Our Company

We are an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, development and exploitation of unconventional oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin is located in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico and is comprised of three primary sub-areas: the Midland Basin, the Central Basin Platform and the Delaware Basin. These areas are characterized by high oil and liquids-rich natural gas content, multiple vertical and horizontal target horizons, extensive production histories, long-lived reserves and historically high drilling success rates. Our properties are primarily located in the Midland and Delaware Basins and our activities have historically been focused on the vertical development of the Spraberry, Wolfberry and Wolftoka Trends of the Midland Basin. Our vertical wells in the area are drilled into stacked pay zones that include the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline), Strawn, Atoka and Mississippian formations. We intend to supplement our vertical development drilling activity with horizontal wells targeting various stacked pay intervals in the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline) and Atoka shales.

We began operations in August 2008 when we acquired operator rights to wells producing from the Spraberry Trend in the Midland Basin from Joe Parsley, a co-founder of Parker and Parsley Petroleum Company. As of March 31, 2014, we continue to operate 98 gross (2.4 net) of these wells. Excluding those legacy 98 gross wells, as of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis, we had an average working interest of 59% in 457 gross producing wells. In total, we have interests in 555 gross (271 net) producing wells, on a pro forma basis, all of which are in the Midland Basin and 99% of which we operate. Since our inception, on a pro forma basis, we have leased or acquired 111,644 net acres in the Permian Basin, approximately 89,344 of which is in the Midland Basin. Since we commenced our drilling program in November 2009, we have operated up to 10 rigs simultaneously and averaged 9 operated rigs for the 12 months ended March 31, 2014. Driven primarily by our large-scale drilling program in the core of the Midland Basin, we have grown our net average daily production to 12,852 Boe/d for the month ended April 30, 2014, on a pro forma basis, a substantial majority of which is organic growth from wells we have drilled. We are currently operating nine vertical drilling rigs and two horizontal drilling rigs and expect to operate eight vertical rigs and increase to five horizontal rigs by the first quarter of 2015.

Table of Contents

We intend to grow our reserves and production through the development, exploitation and drilling of our multi-year inventory of identified potential drilling locations. As of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis, we have identified 1,594 80- and 40-acre potential vertical drilling locations, 1,986 20-acre potential vertical drilling locations and 1,681 potential horizontal drilling locations on our existing acreage, which only includes 20 vertical locations in our Gaines County (Midland Basin) and no locations in our Southern Delaware Basin acreage. As we expand our drilling program to our undeveloped Midland Basin acreage in Gaines County (Midland Basin) and our Southern Delaware Basin acreage, we expect to identify additional vertical and horizontal drilling locations. In addition to our vertical drilling program in the Midland Basin, we initiated our horizontal development program with one rig during the fourth quarter of 2013. Additionally, we commenced our vertical appraisal drilling program in the Delaware Basin during the first quarter of 2014 and expect to drill three vertical appraisal wells in 2014. We believe our acreage in the Delaware Basin may also benefit from the application of horizontal drilling and completion techniques. We expect to supplement organic growth from our drilling program by proactively leasing additional acreage and selectively pursuing acquisitions that meet our strategic and financial objectives, with an emphasis on oil-weighted reserves in the Midland Basin.

Our 2014 capital budget for drilling and completion is approximately $409.0 million for an estimated 164 gross (138 net) vertical wells and 26 gross (19 net) horizontal wells. Our capital budget excludes any amounts that may be paid for acquisitions. We anticipate that substantially all of our 2014 capital budget will be directed toward the Midland Basin. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, our aggregate drilling and completion capital expenditures were $268.4 million, excluding acquisitions. We expect the average working interest in wells we drill during 2014 will be approximately 75% to 85%.

The amount and timing of these capital expenditures is largely discretionary and within our control. We could choose to defer a portion of these planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the success of our drilling activities, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals, seasonal conditions, drilling and acquisition costs and the level of participation by other interest owners.

We measure the expected return of our wells based on estimated ultimate recovery (“EUR”) and the related costs of acquisition, development and production. Based on estimates prepared by NSAI for our reserves as of December 31, 2013, type curves for vertical locations in our Midland Basin-Core and Midland Basin-Tier I areas have average EURs of 214.8 MBoe (109.1 MBbls of oil, 300.5 MMcf of natural gas and 55.6 MBbls of NGLs) and 109.3 MBoe (69.0 MBbls of oil, 114.5 MMcf of natural gas and 21.2 MBbls of NGLs), respectively. These estimates assume average 30-day initial production rates of 149.7 Boe/d (76.0 Bbls/d of oil, 209.3 Mcf/d of natural gas and 38.8 Bbls/d of NGLs) and 84.5 Boe/d (53.3 Bbls/d of oil, 88.5 Mcf/d of natural gas and 16.4 Bbls/d of NGLs), respectively, which is consistent with the performance of our existing producing wells in these areas. We have no proved undeveloped locations on our Midland Basin-Other or Southern Delaware Basin properties. To date, the average drilling, completion with sufficient cost data and facilities cost for the 201 and 125 vertical development wells we have drilled and placed on production in our Midland Basin-Core and Midland Basin-Tier I areas, respectively, is approximately $2.3 million and approximately $2.0 million, respectively. The average 2-stream 30-day initial production rate for all of the wells we drilled during the third and fourth quarters of 2013 was 153 Boe/d (comprised of 90 Bbls/d of oil and 373 Mcf/d of natural gas, which includes NGLs). Please see “—Recent Developments—Recent Well Results.”

(1) We have estimated our drilling locations based on well spacing assumptions for the areas in which we operate and other criteria. The drilling locations on which we actually drill will depend on the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, commodity prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors. Any drilling activities we are able to conduct on these identified locations may not be successful and may not result in our adding additional proved reserves to our existing proved reserves. See ‘‘Risk Factors—Our identified drilling locations are scheduled over many years, making them susceptible to uncertainties that could materially alter the occurrence or timing of their drilling. In addition, we may not be able to raise the substantial amount of capital that would be necessary to drill such locations.” We have not identified any drilling locations at this time on our substantial leasehold positions in the Southern Delaware Basin and only 20 vertical locations in Gaines County in the Midland Basin, due to our limited operating history in these areas.
(2) Our total identified vertical drilling locations include 594 vertical locations on 80- and 40- acre spacing and 11 vertical locations on 20-acre spacing associated with proved undeveloped reserves as of December 31, 2013. Of these 605 vertical locations, 434 are in our Midland Basin-Core area and 171 are in our Midland Basin-Tier I area. The remaining 1,000 vertical drilling locations on 80- and 40-acre spacing and the 1,975 vertical drilling locations on 20-acre spacing were identified by our engineering and geoscience staff but as of yet have no associated proved reserves.
(3) Our Midland Basin-Core area contains areas of Andrews, Glasscock, Howard, Martin, Midland, Reagan and Upton Counties. Our Midland Basin-Tier 1 area includes areas of Andrews, Borden, Crane, Dawson, Ector, Glasscock, Howard, Irion, Martin, Midland, Reagan and Upton Counties. Our Midland Basin-Other area includes portions of Andrews, Dawson and Gaines Counties. Our Southern Delaware Basin includes portions of Pecos and Reeves Counties. Please see “Business—Our Properties.”
(4) Our target horizontal location count implies 724’ to 870’ between well spacing which is equivalent to five to six wells per 640-acre section per prospective interval. The ultimate spacing may be less than these amounts, which would result in a higher location count, or greater than these amounts, which would result in a lower location count.
(5) Based on spud to release times consistent with our 2013 drilling program and a continuous eight-rig vertical drilling program.
(6) Based on a continuous six-rig program and an estimated spud to release time of 32 days.

We believe the experience gained from our historical vertical drilling program and the information obtained from the results of extensive industry drilling across the Permian Basin have reduced the geological risk and uncertainty associated with drilling vertical wells on our acreage. Our horizontal drilling program is intended to further capture the upside potential that may exist on our properties and increase our well performance and recoveries as compared to drilling vertical wells alone.

As of December 31, 2013, our estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves at December 31, 2013, which do not include reserves associated with our properties described under “—Recent Developments—Recent

(1) Our estimated net proved reserves were determined using average first-day-of-the-month prices for the prior 12 months in accordance with SEC guidance.

(3) Includes both oil and NGLs.
(4) On a pro forma basis for the month ended April 30, 2014. Represents 6,626 Bbls/d of crude oil, 3,278 Bbls/d NGLs and 17,686 Mcf/d of natural gas.
(5) Represents the number of years proved reserves would last assuming production continued at the average rate for the month ended April 30, 2014, on a pro forma basis. Because production rates naturally decline over time, the R/P Ratio may not be a useful estimate of how long properties should economically produce.
(6) PV-10 was prepared using SEC pricing discounted at 10% per annum, without giving effect to taxes or hedges. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to our investors as supplemental disclosure to the standardized measure of future net cash flows, or after tax amount, because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes and our current tax structure. While the standardized measure is dependent on the unique tax situation of each company, PV-10 is based on a pricing methodology and discount factors that are consistent for all companies. Moreover, GAAP does not provide a measure of estimated future net cash flows for reserves other than proved reserves or for proved, probable or possible reserves calculated using prices other than SEC prices. PV-10 does not take into account the effect of future taxes. Investors should be cautioned that neither PV-10 nor standardized measure represents an estimate of the fair market value of our proved reserves. For a reconciliation of PV-10 of proved reserves based on SEC pricing to standardized measure, see “—Summary Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated and Combined Financial Data—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Our Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to increase shareholder value through the following:

 

   

Grow reserves, production and cash flow by exploiting our liquids rich resource base. We intend to selectively develop our acreage base in an effort to maximize its value and resource potential. We intend to pursue drilling opportunities that offer competitive returns that we consider to be low risk based on production history and industry activity in the area, and repeatable as a result of well-defined geological properties over a large area. Through the conversion of our resource base to developed reserves, we will seek to increase our reserves, production and cash flow while generating favorable returns on invested capital. As of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis, we have identified 1,594 80- and 40-acre potential vertical drilling locations, 1,986 20-acre potential vertical drilling locations and 1,681 potential horizontal drilling locations on our existing acreage, which only includes 20 vertical locations in our Gaines County

(Midland Basin) and no locations in our Southern Delaware Basin acreage. As we expand our drilling program to our undeveloped Gaines County (Midland Basin) and Southern Delaware Basin acreage, we expect to identify additional vertical and horizontal drilling locations on those properties.

 

   

Optimize our low risk vertical drilling program and capture potential horizontal development opportunities. Our large scale drilling program has historically focused on optimizing our vertical drilling and completion techniques across our Midland Basin acreage. We intend to continue drilling on 80-acre spacing to hold leases by production and to conduct infill drilling on 40-acre downspacing, which generally increases the recovery factor per section and enhances returns because infrastructure is typically in place. We believe opportunities for increased well density exist across our acreage base for both our horizontal and vertical drilling programs and that horizontal drilling may be economical in areas where vertical drilling is currently not economical or logistically viable. We intend to target multiple benches within the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline) and Atoka shales with horizontal wells and believe our horizontal drilling program may significantly increase our recoveries per section as compared to drilling vertical wells alone.

 

   

Improve operational and cost efficiency by maintaining control of our production. We currently operate approximately 99% of the wells in which we have an interest and intend to maintain operational control of substantially all of our producing properties. We believe that retaining control of our production will enable us to increase recovery rates, lower well costs, improve drilling performance and increase ultimate hydrocarbon recovery through optimization of our drilling and completion techniques. Our management team regularly evaluates our operating results against those of other operators in the area in an effort to improve our performance and implement best practices. We have reduced the average time from spud to rig release for our vertical Spraberry and Wolfberry wells from approximately 18 days during 2011 to approximately 15.8 days in the first quarter of 2014. Our average total depth of wells drilled in 2013 was 11,350 feet. We have also reduced our total drilling, completion and facilities costs from a peak average of $2.4 million per well in the first quarter of 2012 to an average of $1.9 million per well in the fourth quarter of 2013. This decrease was driven primarily by a reduction in hydraulic fracturing costs and efficiencies gained through economies of scale over this time period.

 

   

Pursue additional leasing and strategic acquisitions. We intend to focus primarily on increasing our acreage position through leasing in our Midland Basin-Core area, while selectively pursuing other acquisition opportunities that meet our strategic and financial objectives. Our acreage position extends through what we believe are multiple oil and natural gas producing stratigraphic horizons in the Midland Basin, which we refer to as the stacked pay core, and we believe we can economically and efficiently add and integrate additional acreage into our current operations. We have a proven history of acquiring leasehold positions in the Permian Basin that have substantial oil-weighted resource potential and believe our management team’s extensive experience operating in the Midland Basin provides us with a competitive advantage in identifying leasing opportunities and acquisition targets and evaluating resource potential.

 

   

Maintain financial flexibility. We intend to maintain a conservative financial position to allow us to develop our drilling, exploitation and exploration activities and maximize the present value of our oil-weighted resource potential. We intend to fund our growth with cash flow from operations, liquidity under our revolving credit facility and access to capital markets over time. As of March 31, 2014, after giving effect to this offering and the use of the proceeds therefrom, we will have $615.0 million of liquidity, with $287.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $327.2 million of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. Consistent with our disciplined approach to financial management, we have an active commodity hedging program that seeks to hedge approximately 40% to 60% of our expected oil production on a rolling 24 to 36 month basis, reducing our exposure to downside commodity price fluctuations and enabling us to protect cash flows and maintain liquidity to fund our capital program and investment opportunities. In addition, as a result of the recent increase in natural gas prices, we have hedged 1,800,000 MMBtu and 3,600,000 MMBtu of our expected 2014 and 2015 natural gas production, respectively.

Our Strengths

We believe that the following strengths will help us achieve our business goals:

 

   

Liquids rich, multi-year vertical drilling inventory in the core of one of North America’s leading oil resource plays. All of our leasehold acreage is located in one of the most prolific resource plays in North America, the Permian Basin in West Texas. The majority of our current properties in the Midland Basin are positioned in what we believe to be the stacked pay fairway of the Spraberry, Wolfberry and Wolftoka Trends. We have identified a multi-year inventory of potential drilling locations for our oil-weighted reserves that we believe provides attractive growth and return opportunities. We view our identified vertical drilling inventory in the Midland Basin as substantially “de-risked” based on our extensive drilling and production history in the area and well-established industry activity surrounding our acreage. As of December 31, 2013, our estimated net proved reserves consisted of approximately 54% oil, 23% natural gas liquids and 23% natural gas.

 

   

Extensive horizontal development potential. We believe there are a significant number of horizontal locations on our acreage that will allow us to target the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline) and Atoka shales. In addition, based on our analysis of data acquired through our vertical drilling program and the activities of offset operators, we believe that multiple benches contained within our acreage may have significant resource potential, which could substantially increase the ultimate hydrocarbon recovery of each surface acre we have under leasehold. Excluding our Gaines County (Midland Basin) and Southern Delaware Basin acreage, on a pro forma basis, we had 1,681 identified potential horizontal drilling locations as of March 31, 2014. During 2013, we spud our first horizontal well in the Wolfcamp B interval across North Upton and Southern Midland Counties and plan to ramp up to five horizontal rigs by the first quarter of 2015. We currently expect to drill 26 additional gross (19 net) horizontal wells during 2014. As we continue to expand our vertical drilling program to our undeveloped acreage in Gaines County (Midland Basin) and the Southern Delaware Basin, we expect to identify additional horizontal drilling locations.

 

   

Incentivized management team with substantial technical and operational expertise. Our management team has a proven track record of executing on multi-rig development drilling programs and extensive experience in the Spraberry, Wolfberry and Wolftoka Trends of the Permian Basin. Our chief executive officer, Bryan Sheffield, is a third generation oil and gas executive, and our management team has previous experience at Parker and Parsley Petroleum Company (“Parker and Parsley”), Concho Resources (“Concho”), Chesapeake Energy Corporation (“Chesapeake”), and Pioneer Natural Resources (“Pioneer”). We have also assembled a technical team that includes seven petroleum engineers and four geologists with an average of fifteen years of experience, which we believe will be of strategic importance as we continue to expand our future exploration and development plans. After giving effect to this offering, our management team will hold approximately 43.0% of our ownership interest and will be our largest shareholder group. We believe our management team’s significant ownership interest provides meaningful incentive to increase the value of our business for the benefit of all shareholders.

 

   

Operating control over approximately 99% of our production. As of March 31, 2014, we operated approximately 99% of the wells in which we have an interest. We believe that maintaining control of our production enables us to dictate the pace of development and better manage the cost, type and timing of exploration, exploitation and development activities. Our leasehold position is comprised primarily of properties that we operate and, excluding our Gaines County (Midland Basin) and Southern Delaware Basin acreage, on a pro forma basis, includes an estimated 1,594 80- and 40-acre potential vertical drilling locations, 1,986 20-acre potential vertical drilling locations and 1,681 potential horizontal drilling locations.

 

   

Conservative balance sheet. We expect to maintain financial flexibility that will allow us to develop our drilling activities and selectively pursue acquisitions. After consummation of the transactions contemplated by

this prospectus, we expect to have no debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $327.2 million of available borrowing capacity. We believe this borrowing capacity, along with our cash flow from operations, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to execute on our current capital program.

Recent Horizontal Operating Results

In November 2013, we commenced our horizontal drilling program in the Midland Basin with one rig targeting various intervals in the Wolfcamp shale. As of April 30, 2014, we had three wells on production (Dusek 45-1HB, Shackelford 7-1HB and Dusek 44-1HB), one well undergoing a fracture stimulation treatment (Shackelford 7-2HB) and one well being drilled (Skaggs 8-2HB).

The Dusek 45-1HB had a 24-hour peak rate of 2,044 Boe/d (1,487 Bbls/d of oil, 387 Bbls/d of NGLs and 1,017 Mcf/d of natural gas) and a peak 30-day rate of 1,592 Boe/d (1,156 Bbls/d of oil, 303 Bbls/d of NGLs and 796 Mcf/d of natural gas) and is currently producing while on gas lift. The Shackelford 7-1HB had a 24-hour peak rate of 1,442 Boe/d (1,121 Bbls/d of oil, 223 Bbls/d of NGLs and 585 Mcf/d of natural gas) and a peak 30-day rate of 796 Boe/d (568 Bbls/d of oil, 158 Bbls/d of NGLs and 421 Mcf/d of natural gas) and is currently producing while on gas lift. The Dusek 44-1HB had a 24-hour peak rate of 1,569 Boe/d (1,158 Bbls/d of oil, 285 Bbls/d of NGLs and 758 Mcf/d of natural gas) and a peak 14-day rate of 1,298 Boe/d (948 Bbls/d of oil, 241 Bbls/d of NGLs and 649 Mcf/d of natural gas) and is currently producing while on gas lift.

The Dusek 45-1HB targeted the Wolfcamp B and was completed utilizing 39 frac stages over a 9,061’ stimulated interval. The Shackelford 7-1HB also targeted the Wolfcamp B and was completed utilizing 21 frac stages over a 4,571’ stimulated interval and is currently producing. The Dusek 44-1HB also targeted the Wolfcamp B and was completed utilizing 22 frac stages over a 4,697’ stimulated interval. We do not currently have sufficient production data for the Dusek 44-1HB well. The Shackelford 7-2HB is targeting the Wolfcamp B and is currently undergoing fracture stimulation. The Skaggs 8-2HB is targeting the Wolfcamp B and is currently drilling.

Recent Acquisition Activity

On April 10, 2014, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which we acquired an option to purchase 5,040 gross (4,867 net) acres primarily in our Midland Basin-Core area (the “OGX Acquisition”) for total consideration of $132.8 million (net of a $1.0 million option fee). There is de minimis production associated with this acreage. The option is exercisable at any time within the ten day period following the consummation of this offering, and expires on July 31, 2014. Closing of the acquisition is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including completion of title and other diligence. We expect to exercise the option; however, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to complete the acquisition on the terms described or at all. We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to fund the purchase price of these assets. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Table of Contents

On May 1, 2014, we completed a purchase and sale transaction pursuant to which we acquired 2,240 gross (1,997 net) acres in our Midland Basin-Core area and seven gross (6.3 net) wells with average production for the month ended April 30, 2014 of approximately 1,407 gross (861 net) Boe/d, for total consideration of $165.3 million (the “Pacer Acquisition”). At May 1, 2014, the estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves associated with these assets, based on internal reserve estimates prepared by our in-house petroleum engineers and audited by NSAI, were approximately 8.1 MMBoe (approximately 45% oil, 26% natural gas, 29% NGLs and 19.3% proved developed). The PV-10 of these reserves at May 1, 2014 was $128.5 million.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On February 5, 2014, Parsley LLC and Parsley Finance Corp. issued $400 million of 7.5% senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2022 (the “Notes”). Interest is payable on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing August 15, 2014. These notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our subsidiaries, other than Parsley LLC and Parsley Finance Corp. The issuance of these notes resulted in net proceeds, after discounts and offering expenses, of approximately $391.4 million, $198.5 million of which was used to repay all outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and a prepayment penalty under our second lien credit facility (which was terminated concurrently with such repayment) and $175.1 million of which was used to partially repay amounts outstanding, plus accrued interest, under our revolving credit facility.

On April 14, 2014, Parsley LLC and Parsley Finance Corp. issued an additional $150 million of the Notes at 104% of par for gross proceeds of $156 million. The issuance of these notes resulted in net proceeds of approximately $152.8 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses, $145 million of which was used to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Risk Factors

Investing in our Class A common stock involves risks that include the speculative nature of oil and natural gas exploration, competition, volatile oil and natural gas prices and other material factors. You should read carefully the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23 for an explanation of these risks before investing in our Class A common stock. In particular, the following considerations may offset our competitive strengths or have a negative effect on our strategy or operating activities, which could cause a decrease in the price of our Class A common stock and a loss of all or part of your investment:

 

   

Oil and natural gas prices are volatile. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and our ability to meet our capital expenditure obligations and financial commitments.

 

   

Our development and exploratory drilling efforts and our well operations may not be profitable or achieve our targeted returns.

 

   

Our exploitation, development and exploration projects require substantial capital expenditures. We may be unable to obtain required capital or financing on satisfactory terms, which could lead to a decline in our reserves.

 

   

Reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves.

 

   

Our producing properties are located in the Permian Basin of West Texas, making us vulnerable to risks associated with operating in one major geographic area.

 

   

Unless we replace our reserves with new reserves and develop those reserves, our reserves and production will decline, which would adversely affect our future cash flows and results of operations.

 

   

We depend upon several significant purchasers for the sale of most of our oil and natural gas production. The loss of one or more of these purchasers could, among other factors, limit our access to suitable markets for the oil and natural gas we produce.

 

 

11


Table of Contents
   

We may incur substantial losses and be subject to substantial liability claims as a result of our operations. Additionally, we may not be insured for, or our insurance may be inadequate to protect us against, these risks.

 

   

We may be unable to make attractive acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired businesses, and any inability to do so may disrupt our business and hinder our ability to grow.

 

   

We are subject to complex federal, state, local and other laws and regulations related to environmental, health, and safety issues that could adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of conducting our operations or expose us to significant liabilities.

 

   

Federal, state and local legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing as well as governmental reviews of such activities could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays in the completion of oil and natural gas wells and adversely affect our production.

For a discussion of other considerations that could negatively affect us, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23 and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 49 of this prospectus.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and the exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” for complying with new or revised accounting standards, but we have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

We intend to take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have $1.0 billion or more in annual revenues; (ii) the date on which we become a “large accelerated filer” (the fiscal year-end on which the total market value of our common equity securities held by non-affiliates is $700 million or more as of June 30); (iii) the date on which we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period; or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering.

For a description of the qualifications and other requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and certain elections that we have made due to our status as an emerging growth company, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Offering and our Class A Common Stock—For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies” on page 47 of this prospectus.

Use of proceeds

We expect to receive approximately $562.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock offered by us, based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $16.50 per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us (or approximately $665.2 million if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full). Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the public offering price would increase (decrease) our net proceeds by approximately $34.4 million (assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares).

 

  We intend to contribute all of the net proceeds of this offering to Parsley LLC in exchange for PE Units. Parsley LLC will use (i) approximately $6.7 million to make a cash payment in settlement of the Preferred Return, (ii) $165.3 million to reduce amounts drawn under Parsley LLC’s revolving credit facility, (iii) $132.8 million to fund the OGX Acquisition and related fees and expenses and (iv) any remaining net proceeds to fund a portion of our exploration and development program. In the event that the OGX Acquisition does not close, we would use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to fund a portion of our exploration and development program. Please see “Use of Proceeds.”

 

  We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock by the selling shareholders.

 

Conflicts of Interest

A portion of the net proceeds from this offering will be used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Because affiliates of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are lenders under our revolving credit facility and will receive 5% or more of the net proceeds of this offering, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are deemed to have a “conflict of interest” under Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).

SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

Parsley Inc. was formed in December 2013 and does not have historical financial operating results. The following table shows summary historical and pro forma consolidated and combined financial data of our accounting predecessor, Parsley LLC and its predecessors, for the periods and as of the dates presented. Parsley LLC was formed on June 11, 2013. Concurrent with the formation of Parsley LLC, all of the interest holders in Parsley Energy, L.P., Parsley Energy Management, LLC and Parsley Energy Operations, LLC exchanged their interests in each such entity for common units in Parsley LLC (the “Exchange”). The Exchange was treated as a reorganization of entities under common control. Due to the factors described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our future results of operations will not be comparable to the historical results of our predecessor.

The summary historical consolidated and combined financial data as of December 31, 2012 and 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were derived from the audited historical consolidated and combined financial statements of our predecessor included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary unaudited historical interim consolidated and combined financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 were derived from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated and combined financial statements of our predecessor included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary unaudited historical consolidated and combined interim financial data has been prepared on a consistent basis with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements of Parsley LLC. In the opinion of management, such summary unaudited historical consolidated and combined interim financial data reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) considered necessary to present our financial position for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year because of the impact of fluctuations in prices received from oil and natural gas, natural production declines, the uncertainty of exploration and development drilling results and other factors.

