value estimate by corroborating the original source of inputs, monitoring changes in valuation methods and assumptions, and reviewing counterparty mark-to-market statements and other supporting documentation. Refer to *Note 9 - Derivatives* for more information regarding our derivative instruments.

*Long-Term Debt*

The portion of our long-term debt related to our Credit Facility, if any, approximates its fair value as it bears interest at a floating rate that approximates a current market rate. The portion of our long-term debt related to our Senior Notes is recorded at cost, net of any unamortized discount and deferred financing costs. The fair value of our Senior Notes is based on quoted market prices, and as such, is designated as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Our deferred acquisition consideration was recorded in connection with the Vencer Acquisition using an estimated fair value discount at the time of the transaction based on quoted market prices from our debt as well as other inputs classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the deferred acquisition consideration approximated fair value. Refer to *Note 5 - Debt* for additional information.

*Acquisitions and Impairments of Proved and Unproved Properties*

We measure acquired assets or businesses at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and review our proved and unproved crude oil and natural gas properties for impairment using inputs that are not observable in the market and are therefore designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. The most significant fair value determinations for non-financial assets and liabilities are related to crude oil and natural gas properties acquired. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded no impairments of proved or unproved properties. Refer to *Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures* for additional information and *Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* in *Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data* included in our <u>[2024 Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1509589/000150958925000009/civi-20241231.htm)</u> for information on our policies for determining fair value of proved and unproved properties and related impairment expense.

**NOTE 9 - DERIVATIVES**

We periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts to mitigate a portion of our exposure to potentially adverse market changes in commodity prices for our expected future crude oil and natural gas production and the associated impact on our cash flows. Our commodity derivative contracts consist of swaps, collars, and basis protection swaps. As of September 30, 2025, all of our derivative counterparties were members of our Credit Facility lender group, and all commodity derivative contracts are entered into for other-than-trading purposes. We do not designate our commodity derivative contracts as hedging instruments.

A typical swap arrangement guarantees a fixed price on contracted volumes. If the agreed upon published third-party index price ("index price") is lower than the fixed contract price at the time of settlement, we receive the difference. If the index price is higher than the fixed contact price at the time of settlement, we pay the difference.

A typical collar arrangement establishes a floor and ceiling price on contracted volumes through the use of a short call and a long put. When the index price is below the floor price at the time of settlement, we receive the difference. When the index price is above the ceiling price at the time of settlement, we pay the difference. When the index price is between the floor price and ceiling price, no payment or receipt occurs.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

A typical basis protection swap arrangement guarantees a fixed price differential from a specified delivery point on contracted volumes. If the price differential is greater than the fixed contract differential at the time of settlement, we receive the difference. If the price differential is less than the fixed contract differential at the time of settlement, we pay the difference.

**NOTE 10 - ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS**

We recognize an estimated liability for future costs associated with the abandonment of our crude oil and natural gas properties, including facilities requiring decommissioning. A liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation and a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset are recorded at the time a well is drilled or acquired, or a facility is constructed. The increase in carrying value is included in proved properties in the accompanying balance sheets. We deplete the amount added to proved properties and recognize expense in connection with the accretion of the discounted liability over the remaining estimated economic lives of the respective long-lived assets. Cash paid to settle asset retirement obligations is included in the cash flows from operating activities section of our accompanying statements of cash flows.

Our estimated asset retirement obligation liability is based on historical experience plugging and abandoning wells, estimated plugging and abandonment cost, estimated economic lives, and regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate estimated at the time the liability is incurred or revised.

**NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE**

Earnings per basic and diluted share are calculated under the treasury stock method. Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the basic weighted-average common shares outstanding for the respective period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the respective period, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities consist of unvested RSUs, DSUs, PSUs as well as outstanding in-the-money stock options and warrants. When we recognize a loss from continuing operations, all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and are consequently excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

As discussed in *Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation*, PSUs represent the right to receive a number of shares of the Company's common stock ranging from zero to 225% of PSUs granted based on the performance achievement over the applicable performance period. The number of potentially dilutive shares related to PSUs is based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable at the end of the respective reporting period, assuming that date was the end of the performance period applicable to such awards.

We have also issued warrants, which represent the right to purchase our common stock at a specified exercise price. The number of potentially dilutive shares related to the warrants is based on the number of shares, if any, that would be exercisable at the end of the respective reporting period, assuming that date was the end of such warrants' term. Warrants are only dilutive when the average price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price. The exercise price of our warrants was in excess of our stock price during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024; therefore, they were excluded from the earnings per share calculation.

The following table sets forth the calculations of basic and diluted net earnings per common share (in millions, except share and per share amounts):

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** |

---

There were 727,241 and 160,611 unvested awards that were anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were 675,480 and 144,300 unvested awards that were anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES**

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years related to cumulative temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets. The tax effect of the net change in the cumulative temporary differences during each period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities determines the periodic provision for deferred taxes.

We assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets each period by considering whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available evidence (both positive and negative), including future reversals of temporary differences, tax-planning strategies, projected future taxable income, and results of operations. As a result of merger activity in 2021, we recorded a valuation allowance of $25 million, which continued to be recorded as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, against certain acquired net operating losses and other tax attributes due to the limitation on realizability caused by the change of ownership provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. We will continue to monitor facts and circumstances in the reassessment of the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The net deferred tax liability as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $955 million and $801 million, respectively. Additionally, prepaid income tax of $1 million is included in prepaid expenses and other on the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2025, and income tax payable of $2 million is included in other liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2024.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income tax expense of $57 million and $93 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income tax expense of $156 million and $195 million, respectively. Income tax expense differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21% to income from operations before income taxes due to the effect of state income taxes, excess tax benefits and deficiencies on stock-based compensation awards, tax limitations on compensation of covered individuals, tax credits, and other permanent differences. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, income tax expense was additionally impacted by deferred tax benefits from state apportionment changes as a result of the Vencer Acquisition.

