As of immediately following the Block Trade, 52,652,193 of the shares of Common Stock reflected in this Schedule 13D were held of record by Felix Investments and 6,506,586 of such shares were held of record by Felix STACK.

Stockholders Agreement

On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Devon Merger Agreement, the Issuer, Felix Investments and EnCap Fund X (collectively with Felix Investments and certain other affiliates, as applicable, EnCap) entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the Stockholders Agreement). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, EnCap had the right to nominate a director (the Investor Director) for appointment and election to the Board. EnCaps right to nominate a director was subject to, among other things, EnCap continuing to collectively beneficially hold at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the nominee being reasonably acceptable to the Governance committee of the Board and not being prohibited by law from serving in such capacity or causing the Issuer not to be in compliance with applicable law. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the Closing Date, EnCap agrees to 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 shares of Common Stock issued to EnCap pursuant to the Devon Merger Agreement other than certain permitted transfers. The remaining one-third of the shares of Common Stock issued to EnCap will not be subject to transfer restrictions imposed by the Stockholders Agreement. The Stockholders Agreement terminates upon the earliest to occur of (a) the last to occur of (i) EnCap beneficially owning less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) the expiration of the Stockholders Agreement lock-up period, (b) Felix Investments and its permitted transferees ceasing to own any shares of Common Stock or (c) the mutual written consent of the parties.