The summary unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined statement of operations data for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 has been prepared to give pro forma effect to (i) the reorganization transactions described under “Corporate Reorganization,” (ii) the acquisition in December 2013 of non-operated working interests in a number of wells for aggregate consideration of approximately $80.0 million (the “Merit Acquisition”), (iii) the Pacer Acquisition, (iv) the repayment and termination of our second lien credit facility and the repayment of amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility and (v) this offering and the application of the net proceeds from this offering as if they had been completed as of January 1, 2013. The summary unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 has been prepared to give pro forma effect to these transactions as if they had been completed on March 31, 2014, respectively. The summary unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial data are presented for informational purposes only and should not be considered indicative of actual results of operations that would have been achieved had the reorganization transactions and this offering been consummated on the dates indicated, and do not purport to be indicative of statements of financial position or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period.

(1) Parsley Inc. is a subchapter C corporation (“C-corp”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is subject to federal and State of Texas income taxes. Our predecessor, Parsley LLC was not subject to U.S. federal income taxes. As a result, the consolidated and combined net income in our historical financial statements does not reflect the tax expense we would have incurred as a C-corp during such periods. However, our pro forma financial data gives effect to income taxes, at an effective tax rate of 36%, on the earnings of our predecessor as if it had been subject to federal and state income taxes as a C-corp for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014.
(2) Pro forma cash and cash equivalents includes $132.8 million of the net proceeds of this offering that we intend to use to fund the OGX Acquisition and related fees and expenses.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to our most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please read “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated and combined financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before depreciation, depletion and amortization,

Table of Contents

gain (loss) on sales of oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligation accretion expense, interest expense, income tax, prepayment premium on extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments and premiums (paid) received on options that settled during the period.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows it to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and may also be used by investors to measure our ability to meet debt service requirements.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP financial measure of net income for each of the periods indicated.

Summary Reserve and Operating Data

The following tables present summary data with respect to our estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves and operating data as of the dates presented.

The proved reserve estimates attributable to our properties at December 31, 2013 presented in the table below are based on a reserve report prepared by NSAI, our independent reserve engineers. The NSAI Report was prepared in accordance with current SEC rules and regulations regarding oil and natural gas reserve reporting. The following tables also contain summary unaudited consolidated and combined information regarding production and sales of oil and natural gas with respect to such properties.

In evaluating the material presented below, please read “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business—Oil and Natural Gas Data—Proved Reserves,” “Business—Oil and Natural Gas Production Prices and Production Costs—Production and Price History” and our consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Class A common stock involves risks. You should carefully consider the information in this prospectus, including the matters addressed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and the following risks before making an investment decision. The trading price of our Class A common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Oil and Natural Gas Industry and Our Business

Oil and natural gas prices are volatile. A substantial or extended decline in commodity prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and our ability to meet our capital expenditure obligations and financial commitments.

The prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production heavily influence our revenue, profitability, access to capital and future rate of growth. Natural gas, NGLs and oil are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the commodities market has been volatile. This market will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The prices we receive for our production, and the levels of our production, depend on numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the following:

 

   

worldwide and regional economic conditions impacting the global supply and demand for natural gas, NGLs and oil;

 

   

the price and quantity of foreign imports;

 

   

political conditions in or affecting other producing countries, including conflicts in the Middle East, Africa, South America and Russia;

 

   

the level of global exploration and production;

 

   

the level of global inventories;

 

   

prevailing prices on local price indices in the areas in which we operate;

 

   

the proximity, capacity, cost and availability of gathering and transportation facilities;

 

   

localized and global supply and demand fundamentals and transportation availability;

 

   

weather conditions;

 

   

technological advances affecting energy consumption;

 

   

the price and availability of alternative fuels; and

 

   

domestic, local and foreign governmental regulation and taxes.

Furthermore, the worldwide financial and credit crisis in recent years has reduced the availability of liquidity and credit to fund the continuation and expansion of industrial business operations worldwide resulting in a slowdown in economic activity and recession in parts of the world. This has reduced worldwide demand for energy and resulted in lower natural gas, NGLs and oil prices.

Lower commodity prices will reduce our cash flows and borrowing ability. We may be unable to obtain needed capital or financing on satisfactory terms, which could lead to a decline in our reserves as existing reserves are depleted. Lower commodity prices may also reduce the amount of natural gas, NGLs and oil that we can produce economically.

If commodity prices further decrease, a significant portion of our exploitation, development and exploration projects could become uneconomic. This may result in our having to make significant downward adjustments to

 

23


Table of Contents

our estimated proved reserves. As a result, a substantial or extended decline in commodity prices may materially and adversely affect our future business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or ability to finance planned capital expenditures.

Our development and exploratory drilling efforts and our well operations may not be profitable or achieve our targeted returns.

We have acquired significant amounts of unproved property in order to further our development efforts and expect to continue to undertake acquisitions in the future. Development and exploratory drilling and production activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be discovered. We acquire unproved properties and lease undeveloped acreage that we believe will enhance our growth potential and increase our results of operations over time. However, we cannot assure you that all prospects will be economically viable or that we will not abandon our investments. Additionally, we cannot assure you that unproved property acquired by us or undeveloped acreage leased by us will be profitably developed, that wells drilled by us in prospects that we pursue will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of our investment in such unproved property or wells.

Properties we acquire may not produce as projected, and we may be unable to determine reserve potential, identify liabilities associated with the properties that we acquire or obtain protection from sellers against such liabilities.

Acquiring oil and natural gas properties requires us to assess reservoir and infrastructure characteristics, including recoverable reserves, development and operating costs and potential environmental and other liabilities. Such assessments are inexact and inherently uncertain. In connection with the assessments, we perform a review of the subject properties, but such a review will not reveal all existing or potential problems. In the course of our due diligence, we may not inspect every well or pipeline. We cannot necessarily observe structural and environmental problems, such as pipe corrosion, when an inspection is made. We may not be able to obtain contractual indemnities from the seller for liabilities created prior to our purchase of the property. We may be required to assume the risk of the physical condition of the properties in addition to the risk that the properties may not perform in accordance with our expectations.

Our exploitation, development and exploration projects require substantial capital expenditures. We may be unable to obtain required capital or financing on satisfactory terms, which could lead to a decline in our reserves.

The oil and natural gas industry is capital intensive. We make and expect to continue to make substantial capital expenditures for the exploitation, development and acquisition of oil and natural gas reserves. We expect to fund 2014 capital expenditures with cash generated by operations, the proceeds of this offering, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and possibly through capital market transactions. The actual amount and timing of our future capital expenditures may differ materially from our estimates as a result of, among other things, oil and natural gas prices, actual drilling results, the availability of drilling rigs and other services and equipment, and regulatory, technological and competitive developments. A reduction in commodity prices from current levels may result in a decrease in our actual capital expenditures, which would negatively impact our ability to grow production. We intend to finance our future capital expenditures primarily through cash flow from operations and through borrowings under our revolving credit facility. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Our cash flow from operations and access to capital are subject to a number of variables, including:

 

   

our proved reserves;

 

   

the level of hydrocarbons we are able to produce from existing wells;

 

   

the prices at which our production is sold;

 

24


Table of Contents
   

our ability to acquire, locate and produce new reserves; and

 

   

our ability to borrow under our credit facility.

If our revenues or the borrowing base under our revolving credit facility decreases as a result of lower oil and natural gas prices, operating difficulties, declines in reserves or for any other reason, we may have limited ability to obtain the capital necessary to sustain our operations and growth at current levels. If additional capital is needed, we may not be able to obtain debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If cash flow generated by our operations or available borrowings under our revolving credit facility are not sufficient to meet our capital requirements, the failure to obtain additional financing could result in a curtailment of our operations relating to development of our properties, which in turn could lead to a decline in our reserves and production, and would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Drilling for and producing oil and natural gas are high risk activities with many uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our future financial condition and results of operations will depend on the success of our exploitation, development and acquisition activities, which are subject to numerous risks beyond our control, including the risk that drilling will not result in commercially viable oil and natural gas production.

Our decisions to purchase, explore, develop or otherwise exploit prospects or properties will depend in part on the evaluation of data obtained through geophysical and geological analyses, production data and engineering studies, the results of which are often inconclusive or subject to varying interpretations. For a discussion of the uncertainty involved in these processes, see “—Reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves.” In addition, our cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain before drilling commences.

Further, many factors may curtail, delay or cancel our scheduled drilling projects, including the following:

 

   

delays imposed by or resulting from compliance with regulatory requirements including limitations resulting from wastewater disposal, discharge of greenhouse gases, and limitations on hydraulic fracturing;

 

   

pressure or irregularities in geological formations;

 

   

shortages of or delays in obtaining equipment and qualified personnel or in obtaining water for hydraulic fracturing activities;

 

   

equipment failures or accidents;

 

   

lack of available gathering facilities or delays in construction of gathering facilities;

 

   

lack of available capacity on interconnecting transmission pipelines;

 

   

adverse weather conditions, such as blizzards, tornados and ice storms;

 

   

issues related to compliance with environmental regulations;

 

   

environmental hazards, such as oil and natural gas leaks, oil spills, pipeline and tank ruptures, encountering naturally occurring radioactive materials, and unauthorized discharges of brine, well stimulation and completion fluids, toxic gases or other pollutants into the surface and subsurface environment;

 

   

declines in oil and natural gas prices;

 

   

limited availability of financing at acceptable terms;

 

   

title problems or legal disputes regarding leasehold rights; and

 

   

limitations in the market for oil and natural gas.

Our identified drilling locations are scheduled over many years, making them susceptible to uncertainties that could materially alter the occurrence or timing of their drilling. In addition, we may not be able to raise the substantial amount of capital that would be necessary to drill such locations.

Our management team has specifically identified and scheduled certain drilling locations as an estimation of our future multi-year drilling activities on our existing acreage. These locations represent a significant part of our growth strategy. Our ability to drill and develop these locations depends on a number of uncertainties, including oil and natural gas prices, the availability and cost of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, gathering system and pipeline transportation constraints, access to and availability of water sourcing and distribution systems, regulatory approvals and other factors. Because of these uncertain factors, we do not know if the numerous potential well locations we have identified will ever be drilled or if we will be able to produce natural gas or oil from these or any other potential locations. In addition, unless production is established within the spacing units covering the undeveloped acres on which some of the potential locations are obtained, the leases for such acreage will expire. As such, our actual drilling activities may materially differ from those presently identified.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under applicable debt instruments, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our indebtedness obligations, including our $750 million revolving credit facility and our senior unsecured notes, depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or refinance indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. In the absence of sufficient cash flows and capital resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet debt service and other obligations. Our credit facility and the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes currently restrict our ability to dispose of assets and our use of the proceeds from such disposition. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions, and the proceeds of any such disposition may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet scheduled debt service obligations.

In addition, we will require significant additional capital over a prolonged period in order to pursue the development of these locations, and we may not be able to raise or generate the capital required to do so. Any drilling activities we are able to conduct on these potential locations may not be successful or result in our ability to add additional proved reserves to our overall proved reserves or may result in a downward revision of our estimated proved reserves, which could have a material adverse effect on our future business and results of operations.

Restrictions in our existing and future debt agreements could limit our growth and our ability to engage in certain activities.

Our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes contain a number of significant covenants, including restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to, among other things:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

sell assets;

 

26


Table of Contents
   

make loans to others;

 

   

make investments;

 

   

enter into mergers;

 

   

make certain payments;

 

   

hedge future production or interest rates;

 

   

incur liens; and

 

   

engage in certain other transactions without the prior consent of the lenders.

In addition, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios or to reduce our indebtedness if we are unable to comply with such ratios. These restrictions may also limit our ability to obtain future financings to withstand a future downturn in our business or the economy in general, or to otherwise conduct necessary corporate activities. We may also be prevented from taking advantage of business opportunities that arise because of the limitations that the restrictive covenants under our credit facilities impose on us.

Our revolving credit facility limits the amount we can borrow up to a borrowing base amount, which the lenders, in their sole discretion, determine on a semi-annual basis based upon projected revenues from the oil and natural gas properties securing our loan. The lenders can unilaterally adjust the borrowing base and the borrowings permitted to be outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Any increase in the borrowing base requires the consent of the lenders holding 100% of the commitments. If the requisite number of lenders do not agree to a proposed borrowing base, then the borrowing base will be the highest borrowing base acceptable to such lenders. Outstanding borrowings in excess of the borrowing base must be repaid.

A breach of any covenant in our revolving credit facility would result in a default under the applicable agreement after any applicable grace periods. A default, if not waived, could result in acceleration of the indebtedness outstanding under the relevant facility and in a default with respect to, and an acceleration of, the indebtedness outstanding under other debt agreements. The accelerated indebtedness would become immediately due and payable. If that occurs, we may not be able to make all of the required payments or borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness. Even if new financing were available at that time, it may not be on terms that are acceptable to us.

Our derivative activities could result in financial losses or could reduce our earnings.

To achieve more predictable cash flows and reduce our exposure to adverse fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas, we enter into commodity derivative contracts for a significant portion of our production, primarily consisting of put spreads and three-way collars. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Our Properties—Sources of Our Revenues—Realized Prices on the Sale of Oil, Natural Gas and NGLs.” Accordingly, our earnings may fluctuate significantly as a result of changes in fair value of our derivative instruments.

Derivative instruments also expose us to the risk of financial loss in some circumstances, including when:

 

   

production is less than the volume covered by the derivative instruments;

 

   

the counterparty to the derivative instrument defaults on its contractual obligations;

 

   

there is an increase in the differential between the underlying price in the derivative instrument and actual prices received; or

 

   

there are issues with regard to legal enforceability of such instruments.

The use of derivatives may, in some cases, require the posting of cash collateral with counterparties. If we enter into derivative instruments that require cash collateral and commodity prices or interest rates change in a

 

27


Table of Contents

manner adverse to us, our cash otherwise available for use in our operations would be reduced which could limit our ability to make future capital expenditures and make payments on our indebtedness, and which could also limit the size of our borrowing base. Future collateral requirements will depend on arrangements with our counterparties, highly volatile oil and natural gas prices and interest rates. In addition, derivative arrangements could limit the benefit we would receive from increases in the prices for oil and natural gas, which could also have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

Our commodity derivative contracts expose us to risk of financial loss if a counterparty fails to perform under a contract. Disruptions in the financial markets could lead to sudden decreases in a counterparty’s liquidity, which could make them unable to perform under the terms of the contract and we may not be able to realize the benefit of the contract. We are unable to predict sudden changes in a counterparty’s creditworthiness or ability to perform. Even if we do accurately predict sudden changes, our ability to negate the risk may be limited depending upon market conditions.

During periods of declining commodity prices, our derivative contract receivable positions generally increase, which increases our counterparty credit exposure. If the creditworthiness of our counterparties deteriorates and results in their nonperformance, we could incur a significant loss with respect to our commodity derivative contracts.

Reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves.

The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is complex. It requires interpretations of available technical data and many assumptions, including assumptions relating to current and future economic conditions and commodity prices. Any significant inaccuracies in these interpretations or assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of our reserves.

In order to prepare reserve estimates, we must project production rates and timing of development expenditures. We must also analyze available geological, geophysical, production and engineering data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. The process also requires economic assumptions about matters such as oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds.

Actual future production, oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves will vary from our estimates. Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of our reserves. In addition, we may adjust reserve estimates to reflect production history, results of exploration and development, existing commodity prices and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

You should not assume that the present value of future net revenues from our reserves is the current market value of our estimated reserves. We generally base the estimated discounted future net cash flows from reserves on prices and costs on the date of the estimate. Actual future prices and costs may differ materially from those used in the present value estimate.

Approximately 78% of our net leasehold acreage is undeveloped, and that acreage may not ultimately be developed or become commercially productive, which could cause us to lose rights under our leases as well as have a material adverse effect on our oil and natural gas reserves and future production and, therefore, our future cash flow and income.

As of December 31, 2013, approximately 78% of our net leasehold acreage was undeveloped, or acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and natural gas regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves. Unless production

 

28


Table of Contents

is established on the undeveloped acreage covered by our leases, such leases will expire. Our future oil and natural gas reserves and production and, therefore, our future cash flow and income are highly dependent on successfully developing our undeveloped leasehold acreage.

Our producing properties are located in the Permian Basin of West Texas, making us vulnerable to risks associated with operating in one major geographic area.

All of our producing properties are geographically concentrated in the Permian Basin of West Texas. At December 31, 2013, all of our total estimated proved reserves were attributable to properties located in this area. As a result of this concentration, we may be disproportionately exposed to the impact of regional supply and demand factors, delays or interruptions of production from wells in this area caused by governmental regulation, processing or transportation capacity constraints, market limitations, water shortages or other drought or extreme weather related conditions or interruption of the processing or transportation of oil, natural gas or NGLs.

The marketability of our production is dependent upon transportation and other facilities, certain of which we do not control. If these facilities are unavailable, our operations could be interrupted and our revenues reduced.

The marketing of oil, NGLs and gas production depends in large part on the availability, proximity and capacity of pipelines and storage facilities, gas gathering systems and other transportation, processing and refining facilities, as well as the existence of adequate markets. If there is insufficient capacity available on these systems, or if these systems are unavailable to us, the price offered for our production could be significantly depressed, or we could be forced to shut in some production or delay or discontinue drilling plans and commercial production following a discovery of hydrocarbons while we construct our own facility. We also rely (and expect to rely in the future) on facilities developed and owned by third parties in order to store, process, transport and sell our oil, NGLs and gas production. Our plans to develop and sell our oil and gas reserves could be materially and adversely affected by the inability or unwillingness of third parties to provide sufficient transportation, storage or processing facilities to us, especially in areas of planned expansion where such facilities do not currently exist.

Extreme weather conditions could adversely affect our ability to conduct drilling activities in the areas where we operate.

Our exploration, exploitation and development activities and equipment could be adversely affected by extreme weather conditions, such as winter storms, which may cause a loss of production from temporary cessation of activity or lost or damaged facilities and equipment. For example, recent severe winter weather and the resulting extensive power outages caused our production in November to decline significantly from the prior month. Such extreme weather conditions could also impact other areas of our operations, including access to our drilling and production facilities for routine operations, maintenance and repairs and the availability of, and our access to, necessary third-party services, such as gathering, processing, compression and transportation services. These constraints and the resulting shortages or high costs could delay or temporarily halt our operations and materially increase our operation and capital costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may incur losses as a result of title defects in the properties in which we invest.

It is our practice in acquiring oil and natural gas leases or interests not to incur the expense of retaining lawyers to examine the title to the mineral interest at the time of acquisition. Rather, we rely upon the judgment of lease brokers or landmen who perform the fieldwork in examining records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to acquire a lease in a specific mineral interest. The existence of a material title deficiency can render a lease worthless and can adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. While we do typically obtain title opinions prior to commencing drilling operations on a lease or in a unit, the failure of title may not be discovered until after a well is drilled, in which case we may lose the lease and the right to produce all or a portion of the minerals under the property.

The development of our estimated proved undeveloped reserves may take longer and may require higher levels of capital expenditures than we currently anticipate. Therefore, our estimated proved undeveloped reserves may not be ultimately developed or produced.

At December 31, 2013, 57% of our total estimated proved reserves were classified as proved undeveloped. Our approximately 31.3 MMBoe of estimated proved undeveloped reserves will require an estimated $492 million of development capital over the next five years. Development of these undeveloped reserves may take longer and require higher levels of capital expenditures than we currently anticipate. Delays in the development of our reserves, increases in costs to drill and develop such reserves, or decreases in commodity prices will reduce the PV-10 value of our estimated proved undeveloped reserves and future net revenues estimated for such reserves and may result in some projects becoming uneconomic. In addition, delays in the development of reserves could cause us to have to reclassify our proved undeveloped reserves as unproved reserves.

SEC rules could limit our ability to book additional proved undeveloped reserves (PUDs) in the future.

SEC rules require that, subject to limited exceptions, proved undeveloped reserves may only be booked if they related to wells scheduled to be drilled within five years after the date of booking. This requirement has limited and may continue to limit our ability to book additional proved undeveloped reserves as we pursue our drilling program. Moreover, we may be required to write down our proved undeveloped reserves if we do not drill those wells within the required five-year timeframe.

If commodity prices decrease to a level such that our future undiscounted cash flows from our properties are less than their carrying value for a significant period of time, we will be required to take write-downs of the carrying values of our properties.

Accounting rules require that we periodically review the carrying value of our properties for possible impairment. Based on specific market factors and circumstances at the time of prospective impairment reviews, and the continuing evaluation of development plans, production data, economics and other factors, we may be required to write down the carrying value of our properties. A writedown constitutes a non-cash charge to earnings. We may incur impairment charges in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the periods in which such charges are taken.

Unless we replace our reserves with new reserves and develop those reserves, our reserves and production will decline, which would adversely affect our future cash flows and results of operations.

Producing oil and natural gas reservoirs generally are characterized by declining production rates that vary depending upon reservoir characteristics and other factors. Unless we conduct successful ongoing exploitation, development and exploration activities or continually acquire properties containing proved reserves, our proved reserves will decline as those reserves are produced. Our future reserves and production, and therefore our future cash flow and results of operations, are highly dependent on our success in efficiently developing and exploiting our current reserves and economically finding or acquiring additional recoverable reserves. We may not be able to develop, exploit, find or acquire sufficient additional reserves to replace our current and future production. If we are unable to replace our current and future production, the value of our reserves will decrease, and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Conservation measures and technological advances could reduce demand for oil and natural gas.

Fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to oil and natural gas, technological advances in fuel economy and energy generation devices could reduce demand for oil and natural gas. The impact of the changing demand for oil and gas services and products may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We depend upon several significant purchasers for the sale of most of our oil and natural gas production. The loss of one or more of these purchasers could, among other factors, limit our access to suitable markets for the oil and natural gas we produce.

The availability of a ready market for any oil and/or natural gas we produce depends on numerous factors beyond the control of our management, including but not limited to the extent of domestic production and imports of oil, the proximity and capacity of pipelines, the availability of skilled labor, materials and equipment, the effect of state and federal regulation of oil and natural gas production and federal regulation of oil and gas sold in interstate commerce. In addition, we depend upon several significant purchasers for the sale of most of our oil and natural gas production. See “Business—Operations—Marketing and Customers.” We cannot assure you that we will continue to have ready access to suitable markets for our future oil and natural gas production.

We may incur substantial losses and be subject to substantial liability claims as a result of our operations. Additionally, we may not be insured for, or our insurance may be inadequate to protect us against, these risks.

We are not insured against all risks. Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured and underinsured events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our exploration and production activities are subject to all of the operating risks associated with drilling for and producing oil and natural gas. Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations or result in substantial loss to us as a result of claims for:

 

   

injury or loss of life;

 

   

damage to and destruction of property, natural resources and equipment;

 

   

pollution and other environmental damage;

 

   

regulatory investigations and penalties;

 

   

suspension of our operations; and

 

   

repair and remediation costs.

We may elect not to obtain insurance for any or all of these risks if we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Properties that we decide to drill may not yield oil or natural gas in commercially viable quantities.

Properties that we decide to drill that do not yield oil or natural gas in commercially viable quantities will adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. There is no way to predict in advance of drilling and testing whether any particular prospect will yield oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. The use of micro-seismic data and other technologies and the study of producing fields in the same area will not enable us to know conclusively prior to drilling whether oil or natural gas will be present or, if present, whether oil or natural gas will be present in commercial quantities. We cannot assure you that the analogies we draw from available data from other wells, more fully explored prospects or producing fields will be applicable to our drilling prospects. Further, our drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of numerous factors, including:

 

   

unexpected drilling conditions;

 

   

title problems;

 

   

pressure or lost circulation in formations;

 

   

equipment failure or accidents;

 

31


Table of Contents
   

adverse weather conditions;

 

   

compliance with environmental and other governmental or contractual requirements; and

 

   

increase in the cost of, shortages or delays in the availability of, electricity, supplies, materials, drilling or workover rigs, equipment and services.

We may be unable to make attractive acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired businesses, and any inability to do so may disrupt our business and hinder our ability to grow.

In the future we may make acquisitions of producing properties or businesses that complement or expand our current business. The successful acquisition of producing properties requires an assessment of several factors, including:

 

   

recoverable reserves;

 

   

future oil and natural gas prices and their applicable differentials;

 

   

operating costs; and

 

   

potential environmental and other liabilities.

The accuracy of these assessments is inherently uncertain and we may not be able to identify attractive acquisition opportunities. In connection with these assessments, we perform a review of the subject properties that we believe to be generally consistent with industry practices. Our review will not reveal all existing or potential problems nor will it permit us to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to assess fully their deficiencies and capabilities. Inspections may not always be performed on every well, and environmental problems, such as groundwater contamination, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken. Even when problems are identified, the seller may be unwilling or unable to provide effective contractual protection against all or part of the problems. We often are not entitled to contractual indemnification for environmental liabilities and acquire properties on an “as is” basis. Even if we do identify attractive acquisition opportunities, we may not be able to complete the acquisition or do so on commercially acceptable terms.

The success of any completed acquisition will depend on our ability to integrate effectively the acquired business into our existing operations. The process of integrating acquired businesses may involve unforeseen difficulties and may require a disproportionate amount of our managerial and financial resources. In addition, possible future acquisitions may be larger and for purchase prices significantly higher than those paid for earlier acquisitions. No assurance can be given that we will be able to identify additional suitable acquisition opportunities, negotiate acceptable terms, obtain financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms or successfully acquire identified targets. Our failure to achieve consolidation savings, to integrate the acquired businesses and assets into our existing operations successfully or to minimize any unforeseen operational difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes impose certain limitations on our ability to enter into mergers or combination transactions. Our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes also limit our ability to incur certain indebtedness, which could indirectly limit our ability to engage in acquisitions.

We are subject to complex U.S. federal, state, local and other laws and regulations related to environmental, health, and safety issues that could adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of conducting our operations or expose us to significant liabilities.