We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We do not believe that there are any new items or changes in facts or judgments that would impact our tax position taken thus far in 2025.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA made permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, including favorable tax treatment of 100% bonus depreciation and interest expense. Consistent with ASC Topic 740, *Income Taxes*, we have completed our evaluation of the impact of the OBBBA and recognized the effects in the quarterly income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2025. While the OBBBA did not materially impact our income tax expense or effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, its favorable provisions resulted in the deferral of certain income taxes previously reflected in income taxes payable on the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2025.

**NOTE 14 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY**

*Capital Return Program*

In August 2025, our Board reinstated a capital return strategy of allocating 50% of our annual Adjusted Free Cash Flow, after the base dividend, which remains $0.50 per share quarterly, to share repurchases. In conjunction with this decision, our Board increased the amount authorized for repurchases remaining under our existing stock repurchase program to $750 million. However, pursuant to terms of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), we are prohibited from (i) repurchasing shares of our common stock pending the consummation of the Merger and (ii) paying quarterly dividends in excess of our $0.50 base dividend.

*Stock Repurchases*

Prior to entry into the Merger Agreement, we were permitted, under our existing stock repurchase program, to repurchase our outstanding shares of common stock, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or through block trades, derivative transactions, or purchases made in accordance with Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The stock repurchase program does not have a termination date, does not require any specific number of shares to be acquired, and can be modified or discontinued by our Board at any time.

We record stock repurchases at cost, which includes transaction costs that are direct and incremental to the repurchase, as a reduction to stockholders' equity. As part of the transaction costs that are direct and incremental to the repurchase and, subject to netting against the fair value of stock issuances, we record a 1% excise tax with the corresponding liability recorded within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets. Any excess of cost over the par value is charged to additional paid-in-capital on a pro-rata basis, with any remaining cost charged to retained earnings.

On August 8, 2025, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "ASR Agreement") with a financial institution (the "Counterparty") to repurchase an aggregate of $250 million (the "Repurchase Price") of our common stock. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, we paid the Repurchase Price and received an initial delivery of 6,646,726 shares of our common stock from the Counterparty, representing 80% of the Repurchase Price based on the closing price of our common stock on August 7, 2025. Final settlement of the ASR Agreement occurred in September 2025, pursuant to which we received an additional 733,832 shares of our common stock from the Counterparty.

The table below summarizes stock repurchases pursuant to the stock repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

**NOTE 15 - SEGMENT REPORTING**

We aggregate and report our crude oil and natural gas exploration and production operations in one reportable upstream segment. The Permian Basin and the DJ Basin are operating segments of the Company that we aggregate into the upstream segment due to the similarity of these domestic operations. The upstream segment derives revenue from the sale of produced crude oil, natural gas, and NGL. We consider our midstream functions as ancillary to our upstream segment. Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Interim Chief Executive Officer.

The measure of profit or loss that the CODM uses to assess performance and allocate resources for the upstream segment is Adjusted EBITDAX. Adjusted EBITDAX is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, exploration expense, and other non-cash and non-recurring charges. The measure of segment assets is reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets and capital expenditures are reported in our statements of cash flows. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDAX to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the upstream segment or into other activities, such as for acquisitions, debt reduction, or to return capital to stockholders.

**Commodity Prices and Certain Other Market Conditions**

The crude oil and natural gas industry is cyclical and commodity prices are inherently volatile. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, crude oil prices experienced significant volatility as a result of (i) the conflicts in the Middle East, South America, and Russia (including current events involving Russia and Ukraine), (ii) trade and tariff uncertainties driving concerns over an increase in inflation, as well as disruption to global supply chains and consumer demand, (iii) continued concerns over economic growth, specifically in China and India as both are significant oil consumers, and (iv) OPEC+'s decision to increase crude oil output, creating additional global supply and further downward pressure on oil prices. These factors have led to declining average crude oil prices for the year.

U.S. inflation rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were relatively stable, yet remained slightly higher than historical averages. Inflationary pressures, such as trade tariffs, can lead to economic slowdown and/or lead to a recession. A slowdown or recession can cause a decrease in short-term or longer-term demand for commodities, resulting in oversupply and potential for lower commodity prices.

The foregoing destabilizing factors have led to significant fluctuations in global financial markets and uncertainty about world-wide crude oil and natural gas supply and demand, which in turn has increased the volatility of crude oil and natural gas prices. Prolonged lower crude oil prices and inflationary costs could adversely affect our drilling program and could result in a significant triggering event that may cause an impairment over our crude oil and natural gas assets. Consequently, we may incur substantial impairment charges in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We maintain operational flexibility to control the pace of our capital spending and we regularly monitor these external factors that may negatively influence it. As a result, we may revise our capital program during the year.

The below graph depicts monthly average NYMEX WTI crude oil and NYMEX HH natural gas price from January 2024 through September 2025.

____________________________

<sup>(1)</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The average NYMEX WTI crude oil price for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 was $64.93 and $63.74, respectively. The average NYMEX WTI crude oil price for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $66.70 and $77.54, respectively.

<sup>(2)</sup> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The average NYMEX natural gas HH price for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 was $3.07 and $3.44, respectively. The average NYMEX natural gas HH price for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $3.39 and $2.10, respectively.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

In light of uncertainty associated with crude oil and natural gas demand, future monetary policy relating to inflationary pressures, and governmental policies aimed at transitioning toward lower carbon energy, we cannot predict any future volatility in or levels of commodity prices or demand for crude oil and natural gas.

We receive a premium or discount to the benchmark WTI price for our crude oil production. The differential between the benchmark price and the price we receive can reflect adjustments for quality, location, and transportation. Our Permian Basin crude oil price generally includes a transportation differential for delivery to Cushing, Oklahoma. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, our Permian Basin crude oil differential was a premium to WTI. Our DJ Basin crude oil price generally includes a higher-grade quality differential. A transportation differential is also charged for delivery of crude oil to Cushing, Oklahoma or other contractually stated delivery points and may be presented net within crude oil, natural gas, and NGL sales or gross within gathering, transportation, and processing in our accompanying statement of operations based on when control is transferred within the associated contracts with customers. Basis differentials can be volatile and can change at various times given their high correlation with market dynamics, supply and demand, and overall production.

