Subject: ESTE Acquisition and Integration Update

PR Team-

As communicated previously, we are committed to providing frequent updates regarding the pending acquisition of Earthstone Energy, Inc. (Earthstone). Everyone has been working hard to make this as smooth and successful an integration as possible, so thanks to all for the hard work to date! What we are building is a truly incredible Permian business and we could not be more excited about the future.

Preliminary Proxy: We filed the preliminary proxy statement on September 6, 2023. This filing was required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide a detailed description of the transaction to Permian Resources and Earthstone shareholders, who will vote on the transaction at their respective shareholder meetings in advance of closing. We are pleased to report that since the filing, the SEC has communicated that it has not reviewed and will not review the proxy statement.

Transaction Closing: As a result of the SEC not reviewing the proxy statement, we and Earthstone plan on holding shareholder meetings to approve the transaction on October 30, 2023, and pending receipt of shareholder approval and antitrust clearance would close the transaction on November 1, 2023. This is very positive development for the company that will result in us closing several weeks sooner than we had originally expected.

Org Design: During October, members of PR’s management team will be meeting with Earthstone employees and evaluating the pro forma organization. Our target is to extend offers to Earthstone employees by Thanksgiving.

Integration Teams: We have also selected co-leads from each company to sit on Platform and Integration Planning teams. As you can imagine, this integration will take many employees’ times, data, ideas, etc. to be successful. Specific details on integration teams can be found in the graphic below

In closing, we wanted to re-iterate that it is critically important for us to remain focused on the day-to-day operations of our business and to continue operating as separate, independent companies until closing. There is nothing we do as important as executing on our base business day-in and day-out!

If you have any questions, please feel free to submit them to HR@permianres.com.

We appreciate everyone’s hard work through this integration!
