As previously announced, on September 6, 2022, Brigham Minerals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Brigham”) and Brigham Minerals Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Sitio Royalties Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Sitio”), Sitio Royalties Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary of Sitio (“Opco LP”), Snapper Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sitio (“New Sitio”), Snapper Merger Sub IV, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of New Sitio, Snapper Merger Sub V, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of New Sitio, and Snapper Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Opco LP, pursuant to which Sitio will acquire the Company in an all-stock transaction (the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, Sitio and Brigham will become direct wholly owned subsidiaries of New Sitio, which will operate under the name “Sitio Royalties Corp.” Upon completion of the Transaction, former Sitio stockholders and former Brigham stockholders will own stock in New Sitio, which is expected to be listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Sitio Merger and the Company Merger shall become effective concurrently (such time~~ as ~~the Sitio Merger and the Company Merger become effective~~amended, ~~the~~except ~~“First~~as ~~Effective Time”), and the Opco Merger~~ shall ~~become~~be ~~effective~~expressly ~~immediately~~set ~~following~~forth ~~the~~by ~~First~~specific ~~Effective~~reference ~~Time~~in (such ~~time as the Opco Merger becomes effective, the “Second Effective Time”)~~filing.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) at the First Effective Time, (A) each share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 1.133 fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Parent (the “New Parent Class A Common Stock”), (B) each share of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 1.133 fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Parent (the “New Parent Class C Common Stock”), (C) each share of Sitio’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Sitio Class A Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be converted into one share of New Parent Class A Common Stock and (D) each share of Sitio’s Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Sitio Class C Common Stock” and, together with Sitio Class A Common Stock, the “Sitio Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time, will be converted into one share of New Parent Class C Common Stock, in each case, excluding shares owned by the Company, Sitio or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or Sitio and, to the extent applicable, shares owned by stockholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and, (ii) at the Second Effective Time, each Opco LLC Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 1.133 common units representing limited partnership interests in Opco LP (the “Opco LP Units”).

As a result of the Mergers and as of the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”), Sitio stockholders immediately prior to the First Effective Time will own approximately 54% of the outstanding shares of New Parent, and Brigham stockholders immediately prior to the First Effective Time will own approximately 46% of the outstanding shares of New Parent. Following the Closing, New Parent will operate under the name “Sitio Royalties Corp.”

The completion of the Mergers is subject to certain customary mutual conditions, including (i) the receipt of the required approvals from the Company’s and Sitio’s respective stockholders, (ii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, (iii) the absence of any governmental order or law that makes consummation of the Mergers illegal or otherwise prohibited, (iv) New Parent’s registration statement on Form S-4 having been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and (v) the shares of New Parent Class A Common Stock issuable in

connection with the Merger having been authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance. The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is also conditioned upon the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions), the absence of a material adverse effect on the other party, the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and the receipt by such party of a favorable tax opinion.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sitio, as the sole stockholder of New Parent, agreed to elect as directors of New Parent, to be effective as of the First Effective Time, (i) five persons designated by Sitio, who, prior to the First Effective Time, are members of Sitio’s board of directors, to the board of directors of New Parent (the “New Parent Board”) and (ii) four persons designated by the Company, who, prior to the First Effective Time, are members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board” and such persons, the “Company Designated Directors”), to the New Parent Board. The New Parent Board will consist of nine directors. New Parent agreed, following the Closing, to take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that each Company Designated Director is included in the slate of nominees recommended by the New Parent Board to the stockholders of New Parent for election as directors at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders of New Parent.

The Merger Agreement also contains covenants of the Company, including, among other things, covenants (i) not to solicit proposals relating to alternative transactions, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, not to enter into discussions concerning or provide information in connection with alternative transactions, (iii) subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that its stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, (iv) not to fail to make, withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Sitio, the Company Board’s recommendation that the stockholders of the Company approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Company Board Recommendation”), and (v) not to recommend the approval or adoption of, or publicly propose to recommend, approve or adopt, any competing proposal.

Prior to, but not after, receipt of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company’s stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Approval”), the Company Board may, in response to an unsolicited superior proposal for an alternative transaction or an intervening event, effect a change to the Company Board Recommendation (a “Company Change of Recommendation”) in certain limited circumstances, subject to complying with certain notice and other specified conditions, including giving Sitio the opportunity to propose revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement during the applicable match right period as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of the Company and Sitio, including, among other rights, the right to terminate (i) by mutual written consent of the Company and Sitio, (ii) by either the Company or Sitio, if (A) the Closing has not occurred on or before 5:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time on June 6, 2023, (B) the other party breaches any of their respective representations or warranties or if such party fails to perform their respective covenants, such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant, as applicable, is not cured or cannot be cured in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement or (C) the Company Stockholder Approval has not been obtained upon a vote at a duly held special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to vote upon the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) by Sitio, in the event of a Company Change of Recommendation, upon which the Company will be required to pay Sitio a termination fee of $65,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”), and (iv) by the Company, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal, upon which the Company will be required to pay Sitio the Company Termination Fee.