Our natural gas production is typically sold at a discount to the benchmark NYMEX Henry Hub price. Our Permian Basin natural gas production is sold based on prices established for the Waha Hub in West Texas, and our DJ Basin natural gas production is sold based on prices established for Colorado Interstate Gas ("CIG"). The pricing we receive for our natural gas in both basins is correlated with the capacity of in-field gathering systems, compression, and processing facilities, as well as transportation pipelines out of the basins, of which are majority owned and operated by third parties. During 2024 and 2025, the Waha Hub has experienced periods of negative pricing due to oversupply, seasonal maintenance, and limited pipeline capacity. During 2025, periods of negative pricing have occurred less often as pricing has been positively impacted by increased winter seasonal demand and improvements in available pipeline capacity. CIG pricing is often impacted by seasonality and typically receives a higher price during the winter months as local demand increases as temperatures decrease.

We periodically enter into natural gas basis protection swaps to mitigate a portion of our exposure to adverse market changes. Refer to *Note 9 - Derivatives* under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion on our derivative contracts.

Our NGL production is sold based on Mt. Belvieu market benchmarks. Our realized prices reflect adjustments, both premiums and discounts, driven by crude oil prices and various other factors including seasonal demand fluctuations, transportation, processing and logistics costs, regional location differentials, and broader market dynamics. In the DJ Basin, we take the majority of our NGL in kind from third party processors and sell them to directly to the markets via pipeline or trucks. In the Permian Basin, the majority of our NGL are marketed on our behalf by third-party processors.

Product revenues increased 10% to $1.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to (i) a 7% increase in total sales volumes primarily due to the timing of wells turned-in-line in both basins and (ii) a 3% increase in total product pricing on an equivalent basis per Boe, excluding the impact of derivatives.

Product revenues decreased 13% to $3.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $3.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a 7% decrease in total product pricing on an equivalent basis per Boe, excluding the impact of derivatives and (ii) a 6% decrease in total sales volumes primarily due to the timing of wells turned-in-line in both basins and normal decline in production from our existing wells.

*Lease operating expense.* Our lease operating expense increased 1% to $159 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $158 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and decreased 7% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The slight increase in total lease operating expense is comprised of offsetting increases and decreases in various categories. The most significant increase is attributable to salt water disposal costs, with the largest offsetting decrease due to lower fuel and power usage resulting from a continued shift from generators to less expensive line power in the Permian Basin. The decrease in lease operating expense per Boe is attributable to the increase in total sales volumes of 7%.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

Our lease operating expense increased 21% to $491 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $405 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and increased 29% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The Permian Basin accounted for approximately 60% of the increase on an equivalent basis per Boe primarily due to increases in operational activities related to (i) increased salt water disposal costs, including costs incurred to dispose of produced water arising from takeaway capacity constraints with certain of our vendors, (ii) compression, and (iii) fuel and power usage. The DJ Basin accounted for the remaining approximately 40% of the increase on an equivalent basis per Boe primarily due to (i) increases in our plugging and abandonment program and related environmental remediation costs incurred on old vertical well sites, many of which we never operated, (ii) compression, and (iii) declining production volumes relative to fixed costs.

*Gathering, transportation, and processing.* Our gathering, transportation, and processing ("GTP") expense increased 6% to $88 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $83 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and decreased 1% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The increase in GTP expense is attributable to the increase in total sales volumes of 7%.

Our GTP expense decreased 8% to $258 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $280 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and decreased 1% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The decrease in GTP expense is attributable to the decrease in total sales volumes of 6%. The decrease in GTP expense per Boe was primarily attributable to a shift in natural gas and NGL production toward areas within the DJ Basin that benefit from more favorable GTP contractual terms, offset by our entry into a new crude oil gathering contract in the DJ Basin. Pursuant to this contract, GTP costs are now incurred prior to the transfer of control and thereby recorded as GTP expense compared to the former contract where GTP costs were incurred subsequent to the transfer of control and thereby recorded net within crude oil, natural gas, and NGL sales.

*Severance and ad valorem taxes.* Severance taxes are imposed by the states in which we operate based on the value of the crude oil, natural gas, and NGL we produce. Ad valorem taxes are imposed by specific jurisdictions in which we operate based on the assessed value of our properties in that region. For our operations in Texas, the assessed value of our properties is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology. For our operations in Colorado and New Mexico, assessed value is determined by the value of the crude oil, natural gas, and NGL sold less various deductions.

Our severance and ad valorem taxes increased 8% to $81 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $75 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased 2% on an equivalent basis per Boe. Increases in both total and on an equivalent basis per Boe primarily resulted from the increase of 10% in total product revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Our severance and ad valorem taxes decreased 16% to $245 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $291 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and decreased 10% on an equivalent basis per Boe. Decreases in both total and on an equivalent basis per Boe resulted from the decrease of 13% in total product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we updated our Texas ad valorem tax estimates to reflect updated assessed values resulting in a further decrease in our severance and ad valorem taxes.

*Depreciation, depletion, and amortization.* Our depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense ("DD&A") decreased 1% to $497 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $501 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and decreased 7% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The decrease in total DD&A expense was primarily due to a decrease in the depletion rate driven by a greater increase in proved reserves relative to the increase in the depletable property base, partially offset by a 7% increase in sales volumes.

Our DD&A decreased 5% to $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $1.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and increased 2% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The decrease in total DD&A expense was primarily due to a 6% decrease in sales volumes between periods and was partially offset by an increase in the depletion rate driven by a greater increase in the depletable property base in proportion to proved reserves.

*General and administrative expense.* Our general and administrative expense decreased 2% to $52 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $53 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and decreased 10% on an equivalent basis per Boe. The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily due a reduction in professional services, stock compensation expense, and other corporate expenses and was partially offset by $3 million of non-recurring cash severance charges incurred in connection with our CEO separation during the three months ended September 30, 2025. General and administrative expense per Boe decreased due to a 7% increase in sales volumes.

