| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. On July 30, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 15, 2024, by and among Crescent Energy Company (the "Issuer"), SilverBow Resources, Inc. ("SilverBow"), Artemis Acquisition Holdings Inc. ("Artemis Holdings"), Artemis Merger Sub Inc. ("Merger Sub Inc.") and Artemis Merger Sub II LLC ("Merger Sub LLC"), the Issuer acquired SilverBow through (i) the merger of Merger Sub Inc. with and into SilverBow, with SilverBow surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the "Initial Merger") and (ii) the merger of SilverBow with and into Merger Sub LLC, with Merger Sub LLC surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Artemis Holdings (the "Transaction"). |
| 2. (Continued from Footnote 1) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Initial Merger (the "Effective Time"), (i) each share of SilverBow's common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive, pursuant to an election that has been made and not revoked or lost five business days prior to the Closing Date (the "Election Deadline"), one of the following forms of consideration: (A) a combination of 1.866 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock and $15.31 in cash (the "Mixed Election Consideration"), (B) $38.00 in cash, subject to an aggregate cap of $400,000,000 on the total cash consideration payable, (C) 3.125 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock (the "Stock Election Consideration"), or (D) in the event of a failure to deliver an election prior to the Election Deadline, the Stock Election Consideration. |
| 3. (Continued from Footnote 2) Prior to the Election Deadline, the Reporting Person elected to receive the Mixed Election Consideration in exchange for his shares of SilverBow common stock. As a result, the Reporting Person received 64,164 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock (the "Consideration Shares") in exchange for shares of SilverBow common stock held by the Reporting Person immediately prior to the Effective Time. |
| 4. (Continued from Footnote 3) Separately, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit of SilverBow (each a "SilverBow RSU"), whether vested or unvested, became fully vested and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (a) a cash payment equal to 50% of the number of shares of SilverBow common stock subject to the SilverBow RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) $38.00 and (b) a number of shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock equal to (i) 50% of the number of shares of SilverBow common stock subject to the SilverBow RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) 3.125 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock, in each case under (a) and (b), less applicable withholdings for taxes. |
| 5. (Continued from Footnote 4) As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 11,982 shares of SilverBow common stock subject to SilverBow RSUs and received 18,721 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock (the "RSU Shares") pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement described in this Footnote 3. The amount reflected in Box 4 reflects the aggregate total of the Consideration Shares and RSU Shares. On July 29, 2024 (the day prior to the Closing Date), the closing price of one share of SilverBow common stock was $36.82, and the closing price of one share of the Issuer's Class A common stock was $11.77. |
