This Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 9”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-2(a), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware (“the Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 410 17th Street, Suite 1400, Denver, Colorado 80202. This Amendment No. 9 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 19, 2017 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on November 29, 2017, Amendment No. 2, filed with the SEC on May 17, 2018, Amendment No. 3, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2018, Amendment No. 4, filed with the SEC on August 20, 2018, Amendment No. 5, filed with the SEC on September 6, 2018, Amendment No. 6, filed with the SEC on November 21, 2019, Amendment No. 7, filed with the SEC on December 14, 2020, and Amendment No. 8, filed with the SEC on December 18, 2020 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”).

Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.

(b) Each of the Master Fund, Mangrove Partners and Mr. August has shared voting and dispositive power over the 989,677 Shares owned directly by the Master Fund.

(c)Except for the following transactions effected by the Master Fund in the Shares, all of which were effected in the open market through a broker, there have been no transactions in the Shares by the Master Fund since those reported in Amendment No. 8, filed on December 18, 2020.