Our general and administrative expense decreased 7% to $162 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $174 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and remained flat on an equivalent basis per Boe. The

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily due to (i) increases in the portion of labor billable to joint interest accounts and (ii) cost savings initiatives resulting in a reduction in professional services and contract labor. The decrease in general and administrative expense was partially offset by $7 million of non-recurring cash severance charges and $1 million of additional stock compensation expense incurred in connection with our announced reduction in force during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and our CEO separation during the three months ended September 30, 2025. General and administrative expense per Boe remained flat as expenditure decreased commensurate with the 6% decrease in sales volumes.

*Derivative gain (loss), net.* Our derivative gain for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $79 million, as compared to a gain of $104 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Our derivative gains for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 were due to cash settlement gains and fair market value adjustments resulting from lower market prices relative to our open positions.

Our derivative gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $235 million, as compared to a gain of $49 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our derivative gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due to cash settlement gains and fair market value adjustments resulting from lower market prices relative to our open positions. Our derivative gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to fair market value adjustments resulting from lower market prices relative to our open positions, partially offset by cash settlement losses.

Refer to *Note 9 - Derivatives* under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.

*Interest expense.* Our interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 was $120 million and $114 million, respectively. Average debt outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 was $5.5 billion and $5.4 billion, respectively.

Our interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $341 million and $342 million, respectively. Average debt outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $5.4 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. The components of interest expense for the periods presented are as follows (in millions):

*Income tax expense*. Our effective tax rate differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 21% to income before income taxes due to the effect of state income taxes, excess tax benefits and deficiencies on stock-based compensation awards, tax limitations on compensation of covered individuals, tax credits, and other permanent differences. Refer to *Note 12 - Income Taxes* under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion.

Our income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 was $57 million and $38 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.3% and 23.5% on pre-tax income, respectively.

Our income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $156 million and $195 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.2% and 22.1% on pre-tax income, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, income tax expense was additionally impacted by deferred tax benefits from state apportionment changes as a result of the Vencer Acquisition.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash flows from operating activities, available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, potential proceeds from equity and/or debt capital markets transactions, and potential proceeds from sales of assets. We may use our available liquidity for operating activities, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, the return of capital to stockholders, and for general corporate purposes.

Our primary source of cash flows from operating activities is the sale of crude oil, natural gas, and NGL. As such, our cash flows are subject to significant volatility due to changes in commodity prices, as well as variations in our sales volumes. The prices for these commodities are driven by a number of factors beyond our control, including global and regional product supply and demand, the impact of inflation and monetary policy, weather, product distribution, transportation, processing, and refining capacity, regulatory constraints, and other supply chain dynamics, among other factors.

As of September 30, 2025, our liquidity was $2.2 billion, consisting of cash on hand of $56 million and $2.1 billion of available borrowing capacity on our Credit Facility. Borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility is primarily based on the value assigned to the proved reserves attributable to our crude oil and natural gas interests. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the available borrowing capacity on our Credit Facility was $2.3 billion. Our Credit Facility is set to mature in August 2028. In October 2025, we completed our scheduled borrowing base redetermination which reaffirmed our borrowing base and aggregate elected commitments under the Credit Agreement. The next scheduled borrowing base redetermination date is set to occur in May 2026.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and various affirmative and negative covenants as well as certain financial covenants, including (a) a permitted net leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00, (b) a current ratio, inclusive of the unused commitments under the Credit Facility then available to be borrowed, of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, and (c) upon the achievement of investment grade credit ratings, a PV-9 coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to *Note 5 - Debt* in Part I, Item 1 for additional information.

Our material short-term cash requirements include: operating activities, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividends, and payments of contractual obligations. Our material long-term cash requirements from various contractual and other obligations include: debt obligations and related interest payments, firm transportation and minimum volume agreements, taxes, asset retirement obligations, and leases. Refer to Part I, Item 1 for additional information. Our future capital requirements, both near-term and long-term, will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, commodity prices, market conditions, our available liquidity and financing, acquisitions and divestitures of crude oil and natural gas properties, the availability of drilling rigs and completion crews, the cost of completion services, success of drilling programs, land and industry partner issues, weather delays, the acquisition of leases with drilling commitments, and other factors. We regularly consider which resources, including debt and equity financing, are available to meet our future financial obligations, planned capital expenditures, and liquidity requirements.

Funding for these requirements may be provided by any combination of the sources of liquidity outlined above. We expect our 2025 capital program to be funded by cash flows from operations. Although we cannot provide any assurance, based on our projected cash flows from operations, our cash on hand, and available borrowing capacity on our Credit Facility, we believe that we will have sufficient capital available to fund these requirements through the 12-month period following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and based on current expectations, the long-term.

*Sources of Cash and Cash Equivalents*

Our sources of cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.1 billion year over year, primarily driven by proceeds from issuance of our 2033 Senior Notes of $743 million, increased draws on our Credit Facility of $450 million, and increased proceeds of $25 million from property transactions, including the divestiture of certain non-core DJ Basin assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $130 million. Our net cash provided by operating activities are primarily impacted by commodity prices, sales volumes, net settlements from our commodity derivative positions, operating costs, and changes in our working capital. See *"Results of Operations"* above for more information on the factors driving these changes.

*Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents*

Our uses of cash and cash equivalents increased by $27 million year over year, primarily driven by increased payments on our Credit Facility of $600 million, an increase in common stock repurchased and retired of $52 million, and an increase in acquisitions of crude oil and natural gas properties of $30 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in dividends paid of $305 million, decreased capital expenditures for drilling and completion activities and other fixed assets of $200 million, and a decrease in acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired of $144 million.

As a result of the changes in our capital return program over the past year, dividends declared and paid during the year decreased by $2.97 per share, or $305 million, net payments on our Credit Facility increased by $150 million, and common stock repurchased and retired increased by $52 million. Refer to *Note 14 – Stockholders' Equity* under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and *Note 14 – Stockholders' Equity* in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in our <u>[2024 Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1509589/000150958925000009/civi-20241231.htm)</u> for additional information.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

Capital expenditures for drilling and completion activities and other fixed assets decreased by $200 million, largely attributable to a 5% reduction in our 2025 capital investment program when compared to 2024 as well as efforts to level-load our capital to more evenly distribute investments throughout the year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we drilled, completed, and turned to sales 78, 94, and 115 net operated wells, respectively, in the Permian Basin, and 86, 89, and 89 net operated wells, respectively, in the DJ Basin. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we drilled, completed, and turned to sales 93, 90, and 104 net operated wells, respectively, in the Permian Basin, and 66, 79, and 76 net operated wells, respectively, in the DJ Basin.