In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated by either the Company or Sitio due to a breach of the other party’s representations, warranties or covenants or inaccuracy of such party’s representations such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and, in each case, such breach is not cured in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (i) an alternative proposal has been made prior to such termination and (ii) the breaching party enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any alternative transaction within six months after the date of such termination involving more than 50% of the breaching party’s equity or assets, then the breaching party will be required to pay the non-breaching party a termination fee. Under these circumstances, if Sitio is the breaching party, then Sitio will be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $75,000,000. If the Company is the breaching party, then the Company will be required to pay Sitio the Company Termination Fee.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and Sitio relating to their respective businesses, financial statements and public filings, in each case generally subject to customary materiality qualifiers. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides for customary pre-closing covenants of the Company and Sitio, including, among others, covenants relating to the conduct of their respective businesses during the interim period between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing, the obligation of each party to refrain from taking certain actions without the other party’s consent and the obligation of the Company to call a meeting of its stockholders for purposes of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Sitio and New Parent agreed to enter into, at or prior to the Closing, a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement, with certain holders pursuant to which New Parent will agree to file within 15 business days after the Closing a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act to permit the public resale of certain securities of New Parent held by such holders and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, subject to certain customary thresholds and conditions. Sitio and New Parent will agree to pay certain expenses of the parties incurred in connection with the exercise of their rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, and indemnify them for certain securities law matters in connection with any registration statement filed pursuant thereto.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Sitio or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the Company or Sitio included in their public reports filed with the SEC. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the respective parties to such agreements, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the respective parties to such agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or of any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

The Support Agreements provide, among other things, the obligation of the Supporting Stockholders, collectively representing approximately 83.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sitio Common Stock, to approve the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement via written consent on the terms set forth therein, and, for certain of the Supporting Stockholders, to vote in favor of the Company Designated Directors to be nominated to the New Parent Board at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders of New Parent. Pursuant to the Support Agreements with Kimmeridge and Oaktree, Kimmeridge and Oaktree, which collectively represent approximately 58.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sitio Common Stock, agreed not to transfer or otherwise dispose of any Sitio Class A Common Stock, Sitio Class C Common Stock or Opco LP Units beneficially owned by them, other than certain permitted transfers, during the term of the Support Agreements.

The foregoing description of the Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Support Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included herein, regarding the proposed Merger between ~~the~~Brigham ~~Company~~ and Sitio, the likelihood that the conditions to the consummation of the Merger will be satisfied on a timely basis or at all, ~~the Company~~Brigham’s and Sitio’s ability to consummate the Merger at any time or at all, the benefits of the Merger and the post-combination company’s future financial performance following the Merger, as well as the post-combination company’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward looking statements. When used herein, including any oral statements made in connection herewith, the words “may,” “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions and the negative of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on Brigham’s and Sitio’s management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those projected. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Brigham and Sitio disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. Brigham and Sitio caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Brigham and Sitio. These risks include, but are not limited to, the post-combination company’s ability to successfully integrate Brigham’s and Sitio’s businesses and technologies; the risk that the expected benefits and synergies of the Merger may not be fully achieved in a timely manner, or at all; the risk that Brigham or Sitio will not, or that following the Merger, New Sitio will not, be able to retain and hire key personnel; the risk associated with Brigham’s and Sitio’s ability to obtain the approvals of their respective stockholders required to consummate the Merger and the timing of the closing of the Merger, including the risk that the conditions to the transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all or the failure of the transaction to close for any other reason or to close on the anticipated terms, including the anticipated tax treatment; the risk that any regulatory approval, consent or authorization that may be required for the Merger is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the transaction, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction; Sitio’s ability to finance New Sitio (including the repayment of certain of Brigham’s indebtedness) on acceptable terms or at all; uncertainty as to the long-term value of New Sitio’s common stock; and the diversion of Brigham’s and Sitio’s management’s time on transaction-related matters. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described herein and in any oral statements made in connection therewith occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could different materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact Brigham’s and Sitio’s expectations and projections can be found in Brigham’s periodic filings with the SEC, including the Brigham’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and Sitio’s periodic filings with the SEC, including Sitio’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Sitio’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