Our oil and natural gas exploration and production operations are subject to complex and stringent laws and regulations. In order to conduct our operations in compliance with these laws and regulations, we must obtain and maintain numerous permits, approvals and certificates from various federal, state and local governmental authorities. We may incur substantial costs in order to maintain compliance with these existing laws and regulations.

In addition, the trend in environmental regulation is to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may affect the environment and thus, our costs of compliance may increase if existing laws and regulations are revised or reinterpreted, or if new laws and regulations become applicable to our operations. Failure to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our operations, including any evolving interpretation and enforcement by governmental authorities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our operations are also subject to stringent and complex federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment, health and safety aspects of our operations, or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may impose numerous obligations applicable to our operations including the acquisition of a permit before conducting regulated drilling activities; the restriction of types, quantities and concentration of materials that can be released into the environment; the limitation or prohibition of drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas; the application of specific health and safety criteria addressing worker protection; and the imposition of substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations. Numerous governmental authorities, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and analogous state agencies have the power to enforce compliance with these laws and regulations and the permits issued under them. Such enforcement actions often involve taking difficult and costly compliance measures or corrective actions. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of sanctions, including administrative, civil or criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory or remedial obligations, and the issuance of orders limiting or prohibiting some or all of our operations. In addition, we may experience delays in obtaining or be unable to obtain required permits, which may delay or interrupt our operations and limit our growth and revenue.

Certain environmental laws impose strict as well as joint and several liability for costs required to remediate and restore sites where hazardous substances, hydrocarbons, or solid wastes have been stored or released. We may be required to remediate contaminated properties currently or formerly operated by us or facilities of third parties that received waste generated by our operations regardless of whether such contamination resulted from the conduct of others or from consequences of our own actions that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time those actions were taken. In addition, claims for damages to persons or property, including natural resources, may result from the environmental, health and safety impacts of our operations. Moreover, public interest in the protection of the environment has increased dramatically in recent years. The trend of more expansive and stringent environmental legislation and regulations applied to the crude oil and natural gas industry could continue, resulting in increased costs of doing business and consequently affecting profitability. To the extent laws are enacted or other governmental action is taken that restricts drilling or imposes more stringent and costly operating, waste handling, disposal and cleanup requirements, our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. See “Business—Regulation of the Oil and Natural Gas Industry” for a further description of the laws and regulations that affect us.

The unavailability or high cost of additional drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and oilfield services could adversely affect our ability to execute our exploration and development plans within our budget and on a timely basis.

The demand for qualified and experienced field personnel to drill wells and conduct field operations, geologists, geophysicists, engineers and other professionals in the oil and natural gas industry can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices, causing periodic shortages. Historically, there have been shortages of drilling and workover rigs, pipe and other equipment as demand for rigs and equipment has increased along with the number of wells being drilled. We cannot predict whether these conditions will exist in the future and, if so, what their timing and duration will be. Such shortages could delay or cause us to incur significant expenditures that are not provided for in our capital budget, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Should we fail to comply with all applicable regulatory agency administered statutes, rules, regulations and orders, we could be subject to substantial penalties and fines.

Under the Domenici-Barton Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Federal Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) has civil penalty authority under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (the “NGA”) to impose penalties for current violations of up to $1 million per day for each violation and disgorgement of profits associated with any violation. While our operations have not been regulated by FERC as a natural gas company under the NGA, FERC has adopted regulations that may subject certain of our otherwise non-FERC jurisdictional facilities to FERC annual reporting requirements. We also must comply with the anti-market manipulation rules enforced by FERC. Additional rules and legislation pertaining to those and other matters may be considered or adopted by FERC from time to time. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission has regulations intended to prohibit market manipulation in the petroleum industry with authority to fine violators of the regulations civil penalties of up to $1 million per day. Failure to comply with those regulations in the future could subject us to civil penalty liability, as described in “Business—Regulation of the Oil and Natural Gas Industry.”

Climate change laws and regulations restricting emissions of “greenhouse gases” could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil and natural gas that we produce while potential physical effects of climate change could disrupt our production and cause us to incur significant costs in preparing for or responding to those effects.

In response to findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases (“GHGs”) present an endangerment to public health and the environment, the EPA has adopted regulations under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act that, among other things, establish Prevention of Significant Deterioration (“PSD”), construction and Title V operating permit reviews for certain large stationary sources that are potential major sources of GHG emissions. As part of these efforts, the EPA issued a final rule (the “Tailoring Rule”), effective January 1, 2011, that established emissions thresholds such that only these large stationary sources are subject to GHG permitting. On July 12, 2012, the EPA issued a final rule that retained the previously established thresholds, but those thresholds could be adjusted downward in the future. Despite numerous legal challenges to the EPA’s authority to regulate GHGs, federal courts have affirmed that the EPA does have the authority to regulate GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act. Facilities required to obtain PSD permits for their GHG emissions also will be required to meet “best available control technology” standards that will be established by the states or, in some cases, by the EPA on a case-by-case basis. These EPA rulemakings could adversely affect our operations and restrict or delay our ability to obtain air permits for new or modified sources. In addition, the EPA has adopted rules requiring the monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions from specified onshore and offshore oil and gas production sources in the United States on an annual basis, which include certain of our operations.

In addition, in August 2012, the EPA established new source performance standards (“NSPS”) for volatile organic compounds and sulfur dioxide and an air toxic standard for oil and natural gas production, transmission, and storage. The rules include the first federal air standards for natural gas wells that are hydraulically fractured, or refractured, as well as requirements for several other sources, such as storage tanks and other equipment, and limits methane emissions from these sources in an effort to reduce GHG emissions. These requirements could adversely affect our operations by requiring us to make significant expenditures to ensure compliance with the NSPS.

While Congress has from time to time considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs, there has not been significant activity in the form of adopted legislation to reduce GHG emissions at the federal level in recent years. In the absence of such federal climate legislation, a number of state and regional efforts have emerged that are aimed at tracking and/or reducing GHG emissions by means of cap and trade programs that typically require major sources of GHG emissions, such as electric power plants, to acquire and surrender emission allowances in return for emitting those GHGs. If Congress were to undertake comprehensive tax reform in the coming year, it is possible that such reform may include a carbon tax, which could impose additional direct costs on operations and reduce demand for refined products. In any event, the Obama administration recently announced its Climate Action Plan, which, among other things, directs federal agencies to develop a strategy for the reduction of methane emissions, including emissions from the oil and gas industry. As part of the Climate Action Plan, the Obama Administration

Table of Contents

also announced that it intends to adopt additional regulations to reduce emissions of GHGs and to encourage greater use of low carbon technologies in the coming years. For example, in September 2013, the EPA re-issued proposed NSPS for GHG emissions from Electric Utility Generating Units. Although it is not possible at this time to predict how legislation or new regulations that may be adopted to address GHG emissions would impact our business, any such future laws and regulations imposing reporting obligations on, or limiting emissions of GHGs from, our equipment and operations could require us to incur costs to reduce emissions of GHGs associated with our operations. In addition, substantial limitations on GHG emissions could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas we produce. Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other climatic events; if any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our exploration and production operations.

Federal, state and local legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing as well as governmental reviews of such activities could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays in the completion of oil and natural gas wells and adversely affect our production.

Hydraulic fracturing is an essential and common practice in the oil and gas industry used to stimulate production of natural gas and/or oil from dense subsurface rock formations. Hydraulic fracturing involves using water, sand, and certain chemicals to fracture the hydrocarbon-bearing rock formation to allow flow of hydrocarbons into the wellbore. We routinely apply hydraulic fracturing techniques in our drilling and completion programs. While hydraulic fracturing has historically been regulated by state oil and natural gas commissions, the practice has become increasingly controversial in certain parts of the country, resulting in increased scrutiny and regulation. For example, the EPA has asserted federal regulatory authority over certain hydraulic-fracturing activities under the Safe Drinking Water Act (“SDWA”) involving the use of diesel fuels and issued revised permitting guidance in February 2014 addressing the use of diesel in fracturing operations. Also, in November 2011, the EPA announced its intent to develop and issue regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act to require companies to disclose information regarding the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing and the agency currently plans to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would seek public input on the design and scope of such disclosure regulations. To date, the EPA has not issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, therefore, it is unclear how any federal disclosure requirements that add to any applicable state disclosure requirements may affect our operations. In addition, Congress has from time to time considered legislation to amend the SDWA, including legislation that would repeal the exemption for hydraulic fracturing from the definition of “underground injection” and require federal permitting and regulatory control of hydraulic fracturing, as well as legislative proposals to require disclosure of the chemical constituents of the fluids used in the fracturing process. Also, in the near future we may be subject to regulations that restrict our ability to discharge water produced as part of our production operations, and the ability to use injection wells as a disposal option not only will depend on federal or state regulations but also on whether available injection wells have sufficient storage capacities. The EPA is currently developing effluent limitation guidelines that may impose federal pre-treatment standards on all oil and gas operators transporting wastewater associated with hydraulic fracturing activities to publicly owned treatment works for disposal. The EPA plans to propose such standards by 2014. In addition, on May 24, 2013, the federal Bureau of Land Management published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking governing hydraulic fracturing on federal and Native American lands that replaces a prior draft of proposed rulemaking issued by the agency in May 2012. The revised proposed rule would continue to require public disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing on federal and Native American lands, confirmation that wells used in fracturing operations meet appropriate construction standards, and development of appropriate plans for managing flowback water that returns to the surface.

Further, on April 17, 2012, the EPA released final rules that subject all oil and gas operations (production, processing, transmission, storage and distribution) to regulation under the NSPS and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (“NESHAPS”) programs. These rules became effective on October 15, 2012. The rules include NSPS standards for completions of hydraulically-fractured gas wells. The standards include the reduced emission completion techniques, or “green completions,” developed in the EPA’s Natural Gas STAR

program along with pit flaring of gas not sent to the gathering line. “Green completions” for hydraulic fracturing will require the operator to recover rather than vent the gas and NGLs that come to the surface during completion of the fracturing process. The standards will be applicable to newly drilled and fractured wells and wells that are refractured on or after January 1, 2015. Further, the rules under NESHAPS include Maximum Achievable Control Technology (“MACT”) standards for glycol dehydrators and storage vessels at major sources of hazardous air pollutants not currently subject to MACT standards. In April 2013 EPA issued a proposed revision as a result of legal challenges to the original rule which may impact the scope of these rules. The rule is designed to limit emissions of volatile organic compounds (“VOC”), sulfur dioxide, and hazardous air pollutants from a variety of sources within natural gas processing plants, oil and natural gas production facilities, and natural gas transmission compressor stations. This rule could require a number of modifications to our operations including the installation of new equipment. Compliance with such rules could result in significant costs, including increased capital expenditures and operating costs, and could adversely impact our business. Additionally, on December 11, 2012, seven states submitted a notice of intent to sue the EPA to compel the agency to make a determination as to whether standards or performance limiting methane emissions from oil and gas sources is appropriate and if so, to promulgate performance standards for methane emissions from existing oil and gas sources.

At the state level, several states have adopted or are considering legal requirements that could impose more stringent permitting, disclosure, and well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing activities. For example in May 2013, the Texas Railroad Commission adopted new rules governing well casing, cementing and other standards for ensuring that hydraulic fracturing operations do not contaminate nearby water resources. Local government also may seek to adopt ordinances within their jurisdictions regulating the time, place and manner of drilling activities in general or hydraulic fracturing activities in particular or prohibit the performance of well drilling in general or hydraulic fracturing in particular. We believe that we follow applicable standard industry practices and legal requirements for groundwater protection in our hydraulic fracturing activities. Nonetheless, if new or more stringent federal, state, or local legal restrictions relating to the hydraulic fracturing process are adopted in areas where we operate, we could incur potentially significant added costs to comply with such requirements, experience delays or curtailment in the pursuit of exploration, development, or production activities, and perhaps even be precluded from drilling wells.

Certain governmental reviews have been conducted or are underway that focus on environmental aspects of hydraulic fracturing practices, which could lead to increased regulation. For example, the White House Council on Environmental Quality is coordinating an administration-wide review of hydraulic fracturing practices. The EPA has also commenced a study of the potential environmental effects of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water and groundwater, with a first progress report outlining work currently underway by the agency released on December 21, 2012, and a final report drawing conclusions about the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources expected to be available for public comment and peer review by late 2014. Other governmental agencies, including the U.S. Department of Energy, have evaluated or are evaluating various other aspects of hydraulic fracturing. These ongoing or proposed studies could spur initiatives to further regulate hydraulic fracturing under the SDWA or other regulatory mechanisms, and could ultimately make it more difficult or costly for us to perform fracturing and increase our costs of compliance and doing business.

Further regulation of hydraulic fracturing at the federal, state, and local level could subject our operations to additional permitting requirements and result in permitting delays as well as potential increases in costs. Restrictions on hydraulic fracturing could also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we are ultimately able to produce from our reserves. Please read “Business—Regulation of the Oil and Natural Gas Industry” for a further description of the laws and regulations that affect us.

Competition in the oil and natural gas industry is intense, making it more difficult for us to acquire properties and market oil or natural gas.

Our ability to acquire additional prospects and to find and develop reserves in the future will depend on our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment for acquiring properties, marketing oil and natural gas and securing trained personnel. Also, there is

 

36


Table of Contents

substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and natural gas industry. We may not be able to compete successfully in the future in acquiring prospective reserves, developing reserves, marketing hydrocarbons, and raising additional capital, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We operate in areas of high industry activity, which may affect our ability to hire, train or retain qualified personnel needed to manage and operate our assets.

Our operations and drilling activity are concentrated in the Permian Basin of West Texas, an area in which industry activity has increased rapidly. As a result, demand for qualified personnel in this area, and the cost to attract and retain such personnel, has increased over the past few years due to competition and may increase substantially in the future. Moreover, our competitors may be able to offer better compensation packages to attract and retain qualified personnel than we are able to offer.

Any delay or inability to secure the personnel necessary for us to continue or complete our current and planned development activities could result in oil and gas production volumes being below our forecasted volumes. In addition, any such negative effect on production volumes, or significant increases in costs, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Declining general economic, business or industry conditions may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Concerns over global economic conditions, energy costs, geopolitical issues, inflation, the availability and cost of credit and the United States financial market have contributed to increased economic uncertainty and diminished expectations for the global economy. In addition, continued hostilities in the Middle East and the occurrence or threat of terrorist attacks in the United States or other countries could adversely affect the global economy. These factors, combined with volatile commodity prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have precipitated an economic slowdown and a recession. Concerns about global economic growth have had a significant adverse impact on global financial markets and commodity prices. If the economic climate in the United States or abroad deteriorates, worldwide demand for petroleum products could diminish, which could impact the price at which we can sell our production, affect the ability of our vendors, suppliers and customers to continue operations and ultimately adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

The loss of senior management or technical personnel could adversely affect operations.

We depend on the services of our senior management and technical personnel. With the exception of Bryan Sheffield, our President and Chief Executive Officer, we do not maintain, nor do we plan to obtain, any insurance against the loss of any of these individuals. The loss of the services of our senior management or technical personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, in the event that Mr. Sheffield no longer controls the entity that is the sub-operator of the 98 legacy wells we assumed from Parker and Parsley, the sub-operating agreement governing the terms of our arrangement could terminate and we would no longer be the operator of record on these wells. If the sub-operating agreement were to terminate, we would be unable to dictate the pace of development and manage the cost, type, and timing of the drilling program on these identified drilling locations, which could impact our ability to recognize the proved undeveloped reserves associated with these properties.

We are susceptible to the potential difficulties associated with rapid growth and expansion and have a limited operating history.

We have grown rapidly over the last several years. Our management believes that our future success depends on our ability to manage the rapid growth that we have experienced and the demands from increased responsibility on management personnel. The following factors could present difficulties:

 

   

increased responsibilities for our executive level personnel;

 

   

increased administrative burden;

 

37


Table of Contents
   

increased capital requirements; and

 

   

increased organizational challenges common to large, expansive operations.

Our operating results could be adversely affected if we do not successfully manage these potential difficulties. The historical financial information incorporated herein is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be realized in the future. In addition, our operating history is limited and the results from our current producing wells are not necessarily indicative of success from our future drilling operations.

Part of our strategy involves drilling in existing or emerging shale plays using the latest available horizontal drilling and completion techniques, which involve risks and uncertainties in their application.

Our operations involve utilizing the latest drilling and completion techniques as developed by us and our service providers. While horizontal drilling is a significant part of our growth strategy, we have only spud four horizontal wells to date and therefore are subject to increased risks associated with horizontal drilling as compared to companies that have greater experience in horizontal drilling activities. Risks that we face while drilling include, but are not limited to, failing to land our wellbore in the desired drilling zone, not staying in the desired drilling zone while drilling horizontally through the formation, not running our casing the entire length of the wellbore and not being able to run tools and other equipment consistently through the horizontal wellbore. Risks that we face while completing our wells include, but are not limited to, not being able to fracture stimulate the planned number of stages, not being able to run tools the entire length of the wellbore during completion operations and not successfully cleaning out the wellbore after completion of the final fracture stimulation stage. In addition, to the extent we engage in horizontal drilling, those activities may adversely affect our ability to successfully drill in one or more of our identified vertical drilling locations. Ultimately, the success of these drilling and completion techniques can only be evaluated over time as more wells are drilled and production profiles are established over a sufficiently long time period. If our drilling results are less than anticipated or we are unable to execute our drilling program because of capital constraints, lease expirations, access to gathering systems and/or commodity prices decline, the return on our investment in these areas may not be as attractive as we anticipate. Further, as a result of any of these developments we could incur material write-downs of our oil and natural gas properties and the value of our undeveloped acreage could decline in the future.

Increases in interest rates could adversely affect our business.

Our business and operating results can be harmed by factors such as the availability, terms and cost of capital, increases in interest rates or a reduction in credit rating. These changes could cause our cost of doing business to increase, limit our ability to pursue acquisition opportunities, reduce cash flow used for drilling and place us at a competitive disadvantage. Potential disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets may lead to a contraction in credit availability impacting our ability to finance our operations. We require continued access to capital. A significant reduction in cash flows from operations or the availability of credit could materially and adversely affect our ability to achieve our planned growth and operating results.

Certain federal income tax deductions currently available with respect to oil and natural gas exploration and development may be eliminated, and additional state taxes on oil and natural gas extraction may be imposed, as a result of future legislation.

The Fiscal Year 2015 Budget proposed by the President recommends the elimination of certain key U.S. federal income tax incentives currently available to oil and gas exploration and production companies, and legislation has been introduced in Congress that would implement many of these proposals. Such changes include, but are not limited to, (i) the repeal of the percentage depletion allowance for oil and gas properties; (ii) the elimination of current deductions for intangible drilling and development costs; (iii) the elimination of the deduction for certain U.S. production activities for oil and gas production; and (iv) an extension of the amortization period for certain geological and geophysical expenditures. It is unclear, however, whether any such changes will be enacted or how soon such changes could be effective.

 

38


Table of Contents

The passage of this legislation or any other similar change in U.S. federal income tax law could eliminate or postpone certain tax deductions that are currently available with respect to oil and natural gas exploration and development, and any such change could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our use of 2-D and 3-D seismic data is subject to interpretation and may not accurately identify the presence of oil and natural gas, which could adversely affect the results of our drilling operations.

Even when properly used and interpreted, 2-D and 3-D seismic data and visualization techniques are only tools used to assist geoscientists in identifying subsurface structures and hydrocarbon indicators and do not enable the interpreter to know whether hydrocarbons are, in fact, present in those structures. In addition, the use of 3-D seismic and other advanced technologies requires greater predrilling expenditures than traditional drilling strategies, and we could incur losses as a result of such expenditures. As a result, our drilling activities may not be successful or economical.

Our operations are substantially dependent on the availability of water. Restrictions on our ability to obtain water may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Water is an essential component of deep shale oil and natural gas production during both the drilling and hydraulic fracturing processes. Historically, we have been able to purchase water from local land owners for use in our operations. According to the Lower Colorado River Authority, during 2011, Texas experienced the lowest inflows of water of any year in recorded history. These drought conditions have led governmental authorities to restrict the use of water subject to their jurisdiction for hydraulic fracturing to protect local water supplies. If we are unable to obtain water to use in our operations from local sources, we may be unable to produce oil and natural gas economically, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Restrictions on drilling activities intended to protect certain species of wildlife may adversely affect our ability to conduct drilling activities areas where we operate.

Oil and natural gas operations in our operating areas may be adversely affected by seasonal or permanent restrictions on drilling activities designed to protect various wildlife. Seasonal restrictions may limit our ability to operate in protected areas and can intensify competition for drilling rigs, oilfield equipment, services, supplies and qualified personnel, which may lead to periodic shortages when drilling is allowed. These constraints and the resulting shortages or high costs could delay our operations or materially increase our operating and capital costs. Permanent restrictions imposed to protect endangered species could prohibit drilling in certain areas or require the implementation of expensive mitigation measures. The designation of previously unprotected species in areas where we operate as threatened or endangered could cause us to incur increased costs arising from species protection measures or could result in limitations on our exploration and production activities that could have a material adverse impact on our ability to develop and produce our reserves.

The enactment of derivatives legislation could have an adverse effect on our ability to use derivative instruments to reduce the effect of commodity price, interest rate and other risks associated with our business.

The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted on July 21, 2010, established federal oversight and regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market and of entities, such as us, that participate in that market. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and the SEC to promulgate rules and regulations implementing the Dodd-Frank Act. In its rulemaking under the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFTC has issued final regulations to set position limits for certain futures and option contracts in the major energy markets and for swaps that are their economic equivalents. Certain bona fide derivative transactions would be exempt from these position limits. The position limits rule was vacated by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in September of 2012 although the CFTC has stated that it will appeal the District Court’s decision. The CFTC also has finalized other regulations, including critical rulemakings on the definition of “swap,” “security-based swap,” “swap dealer” and “major swap participant.” The Dodd-Frank Act and CFTC rules also will require us, in connection with certain derivatives activities, to comply with clearing and trade-execution requirements (or to take

 

39


Table of Contents

steps to qualify for an exemption to such requirements). In addition, new regulations may require us to comply with margin requirements although these regulations are not finalized and their application to us is uncertain at this time. Other regulations also remain to be finalized, and the CFTC recently has delayed the compliance dates for various regulations already finalized. As a result, it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the full effects of the Dodd-Frank Act and CFTC rules on us or the timing of such effects. The Dodd-Frank Act also may require the counterparties to our derivative instruments to spin off some of their derivatives activities to a separate entity, which may not be as creditworthy as the current counterparty. The Dodd-Frank Act and any new regulations could significantly increase the cost of derivative contracts (including through requirements to post collateral, which could adversely affect our available liquidity), materially alter the terms of derivative contracts, reduce the availability of derivatives to protect against risks we encounter, reduce our ability to monetize or restructure our existing derivative contracts, and increase our exposure to less creditworthy counterparties. If we reduce our use of derivatives as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act and CFTC rules, our results of operations may become more volatile and our cash flows may be less predictable, which could adversely affect our ability to plan for and fund capital expenditures. Finally, the Dodd-Frank Act was intended, in part, to reduce the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, which some legislators attributed to speculative trading in derivatives and commodity instruments related to oil and natural gas. Our revenues could therefore be adversely affected if a consequence of the Dodd-Frank Act and CFTC rules is to lower commodity prices. Any of these consequences could have a material and adverse effect on us, our financial condition or our results of operations.

We may not be able to keep pace with technological developments in our industry.

The oil and natural gas industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological advancements and introductions of new products and services using new technologies. As others use or develop new technologies, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage or may be forced by competitive pressures to implement those new technologies at substantial costs. In addition, other oil and natural gas companies may have greater financial, technical and personnel resources that allow them to enjoy technological advantages and that may in the future allow them to implement new technologies before we can. We may not be able to respond to these competitive pressures or implement new technologies on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. If one or more of the technologies we use now or in the future were to become obsolete, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Loss of our information and computer systems could adversely affect our business.

We are heavily dependent on our information systems and computer based programs, including our well operations information, seismic data, electronic data processing and accounting data. If any of such programs or systems were to fail or create erroneous information in our hardware or software network infrastructure, possible consequences include our loss of communication links, inability to find, produce, process and sell oil and natural gas and inability to automatically process commercial transactions or engage in similar automated or computerized business activities. Any such consequence could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The corporate opportunity provisions in our certificate of incorporation could enable NGP to benefit from corporate opportunities that might otherwise be available to us.

Subject to the limitations of applicable law, our certificate of incorporation, among other things:

 

   

permits us to enter into transactions with entities in which one or more of our officers or directors are financially or otherwise interested;

 

   

permits any of our shareholders, officers or directors to conduct business that competes with us and to make investments in any kind of property in which we may make investments; and

 

   

provides that if any director or officer of one of our affiliates who is also one of our officers or directors becomes aware of a potential business opportunity, transaction or other matter (other than one expressly offered to that director or officer in writing solely in his or her capacity as our director or officer), that director or officer will have no duty to communicate or offer that opportunity to us, and will be permitted

 

40


Table of Contents
 

to communicate or offer that opportunity to such affiliates and that director or officer will not be deemed to have (1) acted in a manner inconsistent with his or her fiduciary or other duties to us regarding the opportunity or (2) acted in bad faith or in a manner inconsistent with our best interests.

As a result, NGP or their affiliates may become aware, from time to time, of certain business opportunities, such as acquisition opportunities, and may direct such opportunities to other businesses in which they have invested, in which case we may not become aware of or otherwise have the ability to pursue such opportunity. Further, such businesses may choose to compete with us for these opportunities. As a result, our renouncing our interest and expectancy in any business opportunity that may be from time to time presented to NGP and their affiliates could adversely impact our business or prospects if attractive business opportunities are procured by such parties for their own benefit rather than for ours. Please read “Description of Capital Stock.”

If we are unable to comply with the restrictions and covenants in our revolving credit facility, there could be an event of default under the terms of our revolving credit facility, which could results in an acceleration of repayment.