Cash proceeds from draws on our Credit Facility increased by $450 million year over year, primarily driven by the payment of the remaining Vencer deferred acquisition consideration of $475 million, as well as acquisition of certain crude oil and natural gas properties accounted for as a business combination in the Permian Basin for cash consideration of $286 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by the cash consideration paid at closing for the Vencer Acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in payments to our Credit Facility is driven by the use of the net proceeds from the 2033 Senior Notes of $743 million to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility.

*Material Commitments*

There have been no significant changes from our <u>[2024 Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1509589/000150958925000009/civi-20241231.htm)</u> in our obligations and commitments, other than what is disclosed within *Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies* under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

*Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDAX*

Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, exploration expense, and other non-cash and non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDAX excludes certain items that we believe affect the comparability of operating results and can exclude items that are generally non-recurring in nature. We present Adjusted EBITDAX because we believe it provides useful additional information to investors and analysts, as a performance measure, for analysis of our ability to internally generate funds for exploration, development, acquisitions, and to service debt. We are also subject to financial covenants under our Credit Facility based on Adjusted EBITDAX ratios. In addition, Adjusted EBITDAX is widely used by professional research analysts and others in the valuation, comparison, and investment recommendations of companies in the crude oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, net cash provided by operating activities, or other profitability or liquidity measures prepared under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDAX excludes some, but not all items that affect net income and may vary among companies, the Adjusted EBITDAX amounts presented may not be comparable to similar metrics of other companies.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDAX for the periods presented (in millions):

*Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow*

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities and less exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas properties, changes in working capital related to capital expenditures, and purchases of carbon credits and renewable energy credits. We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides additional information that may be useful to investors and analysts in evaluating our ability to generate cash from our existing crude oil and natural gas assets to fund future exploration

and development activities and to return cash to stockholders. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure of liquidity and should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flows from operations because it excludes certain required cash expenditures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net cash provided by operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the periods presented (in millions):

*Reconciliation of average sales price, after derivatives*

Average sales price, after derivatives is a non-GAAP financial measure that incorporates the net effect of derivative cash receipts from or payments on commodity derivatives that are presented in our accompanying statements of cash flows, netted into the average sales price, before derivatives, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of average sales price, after derivatives is a useful means to reflect the actual cash performance of our commodity derivatives for the respective periods and is useful to management and our stockholders in determining the effectiveness of our price risk management program.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of average sales price, before derivatives to the non-GAAP financial measure of average sales prices, after derivatives for the periods presented:

<sup>(1)</sup> Derivatives economically hedge the price we receive for crude oil, natural gas, and NGL. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the derivative cash settlement gain for crude oil and natural gas was $39 million and $26 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the derivative cash settlement gain for crude oil and natural gas was $36 million and $33 million respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the derivative cash settlement gain for crude oil and natural gas was $76 million and $62 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the derivative cash settlement loss for crude oil was $42 million, and the derivative cash settlement gain for natural gas was $36 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, there were no significant changes in the application of critical accounting policies.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

**Crude Oil and Natural Gas Price Risk**

Our financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of crude oil and natural gas. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and market uncertainties due to a variety of factors that are beyond our control. Factors influencing crude oil and natural gas prices include the level of global demand for crude oil and natural gas, the global supply of crude oil and natural gas, the establishment of and compliance with production quotas by crude oil exporting countries, weather conditions which impact the supply and demand for crude oil and natural gas, the price and availability of alternative fuels, local and global politics, and overall economic conditions. It is impossible to predict future crude oil and natural gas prices with any degree of certainty. Sustained weakness in crude oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and may also reduce the amount of crude oil and natural gas reserves that we can produce economically. Any reduction in our crude oil and natural gas reserves, including reductions due to price fluctuations, can have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain capital for our exploration and development activities. Similarly, any improvements in crude oil and natural gas prices can have a favorable impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources.

*Commodity Price Derivative Contracts* 

Our primary commodity risk management objective is to protect our balance sheet. We periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts to mitigate a portion of our exposure to potentially adverse market changes in commodity prices for our expected future crude oil and natural gas production and the associated impact on cash flows. Our commodity derivative contracts consist of swaps, collars, and basis protection swaps. Upon settlement of the contract(s), if the relevant market commodity price exceeds our contracted swap price, or the collar's ceiling strike price, we are required to pay our counterparty the difference for the volume of production associated with the contract. Generally, this payment is made up to 15 business days prior to the receipt of cash payments from our customers. This could have an adverse impact on our cash flows for the period between derivative settlements and payments for revenue earned. While we may reduce the potential negative impact of lower commodity prices, we may also be prevented from realizing the benefits of favorable price changes in the physical market. Refer to *Note 9 - Derivatives* under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for summary derivative activity tables.

*Interest Rates*

As of September 30, 2025 and the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we had $350 million and $180 million, respectively, outstanding under our Credit Facility. Borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate that is tied to the ABR or SOFR, in each case, plus the applicable margin, at our option. Any increases in these interest rates can have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. As of September 30, 2025, and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants under the Credit Facility.

*Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk*

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative activities. As of September 30, 2025 and October 31, 2025, our derivative contracts have been executed with 16 counterparties, all of which are members of the Credit Facility lender group and have investment grade credit ratings. However, if our counterparties fail to perform their obligations under the contracts, we could suffer financial loss.

We are also subject to credit risk due to the concentration of our crude oil and natural gas receivables with certain significant customers. The inability or failure of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us or their insolvency or

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

liquidation may adversely affect our financial results. We review the credit rating, payment history, and financial resources of our customers, but we do not require our customers to post collateral.

