Governance

The Crestone Peak Merger Agreement provides at the Merger Sub 1 Merger Effective Time that the board of the combined company will consist of nine members, one of whom will be designated by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, a Canadian Crown corporation (“CPP Investments”) and shall be independent and acceptable to BCEI. Therefore, following the BCEI Merger and the Crestone Peak Merger, the combined company’s board of directors will include four legacy BCEI directors, four XOG designees, and one CPP Investments designee.

Conditions to the Merger

The closing of the Crestone Peak Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, (i) the receipt of the required approvals from each of BCEI’s stockholders and Crestone Peak’s stockholder, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Crestone Peak Merger, (iv) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 pursuant to which the shares of BCEI Common Stock issuable in the BCEI Merger are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (v) the authorization for listing of the BCEI Common Stock issuable in the Crestone Peak Merger on the NYSE, and (vi) the closing of the BCEI Merger shall have occurred or shall occur substantially concurrently with the closing of the Crestone Peak Merger. The obligation of each party to consummate the Mergers is also conditioned upon the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions), the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement, in the case of BCEI, delivery of (A) certain financial statements (the “Crestone Peak Financial Statements”) and (B) an assignment by the Crestone Peak Stockholder of all outstanding loans by the Crestone Peak Stockholder to Crestone Peak or other cancellation of such indebtedness, and in the case of Crestone Peak, the absence of a waiver of any conditions to close the BCEI Merger by either XOG or BCEI in a manner materially adverse to Crestone Peak.

Termination Rights

The Crestone Peak Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both BCEI and Crestone Peak, including, among others:

(b) by either BCEI or Crestone Peak, if the Mergers shall not have been consummated by 5:00 p.m. Denver, Colorado time on December 6, 2021 (the “Outside Date”);

(c) by BCEI or Crestone Peak, as applicable, if the other party breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements in the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement and such breach cannot be or is not cured in accordance with the terms of the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement and such breach would cause applicable closing conditions not to be satisfied;

(d) by either BCEI or Crestone, if the requisite BCEI stockholder approval shall not have been obtained upon a vote at a duly held BCEI stockholder meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof;

(e) by Crestone Peak, prior to the receipt of the requisite BCEI stockholder approval, if the BCEI Board changes its recommendation with respect to the Crestone Peak Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement;

(f) by Crestone Peak if any wavier of any of the conditions to the closing of the BCEI Merger has been provided by BCEI or XOG in a manner materially adverse to Crestone Peak; or

(g) by BCEI, if Crestone Peak has not delivered the Crestone Peak Financial Statements by July 2, 2021, provided that BCEI delivers notice of termination prior to filing the Joint Proxy Statement, or if certain of the Crestone Peak Financial Statements are materially different in an adverse manner from certain previously delivered financial statements of Crestone Peak, provided that BCEI delivers notice of termination no later than five business days after the event giving rise to BCEI’s termination rights thereunder.

The Crestone Peak Merger Agreement shall be terminated automatically if the BCEI Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason.

If the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement is terminated by Crestone Peak in accordance with clause (e) above, then BCEI shall be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $37,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”); provided, that the Termination Fee payable by BCEI will be reduced to $15,000,000 if a termination fee is also paid by BCEI or XOG under the BCEI Merger Agreement. If the BCEI Merger Agreement terminates and either XOG or BCEI is obligated to pay the other a termination fee, then BCEI shall pay Crestone Peak the Termination Fee. If (i) (A) BCEI or Crestone Peak terminates the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement pursuant to clause (d) above as a result of a failure to obtain BCEI stockholder approval and on or prior to the date of such termination, a Parent Competing Proposal (as defined in the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement) shall have been announced or disclosed and not withdrawn without qualification at least seven business days prior to the BCEI special meeting of stockholders or (B) BCEI terminates the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement pursuant to clause (b) above at a time when Crestone Peak would be permitted to terminate the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above or Crestone Peak terminates the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above and on or prior to the date of such termination, a Parent Competing Proposal shall have been announced or disclosed and not withdrawn without qualification at least seven business days prior to the date of such termination and (ii) within twelve months of such termination, BCEI enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Parent Competing Proposal (or publicly approves or recommends to the BCEI stockholders a Parent Competing Proposal) or consummates a Parent Competing Proposal, BCEI shall pay Crestone Peak the Termination Fee. Under reciprocal specified circumstances in the case of clause (c), Crestone Peak will be required to pay the Termination Fee to BCEI.

BCEI, XOG and Crestone Peak each have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement, in each case generally subject to customary materiality qualifiers. Among other things, each party has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course, from the date of the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement until the earlier of the Merger Sub 1 Merger Effective Time and the termination of the Crestone Peak Merger Agreement, and not to take certain actions prior to the closing of the Crestone Peak Merger without the prior written consent of the other party, (ii) not to solicit alternative business combination transactions and (iii) not to engage in discussions or negotiations regarding any alternative business combination transactions.
