Pursuant to the Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OpCo entered into in connection with the Closing (as defined below) (the “OpCo LLCA”), each member of OpCo (other than Permian and its subsidiaries) has the right to cause OpCo to redeem all or a portion of such member’s OpCo Units in exchange for, at OpCo’s option, an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock” and, each of the Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, “Common Stock”), of Permian or a cash amount in lieu of shares of Class A Common Stock, as determined in accordance with the OpCo LLCA. Upon redemption of an Opco Unit, a share of Class C Common Stock shall be surrendered by the holder and cancelled by Permian. The Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and OpCo Units are collectively referred to herein as “Securities.” Pursuant to a Voting Trustee Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2023 (the “Voting Trustee Agreement”), with respect to all of the reported shares of Class C Common Stock directly held by Bold (including any shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon redemption thereof), Bold (a) irrevocably transferred and assigned all voting rights

This Item 3 is not applicable.

Item 4. Ownership:

The information required by Items 4(a)-(c) is set forth in Rows 5-11 of the cover pages hereto for each Reporting Person and is incorporated herein by reference for each Reporting Person.

Reference to “beneficial ownership” of securities for purposes of this Schedule 13G shall be understood to refer to beneficial ownership as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

All of the securities for which beneficial ownership is reported hereunder were acquired on November 1, 2023 in connection with certain mergers (the “Mergers”) effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 21, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Permian, Smits Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation, Smits Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Permian Resources Operating (“OpCo”), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. On November 1, 2023, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, were consummated (the “Closing”). In connection with the Mergers, each issued and outstanding share of Earthstone Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Earthstone”) Class A common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.446 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A common stock of Permian, $0.0001 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), (b) each issued and outstanding share of Earthstone Class B common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.446 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class C common stock of Permian, $0.0001 par value per share (“Class C Common Stock” and, each of the Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, “Common Stock”), and (c) each common unit, representing limited liability company interests, of Earthstone Energy Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company was converted into the right to receive 1.446 common units representing limited liability company interests in OpCo (“OpCo Units”).

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Permian Resources Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 21, 2023.

In connection with the Closing, on November 1, 2023, Bold and the EnCap Funds entered into that certain Voting Trustee Agreement (the “Voting Trustee Agreement”) with the Voting Trustee. Pursuant to the Voting Trustee Agreement, with respect to all of the reported shares of Common Stock held directly by Bold and each of the EnCap Funds, Bold and the EnCap Funds (a) transferred and assigned all voting rights and responsibilities associated with such shares to the Voting Trustee and (b) granted the Voting Trustee irrevocable proxies with respect to any matters submitted to a vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock under Permian’s organizational documents. In addition, the Voting Trustee is obligated to vote or cause to be voted the shares of Common Stock proportionally with respect to the votes cast by all other holders of Common Stock entitled to vote and actually voting on such matter. Therefore, the Voting Trustee, pursuant to the Voting Trustee Agreement, may be deemed to have the sole right to direct the voting of all of the reported shares of Common Stock directly held by Bold and the EnCap Funds.

In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 21, 2023 and effective upon the Closing (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and between Permian, Bold, the EnCap Funds and certain other stockholders party thereto, Bold and the EnCap Funds agreed to a lock-up with respect to their respective shares of Common Stock, OpCo Units (including the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the OpCo Units in accordance with the OpCo LLCA) and any securities convertible into, exercisable for, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), pursuant to which Bold and the EnCap Funds have agreed to not transfer such Lock-Up Securities until the six-month anniversary of the date of the Closing, subject to certain exceptions, including the ability of certain stockholders party to the registration Rights Agreement (including Bold and the EnCap Funds) to participate, on a pro rata basis, in certain secondary offerings of Common Stock.