*Marketability of Our Production*

The marketability of our production depends in part upon the availability, proximity, and capacity of third-party refineries, access to regional pipeline infrastructure, natural gas gathering systems, and processing facilities. We deliver crude oil and natural gas produced primarily through pipelines and trucking services that we do not own. The lack of availability or capacity on these systems and facilities could reduce the price offered for our production or result in the shut-in of producing wells or the delay or discontinuance of development plans for properties.

A portion of our production may also be interrupted, or shut in, from time to time for numerous other reasons, including as a result of accidents, weather, field labor issues or strikes, or we might voluntarily curtail production in response to market conditions. If a substantial amount of our production is interrupted at the same time, it could adversely affect our cash flow.

 **Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures* 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers and internal audit function, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. To assist management, we have established an internal audit function to verify and monitor our internal controls and procedures. Our internal control system is supported by written policies and procedures, contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and is audited by the internal audit function. Appropriate actions are taken by management to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

*Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting* 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

Information regarding our legal proceedings can be found in *Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies* under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Disclosure of certain environmental matters is required when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and the proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe could exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K, we have elected to apply a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. Applying this threshold, and other than as previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 6, 2025, we are not aware of any such proceedings, or material developments to previously disclosed proceedings, required to be disclosed for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

Our business faces many risks. Any of the risk factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or our other SEC filings could have a material impact on our business, financial position, or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operation. For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A in our <u>[2024 Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1509589/000150958925000009/civi-20241231.htm)</u>, together with other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports and materials we may subsequently file with the SEC. We have identified these risk factors as important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.

***Because the Exchange Ratio is fixed and the market price of the Company's common stock and SM Energy's common stock has and may continue to fluctuate, the Company's stockholders cannot be certain of the value of the consideration they will receive in the Merger, if consummated.***

If the Merger is consummated, each share of the Company's common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger will automatically be converted into the right to receive 1.45 shares of SM Energy common stock. Because the Exchange Ratio is fixed, the value of the consideration that the Company's stockholders would receive in connection with the Merger, if consummated, will depend on the market price of SM Energy common stock at the time the Merger is consummated, which is expected to impact the market price of the Company's common stock until such consummation. The value of SM Energy's common stock has fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the Merger Agreement and may continue to fluctuate. Accordingly, the Company's stockholders will not be able to determine the market value of the consideration they would receive in connection with the Merger until the consummation thereof. Share price changes may result from a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and SM Energy, including, among others, general market and economic conditions, commodity prices, changes in the Company's and SM's respective businesses, operations and prospects, and market assessments of the likelihood that the requisite closing conditions, including approval of both the stockholders of the Company and SM Energy, will be satisfied and the Merger will be consummated.

***The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger.***

The Merger Agreement contains restrictions on our ability to solicit or execute any agreement with respect to an alternative Company Acquisition Proposal from third parties, to provide non-public information to third parties, and to engage in discussions with third parties regarding alternative Company Acquisition Proposals, subject to customary exceptions. The Merger Agreement also contains provisions that may require, in certain circumstances, a termination fee or reimbursement of expenses to be payable by Civitas thereunder. Such restrictions may discourage a third party from submitting an alternative Company Acquisition Proposal that might result in greater value to our stockholders than the Merger.

***The inability to consummate the Merger on the expected time frame or at all may adversely affect the price of our common stock and our business, financial condition, or results of operations.***

The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among others, (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares common stock entitled to vote thereon, (ii) approval of (a) the issuance of SM Energy common stock in connection with the Merger by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of SM Energy common stock present in person or represented by proxy at a special meeting of the stockholders of SM Energy and entitled to vote thereon and (b) the amendment of SM Energy's certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of SM Energy common stock to 400,000,000 shares by the votes cast for such amendment exceeding the votes cast against such amendment by the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

holders of outstanding shares of SM Energy common stock, (iii) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or any other antitrust law relating to the Merger, (iv) no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other judgment, order or decree issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition being in effect, and no law having been enacted, entered, promulgated, enforced or deemed applicable by any governmental entity that, in any such case, prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Merger, (v) approval for listing on New York Stock Exchange of the shares of SM Energy common stock to be issued in the First Company Merger, (vi) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by SM Energy, which will include a joint proxy statement of SM Energy and Civitas and a prospectus of SM Energy, (vii) the accuracy of representations and warranties and compliance with covenants of each party, (viii) absence of a material adverse effect on SM Energy or Civitas, and (ix) receipt by Civitas of an opinion from Civitas' counsel that the Merger will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in each case subject to the standards set forth in the Merger Agreement. Any such conditions not being satisfied or waived in a timely manner, or at all, may result in the Merger not being consummated, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock, and our business, results of operations and financial condition. No assurance can be given that the conditions to the Merger's consummation will be satisfied or waived, or that the Merger will be completed in a timely manner or at all.

***The pendency of the Merger could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

The pendency of the Merger could cause disruptions in our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In particular, the attention of the Company's management and employees may be directed towards the Merger, including obtaining required approvals and other transaction-related considerations and may be diverted from the day-to-day business operations of the Company and matters related to the Merger may require commitments of time and resources that could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that might have been beneficial us. Any of these matters could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, even if the Merger is consummated.

***Even if we and SM Energy complete the Merger, the combined company may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Merger.***

The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the combined company's ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining Civitas' and SM Energy's businesses, including operational and other synergies. The anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all, may take longer to realize than expected or could have other adverse effects that we and SM Energy do not currently foresee. The integration process may, for each of Civitas and SM Energy, result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. There could be potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses associated with the Merger that were not discovered in the course of performing due diligence. The foregoing may negatively affect the combined company's ongoing business, operations and financial results following the completion of the Merger.

***Our stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Merger and will exercise less influence over the policies of the combined company than they now have on the policies of Civitas.***

Immediately after the Merger is completed, it is expected that our current stockholders will own approximately 52% of SM Energy's outstanding common stock and current SM Energy stockholders will own approximately 48% of SM Energy's outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. As a result, our current stockholders will have less influence on the management and policies of the combined company than they now have on the management and policies of Civitas.