If we are unable to comply with the restrictions and covenants in our revolving credit facility, there could be an event of default under the terms of this facility. Our ability to comply with these restrictions and covenants, including meeting the financial ratios and tests under our revolving credit facility, may be affected by events beyond our control. As a result, we cannot assure that we will be able to comply with these restrictions and covenants or meet such financial ratios and tests. In the event of a default under our revolving credit facility, the lenders could terminate their commitments to lend or accelerate the loans and declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. If any of these events occur, our assets might not be sufficient to repay in full all of our outstanding indebtedness and we may be unable to find alternative financing. Even if we could obtain alternative financing, it might not be on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us. Additionally, we may not be able to amend our revolving credit facility or obtain needed waivers on satisfactory terms.

In April 2014, we determined that as of December 31, 2013, we were not in compliance with the quarterly current ratio requirement under our credit facility, which resulted in an event of default under that agreement. On April 11, 2014, we received a waiver of this event of default and are currently in compliance with the current ratio requirement. We cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to obtain waivers for any future or continuing failures to meet financial covenants or that our lenders will not seek to exercise any remedies or accelerate the repayment of our debt as a result of such failures.

Risks Related to the Offering and our Class A Common Stock

We are a holding company. Our sole material asset after completion of this offering will be our equity interest in Parsley LLC and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from Parsley LLC to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and cover our corporate and other overhead expenses.

We are a holding company and will have no material assets other than our equity interest in Parsley LLC. Please see “Corporate Reorganization.” We have no independent means of generating revenue. To the extent Parsley LLC has available cash, we intend to cause Parsley LLC to make distributions to its unitholders, including us, in an amount sufficient to cover all applicable taxes at assumed tax rates and payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement we will enter into with Parsley LLC and the PE Unit Holders, and to reimburse us for our corporate and other overhead expenses. We are limited, however, in our ability to cause Parsley LLC and its subsidiaries to make these and other distributions to us due to the restrictions under our credit facilities. To the extent that we need funds and Parsley LLC or its subsidiaries are restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of their financing arrangements, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, it could materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.

The initial public offering price of our Class A common stock may not be indicative of the market price of our Class A common stock after this offering. In addition, an active, liquid and orderly trading market for our Class A common stock may not develop or be maintained, and our stock price may be volatile.

Prior to this offering, our Class A common stock was not traded on any market. An active, liquid and orderly trading market for our Class A common stock may not develop or be maintained after this offering. Active, liquid and orderly trading markets usually result in less price volatility and more efficiency in carrying out investors’ purchase and sale orders. The market price of our Class A common stock could vary significantly as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. In the event of a drop in the market price of our Class A common stock, you could lose a substantial part or all of your investment in our Class A common stock. The initial public offering price will be negotiated between us, the selling shareholders and representatives of the underwriters, based on numerous factors which we discuss in “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest),” and may not be indicative of the market price of our Class A common stock after this offering. Consequently, you may not be able to sell shares of our Class A common stock at prices equal to or greater than the price paid by you in this offering.

The following factors could affect our stock price:

 

   

our operating and financial performance and drilling locations, including reserve estimates;

 

   

quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as net income per share, net income and revenues;

 

   

the public reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;

 

   

strategic actions by our competitors;

 

   

changes in revenue or earnings estimates, or changes in recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage, by equity research analysts;

 

   

speculation in the press or investment community;

 

   

the failure of research analysts to cover our Class A common stock;

 

   

sales of our Class A common stock by us, the selling shareholders or other shareholders, or the perception that such sales may occur;

 

   

changes in accounting principles, policies, guidance, interpretations or standards;

 

   

additions or departures of key management personnel;

 

   

actions by our shareholders;

 

   

general market conditions, including fluctuations in commodity prices;

 

   

domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance; and

 

   

the realization of any risks describes under this “Risk Factors” section.

The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock. Securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the overall market and in the market price of a company’s securities. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in very substantial costs, divert our management’s attention and resources and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our principal shareholders will collectively hold a substantial majority of the voting power of our common stock.

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our shareholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law or our certificate of incorporation. Upon completion of this offering (assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares), the Existing Owners will own approximately 44.9% of our Class A common stock and 100% of our Class B common stock (representing 60.7% of our combined economic interest and voting power).

Table of Contents

Although the Existing Owners are entitled to act separately in their own respective interests with respect to their stock in us, the Existing Owners will together have the ability to elect all of the members of our board of directors, and thereby to control our management and affairs. In addition, they will be able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval, including mergers and other material transactions, and will be able to cause or prevent a change in the composition of our board of directors or a change in control of our company that could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their Class A common stock as part of a sale of our company. The existence of significant shareholders may also have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in the best interests of our company.

So long as the Existing Owners continue to control a significant amount of our common stock, each will continue to be able to strongly influence all matters requiring shareholder approval, regardless of whether or not other shareholders believe that a potential transaction is in their own best interests. In any of these matters, the interests of the Existing Owners may differ or conflict with the interests of our other shareholders. In addition, NGP and its affiliates may, from time to time, acquire interests in businesses that directly or indirectly compete with our business, as well as businesses that are significant existing or potential customers. NGP and its affiliates may acquire or seek to acquire assets that we seek to acquire and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us or may be more expensive for us to pursue. Moreover, this concentration of stock ownership may also adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock to the extent investors perceive a disadvantage in owning stock of a company with a controlling shareholder.

We have engaged in transactions with our affiliates and expect to do so in the future. The terms of such transactions and the resolution of any conflicts that may arise may not always be in our or our shareholders’ best interests.

We have engaged in transactions and expect to continue to engage in transactions with affiliated companies, as described under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as Delaware law, contain provisions that could discourage acquisition bids or merger proposals, which may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval. If our board of directors elects to issue preferred stock, it could be more difficult for a third party to acquire us. In addition, some provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if the change of control would be beneficial to our shareholders, including:

 

   

limitations on the removal of directors;

 

   

limitations on the ability of our shareholders to call special meetings;

 

   

establishing advance notice provisions for shareholder proposals and nominations for elections to the board of directors to be acted upon at meetings of shareholders;

 

   

providing that the board of directors is expressly authorized to adopt, or to alter or repeal our bylaws; and

 

   

establishing advance notice and certain information requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by shareholders at shareholder meetings.

In addition, certain change of control events have the effect of accelerating the payment due under our Tax Receivable Agreement, which could be substantial and accordingly serve as a disincentive to a potential acquirer of our company. Please see “—In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.”

Table of Contents

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee of ours arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee of ours that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case subject to such Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and consented to, the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation described in the preceding sentence. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and such persons. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $11.10 per share.

Based on an assumed initial public offering price of $16.50 per share (the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), purchasers of our Class A common stock in this offering will experience an immediate and substantial dilution of $11.10 per share in the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Class A common stock from the initial public offering price, and our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2014 after giving effect to this offering would be $5.40 per share. This dilution is due in large part to earlier investors having paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares. See “Dilution.”

We may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a return.

A portion of the net proceeds from this offering are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not increase our operating results or market value. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not produce significant income or that may lose value.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our Class A common stock, and our credit facilities place certain restrictions on our ability to do so. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our Class A common stock appreciates.

We do not plan to declare dividends on shares of our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. Additionally, our credit facilities place certain restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in us will be if you sell your Class A common stock at a price greater than you paid for it. There is no guarantee that the price of our Class A common stock that will prevail in the market will ever exceed the price that you pay in this offering.

Table of Contents

Future sales of our Class A common stock in the public market could reduce our stock price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible securities may dilute your ownership in us.

Subject to certain limitations and exceptions, the PE Unit Holders may exchange their PE Units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for shares of Class A common stock (on a one-for-one basis, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassification and other similar transactions) and then sell those shares of Class A common stock. Additionally, we may issue additional shares of Class A common stock or convertible securities in subsequent public offerings. After the completion of this offering, we will have 79,627,508 outstanding shares of Class A common stock and 32,086,042 outstanding shares of Class B common stock. This number includes 43,900,000 shares of Class A common stock that we and the selling shareholders are selling in this offering and the 6,585,000 shares of Class A common stock that we may sell in this offering if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is fully exercised, which may be resold immediately in the public market. Following the completion of this offering, the Existing Owners will own 35,727,508 shares of Class A common stock and 32,086,042 shares of Class B common stock, representing approximately 60.7% (or 57.3% if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full) of our total outstanding common stock. All such shares are restricted from immediate resale under the federal securities laws and are subject to the lock-up agreements between such parties and the underwriters described in “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest),” but may be sold into the market in the future. We expect that certain of the Existing Owners will be party to a registration rights agreement with us that will require us to effect the registration of their shares in certain circumstances no earlier than the expiration of the lock-up period contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with this offering. Employees will be subject to certain restrictions on the sale of their shares for 180 days after the date of this prospectus; however, after such period, and subject to compliance with the Securities Act or exemptions therefrom, these employees may sell such shares into the public market. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights Agreement.”

In connection with this offering, we intend to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-8 providing for the registration of 12,727,273 shares of our Class A common stock issued or reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plan. Subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions and the expiration of lock-up agreements, shares registered under the registration statement on Form S-8 will be available for resale immediately in the public market without restriction.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into Class A common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our Class A common stock will have on the market price of our Class A common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock (including shares issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Class A common stock.

The underwriters of this offering may waive or release parties to the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with this offering, which could adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.

Our directors and executive officers have entered into lock-up agreements with respect to their Class A common stock, pursuant to which they are subject to certain resale restrictions for a period of 180 days following the effectiveness date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Credit Suisse, at any time and without notice, may release all or any portion of the Class A common stock subject to the foregoing lock-up agreements. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, then Class A common stock will be available for sale into the public markets, which could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline and impair our ability to raise capital.

We will be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for certain tax benefits we may claim, and the amounts of such payments could be significant.

We will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders. This agreement generally provides for the payment by us to a TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local

 

45


Table of Contents

income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after this offering as a result of (i) any tax basis increases resulting from the contribution in connection with this offering by such TRA Holder of all or a portion of its PE Units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for shares of Class A common stock, (ii) the tax basis increases resulting from the exchange by such TRA Holder of PE Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Right (or resulting from an exchange of PE Units for cash pursuant to the Cash Option) and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be increased by any interest accrued from the due date (without extensions) of the corresponding tax return.

The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are our obligations and not obligations of Parsley LLC. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, cash savings in tax generally are calculated by comparing our actual tax liability to the amount we would have been required to pay had we not been able to utilize any of the tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will commence upon the completion of this offering and will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement by making the termination payment specified in the agreement.

The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of the exchanges of PE Units, the price of Class A common stock at the time of each exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future and the tax rate then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement constituting imputed interest or depletable, depreciable or amortizable basis. We expect that the payments that we will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement could be substantial.

The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not be conditioned upon a holder of rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement having a continued ownership interest in us. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement.”

In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

If we elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early or it is terminated early due to certain mergers or other changes of control we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, which calculation of anticipated future tax benefits will be based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including the assumption that we have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize such benefits and that any PE Units that the PE Unit Holders or their permitted transferees own on the termination date are deemed to be exchanged on the termination date. Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future benefits.

In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control due to the additional transaction cost a potential acquirer may attribute to satisfying such obligations. For example, if the Tax Receivable Agreement were terminated immediately after this offering, the estimated termination payment would be approximately $160.4 million (calculated using a discount rate equal to the LIBOR, plus 300 basis points, applied against an undiscounted liability of $233.4 million). The foregoing number is merely an estimate and the actual payment could differ materially. There can be no assurance that we will be able to finance our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that we will determine. The holders of rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not reimburse us for any payments

 

46


Table of Contents

previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if such basis increases or other benefits are subsequently disallowed, except that excess payments made to any such holder will be netted against payments otherwise to be made, if any, to such holder after our determination of such excess. As a result, in such circumstances, we could make payments that are greater than our actual cash tax savings, if any, and may not be able to recoup those payments, which could adversely affect our liquidity.

We may issue preferred stock whose terms could adversely affect the voting power or value of our Class A common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our shareholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over our Class A common stock respecting dividends and distributions, as our board of directors may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could adversely impact the voting power or value of our Class A common stock. For example, we might grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we might assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the Class A common stock.

If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our Class A common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports, prevent fraud and operate successfully as a public company. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed. We cannot be certain that our efforts to develop and maintain our internal controls will be successful, that we will be able to maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future or that we will be able to comply with our obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. We identified a significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the under-reporting of production volumes for the first quarter of 2014 as a result of certain calculation errors and the failure to record production from a discrete number of wells. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements as of March 31, 2014, included in this prospectus. Although we are taking steps to strengthen our accounting staff and internal controls and plan to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of this significant deficiency, including implementing an additional level of review of production volumes as reported in our financial statements by our Chief Operating Officer, we cannot at this time estimate how long it will take, and our initiatives may not prove to be successful in remediating this significant deficiency. Any failure to develop or maintain effective internal controls, or difficulties encountered in implementing or improving our internal controls, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class A common stock.

For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.

In April 2012, President Obama signed into law the JOBS Act. We are classified as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years, unlike other public companies, we will not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, (iii) provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies or (iv) hold nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an

Table of Contents

emerging growth company for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if we have more than $1.0 billion of revenues in a fiscal year, have more than $700 million in market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

To the extent that we rely on any of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies, you will receive less information about our executive compensation and internal control over financial reporting than issuers that are not emerging growth companies. If some investors find our common stock to be less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information in this prospectus includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this prospectus, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this prospectus, the words “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events.

Forward-looking statements may include statements about our:

 

   

business strategy;

 

   

reserves;

 

   

exploration and development drilling prospects, inventories, projects and programs;

 

   

ability to replace the reserves we produce through drilling and property acquisitions;

 

   

financial strategy, liquidity and capital required for our development program;

 

   

realized oil and natural gas prices;

 

   

timing and amount of future production of oil and natural gas;

 

   

hedging strategy and results;

 

   

future drilling plans;

 

   

competition and government regulations;

 

   

ability to obtain permits and governmental approvals;

 

   

pending legal or environmental matters;

 

   

marketing of oil and natural gas;

 

   

leasehold or business acquisitions;

 

   

costs of developing our properties;

 

   

general economic conditions;

 

   

credit markets;

 

   

uncertainty regarding our future operating results; and

 

   

plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this prospectus that are not historical.

We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of oil and natural gas. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, inflation, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital, the timing of development expenditures, and the other risks described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus.

Table of Contents

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this prospectus occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this prospectus are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $562.5 million, assuming an initial public offering price of $16.50 per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of approximately $37.5 million, in the aggregate.

We intend to contribute all of the net proceeds from this offering to Parsley LLC in exchange for PE Units. Parsley LLC will use (i) approximately $6.7 million to make a cash payment in settlement of the Preferred Return, (ii) $165.3 million to reduce amounts drawn under Parsley LLC’s revolving credit facility, (iii) $132.8 million to fund the OGX Acquisition and related fees and expenses and (iv) any remaining net proceeds to fund a portion of our exploration and development program. In the event the acquisition of the OGX Acquisition does not close, we would use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to fund a portion of our exploration and development program.

Our revolving credit facility matures on September 10, 2018. As of March 31, 2014, the revolving credit facility had a balance of approximately $130.0 million and bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.56%. The borrowings to be repaid were incurred primarily to fund capital expenditures and the growth of our business. While we currently do not have plans to immediately borrow additional amounts under our revolving credit facility, we may at any time reborrow amounts repaid under our revolving credit facility and we expect to do so to fund our capital program and for other general corporate purposes.

We have granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,585,000 additional shares of our Class A common stock. We will use the proceeds from the sale of these additional shares for to fund our exploration and development program.

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $16.50 per share would cause the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, received by us to increase or decrease, respectively, by approximately $34.4 million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus remains the same. If the proceeds increase due to a higher initial public offering price or due to the issuance of additional shares, we would use the additional net proceeds to fund our exploration and development program. If the proceeds decrease due to a lower initial public offering price or a decrease in the number of shares issued, then we would reduce by a corresponding amount the net proceeds directed to reduce amounts drawn under Parsley LLC’s revolving credit facility. Any reduction in net proceeds may cause us to need to borrow additional funds under our credit facilities to fund our operations, which would increase our interest expense and decrease our net income.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock by the selling shareholders. We will pay all expenses related to this offering, other than underwriting discounts and commissions related to the shares sold by the selling shareholders.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends to holders of our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, investment opportunities, statutory restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our debt agreements restrict our ability to pay cash dividends to holders of our Class A common stock.

(2) A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $16.50 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would have no effect on our total indebtedness and would increase (decrease) cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ equity and total capitalization each by approximately $34.4 million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. An increase (decrease) of one million shares offered by us at an assumed offering price of $16.50 per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) cash and cash equivalents by approximately $15.6 million and increase (decrease) additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ equity and total capitalization each by approximately $15.6 million, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014 reflects $2.5 million of the estimated expenses from this offering that have already been paid.
(3) As of April 30, 2014, the borrowing base was $327.5 million, the outstanding balance totaled $175.3 million including an outstanding letter of credit in the amount of $0.3 million, and we were able to incur approximately $152.3 million of indebtedness under our revolving credit facility. After giving effect to the consummation of the corporate reorganization and the application of the net proceeds of this offering, we expect to have $327.2 million of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.
(4) Reflected at principal amount and excludes issue premium on the notes issued in April 2014 of $6.0 million, which will be amortized over the life of the notes.
(5) On June 11, 2013, Parsley LLC issued membership interests to NGP and other investors for total consideration of $73.5 million. These interest holders were granted certain rights under Parsley LLC’s limited liability company agreement. Included with these rights were (1) the right to receive a return on their invested capital prior to any distribution to any other unit holders and (2) the right to require Parsley LLC to redeem all, but not less than all, of such holder’s interest in Parsley LLC after the seventh anniversary, but before the eighth anniversary, of the date of their investment, or if Bryan Sheffield ceases to be Parsley LLC’s Chief Executive Officer. As the investment by these holders is redeemable at their option, Parsley LLC has reflected this investment outside of permanent equity, under the heading “ Mezzanine Equity—Redeemable LLC Units ” in Parsley LLC’s Condensed Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

The information presented above assumes no exercise of the option to purchase additional shares by the underwriters. The table does not reflect shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under our long-term incentive plan, which we plan to adopt in connection with this offering.

DILUTION

Purchasers of the Class A common stock in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Class A common stock for accounting purposes. Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2014, after giving pro forma effect to the transactions described under “Corporate Reorganization,” was approximately $37.9 million, or $0.50 per share of Class A common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our pro forma tangible net worth (tangible assets less total liabilities) by the total number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock that will be outstanding immediately prior to the closing of this offering including giving effect to our corporate reorganization. After giving effect to the sale of the shares in this offering and further assuming the receipt of the estimated net proceeds (assuming the midpoint of the range on the cover of this prospectus and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2014 would have been approximately $602.9 million, or $5.40 per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $4.90 per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution (i.e., the difference between the offering price and the adjusted pro forma net tangible book value after this offering) to new investors purchasing shares in this offering of $11.10 per share. The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors purchasing shares in this offering (assuming that 100% of our Class B common stock has been exchanged for Class A common stock):

 

Assumed initial public offering price per share

        $ 16.50   

Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2014 (after giving effect to our corporate reorganization)

   $ 0.50      

Increase per share attributable to new investors in the offering

   $ 4.90      

As adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share (after giving effect to our corporate reorganization and this offering)

        5.40   
     

 

 

 

Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering(1)

      $ 11.10   
     

 

 

 

 

(1) If the initial public offering price were to increase or decrease by $1.00 per share, then dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering would equal $11.80 or $10.41, respectively.

The following table summarizes, on an adjusted pro forma basis as of March 31, 2014, the total number of shares of Class A common stock owned by existing shareholders (assuming that 100% of our Class B common stock has been exchanged for Class A common stock) and to be owned by new investors, the total consideration paid, and the average price per share paid by our existing shareholders and to be paid by new investors in this offering at $16.50, the midpoint of the range of the initial public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, calculated before deduction of estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.

Table of Contents

The data in the table excludes 12,727,273 shares of Class A common stock initially reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plan, based on an assumed public offering price of $16.50 per share (which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus).

If the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full, the number of shares held by new investors will be increased to 50,485,000, or approximately 58.6% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock.

SELECTED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

Parsley Inc. was formed in December 2013 and does not have historical financial operating results. The following table shows selected historical and pro forma consolidated and combined financial data of our accounting predecessor, Parsley LLC and its predecessors, for the periods and as of the dates presented. Parsley LLC was formed on June 11, 2013. Concurrent with the formation of Parsley LLC, all of the interest holders in Parsley Energy, L.P., Parsley Energy Management, LLC and Parsley Energy Operations, LLC exchanged their interests in each such entity for common units in Parsley LLC (the “Exchange”). The Exchange was treated as a reorganization of entities under common control. Due to the factors described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our future results of operations will not be comparable to the historical results of our predecessor.

The selected historical consolidated and combined financial data as of December 31, 2012 and 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were derived from the audited historical consolidated and combined financial statements of our predecessor included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary unaudited historical interim consolidated and combined financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 were derived from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated and combined financial statements of our predecessor included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary unaudited historical consolidated and combined interim financial data has been prepared on a consistent basis with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements of Parsley LLC. In the opinion of management, such summary unaudited historical consolidated and combined interim financial data reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) considered necessary to present our financial position for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year because of the impact of fluctuations in prices received from oil and natural gas, natural production declines, the uncertainty of exploration and development drilling results and other factors.

The selected unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined statement of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2013 has been prepared to give pro forma effect to (i) the reorganization transactions described under “Corporate Reorganization” (ii) the Merit Acquisition, (iii) the Pacer Acquisition, (iv) the repayment and termination of our second lien credit facility and the repayment of amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility and (v) this offering and the application of the net proceeds from this offering as if they had been completed as of January 1, 2013. The selected unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 has been prepared to give pro forma effect to these transactions as if they had been completed on March 31, 2014, respectively. The selected unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial data are presented for informational purposes only and should not be considered indicative of actual results of operations that would have been achieved had the reorganization transactions and this offering been consummated on the dates indicated, and do not purport to be indicative of statements of financial position or results of operations as of any future date or for any future period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated and Combined Financial Data” and the accompanying financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, market prices for oil and natural gas, production volumes, estimates of proved reserves, capital expenditures, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Our Predecessor and Parsley Energy, Inc.

Parsley Inc. was formed in December 2013 and does not have historical financial operating results. For purposes of this prospectus, our accounting predecessors are Parsley LLC and its predecessors. Parsley LLC was formed in June 2013 to engage in the acquisition, development, exploration and exploitation of oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. Concurrent with the formation of Parsley LLC all of the interest holders in Parsley LP, PEM and PEO exchanged their interests in each such entity for interests in Parsley LLC (the “Exchange”). The Exchange was treated as a reorganization of entities under common control.

Following this offering and the transactions related thereto, Parsley Inc. will be a holding company whose sole material asset will consist of 32,086,042 PE Units. After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this prospectus, Parsley Inc. will be the managing member of Parsley LLC and will be responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Parsley LLC business and will consolidate the financial results of Parsley LLC and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, development, and exploitation of unconventional oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. Our properties are located in the Midland and Delaware Basins and our activities have historically been focused on the vertical development of the Spraberry, Wolfberry and Wolftoka Trends of the Midland Basin. Our vertical wells in the area are drilled into stacked pay zones that include the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline), Strawn, Atoka and Mississippian formations. We have begun to supplement our vertical development drilling activity with horizontal wells and expect to target various stacked pay intervals in the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline) and Atoka shales.

Our Properties

At March 31, 2014, our acreage position was 111,644 net acres. The vast majority of our acreage is located in the Midland Basin, and the majority of our identified vertical and horizontal drilling locations are located in our Midland Basin-Core area. From the time we began drilling operations in November 2009 through March 31, 2014, we have drilled and placed on production approximately 402 vertical wells across our acreage in the Midland Basin and at times we have operated up to 10 vertical drilling rigs simultaneously. In addition to our vertical drilling program in the Midland Basin, we initiated our horizontal development program with one rig during the fourth quarter of 2013. Additionally we commenced our vertical appraisal drilling program in the Delaware Basin during the first quarter of 2014 and expect to drill three vertical appraisal wells in 2014. This activity has allowed us to identify a multi-year inventory of 3,580 potential vertical drilling locations and 1,681

Table of Contents

potential horizontal drilling locations on our existing acreage, excluding our Southern Delaware Basin acreage and only ascribing 20 vertical locations to our Gaines County (Midland Basin) acreage. As we continue to expand our drilling activity to our undeveloped acreage, we expect to identify additional horizontal and vertical locations. We expect to continue to actively lease or acquire minimally producing leasehold with additional drilling upside in order to maintain our track record of growing through the drill bit.

As of March 31, 2014, we had interests in 555 gross (271 net) producing wells across our properties. We currently operate 99% of the wells in which we have an interest, all of which are in the Midland Basin. As of December 31, 2013, our total estimated proved reserves were approximately 54.8 MMBoe, of which approximately 43% were classified as proved developed reserves.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our oil and natural gas operations, including:

 

   

production volumes;

 

   

realized prices on the sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs, including the effect of our commodity derivative contracts;

 

   

lease operating expenses;

 

   

capital expenditures; and

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA.

Sources of Our Revenues

Our revenues are derived from the sale of our oil and natural gas production, as well as the sale of NGLs that are extracted from our natural gas during processing. Our oil and natural gas revenues do not include the effects of derivatives. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our revenues were derived 79% and 83%, respectively, from oil sales and 21% and 17%, respectively, from natural gas and NGLs sales. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, our revenues were derived 81%, 81% and 80% from oil sales, respectively, and 19%, 19% and 20% from natural gas and NGLs sales, respectively. Our revenues may vary significantly from period to period as a result of changes in volumes of production sold or changes in commodity prices. NGLs production and sales are included in our natural gas production and sales.

Production Volumes

The following table presents historical production volumes for our predecessor’s properties for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014.

