On July 22, 2016, Silver Run Acquisition Corporation (“Silver Run”) issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing that, subject to certain conditions, including approval of the Silver Run stockholders, Silver Run has agreed to acquire a controlling interest in Centennial Resource Production, LLC, an independent oil and natural gas company located in the core of the Southern Delaware Basin. On July 6, 2016, New Centennial, LLC (“New Centennial”) an affiliate of Riverstone Holdings LLC (“Riverstone”) entered into a definitive agreement to purchase an approximate 89% interest in Centennial from funds controlled by and affiliates of NGP Energy Capital Management, L.L.C. Under the terms of this definitive agreement, New Centennial may assign its rights and obligations to purchase the interest in Centennial to Silver Run. On July 21, 2016 New Centennial agreed to assign, and Silver Run agreed to assume, its right to purchase the interest in Centennial, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with the assignment, on July 21, 2016, an affiliate of Riverstone agreed to purchase up to an estimated $810 million of shares of Silver Run Class A Common Stock at $10.00 per share, which commitment may be assigned to other parties. In addition, certain funds managed by Capital World Investors and certain funds managed by Fidelity Management and Research Company agreed to purchase $200 million of shares of Silver Run Class A Common Stock, in the aggregate, at $10.00 per share. The proceeds of both stock sales will be used to fund a portion of the required cash consideration for the acquisition.

On July 22, 2016, Silver Run will provide information regarding the proposed transaction in an investor presentation in connection with the business combination. A copy of the investor presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
