Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2020 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) with respect to the Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and the Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Parsley Common Stock”), of Parsley Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Except as specifically amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D. This Amendment constitutes an exit filing of Pioneer Natural Resources Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Reporting Person”), in respect of the Parsley Common Stock previously reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

Item 2.

Identity and Background

Item 2(c) is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following to the end thereof:

Schedule A to the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety in the form attached hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following to the end thereof:

On January 12, 2021, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, were consummated. Pursuant to the Mergers, (i) Merger Sub Inc. merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the Surviving Corporation, (ii) simultaneously with the First Company Merger, Opco Merger Sub LLC merged with and into Opco LLC, with Opco LLC continuing as the surviving entity, and (iii) immediately following the First Company Merger and the Opco Merger, the Surviving Corporation merged with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC continuing as the surviving entity. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, each share of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into and became exchangeable for 0.1252 shares of Pioneer Common Stock. Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, each Opco LLC Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and all rights in respect thereof, were at the Effective Time converted into the right to receive 0.1252 shares of Pioneer Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock was automatically cancelled for no additional consideration as of the Effective Time, subject to any statutory rights to appraisal pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware with respect to, and only with respect to, such shares of Class B Common Stock. At the Effective Time, the irrevocable proxies granted to the Reporting Person, the executive officers of the Reporting Person and any person designated in writing by the Reporting Person under the Voting Agreements were automatically revoked in accordance with the terms of the Voting Agreements.

As a result of the foregoing and as of the Effective Time, to the extent the terms of the Voting Agreements may have resulted in the Reporting Person being deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to be the beneficial owner of shares of Parsley Common Stock, the Reporting Person is no longer deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to beneficially own any shares of Parsley Common Stock.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) and (b). The response of the Reporting Person to rows 7 through 13 on the cover page of this Amendment are incorporated by reference herein.

To the extent the terms of the Voting Agreements may have resulted in the Reporting Person being deemed, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to be the beneficial owner of shares of Parsley Common Stock, the Reporting Person, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers and the termination of the proxies granted under the Voting Agreements, is longer deemed for purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to beneficially own such shares of Parsley Common Stock.

In addition, as a result of the consummation of the Mergers, none of persons listed in Schedule A hereto beneficially own any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock.

(c). Except as set forth in Schedule B hereto and except for the foregoing transactions and as set forth in this Amendment with reference to the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the Reporting Person’s knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule A hereto, has effected any transaction in shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d). Except with reference to the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, and except as set forth in this Amendment and the Original Schedule 13D, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the persons set forth on Schedule A hereto has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of the Issuer previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D.

(e). As of January 12, 2021 and as a result of the consummation of the Mergers and the termination of the proxies granted under the Voting Agreements, to the extent the terms of the Voting Agreements may have resulted in the Reporting Person being deemed, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to be the beneficial owner of shares of Parsley Common Stock, the Reporting Person no longer beneficially owns any shares of Parsley Common Stock.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following to the end thereof:

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment is incorporated by reference herein.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