Production volumes directly impact our results of operations. For more information about our predecessor’s production volumes, please read “—Predecessor Results of Operations.”

As reservoir pressures decline, production from a given well or formation decreases. Growth in our future production and reserves will depend on our ability to continue to add proved reserves in excess of our production.

Table of Contents

Accordingly, we plan to maintain our focus on adding reserves through organic drill-bit growth as well as acquisitions. Our ability to add reserves through development projects and acquisitions is dependent on many factors, including our ability to raise capital, obtain regulatory approvals, procure contract drilling rigs and personnel and successfully identify and consummate acquisitions. Please read “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Oil and Natural Gas Industry and Our Business” for a discussion of these and other risks affecting our proved reserves and production.

Realized Prices on the Sale of Oil, Natural Gas and NGLs

The NYMEX WTI futures price is a widely used benchmark in the pricing of domestic and imported oil in the United States. The actual prices realized from the sale of oil differ from the quoted NYMEX WTI price as a result of quality and location differentials. For example, the prices we realize on the oil we produce are affected by the ability to transport crude oil to the Cushing, Oklahoma transport hub and the Gulf Coast refineries. Periodically, logistical and infrastructure constraints at the Cushing, Oklahoma transport hub have resulted in an oversupply of crude oil at Midland, Texas and thus lower prices for Midland WTI. These lower prices have adversely affected the prices we realize on oil sales and increased our differential to NYMEX WTI. However, several projects have recently been implemented and several more are underway to ease these transportation difficulties which we believe could reduce our differentials to NYMEX WTI in the future.

The NYMEX Henry Hub price of natural gas is a widely used benchmark for the pricing of natural gas in the United States. Similar to oil, the actual prices realized from the sale of natural gas differ from the quoted NYMEX Henry Hub price as a result of quality and location differentials. For example, wet natural gas with a high Btu content sells at a premium to low Btu content dry natural gas because it yields a greater quantity of NGLs. Location differentials to NYMEX Henry Hub prices result from variances in transportation costs based on the natural gas’ proximity to the major consuming markets to which it is ultimately delivered. Also affecting the differential is the processing fee deduction retained by the natural gas processing plant generally in the form of percentage of proceeds.

The following table provides the high and low prices for NYMEX WTI and NYMEX Henry Hub prompt month contract prices and our differential to the average of those benchmark prices for the periods indicated. The differential varies, but our oil and natural gas normally sells at a discount to the NYMEX WTI and NYMEX Henry Hub price, respectively.

Because our NGLs are reported in our natural gas revenue, our differential to NYMEX Henry Hub is positive.

In the past, oil and natural gas prices have been extremely volatile, and we expect this volatility to continue. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the NYMEX WTI oil price ranged from a high of $110.53 per Bbl to a low of $86.68 per Bbl, while the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas price ranged from a high of $4.46 per MMBtu to a low of $3.11 per MMBtu. For the five years ended December 31, 2013, the NYMEX-WTI oil price ranged from a high of $145.29 per Bbl to a low of $33.87 per Bbl, while the NYMEX-Henry Hub natural gas price ranged from a high of $13.58 per MMBtu to a low of $1.91 per MMBtu.

To achieve more predictable cash flow and to reduce our exposure to adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, from time to time we enter into derivative arrangements for our oil production. By removing a significant portion of price volatility associated with our oil production, we believe we will mitigate, but not eliminate, the potential negative effects of reductions in oil prices on our cash flow from operations for those periods. However, in a portion of our current positions, our hedging activity may also reduce our ability to benefit from increases in oil prices. We will sustain losses to the extent our derivatives contract prices are lower than market prices and, conversely, we will sustain gains to the extent our derivatives contract prices are higher than market prices. See “—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk” for information regarding our exposure to market risk, including the effects of changes in commodity prices, and our commodity derivative contracts.

We will continue to use commodity derivative instruments to hedge our price risk in the future. Our hedging strategy and future hedging transactions will be determined at our discretion and may be different than what we have done on a historical basis including hedging our natural gas production. We are not under an obligation to hedge a specific portion of our oil or gas production.

Principal Components of Our Cost Structure

Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses are the costs incurred in the operation of producing properties and workover costs. Expenses for direct labor, water injection and disposal, utilities, materials and supplies comprise the most significant portion of our lease operating expenses. Lease operating expenses do not include general and administrative expenses or production or ad valorem taxes. Certain items, such as direct labor and materials and supplies, generally remain relatively fixed across broad production volume ranges, but can fluctuate depending on activities performed during a specific period. For instance, repairs to our pumping equipment or surface facilities result in increased lease operating expenses in periods during which they are

Table of Contents

performed. Certain of our operating cost components are variable and increase or decrease as the level of produced hydrocarbons and water increases or decreases. For example, we incur power costs in connection with various production related activities such as pumping to recover oil and natural gas and separation and treatment of water produced in connection with our oil and natural gas production.

We monitor our operations to ensure that we are incurring lease operating expenses at an acceptable level. For example, we monitor our lease operating expenses per Boe to determine if any wells or properties should be shut in, recompleted or sold. This unit rate also allows us to monitor these costs in certain fields and geographic areas to identify trends and to assess our lease operating expenses in comparison to other producers. Although we strive to reduce our lease operating expenses, these expenses can increase or decrease on a per unit basis as a result of various factors as we operate our properties or make acquisitions and dispositions of properties. For example, we may increase field level expenditures to optimize our operations, incurring higher expenses in one quarter relative to another or we may acquire or dispose of properties that have different lease operating expenses per Boe. These initiatives would influence our overall operating cost and could cause fluctuations when comparing lease operating expenses on a period to period basis. In addition, since most of our wells were completed relatively recently, they are currently producing at high rates. As with all wells, however, over time production will decrease, which will result in an increase in our lease operating expenses on a per barrel basis. We also expect an increase in our lease operating expenses as we increase the number of wells drilled and operated.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes. Production taxes are paid on produced oil and natural gas based on a percentage of revenues from production sold at fixed rates established by federal, state or local taxing authorities. In general, the production taxes we pay correlate to the changes in oil and natural gas revenues. We are also subject to ad valorem taxes in the counties where our production is located. Ad valorem taxes are generally based on the valuation of our oil and natural gas properties.

Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization (‘‘DD&A’’) is the systematic expensing of the capitalized costs incurred to acquire, explore and develop oil and natural gas. We use the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and natural gas activities and, as such, we capitalize all costs associated with our acquisition and development efforts and all successful exploration efforts, which are then allocated to each unit of production using the unit of production method. Please read “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Successful Efforts Method of Accounting for Oil and Natural Gas Activities” for further discussion.

Impairment Expense. We review our proved properties and unproved leasehold costs for impairment whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that a decline in the recoverability of their carrying value may have occurred.

General and Administrative Expenses. These are costs incurred for overhead, including payroll and benefits for our corporate staff, costs of maintaining our headquarters, costs of managing our production and development operations including numerous software applications, audit and other fees for professional services and legal compliance. Also included as compensation expense are amounts required to be recognized attributable to issued and outstanding incentive units. See “ – Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments. We utilize commodity derivative contracts to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the price of oil. None of our derivative contracts are designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Consequently, our derivative contracts are marked-to-market each quarter with fair value gains and losses recognized currently as a gain or loss in our results of operations. The amount of future gain or loss recognized on derivative instruments is dependent upon future oil prices, which will affect the value of the contracts. Cash flow is only impacted to the extent the actual settlements under the contracts result in making a payment to or receiving a payment from the counterparty.

 

64


Table of Contents

Interest Expense. We finance a portion of our working capital requirements and capital expenditures with borrowings under our revolving credit facility and second lien credit facility. As a result, we incur interest expense that is affected by both fluctuations in interest rates and our financing decisions. We reflect interest paid to the lenders under our revolving credit facility and second lien credit facility in interest expense. Interest expense also includes the PIK interest on the second lien credit facility and our prior mezzanine debt facility.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before depreciation, depletion and amortization, gain (loss) on sales of oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligation accretion expense, interest expense, income tax, prepayment premium on extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments and premiums (paid) received on options that settled during the period.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows it to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measure of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and may also be used by investors to measure our ability to meet debt service requirements. For further discussion, please read “Prospectus Summary—Summary Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated and Combined Financial Data—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Our historical financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented may not be comparable, either from period to period or going forward, for the following reasons:

Incentive Unit Compensation

For the year ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014, within our general and administrative expenses, are amounts attributable to incentive units that, pursuant to the terms of the Parsley LLC limited liability company agreement at that date, were only entitled to a payout after a specified level of cumulative cash distributions had been received by NGP and the PSP Members. At December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the incentive units were being accounted for as liability-classified awards pursuant to ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, as achievement of the payout conditions required settlement of such awards by transferring cash to the incentive unit holder. As such, the fair value of the incentive units was remeasured each reporting period, with the percentage of such fair value recorded to compensation expense each period being equal to the percentage of the requisite explicit or implied service period that had been rendered at that date. For the year ended December 31, 2013, such expense totaled $1.2 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2014, such expense totaled $0.5 million.

As part of the transactions described under “Corporate Reorganization”, the Parsley LLC’s limited liability company agreement will be amended to provide that all incentive units are to be settled with PE Units, which PE Units will be exchanged for shares of Class A common stock in connection with the consummation of this offering, instead of in cash at some future liquidation date. As a result, as of the effective date of the amendment

 

65


Table of Contents

to the Parsley LLC’s limited liability company agreement, we will begin accounting for the incentive unit awards as equity-classified awards pursuant to ASC Topic 718. This will result in the recognition of $41.1 million of compensation cost equal to the excess of the modified awards’ fair value (based on the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) over the amount of cumulative compensation cost recognized prior to that date.

Public Company Expenses

Upon completion of this offering, we expect to incur direct, incremental general and administrative expenses as a result of being a publicly traded company, including, but not limited to, increased scope of our operations as a result of recent activities and costs associated with hiring new personnel, implementation of compensation programs that are competitive with our public company peer group, annual and quarterly reports to shareholders, tax return preparation, independent auditor fees, investor relations activities, registrar and transfer agent fees, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs and independent director compensation. These direct, incremental general and administrative expenses are not included in our historical results of operations.

Corporate Reorganization

The historical consolidated and combined financial statements included in this prospectus are based on the financial statements of our accounting predecessors, Parsley LLC and its predecessors, prior to our reorganization in connection with this offering as described in “Corporate Reorganization.” As a result, the historical consolidated and combined financial data may not give you an accurate indication of what our actual results would have been if the transactions described in “Corporate Reorganization” had been completed at the beginning of the periods presented or of what our future results of operations are likely to be. In addition, we will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders. This agreement generally provides for the payment by us to a TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after this offering as a result of (i) any tax basis increases resulting from the contribution in connection with this offering by such TRA Holder of all or a portion of its PE Units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for shares of Class A common stock, (ii) the tax basis increases resulting from the exchange by such TRA Holder of PE Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Right (or resulting from an exchange of PE Units for cash pursuant to the Cash Option) and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement.”

Income Taxes

Our accounting predecessors are limited liability companies or limited partnerships and therefore not subject to U.S. federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been provided for in our historical results of operations because taxable income was passed through to Parsley LLC’s members. Although we are a corporation under the Code, subject to U.S. federal income taxes at a statutory rate of 35% of pretax earnings, we do not expect to report any income tax benefit or expense attributable to U.S. federal income taxes until the consummation of this offering. At the closing of this offering, we will be taxed as a corporation under the Code and subject to U.S. federal income taxes at a statutory rate of 35% of pretax earnings.

Parsley LLC’s operations located in Texas are subject to an entity-level tax, the Texas margin tax, at a statutory rate of up to 1.0% of income that is apportioned to Texas.

Increased Drilling Activity

We began drilling operations in November 2009 and added operated vertical drilling rigs over time. We currently operate nine vertical drilling rigs and two horizontal drilling rigs on our properties. Our 2014 capital budget for drilling and completion is approximately $409.0 million for an estimated 164 gross (138 net) vertical wells and 26 gross (19 net) horizontal wells. Our capital budget excludes acquisitions. This represents a 52% increase over our $268.4 million 2013 expenditures for drilling and completion.

The amount and timing of these capital expenditures is largely discretionary and within our control. We could choose to defer a portion of these planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the success of our drilling activities, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals, seasonal conditions, drilling and acquisition costs and the level of participation by other interest owners.

Oil revenues increased 232% from $13.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $45.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is attributable to higher oil production volumes of 324 MBbls in conjunction with an increase in average oil prices of $12.05 per barrel. Of the overall changes in oil sales, increases in oil production volumes accounted for a positive change of $26.4 million while increases in oil prices accounted for a positive change of $5.9 million.

Natural gas and natural gas liquid revenues increased 337% from $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $11.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The revenue increase is primarily a result of an increase in volumes sold of 1,381 MMcf. Natural gas revenue includes revenue from the sale of NGLs volumes.

Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses increased 168% from $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $7.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to the higher operated well count in the three month period ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year period. On a per Boe basis, lease operating expenses decreased from $9.70 per Boe to $8.51 per Boe. This decrease was attributable to higher initial production from 37 new wells which lower our average price, partially offset by an increase in costs for repairs and maintenance, additional lease operators and increased water disposal activity.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes. Production and ad valorem taxes increased $2.1 million from $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to increased wellhead revenue resulting from higher production. Our increased drilling activity led to a higher number of wells brought on production during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. DD&A expense increased by $15.1 million from $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $18.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to an increase in capitalized costs and production volumes.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $5.9 million from $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $8.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to higher payroll and payroll-related costs as we added additional employees to manage our growing asset base, higher rig count and increased production.

Interest Expense . Interest expense increased $5.4 million from $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $7.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to higher weighted-average outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities.

Prepayment Premium on Extinguishment of Debt . During the first quarter of 2014, we incurred a $5.1 million charge related to a call premium on our then outstanding debt facility.

Derivative Loss. Loss on derivative instruments grew $1.8 million from $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $5.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily as a result of the impact of unfavorable commodity price changes on increased hedging activities.

Income Tax Expense

Although our operations have not been subject to federal income tax, our operations located in Texas are subject to an entity-level tax, the Texas margin tax, at a statutory rate of up to 1.0% of our Texas sourced operating income. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $0.5 million of expense associated with our Texas margin tax obligation, an increase of $0.2 million, or 63%, as compared to the $0.3 million we recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was attributable to our net increase in operating income, the components of which are discussed above.

Prepayment Premium on Extinguishment of Debt. In 2012, we incurred a $6.6 million cash charge related to a call premium on our then outstanding debt facility. In 2013, there were no such prepayment charges related to debt extinguishment.

Derivative Loss. Loss on derivative instruments grew $7.6 million from $2.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 to $9.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily as a result of the impact of changing commodity prices on increased hedging activities.

Gain on Sales of Oil and Natural Gas Properties

In August 2013, we sold our interest in seven non-operated wells and 190 net acres for total proceeds of $0.8 million and realized a $36,000 gain on the sale. In April 2012, we sold 2,652 net unevaluated acres for $8.6 million and realized a $7.5 million gain on the sale.

Oil revenues increased 250% from $8.7 million in 2011 to $30.4 million in 2012 as a result of an increase in oil production volumes of 262 MBbls offset by a decrease in average oil prices of $6.83 per barrel. Of the overall changes in oil sales, increases in oil production volumes accounted for a positive change of $24.2 million while decreases in oil prices accounted for a negative change of $2.5 million.

Natural gas and natural gas liquid revenues increased 239% from $2.1 million in 2011 to $7.2 million in 2012. The revenue increase is primarily a result of an increase in natural gas production volumes of 1,189 MMcf offset by a decrease in average natural gas prices of $2.17 per Mcf. Of the overall change in natural gas sales, increases in production volumes accounted for a positive change of $8.3 million while decreases in natural gas prices accounted for a negative change of $3.2 million. Natural gas revenue includes revenue from the sale of NGLs volumes.

Lease Operating Expenses. Lease operating expenses increased 221% from $1.4 million in 2011 to $4.6 million in 2012 primarily due to the increase in operated well count from 2011 to 2012, increases in costs for repair and maintenance for 89 new wells added, additional lease operators and increased water disposal activity. On a per Boe basis, lease operating expenses decreased from $9.99 per Boe to $7.69 per Boe.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes. Production and ad valorem taxes increased 295%, or $1.8 million from $0.6 million in 2011 to $2.4 million in 2012 due to increased wellhead revenue resulting from higher production from our increase in the number of wells brought on production.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. DD&A expense increased by $5.2 million from $1.2 million in 2011 to $6.4 million in 2012 due to an increase in capitalized costs and production volumes.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million from $1.4 million in 2011 to $3.6 million in 2012 primarily due to higher payroll and payroll-related costs as we added additional employees to manage our growing asset base, higher rig count and increased production.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $5.8 million from $0.5 million in 2011 to $6.3 million in 2012 primarily due to having a full year with the mezzanine debt facility outstanding during 2012 in addition to higher weighted-average outstanding borrowings under our credit agreement.

Prepayment Premium on Extinguishment of Debt. In 2012, we incurred a $6.6 million cash charge related to a call premium on our then outstanding debt facility. In 2011, there were no such prepayment charges related to debt extinguishment.

Derivative Loss. Loss on derivative instruments grew $1.9 million from $0.3 million in 2011 to $2.2 million in 2012 primarily as a result of the impact of changing commodity prices on increased hedging activities.

Gain on Sales of Oil and Natural Gas Properties

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into several transactions whereby we sold a total of 3,612 unevaluated net acres for total proceeds of $9.3 million and a total realized gain of $7.8 million. This compares to our activity during the year ended December 31, 2011 where we entered into several transactions, selling a total of 10,264 unevaluated net acres for total proceeds of $10.3 million and a total realized gain of $6.6 million.

Income Tax Expense

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized $0.6 million of expense associated with our Texas margin tax obligation, an increase of $0.4 million, or 377.6%, as compared to the $0.1 million we recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was attributable to our net increase in operating income, the components of which are discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect that our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources after the consummation of this offering will be cash flows generated by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Depending upon market conditions and other factors, we may also have the ability to issue additional equity and debt if needed. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to make a cash payment in settlement of the Preferred Return, to reduce amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility and any remaining net proceeds will be used to fund a portion of our exploration and development program.

Historically, our predecessor’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under Parsley LLC’s credit facilities and equity provided by investors, including our management team and NGP. To date, our predecessor’s primary use of capital has been for the development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties and increasing our acreage position. Our predecessor’s borrowings were approximately $470.6 million, $25.0 million, $430.2 million and $119.7 million at March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Borrowings during those periods were used primarily to fund development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties in addition to adding to our leasehold.

Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity

Our 2014 capital budget for drilling and completion is approximately $409.0 million for an estimated 164 gross (138 net) vertical wells and 26 gross (19 net) horizontal wells. Our capital budget excludes acquisitions. Substantially all of our capital budget will be spent in the Midland Basin. During the year ended December 31, 2013, our aggregate drilling and completion capital expenditures were $268.4 million, excluding acquisitions.

However, the amount and timing of these 2014 capital expenditures is largely discretionary and within our control. We could choose to defer a portion of these planned 2014 capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the success of our drilling activities, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals, seasonal conditions, drilling and acquisition costs and the level of participation by other working interest owners. A deferral of planned capital expenditures, particularly with respect to drilling and completing new wells, could result in a reduction in anticipated production and cash flows. Additionally, if we curtail our drilling program, we may lose a portion of our acreage through lease expirations. See “Business—Developed and Undeveloped Acreage.” In addition, we may be required to reclassify some portion of our reserves currently booked as proved undeveloped reserves if such a deferral of planned capital expenditures means we will be unable to develop such reserves within five years of their initial booking.

Historically, our predecessor’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under Parsley LLC’s credit facilities and equity provided by investors, including our management team and NGP. To date, our predecessor’s primary use of capital has been for the development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties and increasing our acreage position. Our future successes in growing proved reserves and production will be highly dependent on the capital resources available to us. As we pursue reserve and production growth, we monitor which capital resources, including equity and debt financings, are available to us to meet our future financial obligations, planned capital expenditure activities and liquidity requirements. Based upon current oil and natural gas price expectations for 2014, following the closing of this offering and the consummation of the transactions described under “Corporate Reorganization,” we believe that our cash flow

Table of Contents

from operations, proceeds of this offering and borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations through 2014. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the level of oil and natural gas production and prices, and significant additional capital expenditures will be required to more fully develop our properties. For example we expect a portion of our future capital expenditures to be financed with cash flows from operations derived from wells drilled in drilling locations not associated with proved reserves on our December 31, 2013 reserve report. The failure to achieve anticipated production and cash flows from operations from such wells could result in a reduction in future capital spending. We cannot assure you that operations and other needed capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Further, our capital expenditure budget for 2014 does not allocate any amounts for leasehold interest and additions to our properties. In the event we make additional acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce the expected level of capital expenditures and/or seek additional capital. If we require additional capital for that or other reasons, we may seek such capital through traditional reserve base borrowings, joint venture partnerships, production payment financings, asset sales, offerings of debt and equity securities or other means. We cannot assure you that needed capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our current drilling programs, which could result in a loss of acreage through lease expirations. In addition, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to replace our reserves.

Revolving Credit Facility

On October 21, 2013, we entered into an amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”), and a syndicate of lenders with a maximum revolving credit facility of $750 million and a sublimit for letters of credit of $2.5 million.

Our revolving credit facility is secured by liens on substantially all of our properties and guarantees from Parsley and our subsidiaries. The revolving credit facility contains restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to, among other things:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

sell assets;

 

   

make loans to others;

 

   

make investments;

 

   

enter into mergers;

 

   

make or declare dividends;

 

   

hedge future production or interest rates;

 

   

incur liens; and

 

   

engage in certain other transactions without the prior consent of the lenders.

The amount available to be borrowed under our revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base that is redetermined semi-annually each March and September, with such redetermination effective each April and October, respectively, and depends on the volumes of our proved oil and gas reserves and estimated cash flows from these reserves and other information deemed relevant by the Administrative Agent. As of December 31, 2013, our borrowing base was $280.0 million, and we had $234.8 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. In connection with the issuance of our senior unsecured notes, our borrowing base was reduced to $227.5 million. As of April 30, 2014, our borrowing base was $327.5 million and we had $175.3 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility matures on September 10, 2018.

Table of Contents

Principal amounts borrowed are payable on the maturity date, and interest is payable quarterly for alternate base rate loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for Eurodollar loans. We have a choice of borrowing in Eurodollars or at the alternate base rate. Eurodollar loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an adjusted LIBO rate (equal to the product of: (a) the LIBO rate, multiplied by (b) a fraction (expressed as a decimal), the numerator of which is the number one and the denominator of which is the number one minus the aggregate of the maximum reserve percentages (expressed as a decimal) on such date at which the Administrative Agent is required to maintain reserves on ‘Eurocurrency Liabilities’ as defined in and pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) plus an applicable margin ranging from 150 to 250 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing base utilized. Alternate base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the agent bank’s reference rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points and (iii) the adjusted LIBO rate (as calculated above) plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin ranging from 50 to 150 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing base utilized. As of December 31, 2013, borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under our revolving credit facility had a weighted average interest rate of 3.31%. We may repay any amounts borrowed prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty other than customary LIBOR breakage costs.

Our first lien revolving credit facility also requires us to maintain the following financial ratios:

 

   

a current ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated current assets (includes unused commitments under the first lien revolving credit facility and unrestricted cash and excludes certain derivative assets) to our consolidated current liabilities (excludes obligations under the first lien revolving credit facility and certain derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; and

 

   

a minimum interest coverage ratio, which is the ratio of EBITDAX (as defined in our first lien revolving credit facility) to consolidated interest expense, of not less than 2.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date; provided that for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, EBITDAX and consolidated interest expense for the relevant period shall be deemed to equal EBITDAX or consolidated interest expense, as applicable, for the three, six or nine-month period then ending, as applicable, multiplied by 4, 2 and 4/3, respectively.

In April 2014, we determined that as of December 31, 2013, we were not in compliance with the quarterly current ratio requirement under our credit facility and that as a result an event of default had occurred under this facility. On April 11, 2014, we received a waiver for this event of default from the required lenders and are currently in compliance with the current ratio requirement.

A future breach of any covenant in our revolving credit facility could result in a default under the revolving credit agreement, after any applicable grace periods. In the event that the lenders under the revolving credit agreement did not waive such a default, all outstanding indebtedness at the time of such default could be accelerated and could result in a default, and acceleration of the indebtedness outstanding, under our other debt agreements. We have instituted procedures to minimize the risk of future breaches of covenants under the revolving credit facility, including regularly preparing cash flow projections which we will use to forecast covenant compliance under the revolving credit facility. If there is any likelihood of potential non-compliance with a covenant, we intend to take pro-active steps to meet with the lending bank to seek an amendment to, or a waiver of, the financial covenant at risk.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On February 5, 2014, Parsley LLC and Parsley Finance Corp. issued $400 million of the Notes. Interest is payable on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing August 15, 2014. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our subsidiaries other than Parsley LLC and Parsley Finance Corp. The issuance of these notes resulted in net proceeds, after discounts and offering expenses, of approximately $391.4 million, $198.5 million of which was used to repay all outstanding borrowings, accrued

interest and a prepayment penalty under our second lien credit facility (which was terminated concurrently with such repayment) and $175.1 million of which was used to partially repay amounts outstanding, plus accrued interest, under our revolving credit facility.

On April 14, 2014, Parsley LLC and Parsley Finance Corp. issued an additional $150 million of the Notes at 104% of par for gross proceeds of $156 million. The issuance of these notes resulted in net proceeds of approximately $152.8 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses, approximately $145 million of which was used to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

At any time prior to February 15, 2017, we may redeem up to 35% of the Notes at a redemption price of 107.5% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings so long as the redemption occurs within 120 days of completing such equity offering and at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding after such redemption. Prior to February 15, 2017, we may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus an applicable make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On and after February 15, 2017, we may redeem some or all of the Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 105.625% for the twelve-month period beginning on February 15, 2017, 103.750% for the twelve-month period beginning February 15, 2018, 101.875% for the twelve-month period beginning on February 15, 2019 and 100.00% beginning on February 15, 2020, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The indenture governing the Notes restricts our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire our capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; (iii) transfer or sell assets; (iv) make investments; (v) create certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict dividends or other payments from our restricted subsidiaries to us; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. If at any time when the Notes are rated investment grade by either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no default or event of default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended. If the ratings on the Notes decline subsequently to below investment grade, the suspended covenants will be reinstated.

