The underlying inputs, specifically commodity prices as it relates to the fair value of the oil and gas properties, tend to trend in their respective movements with the company’s stock price, particularly the price of oil, such that changes in the fair value align directionally with changes in the stock merger consideration for the Extraction and Crestone Peak acquisitions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Between July 7, 2021 (the date used for the closing price of the company’s common stock in our July 14, 2021 filing), and August 25, 2021 (the date used for the closing price of the company’s common stock in our August 27, 2021 filing), the price of our common stock decreased by $8.91 per share, from $46.35 per share to $37.44 per share, representing a decrease of 19%. While the decrease in the price of our common stock caused a reduction in merger consideration for the Extraction and Crestone Peak acquisitions, the decrease in forward strip prices significantly influenced the allocation of value to oil and gas properties which was partially offset by changes in liabilities assumed between the periods presented. Using these facts, we determined that the fair value of the net assets acquired fell within a reasonable valuation range based on the reduced consideration for these acquisitions. </P> </DIV></Center> <p style="margin-top:1em; margin-bottom:0em; page-break-before:always"> <HR SIZE="3" style="COLOR:#999999" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER"> <Center><DIV STYLE="width:8.5in" align="left"> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Securities and Exchange Commission </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">September 17, 2021 </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"> Page 4 </P> <p STYLE="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt ; font-size:8pt"> </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Management of the company also assessed the ranges of fair values of oil and gas properties for each of the Extraction and Crestone Peak acquisitions as compared to the goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase that could result based on changes in our stock price.
