On March 18, 2021, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware confirmed the prepackaged plan of reorganization (the “Prepackaged Plan”) of HighPoint Resources Corporation (“HighPoint”) and entered a confirmation order (the “Confirmation Order). The Prepackaged Plan implements the merger and restructuring transactions pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2020, by and among Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. (“Bonanza Creek”), HighPoint and Boron Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”), and the Transaction Support Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2020, by and among HighPoint, HighPoint Operating Corporation, Fifth Pocket Production, LLC, certain consenting holders of HighPoint Operating Corporation’s 7.0% Senior Notes due October 15, 2022 and 8.75% Senior Notes due June 15, 2025, and certain consenting HighPoint stockholders (the “TSA”).

As previously disclosed, the Prepackaged Plan includes the following key features. Capitalized terms used in the summary below but not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given to such terms in the Prepackaged Plan.

•

Cancellation of Notes Claims in Exchange for Bonanza Creek Common Stock and New Bonanza Creek Senior Notes. Holders of Allowed Notes Claims will receive their pro rata share of (i) 9,314,214 shares of Bonanza Creek common stock, which will constitute approximately 30.4% of the fully diluted aggregate outstanding shares of Bonanza Creek common stock (subject to dilution as contemplated by the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement and the Prepackaged Plan), and (ii) $100 million in principal of newly issued 7.5% senior notes due 2026 of Bonanza Creek.

•

Cancellation of Existing HPR Interests in Exchange for Bonanza Creek Common Stock. Holders of Existing HPR Interests will receive their pro rata share of 490,221 shares of Bonanza Creek common stock, which will constitute approximately 1.6% of the fully diluted aggregate outstanding shares of Bonanza Creek common stock (subject to dilution as contemplated by the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement and the Prepackaged Plan).

•

Exit RBL Facility. The capital structure of Bonanza Creek following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Prepackaged Plan will include a senior secured credit facility with aggregate available commitments (drawn and undrawn, collectively) of not less than $250 million in principal amount.

The consummation of the Prepackaged Plan will be subject to the conditions set forth in the Prepackaged Plan, the Merger Agreement, the TSA and related transaction documents.