Derivative Activity

We plan to continue our practice of entering into hedging arrangements to reduce the impact of commodity price volatility on our cash flow from operations. Under this strategy, we intend to continue our historical practice of entering into commodity derivative contracts at times and on terms desired to maintain a portfolio of commodity derivative contracts covering approximately 40% to 60% of our projected oil production over a two-to-three year period at a given point in time, although we may from time to time hedge more or less than this approximate range.

If cash flow from operations does not meet our expectations, we may reduce our expected level of capital expenditures and/or fund a portion of our capital expenditures using borrowings under our credit facilities, issuances of debt and equity securities or from other sources, such as asset sales. We cannot assure you that needed capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to raise funds through the incurrence of additional indebtedness could be limited by the covenants in our credit facilities. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to maintain our production or proved reserves.

     19,729        74,245        378,096        23,141        93,480   

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $18.1 million, $10.0 million, $16.0 million, $5.0 million and $53.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from period ending March 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 primarily due to an increased net cash paid for option as well as higher accounts receivable. Revenues, net of operating expenses, increased for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, and therefore our net cash provided by operating activities were consistent during that same period. Cash provided by operating activities is impacted by the prices received for oil and natural gas sales and levels of production volumes. Our production volumes in the future will in large part be dependent upon the dollar amount and results of future capital expenditures. Future levels of capital expenditures made by us may vary due to many factors, including drilling results, oil and natural gas prices, industry conditions, prices and availability of goods and services and the extent to which proved properties are acquired.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $34.5 million, $120.8 million, $15.7 million, $89.5 million and $425.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The increased amount of cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 and in the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 was due to additional rigs operating during 2013 over 2012 and 2012 over 2011, in addition to drilling higher working interest wells in 2013 over 2012 and acquisition activity. The increased amount of cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 was due to additional rigs operating during the three months ended March 31, 2014 over the three months ended March 31, 2013, in addition to drilling higher working interest wells during the three months ended March 31, 2014 over the three months ended March 31, 2013 and acquisition activity.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $23.1 million, $93.5 million, $19.7 million, $74.2 million and $378.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities increased in the period ending March 31, 2014 due to higher debt issuance related to the issuance of our unsecured notes. For 2013, the cash provided by financing activities was primarily related to new borrowings under our credit facilities in addition to the $73.5 million equity investment that was closed in June 2013. For 2011 and 2012, the cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of net borrowings under long-term debt.

Working Capital

Our working capital totaled ($45.5) million, ($54.2) million and ($10.0) million at March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Our collection of receivables has historically been timely, and losses associated with uncollectible receivables have historically not been significant. Our cash balances totaled $2.4 million, $19.4 million and $13.7 million at March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Due to the amounts that accrue related to our drilling program, we may incur

working capital deficits in the future. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities and availability under our credit agreement after application of the estimated net proceeds from this offering, as described under “Use of Proceeds,” will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs. We expect that our pace of development, production volumes, commodity prices and differentials to NYMEX prices for our oil and natural gas production will be the largest variables affecting our working capital.

(1) This table does not include future commitment fees, amortization of deferred financing costs, interest expense or other fees on Parsley’s first lien revolving credit facility because obligations thereunder are floating rate instruments and we cannot determine with accuracy the timing of future loan advances, repayments or future interest rates to be charged. At December 31, 2013, the maturity date of our revolving credit facility was the earlier of September 10, 2018 or the date that was 91 days prior to the stated maturity of our second lien credit facility, December 31, 2016. The second lien credit facility was repaid in full and terminated in February 2014.
(2) This table does not include future commitment fees, amortization of deferred financing costs, interest expense or other fees on Parsley’s second lien credit facility because obligations thereunder are floating rate instruments and we cannot determine with accuracy the timing of future loan advances, repayments or future interest rates to be charged.
(3) Amounts represent estimates of our predecessor’s future asset retirement obligations. Because these costs typically extend many years into the future, estimating these future costs requires management to make estimates and judgments that are subject to future revisions based upon numerous factors, including the rate of inflation, changing technology and the political and regulatory environment.
(4) On February 5, 2014, Parsley LLC and Parsley Finance Corp. issued $400 million of the Notes. We repaid all outstanding borrowings under our second lien credit facility and $174.8 million of principal amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility with the net proceeds from this offering. On April 14, 2014, Parsley LLC and Parsley Finance Corp. issued an additional $150 million of the Notes. We used approximately $145 million of the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading.

Table of Contents

Commodity Price Risk

Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing that we receive for our oil, natural gas and NGLs production. Pricing for oil, natural gas and NGLs has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and this volatility is expected to continue in the future. The prices we receive for our oil, natural gas and NGLs production depend on many factors outside of our control, such as the strength of the global economy.

To reduce the impact of fluctuations in oil prices on our revenues, our predecessor periodically enters into commodity derivative contracts with respect to certain of our oil production through various transactions that limit the downside of future prices received. We seek to hedge approximately 40% to 60% of our expected oil production on a rolling 24 to 36 month basis. We plan to continue our practice of entering into such transactions to reduce the impact of commodity price volatility on our cash flow from operations. Future transactions may include price swaps whereby we will receive a fixed price for our production and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty. Additionally, we may enter into collars, whereby we receive the excess, if any, of the fixed floor over the floating rate or pay the excess, if any, of the floating rate over the fixed ceiling price. These hedging activities are intended to support oil prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to oil price fluctuations. As a result of the recent increase in natural gas prices, we have hedged 1,800,000 MMBtu and 3,600,000 MMBtu of our expected 2014 and 2015 natural gas production, respectively. See “—Overview—Realized Prices on the Sale of Oil, Natural Gas and NGLs.”

Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk

Our derivative contracts expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. While our predecessor does not require our counterparties to our derivative contracts to post collateral, our predecessor does evaluate the credit standing of such counterparties as it deems appropriate. This evaluation includes reviewing a counterparty’s credit rating and latest financial information. We plan to continue to evaluate the credit standings of our counterparties in a similar manner. A portion of our predecessor’s derivative contracts currently in place are lenders under Parsley LLC’s credit facilities, with investment grade ratings.

Our principal exposures to credit risk are through receivables resulting from joint interest receivables and receivables from the sale of our oil and natural gas production due to the concentration of its oil and natural gas receivables with several significant customers. The inability or failure of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us or their insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results. However, we believe the credit quality of our customers is high. In addition, Parsley maintains the ability to net revenue payments to joint interest owners for those not paying their joint interest billings.

Joint operations receivables arise from billings to entities that own partial interests in the wells we operate. These entities participate in our wells primarily based on their ownership in leases on which we intend to drill. We have little ability to control whether these entities will participate in our wells.

Interest Rate Risk

At March 31, 2014, we had $130 million of variable-rate debt outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.40%, or 2.56%, including incorporation of the second lien LIBOR floor of 1.00%. Assuming no change in the amount outstanding, the impact on interest expense of a 1% increase or decrease in the average interest rate would be approximately $1.3 million per year. We may begin entering into interest rate swap arrangements on a portion of our outstanding debt to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in LIBOR. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Our Credit Facilities.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated and combined financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The

 

82


Table of Contents

preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of our consolidated and combined financial statements. See Note 3 of the notes to the audited consolidated and combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for an expanded discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates made by management.

Successful Efforts Method of Accounting for Oil and Natural Gas Activities

Oil and natural gas exploration and development activities are accounted for using the successful efforts method. Under this method, all property acquisition costs and costs of exploratory and development wells are capitalized when incurred, pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. If an exploratory well does not find proved reserves, the costs of drilling the well are charged to expense. The costs of development wells are capitalized whether productive or nonproductive.

The provision for DD&A of oil and natural gas properties is calculated on a reservoir basis using the unit-of-production method. All capitalized well costs and leasehold costs of proved properties are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the remaining life of proved developed reserves and total proved reserves, respectively. Natural gas is converted to barrel equivalents at the rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. The calculation for the unit-of-production DD&A method takes into consideration estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, which are net of estimated salvage values.

On the sale of a complete or partial unit of a proved property or pipeline and related facilities, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are removed from the property accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized.

Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals necessary to maintain properties in operating condition are expensed as incurred. Major betterments, replacements and renewals are capitalized to the appropriate property and equipment accounts. Estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs for oil and natural gas properties are capitalized, net of salvage, at their estimated net present value and amortized on a unit-of-production basis over the remaining life of the related proved developed reserves.

Unproved properties consist of costs incurred to acquire unproved leases, or lease acquisition costs. Unproved lease acquisition costs are capitalized until the leases expire or when we specifically identify leases that will revert to the lessor, at which time we expense the associated unproved lease acquisition costs. The expensing of the unproved lease acquisition costs is recorded as impairment expense in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations. Lease acquisition costs related to successful exploratory drilling are reclassified to proved properties and depleted on a unit-of-production basis.

For sales of entire working interests in unproved properties, gain or loss is recognized to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the net carrying value of the property. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved properties are accounted for as a recovery of costs unless the proceeds exceed the entire cost of the property.

Future Development Costs

Future development costs include costs incurred to obtain access to proved reserves such as drilling costs and the installation of production equipment. We develop estimates of these costs for each of our properties based upon their geographic location, type of production structure, well depth, currently available procedures and ongoing

 

83


Table of Contents

consultations with construction and engineering consultants. Because these costs typically extend many years into the future, estimating these future costs is difficult and requires management to make judgments that are subject to future revisions based upon numerous factors, including changing technology and the political and regulatory environment. We review our assumptions and estimates of future development costs on an annual basis.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We have significant obligations to remove tangible equipment and facilities associated with our oil and gas wells and our gathering systems, and to restore land at the end of oil and gas production operations. Our removal and restoration obligations are associated with plugging and abandoning wells and our gathering systems. Estimating the future restoration and removal costs is difficult and requires us to make estimates and judgments because most of the removal obligations are many years in the future and contracts and regulations often have vague descriptions of what constitutes removal. Asset removal technologies and costs are constantly changing, as are regulatory, political, environmental, safety and public relations considerations. Inherent in the present value calculations are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlements and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments.

Allocation of Purchase Price in Business Combinations

As part of our business strategy, we periodically pursue the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. The purchase price in an acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the acquisition date, which may occur many months after the announcement date. Therefore, while the consideration to be paid may be fixed, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is subject to change during the period between the announcement date and the acquisition date. Our most significant estimates in our allocation typically relate to the value assigned to future recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and unproved properties. As the allocation of the purchase price is subject to significant estimates and subjective judgments, the accuracy of this assessment is inherently uncertain.

Internal Controls and Procedures

We are not currently required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which will require our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Though we will be required to disclose material changes made to our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC. We will not be required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting until our first annual report subsequent to our ceasing to be an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act.

Inflation

Inflation in the United States has been relatively low in recent years and did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011 or the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014. Although the impact of inflation has been insignificant in recent years, it is still a factor in the United States economy and we tend to experience inflationary pressure on the cost of oilfield services and equipment as increasing oil and gas prices increase drilling activity in our areas of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Currently, neither we nor our predecessor have off-balance sheet arrangements.

BUSINESS

Our Company

We are an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, development and exploitation of unconventional oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin is located in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico and is comprised of three primary sub-areas: the Midland Basin, the Central Basin Platform and the Delaware Basin. These areas are characterized by high oil and liquids-rich natural gas content, multiple vertical and horizontal target horizons, extensive production histories, long-lived reserves and historically high drilling success rates. Our properties are primarily located in the Midland and Delaware Basins and our activities have historically been focused on the vertical development of the Spraberry, Wolfberry and Wolftoka Trends of the Midland Basin. Our vertical wells in the area are drilled into stacked pay zones that include the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline), Strawn, Atoka and Mississippian formations. We intend to supplement our vertical development drilling activity with horizontal wells targeting various stacked pay intervals in the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline) and Atoka shales.

We began operations in August 2008 when we acquired the operator rights to wells producing from the Spraberry Trend in the Midland Basin from Joe Parsley, a co-founder of Parker and Parsley. As of March 31, 2014, we continue to operate 98 gross (24 net) of these wells. Excluding those legacy 98 gross wells, as of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis, we had an average working interest of 59% in 457 gross producing wells. In total, we have interests in 555 gross (271 net) producing wells, on a pro forma basis, all of which are in the Midland Basin and 99% of which we operate. Since our inception, on a pro forma basis, we have leased or acquired 111,644 net acres in the Permian Basin, approximately 89,344 of which is in the Midland Basin. Since we commenced our drilling program in November 2009, we have operated up to 10 rigs simultaneously and averaged 9 operated rigs for the 12 months ended March 31, 2014. Driven primarily by our large-scale drilling program in the core of the Midland Basin, we have grown our net average daily production to 12,852 Boe/d for the month ended April 30, 2014, on a pro forma basis, a substantial majority of which is organic growth from wells we have drilled. We are currently operating nine vertical drilling rigs and two horizontal drilling rigs and expect to operate eight vertical rigs and increase to five horizontal rigs by the first quarter of 2015.

We intend to grow our reserves and production through the development, exploitation and drilling of our multi-year inventory of identified potential drilling locations. As of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis, we have identified 1,594 80- and 40-acre potential vertical drilling locations, 1,986 20-acre potential vertical drilling locations and 1,681 potential horizontal drilling locations on our existing acreage, excluding our Southern Delaware Basin acreage and ascribing only 20 vertical locations to our Gaines County (Midland Basin) acreage. As we expand our drilling program to our undeveloped Midland Basin acreage in Gaines County (Midland Basin) and our Southern Delaware Basin acreage, we expect to identify additional vertical and horizontal drilling locations. In addition to our vertical drilling program in the Midland Basin, we initiated our horizontal development program with one rig during the fourth quarter of 2013. Additionally, we commenced our vertical appraisal drilling program in the Delaware Basin during the first quarter of 2014 and expect to drill three vertical appraisal wells in 2014. We believe our acreage in the Delaware Basin may also benefit from the application of horizontal drilling and completion techniques. We expect to supplement organic growth from our drilling program by proactively leasing additional acreage and selectively pursuing acquisitions that meet our strategic and financial objectives, with an emphasis on oil-weighted reserves in the Midland Basin.

Our 2014 capital budget for drilling and completion is approximately $409.0 million for an estimated 164 gross (138 net) vertical wells and 26 gross (19 net) horizontal wells. Our capital budget excludes any amount that may be paid for acquisitions. We anticipate that substantially all of our 2014 capital budget will be directed toward the Midland Basin. During the year ended December 31, 2013, our aggregate drilling and completion capital expenditures were $268.4 million, excluding acquisitions. We expect the average working interest in wells we drill during 2014 will be approximately 75% to 85%.

 

85


Table of Contents

The amount and timing of these capital expenditures is largely discretionary and within our control. We could choose to defer a portion of these planned capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the success of our drilling activities, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas, the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital, the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals, seasonal conditions, drilling and acquisition costs and the level of participation by other interest owners.

We measure the expected return of our wells based on EUR and the related costs of acquisition, development and production. Based on estimates prepared by NSAI for our reserves as of December 31, 2013, type curves for vertical locations in our Midland Basin-Core and Midland Basin-Tier I areas have average EURs of 214.8 MBoe (109.1 MBbls of oil, 300.5 MMcf of natural gas and 55.6 MBbls of NGLs) and 109.3 MBoe (69.0 MBbls of oil, 114.5 MMcf of natural gas and 21.2 MBbls of NGLs), respectively. These estimates assume average 30-day initial production rates of 149.7 Boe/d (76.0 Bbls/d of oil, 209.3 Mcf/d of natural gas and 38.8 Bbls/d of NGLs), and 84.5 Boe/d (53.3 Bbls/d of oil, 88.5 Mcf/d of natural gas and 16.4 Bbls/d of NGLs), respectively, which is consistent with the performance of our existing producing wells in these areas. We have no proved undeveloped locations on our Midland Basin-Other or Southern Delaware Basin properties. To date, the average drilling and completion with sufficient cost data and facilities cost for the 201 and 125 vertical development wells we have drilled and placed on production in our Midland Basin-Core and Midland Basin-Tier I areas, respectively, is approximately $2.3 million and approximately $2.0 million, respectively. The average 2-stream 30-day initial production rate for all of the wells we drilled during the third and fourth quarters of 2013 was 153 Boe/d (comprised of 90 Bbls/d of oil and 373 Mcf/d of natural gas, which includes NGLs). Please see “Prospectus Summary—Recent Developments—Recent Well Results.”

(1) We have estimated our drilling locations based on well spacing assumptions for the areas in which we operate and other criteria. The drilling locations on which we actually drill will depend on the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, commodity prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors. Any drilling activities we are able to conduct on these identified locations may not be successful and may not result in our adding additional proved reserves to our existing proved reserves. See ‘‘Risk Factors—Our identified drilling locations are scheduled over many years, making them susceptible to uncertainties that could materially alter the occurrence or timing of their drilling. In addition, we may not be able to raise the substantial amount of capital that would be necessary to drill such locations.” We have not identified any drilling locations at this time on our substantial leasehold positions in the Southern Delaware Basin and only 20 vertical locations in Gaines County in the Midland Basin, due to our limited operating history in these areas.
(2)

Our total identified vertical drilling locations include 594 vertical locations on 80- and 40- acre spacing and 11 vertical locations on 20-acre spacing associated with proved undeveloped reserves as of December 31, 2013. Of these 605 vertical locations, 434 are in our Midland Basin-Core area and 171 are in our Midland Basin-Tier I area. The remaining 1,000 vertical drilling locations on 80- and 40- acre spacing and the 1,975 vertical drilling locations on 20-acre spacing were identified by our engineering and geoscience staff but as of yet have no associated proved reserves.

(3) Our Midland Basin-Core area contains areas of Andrews, Glasscock, Howard, Martin, Midland, Reagan and Upton Counties. Our Midland Basin-Tier 1 area includes areas of Andrews, Borden, Crane, Dawson, Ector, Glasscock, Howard, Irion, Martin, Midland, Reagan and Upton Counties. Our Midland Basin-Other area includes portions of Andrews, Dawson and Gaines Counties. Our Southern Delaware Basin includes portions of Pecos and Reeves Counties.
(4) Our target horizontal location count implies 724’ to 870’ between well spacing which is equivalent to five to six wells per 640-acre section per prospective interval. The ultimate spacing may be less than these amounts, which would result in a higher location count, or greater than these amounts, which would result in a lower location count.
(5) Based on spud to release times consistent with our 2013 drilling program and a continuous eight-rig vertical drilling program.
(6) Based on a continuous six-rig horizontal drilling program and an estimated spud to release time of 32 days.

We believe the experience gained from our historical vertical drilling program and the information obtained from the results of extensive industry drilling across the Permian Basin have reduced the geological risk and uncertainty associated with drilling vertical wells on our acreage. Our horizontal drilling program is intended to further capture the upside potential that may exist on our properties and increase our well performance and recoveries as compared to drilling vertical wells alone.

As of December 31, 2013, our estimated proved oil and natural gas reserves were 54.8 MMBoe based on a reserve report prepared by NSAI, our independent reserve engineers. Our proved reserves are approximately 54% oil, 23% natural gas liquids, 23% natural gas and 43% proved developed.

PV-10 was prepared using SEC pricing discounted at 10% per annum, without giving effect to taxes or hedges. PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to our investors as supplemental disclosure to the standardized measure of future net cash flows, or after tax amount, because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our reserves prior to taking into account future corporate income taxes and our current tax structure. While the standardized measure is dependent on the unique tax situation of each company, PV-10 is based on a pricing methodology and discount factors that are consistent for all companies. Moreover, GAAP does not provide a

Table of Contents
 

measure of estimated future net cash flows for reserves other than proved reserves or for proved, probable or possible reserves calculated using prices other than SEC prices. PV-10 does not take into account the effect of future taxes. Investors should be cautioned that neither PV-10 nor standardized measure represents an estimate of the fair market value of our proved reserves. For a reconciliation of PV-10 of proved reserves based on SEC pricing to standardized measure, see “Summary—Summary Historical Consolidated and Combined Financial Data—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Our Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to increase shareholder value through the following:

 

   

Grow reserves, production and cash flow by exploiting our liquids rich resource base . We intend to selectively develop our acreage base in an effort to maximize its value and resource potential. We intend to pursue drilling opportunities that offer competitive returns that we consider to be low risk based on production history and industry activity in the area, and repeatable as a result of well-defined geological properties over a large area. Through the conversion of our resource base to developed reserves, we will seek to increase our reserves, production and cash flow while generating favorable returns on invested capital. As of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis, we have identified 1,594 80- and 40-acre potential vertical drilling locations, 1,986 20-acre potential vertical drilling locations and 1,681 potential horizontal drilling locations on our existing acreage, which only includes 20 vertical locations in our Gaines County (Midland Basin) and no locations in our Southern Delaware Basin acreage. As we expand our drilling program to our undeveloped Gaines County (Midland Basin) and Southern Delaware Basin acreage, we expect to identify additional vertical and horizontal drilling locations on those properties.

 

   

Optimize our low risk vertical drilling program and capture potential horizontal development opportunities . Our large scale drilling program has historically focused on optimizing our vertical drilling and completion techniques across our Midland Basin acreage. We intend to continue drilling on 80-acre spacing to hold leases by production and to conduct infill drilling on 40-acre downspacing, which generally increases the recovery factor per section and enhances returns because infrastructure is typically in place. We believe opportunities for increased well density exist across our acreage base for both our horizontal and vertical drilling programs and that horizontal drilling may be economical in areas where vertical drilling is currently not economical or logistically viable. We intend to target multiple benches within the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline) and Atoka shales with horizontal wells and believe our horizontal drilling program may significantly increase our recoveries per section as compared to drilling vertical wells alone.

 

   

Improve operational and cost efficiency by maintaining control of our production . We currently operate approximately 99% of the wells in which we have an interest and intend to maintain operational control of substantially all of our producing properties. We believe that retaining control of our production will enable us to increase recovery rates, lower well costs, improve drilling performance, and increase ultimate hydrocarbon recovery through optimization of our drilling and completion techniques. Our management team regularly evaluates our operating results against those of other operators in the area in an effort to improve our performance and implement best practices. We have reduced the average time from spud to rig release for our vertical Spraberry and Wolfberry wells from approximately 18 days during 2011 to approximately 15.8 days in the first quarter of 2014. Our average total depth of wells drilled in 2013 was 11,350 feet. We have also reduced our total drilling, completion, and facilities costs from a peak average of $2.4 million per well in the first quarter of 2012 to an average of $1.9 million per well in the fourth quarter of 2013. This decrease was driven primarily by a reduction in hydraulic fracturing costs and efficiencies gained through economies of scale over this time period.

 

   

Pursue additional leasing and strategic acquisitions . We intend to focus primarily on increasing our acreage position through leasing in our Midland Basin-Core area, while selectively pursuing other acquisition opportunities that meet our strategic and financial objectives. Our acreage position extends through what we believe is the stacked pay core of the Midland Basin and we believe we can

economically and efficiently add and integrate additional acreage into our current operations. We have a proven history of acquiring leasehold positions in the Permian Basin that have substantial oil-weighted resource potential and believe our management team’s extensive experience operating in the Midland Basin provides us with a competitive advantage in identifying leasing opportunities and acquisition targets and evaluating resource potential.

 

   

Maintain financial flexibility . We intend to maintain a conservative financial position to allow us to develop our drilling, exploitation and exploration activities and maximize the present value of our oil-weighted resource potential. We intend to fund our growth with cash flow from operations, liquidity under our revolving credit facility and access to capital markets over time. As of March 31, 2014, after giving effect to this offering and the use of the proceeds therefrom, we will have $615.0 million of liquidity, with $287.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $327.2 million of available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. Consistent with our disciplined approach to financial management, we have an active commodity hedging program that seeks to hedge approximately 40% to 60% of our expected oil production on a rolling 24 to 36 month basis, reducing our exposure to downside commodity price fluctuations and enabling us to protect cash flows and maintain liquidity to fund our capital program and investment opportunities. In addition, as a result of the recent increase in natural gas prices, we have hedged approximately 1,800,000 MMBtu and 3,600,000 MMBtu of our expected 2014 and 2015 natural gas production, respectively.

Our Strengths

We believe that the following strengths will help us achieve our business goals:

 

   

Liquids rich, multi-year vertical drilling inventory in the core of one of North America’s leading oil resource plays . All of our leasehold acreage is located in one of the most prolific resource plays in North America, the Permian Basin in West Texas. The majority of our current properties in the Midland Basin are positioned in what we believe to be the stacked pay fairway of the Spraberry, Wolfberry and Wolftoka Trends. We have identified a multi-year inventory of potential drilling locations for our oil-weighted reserves that we believe provides attractive growth and return opportunities. We view our identified vertical drilling inventory in the Midland Basin as substantially “de-risked” based on our extensive drilling and production history in the area and well-established industry activity surrounding our acreage. As of December 31, 2013, our estimated net proved reserves consisted of approximately 54% oil, 23% natural gas liquids and 23% natural gas.

 

   

Extensive horizontal development potential . We believe there are a significant number of horizontal locations on our acreage that will allow us to target the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline) and Atoka shales. In addition, based on our analysis of data acquired through our vertical drilling program and the activities of offset operators, we believe that multiple benches contained within our acreage may have significant resource potential, which could substantially increase the ultimate Southern hydrocarbon recovery of each surface acre we have under leasehold. Excluding our Gaines County (Midland Basin) and Delaware Basin acreage, on a pro forma basis, we had 1,681 identified potential horizontal drilling locations as of March 31, 2014. During 2013, we spud our first horizontal well in the Wolfcamp B interval across North Upton and Southern Midland Counties and plan to ramp up to five horizontal rigs by the first quarter of 2015. We currently expect to drill 26 additional gross (19 net) horizontal wells during 2014. As we continue to expand our vertical drilling program to our undeveloped acreage in Gaines County (Midland Basin) and the Southern Delaware Basin, we expect to identify additional horizontal drilling locations.

