Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 8, 2025, Civitas Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with a financial institution (the “Counterparty”) to repurchase an aggregate of $250 million (the “Repurchase Price”) of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).

Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company will pay the Repurchase Price and receive an initial delivery of Common Stock from the Counterparty with an aggregate value of 80% of the Repurchase Price based on the closing price of the Common Stock on August 7, 2025. The total number of shares that the Company will ultimately repurchase under the ASR Agreement will be determined based on the average of the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. Final settlement of the ASR Agreement is expected to occur within the third quarter of 2025.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K concerning the Company’s future expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, financial conditions, assumptions, or future events or performance that are not historical facts are “forward-looking” statements based on assumptions currently believed to be valid. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “intend,” “estimate,” “probable,” “project,” “forecasts,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “potential,” “may,” “might,” “anticipate,” “likely,” “plan,” “positioned,” “strategy,” and similar expressions or other words of similar meaning, and the negatives thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Specific forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K include statements regarding the Company’s plans and expectations with respect to the ASR Agreement. The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including, but not limited to: future financial condition, results of operations, strategy and plans; declines or volatility in the prices we receive for our crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs; and general economic conditions, whether internationally, nationally, or in the regional and local market areas in which we do business, including any future economic downturn, the impact of continued or further inflation, disruption in the financial markets, the imposition of tariffs or trade or other economic sanctions or political instability.

Additional information concerning other factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” sections in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at the time they were made. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements.
