Good morning. On behalf of Civitas Resources, I would like to welcome you to our virtual special meeting of stockholders. I am Howard Willard, Chair of the Board of Directors of the company. As the company's bylaws provide, I will act as chairperson of this meeting. Also on the webcast is Travis Counts, our Chief Administrative Officer and Corporate Secretary. Travis has been properly appointed to act as secretary for the meeting. It is now shortly after 10:00 A.M. on January 27th, and this meeting is officially called to order. The Board of Directors has appointed Christine Amrine, a representative of American Election Services, to act as Inspector of Elections for this meeting and any adjournment or postponement. Ms. Amrine has previously signed an oath to act as Inspector of Elections, and this oath will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. I will now pass it over to Travis to cover a few procedural items before beginning the formal portion of the meeting. Thank you, Howard. This meeting will be conducted in accordance with the agenda and rules of conduct and procedures displayed on your virtual meeting screen. If you'd like to ask a question, you may do so by submitting your question through the virtual meeting portal in accordance with the rules of conduct and procedures. Our first order of business is to establish for the record that this meeting has been properly convened and that a quorum is present. I present a signed copy of the printed notice of the special meeting, dated December 22nd, 2025, stating the special meeting's time, place, and purpose. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc Has submitted to our management an affidavit of mailing, which certifies that on December 22nd, 2025, they commenced mailing of the notice and proxy materials to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 17th, 2025, the record date for this special meeting. Additionally, I have in my possession a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and the ballot proxies received from those stockholders as provided to us by our transfer agent. A copy of the notice, affidavit of mailing, and stockholder list will be filed with the minutes of this meeting. I've also been advised by the Inspector of Elections that the preliminary vote report indicates that a total of 70,729,904 shares, representing approximately 82.9% of the company's outstanding shares as of the record date, are represented in person or by proxy at this special meeting. Because at least a majority of the company's shares outstanding on the record date are represented here today, a quorum is present. As such, the meeting is properly convened and the business of the meeting may proceed. As set forth in the agenda, there are two items of business for stockholder consideration at this special meeting, each of which is described in detail in the proxy statement. One, the approval of the Civitas merger proposal, and two, the approval of the Civitas compensation proposal. The two proposals were made by the board of directors, and the board recommends that you vote in favor of each proposal. We will now pause to collect any questions that have been submitted. Seeing there are no questions, we will proceed with the meeting. Before the polls are officially open, I would like to note that any stockholder who hasn't yet voted or wishes to change their vote may do so by clicking on the voting button in the virtual meeting portal and following the instructions there. Stockholders who have sent in proxies or voted via telephone or internet and do not want to change their vote, do not need to take any further action. Thank you, Travis. It is now about 10:04 A.M. Mountain Time on January 27, 2026, and I declare the polls open. Please cast your votes if you have not already done so. Now that everyone has had the opportunity to vote, I declare the polls for all matters voted upon at this meeting officially closed. Thank you, Howard. I've been advised by the Inspector of Elections that the preliminary vote report shows that each of the Civitas merger proposal and the Civitas compensation proposal have been approved. A written report furnished by the Inspector of Elections of the final vote count with respect to the matters voted on today will be included in the minutes of this meeting. Additionally, we will report the final vote results in a Form 8-K within four business days of this meeting. This concludes the formal business to be conducted at this meeting. There being no further matters to come before the meeting, this special meeting of stockholders of Civitas Resources, Inc. is now adjourned. Thank you for attending this special meeting and for your continued support of Civitas. That concludes our meeting today. You may now disconnect.