 

   

Incentivized management team with substantial technical and operational expertise . Our management team has a proven track record of executing on multi-rig development drilling programs and extensive experience in the Spraberry, Wolfberry and Wolftoka Trends of the Permian Basin. Our chief executive officer, Bryan Sheffield, is a third generation oil and gas executive, and our management team has previous experience at Parker and Parsley, Concho, Chesapeake, and Pioneer. We have also assembled a

technical team that includes seven petroleum engineers and four geologists with an average of fifteen years of experience, which we believe will be of strategic importance as we continue to expand our future exploration and development plans. After giving effect to this offering, our management team will hold approximately 43.0% of our ownership interest and will be our largest shareholder group. We believe our management team’s significant ownership interest provides meaningful incentive to increase the value of our business for the benefit of all shareholders.

 

   

Operating control over approximately 99% of our production . As of March 31, 2014, we operated approximately 99% of the wells in which we have an interest. We believe that maintaining control of our production enables us to dictate the pace of development and better manage the cost, type and timing of exploration, exploitation and development activities Our leasehold position is comprised primarily of properties that we operate and, excluding our Gaines County (Midland Basin) and Southern Delaware Basin acreage, on a pro forma basis, includes an estimated 1,594 80- and 40-acre potential vertical drilling locations, 1,986 20-acre potential vertical drilling locations and 1,681 identified potential horizontal drilling locations.

 

   

Conservative balance sheet . We expect to maintain financial flexibility that will allow us to develop our drilling activities and selectively pursue acquisitions. After consummation of the transactions contemplated by this prospectus, we expect to have no debt outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $327.2 million of available borrowing capacity under our borrowing base. We believe this borrowing capacity, along with our cash flow from operations, will provide us with sufficient liquidity to execute on our current capital program.

Our History

We commenced operations in August 2008 as the contract operator of 109 legacy wells, 98 of which are still active and we currently operate that were drilled in the Spraberry Trend by Parker and Parsley, one of the first movers in the Permian Basin. At the time we commenced operations, we did not have a working interest in any of these legacy wells. In 2009, we began to acquire leasehold acreage and drilled and operated wells on this newly-acquired acreage in exchange for small carried interests in the wells. We commenced our drilling program in Upton County in November 2009 with one vertical drilling rig; as of March 31, 2014, we were running nine vertical drilling rigs and one horizontal drilling rig. In 2011, we supplemented our traditional leasing activities through the acquisition of farm out acreage targeting the Spraberry Trend, which allowed us to participate in new wells with a higher working interest. As we continued to acquire additional acreage over time, we began to retain up to 100% of the working interest in new wells being drilled. We also focused on acquiring working interests from our partners. Additionally, we began to supplement our organic growth by strategically acquiring properties from third parties, with a focus on acquiring leasehold with minimal production but high development potential. Through these actions, we steadily increased our average working interest in the wells we operate. As of March 31, 2014, our average working interest in our producing wells, including the 98 legacy wells, is approximately 49%, or 59% excluding legacy operated wells. We expect the average working interest in wells we plan to drill during 2014 will be approximately 75 to 85%.

Our Properties

Our properties are located in the West Texas portion of the Permian Basin. As of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis, our acreage position consisted of 111,644 net acres, 89,344 of which are in the Midland Basin and 22,300 of which are in the Delaware Basin, approximately 32% of which is held by production. We believe we can hold substantially all of our acreage through a continuous four-rig vertical drilling program. As of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis, we have interests in 555 gross (271 net) producing wells, of which we operate 99%. Of these wells, 402 were drilled by us since initiating our drilling program in November 2009. The table below sets forth our identified drilling locations in the Midland Basin as of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis.

The Permian Basin is an area that extends through multiple counties in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas and covers an area some 250 miles wide and 300 miles long. It is comprised of three main sub-areas, the Delaware Basin, the Central Basin Platform, and the Midland Basin. The Permian Basin is characterized by oil and liquids rich gas production. According to the Texas Railroad Commission, over 29 billion barrels of oil and 75 trillion cubic feet of gas have been produced in the Permian Basin since the first producing well was drilled in 1921 in Mitchell County. Historically, conventional reservoirs have been targeted and successfully produced in all three sub-areas. Over the past 30 years, there has been an increase in multi-stage fracturing treatments targeting and commingling production from multiple tight, stacked pay, unconventional formations. With the advent of horizontal drilling and the application of multi-stage fracture treatments within one horizontal well bore, activity has increased drastically targeting one unconventional formation at a time for production.

Midland Basin

Throughout the middle and late Pennsylvanian period, the Midland Basin was a very shallow and generally poorly defined area dominated by marine shale and limestone deposition. Organic content of the marine shale increased as the basin slowly subsided. Tectonic uplift of the Central Basin Platform and coincident emergence

of the Eastern Shelf during the early Permian period brought greater definition to the Midland Basin as a distinct physiographic feature. Slow subsidence and basin filling with organic shale and limestones continued to dominate deposition. During middle Permian period more emergent surrounding shelf areas to the northwest and south-southwest contributed thick volumes of clastic sand that molded with the shale and limestones and formed the widespread Spraberry formation throughout the Permian Basin. In the later Permian time period, there was basin-wide infilling and subsequent burial with massive evaporate deposition.

The Midland Basin has historically been characterized by production from its most prolific field, the Spraberry Trend Area. The Spraberry Trend Area has been heavily drilled since the discovery of the Seaboard No. 2-D Lee well in Dawson County in 1949. The field stretches over 150 miles North to South and over 75 miles East to West. According to Texas Railroad Commission, over 1.1 billion barrels of oil have been produced in this field alone as of March 2013. Additionally, activity targeting the deeper Wolfcamp formation increased dramatically after Henry Petroleum started drilling fully through the Wolfcamp formation in the early 2000s. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, many operators, including Parsley, had success commingling still deeper production from the Upper Pennsylvanian (Cline), Strawn, and Atoka formations. Concurrently, operators started testing zones singularly with horizontal wells and multi-stage treatments. To date, the majority of these wells in the Midland Basin target the Upper Pennsylvanian and Wolfcamp formations. There have also been successful horizontal tests in the Clearfork, Spraberry, and Atoka formations.

Core Area Descriptions

We group our assets by area based on similar geologic, economic and technical requirements. We split our assets into four areas, the Midland Basin-Core, Midland Basin-Tier 1, Midland Basin-Other and Southern Delaware Basin. The description below of our assets in the Midland Basin are on a pro forma basis.

Midland Basin-Core

Our Midland Basin-Core assets are characterized by being in the modern day sedimentary deep portion of the Midland basin resulting in multiple stacked pay benches ranging from the Clearfork to the Atoka formations. Generally, well drilling and completion costs are slightly higher in the Midland Basin-Core area due to design for deeper depths and higher pressures. Our Midland Basin-Core contains areas of Andrews, Glasscock, Howard, Martin, Midland, Reagan and Upton Counties.

As of March 31, 2014, we have 36,729 net acres in our Midland Basin-Core area. Approximately 58% of our acreage in this area is held by production. We have interests in 380 producing wells in our Midland Basin-Core area as of March 31, 2014 and we operate 99% of the wells in which we have an interest. Since initiating our drilling program, we have drilled 259 wells in this area. The table below sets forth our identified drilling locations in the Midland Basin-Core as of March 31, 2014 on a pro forma basis.

Midland Basin-Tier I

Our Midland Basin-Tier 1 assets are characterized by being in a shallower modern day sedimentary portion of the Midland Basin than our Midland Basin-Core. The southern boundary is the Big Lake Fault, the western boundary is the Central Basin Platform, the northern boundary is the Horseshoe Atoll and the Eastern boundary is the transition to the Eastern Shelf. Due to lower pressures and shallower depths, well drilling and completion costs tend to be slightly lower than the Midland Basin-Core. Our Midland Basin-Tier 1 includes areas of Andrews, Borden, Crane, Dawson, Ector, Glasscock, Howard, Irion, Martin, Midland, Reagan and Upton Counties.

As of March 31, 2014, we have 26,608 net acres in our Midland Basin-Tier I area. Approximately 37.5% of our acreage in this area is held by production. We have interests in 166 producing wells in our Midland Basin-Tier I area as of March 31, 2014 and operate 91%, of the wells in which we have an interest. Since initiating our drilling program, we have drilled 143 (gross) wells in this area. The table below sets forth our identified drilling locations in the Midland Basin-Tier I as of March 31, 2014, on a pro forma basis.

Midland Basin-Other

Our Midland Basin-Other assets are characterized as assets that we have limited operating activity in which still fall within the Midland Basin. Over time, as our operating results dictate, we may reclassify these areas based on geologic, economic and technical results. Our Midland Basin-Other includes portions of Andrews, Dawson and Gaines Counties.

As of March 31, 2014, we have 26,007 net acres in our Midland Basin-Other area. None of our acreage in this area is held by production. We had no producing wells in our Midland Basin-Other area as of March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, we have identified 108 (76 net) 80- and 40-acre potential vertical drilling locations and 88 (56 net) 20-acre potential vertical drilling locations on our properties in our Midland Basin-Other area. We have attributed no horizontal drilling locations at this time and only 20 vertical locations to our leasehold position in Gaines County due to our limited operating history in the area. As our operating history and industry activity increases in the area, we expect to identify additional locations.

Delaware Basin

From the mid-Pennsylvanian period to the early Permian period, the Delaware Basin was a slowly subsiding area that was characterized by shallow marine shales and limestones. Influxes of clastic sands generally occurred as turbidite deposits formed during periodic sea-level changes. Records indicate a rapid deepening of the Delaware Basin relative to the emergent Central Basin Platform, during the early Permian period. Marine shale deposition continued to dominate the basin during this period. Episodic pulses of carbonate and clastic debris and density flows punctuated the shale deposition and eventually became significant reservoirs. Through the late Permian period, the basin became increasingly more clastic dominated as emergent shelf areas to the north shed sands into the basin.

None of our reserves, production or producing well count is attributed to acreage in the Delaware Basin. We hold a leasehold position in 24,710 gross (22,300 net) acres in the Delaware Basin which we call our Trees Ranch Prospect. We believe our leasehold is prospective for Pennsylvanian aged production, based on historical shows and well tests in the Pennsylvanian and Permian (Wolfcamp) aged rocks on our leasehold. We commenced a three-well vertical appraisal program with one rig in the first quarter of 2014. Upon evaluating results, we will make a determination as to future development plans.

Southern Delaware Basin

Our Southern Delaware Basin assets are an area bounded on the East and Northeast by the Central Basin Platform, on the West by the Waha field and to the south by the Gomez field. This area is locally known as the Coyanosa Basin. Our Southern Delaware Basin includes portions of Pecos and Reeves Counties.

Production Status

For the month ended April 30, 2014, on a pro forma basis, net production from our Midland Basin acreage was 332.8 MBoe, or an average of 12,852 Boe/d, of which 52% was oil and 48% was natural gas and NGLs. From January 1, 2014 through March 31, 2014, our average daily net production from our Midland Basin acreage, was 9,734 Boe/d, of which 54% was from oil and 46% was from natural gas and natural gas liquids. We had no production from our Central Basin or Delaware Basin properties.

Facilities

Our land-based oil and gas processing facilities are typical of those found in the Permian Basin. Our facilities located at well locations or centralized lease locations include storage tank batteries, oil/gas/water separation equipment and pumping units.

Recent and Future Activity

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, 40 gross (33 net) vertical wells were spud on our Midland Basin acreage for an aggregate estimated net cost of $69.3 million. We currently expect to drill an estimated 164 gross (138 net) vertical wells and 26 gross (19 net) horizontal wells on our acreage in 2014. The wells are expected to be drilled to approximately 11,800 feet at an estimated average drilling and completion gross well cost of approximately $1.8 million to $1.95 million per vertical well and $7 million to $9 million per horizontal well with lateral lengths ranging from 4,500 to 9,500 feet.

On a pro forma basis, as of March 31, 2014, we have identified 1,594 80- and 40-acre potential vertical drilling locations, 1,986 20-acre potential vertical drilling locations and 1,681 potential horizontal drilling locations on our existing acreage, which only includes 20 vertical locations in our Gaines County (Midland Basin) and no locations in our Southern Delaware Basin acreage. Our target horizontal location count implies 724’ to 870’ between well spacing which is equivalent to five to six wells per 640-acre section per prospective interval. In this prospectus, we define identified potential drilling locations as locations specifically identified by management based on evaluation of applicable geologic and engineering data accrued over our multi-year historical drilling activities. The availability of local infrastructure, drilling support assets and other factors as management may deem relevant, such as easement restrictions and state and local regulations, are considered in determining such locations. The drilling locations on which we actually drill wells will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results and other factors.

Evaluation and Review of Proved Reserves . Our historical proved reserve estimates as of December 31, 2013 were prepared based on a report by NSAI, our independent petroleum engineers. In addition, NSAI audited the reserve estimates for the Pacer Acquisition prepared by our in-house petroleum engineers. Within NSAI, the technical person primarily responsible for preparing the estimates set forth in the NSAI summary reserve report incorporated herein is Mr. James E. Ball. Mr. Ball has been practicing consulting petroleum engineering at NSAI since 1998. Mr. Ball is a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Texas (License No. 57700) and has over 33 years of practical experience in petroleum engineering, with over 26 years of experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserves. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Petroleum Engineering. As technical principal, Mr. Ball meets or exceeds the education, training, and experience requirements set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and is proficient in applying industry standard practices to engineering evaluations as well as applying SEC and other industry reserves definitions and guidelines. NSAI does not own an interest in any of our properties, nor is it employed by us on a contingent basis. A copy of NSAI’s proved reserve report as of December 31, 2013 and audit letter with respect to the Pacer Acquisition, dated May 1, 2014, is attached hereto as an exhibit. Our historical proved reserve estimates as of December 31, 2012 are derived from internal estimates that were prepared by our in-house petroleum engineers, in accordance with (i) the same methodology utilized by NSAI in preparing the NSAI Report and (ii) the rules and regulations of the SEC.

We maintain an internal staff of petroleum engineers and geoscience professionals who worked closely with our independent reserve engineers to ensure the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of the data used to calculate our proved reserves relating to our assets in the Permian Basin. Our internal technical team members meet with our independent reserve engineers periodically during the period covered by the proved reserve report to discuss the assumptions and methods used in the proved reserve estimation process. We provide historical information to the independent reserve engineers for our properties, such as ownership interest, oil and natural gas production, well test data, commodity prices and operating and development costs. Matthew Gallagher, our Vice President—Chief Operating Officer, is primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of all of our reserve estimates. Mr. Gallagher is a petroleum engineer with approximately nine years of reservoir and operations experience, and our engineering and geoscience staff have an average of approximately 15 years of industry experience per person.

The preparation of our historical proved reserve estimates are completed in accordance with our internal control procedures. These procedures, which are intended to ensure reliability of reserve estimations, include the following:

 

   

review and verification of historical production data, which data is based on actual production as reported by us;

 

   

preparation of reserve estimates by Mr. Gallagher or under his direct supervision;

 

   

review by our Chief Executive Officer of all of our reported proved reserves at the close of each quarter, including the review of all significant reserve changes and all new PUDs additions; and

 

   

verification of property ownership by our land department.

Estimation of Proved Reserves . Under SEC rules, proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. If deterministic methods are used, the SEC has defined reasonable certainty for proved reserves as a “high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered.” All of our proved reserves as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were estimated using a deterministic method. The estimation of reserves involves two distinct determinations. The first determination results in the estimation of the quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas and the second determination results in the estimation of the uncertainty associated with those estimated quantities in accordance with the definitions established under SEC rules. The process of estimating the quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves relies on the use of certain generally accepted analytical procedures. These analytical procedures fall into four broad categories or methods: (1) production performance-based methods; (2) material balance-based methods; (3) volumetric-based methods; and (4) analogy. These methods may be used singularly or in combination by the reserve evaluator in the process of estimating the quantities of reserves. Reserves for proved developed producing wells were estimated using production performance methods for the vast majority of properties. Certain new producing properties with very little production history were forecast using a combination of production performance and analogy to similar production, both of which are considered to provide a relatively high degree of accuracy. Non-producing reserve estimates, for developed and undeveloped properties, were forecast using either volumetric or analogy methods, or a combination of both. These methods provide a relatively high degree of accuracy for predicting proved developed non-producing and proved undeveloped reserves for our properties, due to the mature nature of the properties targeted for development and an abundance of subsurface control data.

To estimate economically recoverable proved reserves and related future net cash flows, NSAI considered many factors and assumptions, including the use of reservoir parameters derived from geological and engineering data which cannot be measured directly, economic criteria based on current costs and the SEC pricing requirements and forecasts of future production rates.

Under SEC rules, reasonable certainty can be established using techniques that have been proven effective by actual production from projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir or by other evidence using reliable technology that establishes reasonable certainty. Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. To establish reasonable certainty with respect to our estimated proved reserves, the technologies and economic data used in the estimation of our proved reserves have been demonstrated to yield results with consistency and repeatability, and include production and well test data, downhole completion information, geologic data, electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, historical well cost and operating expense data.

Reserve engineering is and must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating volumes of economically recoverable oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation. As a result, the estimates of different engineers often vary. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production may justify revisions of such estimates. Accordingly, reserve estimates often differ from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas and of future net revenues are based on a number of variables and assumptions, all of which may vary from actual results, including geologic interpretation, prices and future production rates and costs. Please read “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Additional information regarding our proved reserves can be found in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and the proved reserve report as of December 31, 2013, which is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Proved Undeveloped Reserves (PUDs)

As of December 31, 2013 our proved undeveloped reserves were composed of 15,947 MBbls of oil, 46,517 MMcf of natural gas and 7,595 MBbls of NGLs, for a total of 31,295 MBoe. PUDs will be converted from undeveloped to developed as the applicable wells begin production.

The following table summarizes our changes in PUDs during the year ended December 31, 2013 (in MBoe):

 

Balance, December 31, 2012

     12,984   

Purchases of reserves

     10,144   

Extensions and discoveries

     15,080

Transfers to proved developed

     (5,764)   
  

 

 

 

Balance, December 31, 2013

     31,295   
  

 

 

 

Extensions and discoveries of 15,080 MBoe during the year ended December 31, 2013, resulted primarily from the drilling of new wells during the year and from new proved undeveloped locations added during the year.

Costs incurred relating to the development of locations that were classified as PUDs at December 31, 2012 were $78.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. Additionally, during 2013 we spent approximately $189.5 million drilling and completing other in-field wells which weren’t classified as PUDs as of December 31, 2012. Estimated future development costs relating to the development of PUDs at December 31, 2013 were projected to be approximately $78.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2014, $110.7 million in 2015, $62.7 million in 2016, $112.5 million in 2017 and $127.8 million in 2018. As we continue to develop our properties and have more well production and completion data, we believe we will continue to realize cost savings and experience lower relative drilling and completion costs as we convert PUDs into proved developed reserves in upcoming years. All of our PUD drilling locations are scheduled to be drilled within five years of their initial booking.

As of December 31, 2013, approximately 6% of our total proved reserves were classified as proved developed non-producing.

Productive Wells

As of March 31, 2014 we owned an average 50% working interest in 594 gross (297 net) productive wells. Productive wells consist of producing wells and wells capable of production, including oil wells awaiting connection to production facilities. Gross wells are the total number of producing wells in which we have an interest, and net wells are the sum of our fractional working interests owned in gross wells.

Developed and Undeveloped Acreage

The following tables set forth information as of May 1, 2014 relating to our leasehold acreage on a pro forma basis. Developed acreage is acres spaced or assigned to productive wells and does not include undrilled acreage held by production under the terms of the lease. Undeveloped acreage is acres on which wells have not

been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil or natural gas, regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves. A gross acre is an acre in which a working interest is owned. The number of gross acres is the total number of acres in which a working interest is owned. A net acre is deemed to exist when the sum of the fractional ownership working interests in gross acres equals one. The number of net acres is the sum of the fractional working interests owned in gross acres expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof.

Many of the leases comprising the undeveloped acreage set forth in the table above will expire at the end of their respective primary terms unless production from the leasehold acreage has been established prior to such date, in which event the lease will remain in effect until the cessation of production. All of the leases governing our acreage have continuous development clauses that permit us to continue to hold the acreage under such leases after the expiration of the primary term if we initiate additional development within 60 to 180 days of the expiration date, without the requirement of a lease extension payment. Thereafter, the lease is held with additional development every 60 to 180 days until the entire lease is held by production. None of our 605 vertical drilling locations associated with proved undeveloped reserves are scheduled for drilling outside of a lease term that is not accounted for with a continuous development schedule. We do not have any horizontal drilling locations associated with proved undeveloped reserves. The following table sets forth the gross and net undeveloped acreage, as of May 1, 2014 on a pro forma basis, that will expire over the next five years unless production is established within the spacing units covering the acreage or the lease is renewed or extended under continuous drilling provisions prior to the primary term expiration dates.

Drilling Results

The following table sets forth information with respect to the number of wells completed during the periods indicated. All the wells included in the table are vertical wells. The information should not be considered indicative of future performance, nor should it be assumed that there is necessarily any correlation between the number of productive wells drilled, quantities of reserves found or economic value. Productive wells are those that produce commercial quantities of hydrocarbons, whether or not they produce a reasonable rate of return.

(1) Although a well may be classified as productive upon completion, future changes in oil and natural gas prices, operating costs and production may result in the well becoming uneconomical, particularly exploratory wells where there is no production history.

As of December 31, 2013 we had 6 gross (5.1 net) wells in the process of drilling, 12 gross (8.3 net) wells awaiting frac procedures, and 8 gross (5.0 net) wells in the process of completing that are not reflected in the above table. All of these wells are vertical wells. In addition to our vertical drilling program in the Midland Basin, we spud one horizontal well during the fourth quarter of 2013 that reached total depth in January 2014 and is now on production.

Operations

General

As of March 31, 2014, we operated approximately 99% of the wells in which we have an interest. As operator, we design and manage the development of a well and supervise operation and maintenance activities on a day-to-day basis. Independent contractors engaged by us provide all the equipment and personnel associated with these activities. We employ petroleum engineers, geologists and land professionals who work to improve production rates, increase reserves and lower the cost of operating our oil and natural gas properties.

Marketing and Customers

We market the majority of the production from properties we operate for both our account and the account of the other working interest owners in these properties. We sell our production to purchasers at market prices.

We normally sell production to a relatively small number of customers, as is customary in the exploration, development and production business. For the year ended December 31, 2013, four purchasers, Enterprise Crude Oil, LLC (“Enterprise”), Plains Marketing, LP (“Plains”), Atlas Pipeline Mid – Continent WestTex, LLC

 

101


Table of Contents

(“Atlas”) and Permian Transport & Trading (“PTT”), each accounted for more than 10% of our revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, five purchasers each accounted for more than 10% of our revenue: Enterprise, Plains, Shell Trading (US) Company, Atlas and PTT. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue during these periods. If a major customer decided to stop purchasing oil and natural gas from us, revenue could decline and our operating results and financial condition could be harmed. However, based on the current demand for oil and natural gas, and the availability of other purchasers, we believe that the loss of any one or all of our major purchasers would not have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, as crude oil and natural gas are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous purchasers.

Transportation

During the initial development of our fields, we consider all gathering and delivery infrastructure in the areas of our production. Our oil is transported from the wellhead to our tank batteries by our gathering systems. The oil is then transported by the purchaser by truck or pipeline to a tank farm, another pipeline or a refinery. Our natural gas is transported from the wellhead to the purchaser’s meter and pipeline interconnection point through our gathering system.

In addition, we move the majority of our produced water by pipeline connected to commercial salt water disposal wells rather than by truck. However, due to the inaccessibility of certain of our wells, some produced water will likely always be required to be taken away by truck. We believe that the completion of gathering systems, the connection to salt water disposal wells and other actions will help us to reduce our lease operating expense in future periods.

Competition

The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and we compete with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also carry on midstream and refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects or to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low oil and natural gas market prices. Our larger or more integrated competitors may be able to absorb the burden of existing, and any changes to, federal, state and local laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because we have fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing oil and natural gas properties.

There is also competition between oil and natural gas producers and other industries producing energy and fuel. Furthermore, competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation considered from time to time by the governments of the United States and the jurisdictions in which we operate. It is not possible to predict the nature of any such legislation or regulation which may ultimately be adopted or its effects upon our future operations. Such laws and regulations may substantially increase the costs of exploring for, developing or producing oil and natural gas and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation. Our larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of existing, and any changes to, federal, state and local laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position.

Title to Properties

As is customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we initially conduct only a cursory review of the title to our properties in connection with acquisition of leasehold acreage. At such time as we determine to conduct drilling operations on those properties, we conduct a thorough title examination and perform curative work with respect to significant defects prior to commencement of drilling operations. To the extent title opinions or other investigations reflect title defects on those properties, we are typically responsible for curing any title defects at our expense. We generally will not commence drilling operations on a property until we have cured any material title defects on such property. We have obtained title opinions on substantially all of our producing properties and believe that we have satisfactory title to our producing properties in accordance with standards generally accepted in the oil and natural gas industry.

Prior to completing an acquisition of producing oil and natural gas leases, we perform title reviews on the most significant leases and, depending on the materiality of properties, we may obtain a title opinion, obtain an updated title review or opinion or review previously obtained title opinions. Our oil and natural gas properties are subject to customary royalty and other interests, liens for current taxes and other burdens which we believe do not materially interfere with the use of or affect our carrying value of the properties.

