Registration Rights Agreement
On March 6, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) with Seller, pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer has agreed to (i) prepare a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) (the Shelf Registration Statement), covering the Issued Shares and any securities issued or issuable with respect to the Issued Shares by way of distribution or in connection with any reorganization or other recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or otherwise (collectively, the Registrable Securities), (ii) file the Shelf Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) within 10 business days of the execution of the Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective as soon as practicable following such filing. Registrable Securities cease to be Registrable Securities when (a) such share has been disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement, (b) such share has been disposed of under Rule 144 or any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as a result of which the transferee thereof does not receive restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (c) such shares are freely tradeable by the holder thereof without volume or other limitations or requirements under Rule 144 and such holder and its affiliates collectively hold less than 5% of outstanding shares of Common Stock
In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement permits Seller to request to sell any or all of its respective Registrable Securities under a registration statement pursuant to an underwritten offering, subject to certain exceptions, including, among other things, that the gross proceeds from the sale are reasonably expected to equal or exceed $100 million in the aggregate and that the Issuer has no obligation to facilitate more than two such offerings during any 12-month period and no more than one such offering during any 90-day period. The Registration Rights Agreement also (i) provides Seller with certain customary piggyback registration rights to register the Registrable Securities held by it in other registered underwritten offerings of Common Stock conducted by the Issuer for its own account or for the account of other stockholders and (ii) sets forth the priority and respective rights of Seller with regard to the inclusion of Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering.
Stockholders Agreement
On March 6, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Issuer entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the Stockholders Agreement) with Seller and EnCap Fund X. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Seller has the right to nominate directors (the Investor Directors) for appointment to the Board (the Director Nominations). If Seller and each of its affiliates, Skye Callantine and Michael Horton, beneficially own,
8
in the aggregate, (i) at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then Seller shall be entitled to nominate two Investor Directors, and (ii) less than 20% but more than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then Seller shall be entitled to nominate one Investor Director. The Director Nominations are subject to, among other things, the individual nominees being reasonably acceptable to the Nominating, Governance, Environmental & Public Policy Committee of the Board (the Governance Committee) and not be prohibited by law. Until the earlier of the date on which Seller is no longer entitled to designate any Investor Directors to the Board or Seller irrevocably waives its right to designate any Investor Directors, Seller has agreed to cause all voting securities of the Issuer held by Seller or any of its controlled affiliates to be voted in favor of all director nominees nominated by the Governance Committee, against any other nominees and against the removal of any director (other than an Investor Director) unless the Governance Committee recommends the removal of such director.
On March 6, 2020, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition and pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Messrs. D. Martin Phillips and Douglas E. Swanson, Jr. were appointed to the Board as the two initial Investor Directors nominated by Seller pursuant to its Director Nomination right. Until expiration of the Director Nomination right in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, each committee of the Board shall include at least one Investor Director, subject to any limitations imposed by law or stock exchange rules (including with respect to director independence requirements).
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, for a period of 180 days from the closing of the Acquisition, Seller has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer or dispose of (or take other analogous actions in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement) any economic, voting or other rights in or to two-thirds of the Issued Shares other than to certain permitted transferees. The remaining one-third of the Issued Shares are not subject to such transfer restrictions.
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, EnCap Fund X has agreed to standstill restrictions until March 6, 2023 in accordance with which, among other things, EnCap Fund X and its Controlled Affiliates (other than Public Portfolio Companies) (as each term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement) will not, unless Seller and its affiliates collectively beneficially own less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or such action has been specifically invited in writing by the Board, (i) make any proposal or offer to the Board or any of the Issuers stockholders regarding, or make any public announcement, proposal or offer (including the solicitation of proxies) with respect to, or otherwise solicit, seek or offer to effect (a) any business combination, merger, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, or (b) any restructuring, recapitalization, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Issuer or its subsidiaries unless, in each case, such discussions are privately communicated and do not trigger public disclosure obligations; (ii) form, join or in any way participate in a group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any Common Stock (unless such group is solely between or among EnCap Fund X, its affiliates and any other permitted transferees); (iii) enter, agree to enter, propose or offer to enter into any merger, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, change in control transaction or other similar extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries (unless such transaction is affirmatively publicly recommended by the Board); (iv) otherwise act with any person, including by providing financing for another party, to seek to control or influence the management, the Board or the policies of the Issuer; (v) acquire, agree or propose or offer to acquire (including through any hedging or other similar transaction) any shares of Common Stock or securities that are convertible or exchangeable into (or exercisable for) shares of Common Stock unless immediately following any such acquisition EnCap Fund X and its Controlled Affiliates collectively beneficially own no more than the greater of (a) 151,529,637 shares of Common Stock (subject to certain adjustments) and (b) 27% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (vi) call, or seek to call, a meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer or initiate any stockholder proposal for action by stockholders of the Issuer; (vii) publicly disclose any intention, plan or arrangement prohibited by, or inconsistent with, the foregoing clauses (i) (vi); (viii) except as expressly permitted by the Stockholders Agreement or required under the order of a court of competent jurisdiction, transfer any Common Stock into a voting trust or similar contract or subject any Common Stock to any voting agreement, pooling arrangement or similar arrangement, or grant any proxy with respect to any Common Stock, in each case other than (a) to the Issuer or a person specified by the Issuer in a proxy card provided to shareholders of the Issuer by or on behalf of the Issuer or (b) solely among EnCap Fund X and its affiliates and any other permitted transferee with respect any shares of Common Stock transferred to any such permitted transferee not in violation of the terms of the Stockholders Agreement; or (ix) knowingly facilitate, encourage or assist any third party to do any of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i) (viii).
9