***We will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Merger.***

We have incurred and are expected to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the Merger, integrating our business with SM Energy's business, and realizing the expected benefits therefrom. A substantial majority of non-recurring expenses will consist of transaction costs and include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of expected benefits related to the integration of our business with SM Energy's, will allow us to offset these transaction costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all.

***Litigation relating to the Merger could result in an injunction preventing the completion of the Merger and/or substantial costs to us.***

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger or other business combination agreements. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i3931dee789c6428cbba96732eb85ac85_10)</u> 

monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition. Such lawsuits could also seek, among other things, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including a request to enjoin us and SM Energy from consummating the Merger.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.**

## Exhibit 10.5

**Exhibit 10.5**

**CONFIDENTIAL SEVERANCE AND RELEASE AGREEMENT**

This Confidential Severance and Release Agreement ("Agreement") is made by and between <br>(i) [Employee Name] ("Employee") and (ii) Civitas Resources, Inc. (the "Company"). Employee and the Company are referred to each as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

<u>RECITALS</u>

WHEREAS, Employee's employment with the Company has ended effective [____________] (the "Separation Date");

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to resolve fully and finally potential disputes regarding any and all claims or causes of action that Employee has or may have against the Company, including any claims or causes of action that Employee may have arising out of Employee's employment with the Company or the end of such employment; and

WHEREAS, in order to accomplish this end, the Parties are willing to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

<u>TERMS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.<u>Effective Date</u>. This Agreement shall become effective on the day Employee signs and delivers to the Company this Agreement (the "Effective Date"), subject to Section 6(h). Regardless of whether Employee signs this Agreement, to the extent Employee participated in the Company's group health insurance, coverage will cease on the last day of the month in which the Separation Date occurs. Beginning at that time, if Employee participated in the Company's group health insurance, Employee will be eligible to continue Employee's group health insurance benefits for Employee and Employee's eligible dependents, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's benefit plans, federal law, including the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), and, as applicable, state insurance laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.<u>Consideration</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Employee shall receive from the Company Employee's Accrued Obligations (as defined in the Plan (as defined below)), which consist of (i) payment of all earned but unpaid base salary through the Separation Date prorated for any partial period of employment; (ii) payment, in accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plan of the Company or its affiliates or to the extent required by law, of any benefits to which Employee has a vested entitlement as of the Separation Date; (iii) payment of any accrued unused vacation as of the Separation Date; and (iv) payment of any approved but not yet reimbursed business expenses incurred in accordance with applicable policies of the Company and its affiliates as of the Separation Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.After the ADEA Release Effective Date (as defined below), and on the express condition that Employee has not revoked the ADEA Release and Employee satisfies the conditions of Sections 5(e) and 8 of the Plan, the Company will provide Employee with the payments, benefits, and other consideration set forth in Appendix A to this Agreement ("Appendix A") in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement (including, without limitation, Employee's compliance with respect to Sections 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of this Agreement), Appendix A, and the

------

Eighth Amended and Restated Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan, as in effect as of the Separation Date (the "Plan"), which is incorporated herein by reference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Reporting of and withholding on any payment or benefit set forth in Appendix A for tax purposes shall be at the discretion of the Company in conformance with applicable tax laws. If a claim is made against the Company for any additional tax or withholding in connection with or arising out of any payment or benefit pursuant to Appendix A, Employee shall pay any such claim within thirty (30) days of being notified by the Company and agrees to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless against such claims, including, but not limited to, any taxes, attorneys' fees, penalties, and/or interest, which are or become due from the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>General Release</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Employee, for Employee and for Employee's affiliates, successors, heirs, subrogees, assigns, principals, agents, partners, employees, associates, attorneys, and representatives, voluntarily, knowingly, and intentionally releases and discharges the Company and each of its predecessors, successors, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and assigns and each of their respective officers, directors, principals, shareholders, board members, committee members, employees, agents, and attorneys (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, actions, liabilities, demands, rights, damages, costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees (including, but not limited to, any claim of entitlement for attorneys' fees under any contract, statute, or rule of law allowing a prevailing party or plaintiff to recover attorneys' fees) of every kind and description from the beginning of time through the Effective Date (the "Released Claims").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.The Released Claims include, but are not limited to, those which arise out of, relate to, or are based upon: (i) Employee's employment with the Company or the termination thereof; (ii) statements, acts, or omissions by the Released Parties whether in their individual or representative capacities; (iii) express or implied agreements between the Parties and claims under any severance plan (except as provided herein); (iv) any stock or stock option grant, agreement, or plan; (v) all federal, state, and municipal statutes, ordinances, and regulations, including, but not limited to, claims of discrimination based on race, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, religion, disability, veteran status, whistleblower status, public policy, or any other characteristic of Employee under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"), the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Equal Pay Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Family and Medical Leave Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or any other federal, state, or municipal law prohibiting discrimination or termination for any reason; (vi) state and federal common law; (vii) the failure of this Agreement, or of any other employment, severance, profit sharing, bonus, equity incentive or other compensatory plan to which Employee and the Company are or were parties, to comply with, or to be operated in compliance with, Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, or any similar provision of state or local income tax law; and (viii) any claim which was or could have been raised by Employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Unknown Facts</u>. This Agreement includes claims of every nature and kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected. Employee hereby acknowledges that Employee may hereafter discover facts different from, or in addition to, those which Employee now knows or believes to be true with respect to this Agreement, and Employee agrees that this Agreement and the releases contained

