Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 15, 2020, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2020 the (“Agreement”) by and between WaterBridge Texas Midstream LLC (“WaterBridge”) and Centennial Resource Production, LLC (“CRP”), a subsidiary of Centennial Resource Development, Inc. (the “Company”), was terminated. The Agreement provided for the previously announced divestiture by CRP of saltwater disposal wells and associated produced water infrastructure located primarily in Reeves County, Texas to WaterBridge. The outside date and time for the transaction under the Agreement was 5:00 pm Mountain Time on May 15, 2020 (the “Outside Date”), and Centennial delivered a written notice of termination to WaterBridge shortly thereafter. Centennial believes it has a right to receive the $10 million purchase price deposit currently held in escrow (the “Deposit”) as liquidated damages for the failure by WaterBridge to close the transaction before the Outside Date. WaterBridge, which also delivered a notice of termination to CRP on May 15, 2020, has advised CRP that it disputes CRP’s position and believes that WaterBridge is entitled to a refund of the Deposit.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 15, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the termination of the Agreement. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