------

herein shall be and remain effective in all respects, notwithstanding such different or additional facts or the discovery thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>No Admission of Liability</u>. The Parties agree that nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Party hereto with regard to this Agreement, shall be construed as an admission by any Party of liability or of any fact that might give rise to liability for any purpose whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.<u>Warranties</u>. Employee warrants and represents as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Employee has read this Agreement, and Employee agrees to the conditions and obligations set forth in it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Employee voluntarily executes this Agreement (i) after having been advised to consult with legal counsel, (ii) after having had opportunity to consult with legal counsel, and (iii) without being pressured or influenced by any statement or representation or omission of any person acting on behalf of the Company including, without limitation, the officers, directors, board members, committee members, employees, agents, and attorneys for the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.Employee has no knowledge of the existence of any lawsuit, charge, or proceeding against the Company or any of its officers, directors, board members, committee members, employees, successors, affiliates, or agents arising out of or otherwise connected with any of the matters herein released. In the event that any such lawsuit, charge, or proceeding has been filed, Employee immediately will take all actions necessary to withdraw or terminate that lawsuit, charge, or proceeding, unless the requirement for such withdrawal or termination is prohibited by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.Employee understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits Employee's ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission ("Government Agencies"). Employee further understands that this Agreement does not limit Employee's ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee waives any right to any monetary recovery or other relief should any party, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local governmental entity or administrative agency, pursue any claims on Employee's behalf arising out of, relating to, or in any way connected with the Released Claims, provided, however, this Agreement does not limit Employee's right to receive a reward for information provided to any Government Agencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.Employee has not previously disclosed any information, the disclosure of which would be a violation of the confidentiality provisions set forth below if such disclosure were to be made after the execution of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.Employee has full and complete legal capacity to enter into this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g.Employee has had at least twenty-one (21) days in which to consider the terms of this Agreement. In the event that Employee executes this Agreement in less time, it is with the full understanding that Employee had the full twenty-one (21) days if Employee so desired and that Employee was not pressured by the Company or any of its representatives or agents to take less time to consider the Agreement. In such event, Employee expressly intends such execution to be a waiver of any right Employee had to review the Agreement for a full twenty-one (21) days.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.Employee has been informed and understands that (i) to the extent that this Agreement waives or releases any claims Employee might have under the ADEA (the "ADEA Release"), Employee may rescind Employee's waiver and release within seven (7) calendar days of Employee's execution of this Agreement and (ii) any such rescission must be in writing and hand delivered to [________], [________], at Civitas Resources, Inc., 555 17<sup>th</sup> Street, Suite 3700, Denver, CO 80202, within the seven-day period. Provided that Employee does not revoke Employee's execution of this Agreement for purposes of the ADEA Release within such seven (7) day revocation period, the ADEA Release will become effective on the eighth (8th) calendar day after the date on which Employee signs this Agreement (the "ADEA Release Effective Date").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.Employee admits, acknowledges, and agrees that (i) Employee is not otherwise entitled to payments, benefits, and other consideration set forth in Appendix A and (ii) these payments, benefits, and other consideration are good and sufficient consideration for this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j.Employee admits, acknowledges, and agrees that Employee has been fully and finally paid or provided all wages, compensation, vacation, bonuses, stocks, stock options, or other benefits from the Company which are or could be due to Employee under the terms of Employee's employment with the Company, or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.<u>Confidential Information</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Except as herein provided, including Section 6(d), all discussions regarding this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the amount of consideration, offers, counteroffers, or other terms or conditions of the negotiations or the agreement reached shall be kept confidential by Employee from all persons and entities other than the Parties to this Agreement. Employee may disclose the amount received in consideration of the Agreement only if necessary (i) for the limited purpose of making disclosures required by law to agents of the local, state, or federal governments; (ii) for the purpose of enforcing any term of this Agreement; or (iii) in response to compulsory process, and only then after giving the Company ten (10) days advance notice of the compulsory process and affording the Company the opportunity to obtain any necessary or appropriate protective orders. Otherwise, in response to inquiries about Employee's employment and this matter, Employee shall state, "My employment with the Company has ended" and nothing more.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Employee shall not use, nor disclose to any third party, any of the Company's business, personnel, or financial information that Employee learned during Employee's employment with the Company. Employee hereby expressly acknowledges that any breach of this Section 7 shall result in a claim for injunctive relief and/or damages against Employee by the Company, and possibly by others.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) provides: "An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that—(A) is made—(i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal." Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b). Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected

------

violation of law. The parties also have the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.<u>Section 409A</u>. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder ("Section 409A") or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed accordingly. It is the intention of the Parties that payments or benefits payable under this Agreement not be subject to the additional tax or interest imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Such payments or benefits are intended to be exempt from Section 409A by reason of the exemptions for separation pay arrangements found in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) and/or for "short-term deferrals" found in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (or both) and the terms of this Agreement shall be applied and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of such regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A and in no event shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. Employee shall, at the request of the Company, take any reasonable action (or refrain from taking any action), required to comply with any correction procedure promulgated pursuant to Section 409A. Each payment to be made under this Agreement shall be a separate payment, and a separately identifiable and determinable payment, to the fullest extent permitted under Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.<u>Non-Disparagement</u>. Except as herein provided, including Sections 6(d) and 7(c), Employee agrees not to make to any person any statement that disparages the Company or reflects negatively on the Company, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the Company's financial condition, employment practices, or officers, directors, board members, committee members, employees, successors, affiliates, or agents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Employee from making truthful statements about the terms or conditions of Employee's employment, or from exercising Employee's rights under the National Labor Relations Act, government whistleblower programs, or whistleblowing statutes or regulations. Pursuant to C.R.S. section 24-34-407, disclosure of the underlying facts of any alleged discriminatory or unfair employment practice within the parameters specified in section 24-34-407(1)(b) (including disclosure (i) of the existence and terms of a settlement agreement, to Employee's immediate family members, religious advisor, medical or mental health provider, mental or behavioral health therapeutic support group, legal counsel, financial advisor, or tax preparer, (ii) to any local, state, or federal government agency for any reason, including disclosing the existence and terms of a settlement agreement, without first notifying the Company, (iii) in response to legal process, such as a subpoena to testify at a deposition or in a court, including disclosing the existence and terms of a settlement agreement, without first notifying the Company, and (iv) for all other purposes as required by law) is not prohibited by anything in this Agreement, and such disclosure does not constitute disparagement. Pursuant to section 24-34-407(1)(d), if the Company disparages Employee to a third party, the Company may not seek to enforce the nondisparagement or nondisclosure provision of this Agreement or seek damages against Employee for violating these provisions, but all other remaining terms remain enforceable.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