We believe that we have satisfactory title to all of our material assets. Although title to these properties is subject to encumbrances in some cases, such as customary interests generally retained in connection with the acquisition of real property, customary royalty interests and contract terms and restrictions, liens under operating agreements, liens related to environmental liabilities associated with historical operations, liens for current taxes and other burdens, easements, restrictions and minor encumbrances customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we believe that none of these liens, restrictions, easements, burdens and encumbrances will materially detract from the value of these properties or from our interest in these properties or materially interfere with our use of these properties in the operation of our business. In addition, we believe that we have obtained sufficient rights-of-way grants and permits from public authorities and private parties for us to operate our business in all material respects as described in this prospectus.

Seasonality of Business

Weather conditions affect the demand for, and prices of, oil and natural gas. Demand for oil and natural gas is typically higher in the fourth and first quarters resulting in higher prices. Due to these seasonal fluctuations, results of operations for individual quarterly periods may not be indicative of the results that may be realized on an annual basis.

Oil and Natural Gas Leases

The typical oil and natural gas lease agreement covering our properties provides for the payment of royalties to the mineral owner for all oil and natural gas produced from any wells drilled on the leased premises. The lessor royalties and other leasehold burdens on our properties generally range from 20% to 25%, resulting in a net revenue interest to us generally ranging from 75% to 80%.

Regulation of the Oil and Natural Gas Industry

Our operations are substantially affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the industry increases the cost of doing business and affects profitability. Although we believe we are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, such laws and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted. Therefore, we are unable to predict the future costs or impact of compliance. Additional proposals and proceedings that affect the oil and natural gas industry are regularly considered by Congress, the states, the FERC and the courts. We cannot predict when or whether any such proposals may become effective.

Markets for Sale of Production

Our ability to market oil and natural gas found and produced, if any, will depend on numerous factors beyond our control, the effect of which factors cannot be accurately predicted or anticipated. Some of these factors include, without limitation the availability of other domestic and foreign production, the marketing of competitive fuels, the proximity and capacity of pipelines, fluctuations in supply and demand, the availability of a ready market, the effect of United States federal and state regulation of production, refining, transportation and sales and general national and worldwide economic conditions. Additionally, we may experience delays in marketing natural gas production and fluctuations in natural gas prices, and the program manager may experience short-term delays in marketing oil due to trucking and refining constraints. There is no assurance that we will be able to market any oil or natural gas produced, or, if such oil or natural gas is marketed, that favorable prices can be obtained.

The United States natural gas market has undergone several significant changes over the past few decades. The majority of federal price ceilings were removed in 1985 and the remainder were lifted by the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act of 1989. Thus, currently, the United States natural gas market is operating in a free market environment in which the price of gas is determined by market forces rather than by regulations. At the same time, the domestic natural gas industry has also seen a dramatic change in the manner in which gas is bought, sold and transported. In most cases, natural gas is no longer sold to a pipeline company. Instead, the pipeline company now serves the role of transporter primarily, and gas producers are free to sell their product to marketers, local distribution companies, end users or a combination thereof.

Recently, natural gas prices have been under considerable pressure due to supply excesses. Specifically, increased efficiencies in horizontal drilling combined with exploration of newly developed shale fields in North America have dramatically increased annual domestic natural gas production, which has led to significantly lower market prices for natural gas. However, some produced natural gas contains within its stream natural gas liquids, which can be processed and stripped from the produced gas and marketed separately. These natural gas liquids, such as propane, butane and ethane, generally bring a price premium over dry natural gas. As a result, the drilling program will be favorably affected if the production includes a significant amount of natural gas liquids. There is no guarantee that we, through our drilling program, will be successful at drilling wells that produce natural gas liquids. It is particularly difficult to estimate accurately future prices of gas, and any assumptions concerning future prices may prove incorrect.

The United States average daily production of crude oil declined from 9.6 million barrels in 1970 to approximately 4.95 million barrels in 2008 as a result of decreased drilling activity in the United States, the plugging and abandoning of wells and restrictions on access to potential drilling sites by governmental agencies. Over the last five years, however, as a result of new technology, such as hydraulic fracturing, and rising oil prices, the United States average daily production of crude oil has risen, and the U.S. Energy Department projects that daily output will continue to increase.

The United States import levels for oil have decreased since reaching a peak in 2005, when imports averaged approximately 60% in 2005.

In view of the many uncertainties affecting the supply and demand for oil, gas and refined petroleum products, we are unable to predict future oil and natural gas prices or the overall effect, if any, that the decline in demand for and the oversupply of such products will have on the partnership.

Regulation Affecting Production

Natural gas production and related operations are, or have been, subject to price controls, taxes and numerous other laws and regulations. All of the jurisdictions in which we own or operate producing oil and natural gas

 

104


Table of Contents

properties have statutory provisions regulating the exploration for and production of oil and natural gas, including provisions related to permits for the drilling of wells, bonding requirements to drill or operate wells, the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, sourcing and disposal of water used in the drilling and completion process, and the abandonment of wells. Our operations are also subject to various conservation laws and regulations. These include the regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units, the number of wells which may be drilled in an area, and the unitization or pooling of crude oil or natural gas wells, as well as regulations that generally prohibit the venting or flaring of natural gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratability or fair apportionment of production from fields and individual wells. These laws and regulations may limit the amount of oil and gas we can drill. Moreover, each state generally imposes a production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of oil, NGLs and gas within its jurisdiction. States do not regulate wellhead prices or engage in other similar direct regulation, but there can be no assurance that they will not do so in the future. The effect of such future regulations may be to limit the amounts of oil and gas that may be produced from our wells, negatively affect the economics of production from these wells or limit the number of locations we can drill.

Regulation Affecting Sales

The sales prices of oil and natural gas are not presently regulated but rather are set by the market. We cannot predict, however, whether new legislation to regulate the price of energy commodities might be proposed, what proposals, if any, might actually be enacted by Congress or the various state legislatures, and what effect, if any, the proposals might have on the operations of the underlying properties. Sales of oil and natural gas may be subject to certain state, and potentially federal, reporting requirements.

The price and terms of service, including access to pipeline transportation capacity, are subject to extensive federal and state regulation. Such regulation may affect the marketing of oil and natural gas produced by the partnership, as well as the revenues received for sales of such production. Gathering systems may be subject to state ratable take and common purchaser statutes. Ratable take statutes generally require gatherers to take, without undue discrimination, oil and natural gas production that may be tendered to the gatherer for handling. Similarly, common purchaser statutes generally require gatherers to purchase, or accept for gathering, without undue discrimination as to source of supply or producer. These statutes are designed to prohibit discrimination in favor of one producer over another producer or one source of supply over another source of supply. These statutes may affect whether and to what extent gathering capacity is available for oil and natural gas production, if any, of the drilling program and the cost of such capacity. Further state laws and regulations govern rates and terms of access to intrastate pipeline systems, which may similarly affect market access and cost.

The FERC regulates interstate natural gas pipeline transportation rates and service conditions. The FERC is continually proposing and implementing new rules and regulations affecting interstate transportation. The stated purpose of many of these regulatory changes is to promote competition among the various sectors of the natural gas industry and to promote market transparency. The managing partner does not believe that the drilling program will be affected by any such FERC action in a manner materially differently than other similarly situated natural gas producers.

Additionally, pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (“EPAct 2005”) it is unlawful for “any entity,” including producers such as the partnership, that are otherwise not subject to FERC’s jurisdiction under the NGA to use any deceptive or manipulative device or contrivance in connection with the purchase or sale of gas or the purchase or sale of transportation services subject to regulation by FERC, in contravention of rules prescribed by FERC. FERC’s rules implementing this provision make it unlawful, in connection with the purchase or sale of gas subject to the jurisdiction of FERC, or the purchase or sale of transportation services subject to the jurisdiction of FERC, for any entity, directly or indirectly, to use or employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud; to make any untrue statement of material fact or omit to make any such statement necessary to make the statements made not misleading; or to engage in any act or practice that operates as a fraud or deceit upon any person. EPAct 2005 also gives FERC authority to impose civil penalties for violations of the NGA and the

 

105


Table of Contents

Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 up to $1.0 million per day per violation. The anti-manipulation rule applies to activities of otherwise non-jurisdictional entities to the extent the activities are conducted “in connection with” gas sales, purchases or transportation subject to FERC jurisdiction, which includes the annual reporting requirements under Order 704 (defined below).

In December 2007, FERC issued a final rule on the annual natural gas transaction reporting requirements, as amended by subsequent orders on rehearing (“Order 704”). Under Order 704, any market participant, including a producer such as the partnership, that engages in wholesale sales or purchases of gas that equal or exceed 2.2 million MMBtus of physical natural gas in the previous calendar year, must annually report such sales and purchases to FERC on Form No. 552 on May 1 of each year. Form No. 552 contains aggregate volumes of natural gas purchased or sold at wholesale in the prior calendar year to the extent such transactions utilize, contribute to, or may contribute to the formation of price indices. It is the responsibility of the reporting entity to determine which individual transactions should be reported based on the guidance of Order 704. Order 704 is intended to increase the transparency of the wholesale gas markets and to assist FERC in monitoring those markets and in detecting market manipulation.

The FERC also regulates rates and service conditions for interstate transportation of oil under the Interstate Commerce Act (“ICA”). Prices received from the sale of oil may be affected by the cost of transporting those products to market. The ICA requires that pipelines maintain a tariff on file with FERC. The tariff sets forth the established rates as well as the rules and regulations governing the service. The ICA requires, among other things, that rates and terms and conditions of service on interstate common carrier pipelines be “just and reasonable.” Such pipelines must also provide jurisdictional service in a manner that is not unduly discriminatory or unduly preferential. Shippers have the power to challenge new and existing rates and terms and conditions of service before FERC.

Rates of interstate liquids pipelines are currently regulated by FERC primarily through an annual indexing methodology, under which pipelines increase or decrease their rates in accordance with an index adjustment specified by FERC. For the five-year period beginning in 2010, FERC established an annual index adjustment equal to the change in the producer price index for finished goods plus 2.65%. This adjustment is subject to review every five years. Under FERC’s regulations, a liquids pipeline can request a rate increase that exceeds the rate obtained through application of the indexing methodology by using a cost-of-service approach, but only after the pipeline establishes that a substantial divergence exists between the actual costs experienced by the pipeline and the rates resulting from application of the indexing methodology. Increases in liquids transportation rates may result in lower revenue and cash flows for the partnership.

In addition, due to common carrier regulatory obligations of liquids pipelines, capacity must be prorated among shippers in an equitable manner in the event there are nominations in excess of capacity or for new shippers. Therefore, new shippers or increased volume by existing shippers may reduce the capacity available to us. Any prolonged interruption in the operation or curtailment of available capacity of the pipelines that we rely upon for liquids transportation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. However, we believe that access to liquids pipeline transportation services generally will be available to us to the same extent as to our similarly-situated competitors.

Intrastate liquids pipeline transportation rates are subject to regulation by state regulatory commissions. The basis for intrastate liquids pipeline regulation, and the degree of regulatory oversight and scrutiny given to intrastate liquids pipeline rates, varies from state to state. We believe that the regulation of liquids pipeline transportation rates will not affect our operations in any way that is materially different from the effects on our similarly-situated competitors.

In November 2009, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) issued regulations pursuant to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, intended to prohibit market manipulation in the petroleum industry. Violators of the regulations face civil penalties of up to $1 million per violation per day. In July 2010, Congress

 

106


Table of Contents

passed the Dodd-Frank Act, which incorporated an expansion of the authority of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) to prohibit market manipulation in the markets regulated by the CFTC. This authority, with respect to crude oil swaps and futures contracts, is similar to the anti-manipulation authority granted to the FTC with respect to crude oil purchases and sales. In July 2011, the CFTC issued final rules to implement their new anti-manipulation authority. The rules subject violators to a civil penalty of up to the greater of $1 million or triple the monetary gain to the person for each violation.

Sales prices of gas, oil, condensate and NGLs are not currently regulated and are made at market prices. Although prices of these energy commodities are currently unregulated, the United States Congress historically has been active in their regulation. We cannot predict whether new legislation to regulate oil and gas, or the prices charged for these commodities might be proposed, what proposals, if any, might actually be enacted by the United States Congress or the various state legislatures and what effect, if any, the proposals might have on the our operations.

Regulation of Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Matters

Our operations are subject to stringent and complex federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental protection as well as the discharge of materials into the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things (i) require the acquisition of permits to conduct exploration, drilling and production operations; (ii) restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment or injected into formations in connection with oil and natural gas drilling and production activities; (iii) limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas; (iv) require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former and ongoing operations, such as requirements to close pits and plug abandoned wells; and (v) impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from drilling and production operations. Any failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil, and criminal penalties, the imposition of corrective or remedial obligations, and the issuance of orders enjoining performance of some or all of our operations.

These laws and regulations may also restrict the rate of oil and natural gas production below the rate that would otherwise be possible. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases the cost of doing business in the industry and consequently affects profitability. Additionally, the Congress and federal and state agencies frequently revise environmental laws and regulations, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly waste handling, disposal and cleanup requirements for the oil and natural gas industry could have a significant impact on our operating costs.

The clear trend in environmental regulation is to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may affect the environment, and thus any changes in environmental laws and regulations or re-interpretation of enforcement policies that result in more stringent and costly waste handling, storage transport, disposal, or remediation requirements could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. We may be unable to pass on such increased compliance costs to our customers. Moreover, accidental releases or spills may occur in the course of our operations, and we cannot assure you that we will not incur significant costs and liabilities as a result of such releases or spills, including any third-party claims for damage to property, natural resources or persons. While we believe that we are in substantial compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not materially affect us, there is no assurance that this current level of regulation will continue in the future.

The following is a summary of the more significant existing and proposed environmental, health and safety laws and regulations to which our business operations are or may be subject and for which compliance may have a material adverse impact on our capital expenditures, results of operations or financial position.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), and comparable state statutes, regulate the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and cleanup of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Under the auspices of the EPA, the individual states administer some or all of the provisions of RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own, more stringent requirements. Drilling fluids, produced waters, and most of the other wastes associated with the exploration, development, and production of crude oil or natural gas are currently regulated under RCRA’s non-hazardous waste provisions. However, it is possible that certain oil and natural gas drilling and production wastes now classified as non-hazardous could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future. Any such change could result in an increase in our costs to manage and dispose of wastes, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the Superfund law, imposes joint and several liability, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the site where the release occurred and anyone who disposed or arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance released at the site. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third-parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment.

We generate materials in the course of our operations that may be regulated as hazardous substances. Despite the “petroleum exclusion” of CERCLA, which currently encompasses natural gas, we may nonetheless handle hazardous substances within the meaning of CERCLA, or similar state statutes, in the course of our ordinary operations and, as a result, may be jointly and severally liable under CERCLA for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which these hazardous substances have been released into the environment. In addition, we currently own, lease, or operate numerous properties that have been used for oil and natural gas exploration, production and processing for many years. Although we believe that we have utilized operating and waste disposal practices that were standard in the industry at the time, hazardous substances, wastes, or hydrocarbons may have been released on, under or from the properties owned or leased by us, or on, under or from other locations, including off-site locations, where such substances have been taken for disposal. In addition, some of our properties have been operated by third parties or by previous owners or operators whose treatment and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes, or hydrocarbons was not under our control. These properties and the substances disposed or released on, under or from them may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA, and analogous state and local laws. Under such laws, we could be required to undertake response or corrective measures, which could include removal of previously disposed substances and wastes, cleanup of contaminated property or performance of remedial plugging or pit closure operations to prevent future contamination.

Water Discharges

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, or the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), and analogous state laws, impose restrictions and strict controls with respect to the discharge of pollutants, including spills and leaks of oil and other substances, into waters of the United States. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA or an analogous state agency. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with discharge permits or other requirements of the CWA and analogous state laws and regulations. We maintain all required discharge permits necessary to conduct our operations, and we believe we are in substantial compliance with their terms.

 

108


Table of Contents

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA”), amends the Clean Water Act and establishes strict liability for owners and operators of facilities that cause a release of oil into waters of the United States. In addition, OPA requires owners and operators of facilities that store oil above threshold amounts to develop and implement spill prevention, control and countermeasures (“SPCC”) plans. We are currently undertaking a review of recently acquired natural gas properties to determine the need for new or updated SPCC plans and, where necessary, we will be developing or upgrading such plans implementing the physical and operation controls imposed by these plans, the costs of which are not expected to be substantial.

Safe Drinking Water Act

In the course of our operations, we produce water in addition to oil and gas. Water that is not recycled or otherwise disposed of on the lease may be sent to saltwater disposal wells for injection into subsurface formations. Underground injection operations are regulated under the SDWA and permitting and enforcement authority may be delegated to the states. In Texas, the Railroad Commission (“RRC”) regulates the disposal of produced water by injection well. The RRC requires operators to obtain a permit from the agency for the operation of saltwater disposal wells and establishes minimum standards for injection well operations. Increased costs associated with the transportation and disposal of produced water, including the cost of complying with regulations concerning produced water disposal, may our reduce profitability; however, these costs are commonly incurred by all oil and gas producers and we do not believe that the costs associated with the disposal of produced water will have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Air Emissions

The federal Clean Air Act and comparable state laws restrict the emission of air pollutants from many sources, such as, for example, compressor stations, through air emissions standards, construction and operating permitting programs and the imposition of other compliance requirements. These laws and regulations may require us to obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with stringent air permit requirements or utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions of certain pollutants. The need to obtain permits has the potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects. Over the next several years, we may be required to incur certain capital expenditures for air pollution control equipment or other air emissions related issues. For example, on August 16, 2012, the EPA published final rules under the Clean Air Act that subject oil and natural gas production, processing, transmission and storage operations to regulation under the NSPS and NESHAPS programs. With regards to production activities, these final rules require, among other things, the reduction of volatile organic compound emissions from three subcategories of fractured and refractured gas wells for which well completion operations are conducted: wildcat (exploratory) and delineation gas wells; low reservoir pressure non-wildcat and non-delineation gas wells; and all “other” fractured and refractured gas wells. All three subcategories of wells must route flow back emissions to a gathering line or be captured and combusted using a combustion device such as a flare after October 15, 2012. However, the “other” wells must use reduced emission completions, also known as “green completions,” with or without combustion devices, after January 1, 2015. These regulations also establish specific new requirements regarding emissions from production-related wet seal and reciprocating compressors, effective October 15, 2012, and from pneumatic controllers and storage vessels, effective October 15, 2013. The EPA received numerous requests for reconsideration of these rules from both industry and the environmental community, and court challenges to the rules were also filed. The EPA intends to issue revised rules in the future that are likely responsive to some of these requests. For example, in September 2013, the EPA published an amendment extending compliance dates for certain storage vessels. Compliance with these and other air pollution control and permitting requirements has the potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects and increase our costs of development and production, which costs could be significant. However, we do not believe that compliance with such requirements will have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Regulation of “Greenhouse Gas” Emissions

In response to findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other GHGs present an endangerment to public health and the environment, the EPA has adopted regulations under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act that, among other things, establish PSD, construction and Title V operating permit reviews for certain large stationary sources that are potential major sources of GHG emissions. As part of these efforts, the EPA issued the Tailoring Rule, effective January 1, 2011, that established emissions thresholds such that only these large stationary sources are subject to GHG permitting. On July 12, 2012, the EPA issued a final rule that retained the previously established thresholds, but those thresholds could be adjusted downward in the future. Despite numerous legal challenges to the EPA’s authority to regulate GHGs, federal courts have affirmed that the EPA does have the authority to regulate GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act. Facilities required to obtain PSD permits for their GHG emissions also will be required to meet “best available control technology” standards that will be established by the states or, in some cases, by the EPA on a case-by-case basis. These EPA rulemakings could adversely affect our operations and restrict or delay our ability to obtain air permits for new or modified sources. In addition, the EPA has adopted rules requiring the monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions from specified onshore and offshore oil and gas production sources in the United States on an annual basis, which include certain of our operations.

In addition, in August 2012, the EPA established NSPS for volatile organic compounds and sulfur dioxide and an air toxic standard for oil and natural gas production, transmission, and storage. The rules include the first federal air standards for natural gas wells that are hydraulically fractured, or refractured, as well as requirements for several other sources, such as storage tanks and other equipment, and limits methane emissions from these sources in an effort to reduce GHG emissions. These requirements could adversely affect our operations by requiring us to make significant expenditures to ensure compliance with the NSPS.

While Congress has from time to time considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs, there has not been significant activity in the form of adopted legislation to reduce GHG emissions at the federal level in recent years. In the absence of such federal climate legislation, a number of state and regional efforts have emerged that are aimed at tracking and/or reducing GHG emissions by means of cap and trade programs that typically require major sources of GHG emissions, such as electric power plants, to acquire and surrender emission allowances in return for emitting those GHGs. If Congress were to undertake comprehensive tax reform in the coming year, it is possible that such reform may include a carbon tax, which could impose additional direct costs on operations and reduce demand for refined products. In any event, the Obama administration recently announced its Climate Action Plan, which, among other things, directs federal agencies to develop a strategy for the reduction of methane emissions, including emissions from the oil and gas industry. As part of the Climate Action Plan, the Obama Administration also announced that it intends to adopt additional regulations to reduce emissions of GHGs and to encourage greater use of low carbon technologies in the coming years. For example, in September 2013, the EPA re-issued proposed NSPS for GHG emissions from Electric Utility Generating Units. Although it is not possible at this time to predict how legislation or new regulations that may be adopted to address GHG emissions would impact our business, any such future laws and regulations imposing reporting obligations on, or limiting emissions of GHGs from, our equipment and operations could require us to incur costs to reduce emissions of GHGs associated with our operations. In addition, substantial limitations on GHG emissions could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas we produce. Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other climatic events; if any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our exploration and production operations.

Hydraulic Fracturing Activities

Hydraulic fracturing is an essential and common practice in the oil and gas industry used to stimulate production of natural gas and/or oil from dense subsurface rock formations. Hydraulic fracturing involves using

 

110


Table of Contents

water, sand, and certain chemicals to fracture the hydrocarbon-bearing rock formation to allow flow of hydrocarbons into the wellbore. We routinely apply hydraulic fracturing techniques in our drilling and completion programs. While hydraulic fracturing has historically been regulated by state oil and natural gas commissions, the practice has become increasingly controversial in certain parts of the country, resulting in increased scrutiny and regulation. For example, the EPA has asserted federal regulatory authority over certain hydraulic-fracturing activities under the SDWA involving the use of diesel fuels and issued revised permitting guidance in February 2014 addressing the use of diesel in fracturing operations. Also, in November 2011, the EPA announced its intent to develop and issue regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act to require companies to disclose information regarding the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing and the agency currently plans to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that would seek public input on the design and scope of such disclosure regulations. To date, the EPA has not issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, therefore, it is unclear how any federal disclosure requirements that add to any applicable state disclosure requirements may affect our operations. In addition, Congress has from time to time considered legislation to amend the SDWA, including legislation that would repeal the exemption for hydraulic fracturing from the definition of “underground injection” and require federal permitting and regulatory control of hydraulic fracturing, as well as legislative proposals to require disclosure of the chemical constituent of the fluids used in the fracturing process. Also, in the near future we may be subject to regulations that restrict our ability to discharge water produced as part of our production operations, and the ability to use injection wells as a disposal option not only will depend on federal or state regulations but also on whether available injection wells have sufficient storage capacities. The EPA is currently developing effluent limitation guidelines that may impose federal pre-treatment standards on all oil and gas operators transporting wastewater associated with hydraulic fracturing activities to publicly owned treatment works for disposal. The EPA plans to propose such standards by 2014. In addition, on May 24, 2013, the federal Bureau of Land Management published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking governing hydraulic fracturing on federal and Indian lands that replaces a prior draft of proposed rulemaking issued by the agency in May 2012. The revised proposed rule would continue to require public disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing on federal and Indian lands, confirmation that wells used in fracturing operations meet appropriate construction standards, and development of appropriate plans for managing flowback water that returns to the surface.

Further, on April 17, 2012, the EPA released final rules that subject all oil and gas operations (production, processing, transmission, storage and distribution) to regulation under the NSPS and the NESHAPS programs. These rules became effective on October 15, 2012. The rules include NSPS standards for completions of hydraulically-fractured gas wells. The standards include the reduced emission completion techniques, or “green completions,” developed in the EPA’s Natural Gas STAR program along with pit flaring of gas not sent to the gathering line. “Green completions” for hydraulic fracturing will require the operator to recover rather than vent the gas and NGLs that come to the surface during completion of the fracturing process. The standards will be applicable to newly drilled and fractured wells and wells that are refractured on or after January 1, 2015. The standards will be applicable to newly drilled and fractured wells and wells that are refractured beginning in January 2015. Further, the rules under NESHAPS include MACT for glycol dehydrators and storage vessels at major source of hazardous air pollutants not currently subject to MACT standards. In September 2013, the EPA issued an amendment extending compliance dates for certain storage vessels. The rule is designed to limit emissions of VOC), sulfur dioxide, and hazardous air pollutants from a variety of sources within natural gas processing plants, oil and natural gas production facilities, and natural gas transmission compressor stations. This rule could require a number of modifications to our operations including the installation of new equipment. Compliance with such rules could result in significant costs, including increased capital expenditures and operating costs, and could adversely impact our business. Additionally, on December 11, 2012, seven states submitted a notice of intent to sue the EPA to compel the agency to make a determination as to whether standards or performance limiting methane emissions from oil and gas sources is appropriate and if so, to promulgate performance standards for methane emissions from existing oil and gas sources.

At the state level, several states have adopted or are considering legal requirements that could impose more stringent permitting, disclosure, and well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing activities. For example in May 2013, the Texas Railroad Commission adopted new rules governing well casing, cementing and other standards for ensuring that hydraulic fracturing operations do not contaminate nearby water resources. Local government also may seek to adopt ordinances within their jurisdictions regulating the time, place and manner of drilling activities in general or hydraulic fracturing activities in particular or prohibit the performance of well drilling in general or hydraulic fracturing in particular. We believe that we follow applicable standard industry practices and legal requirements for groundwater protection in our hydraulic fracturing activities. Nonetheless, if new or more stringent federal, state, or local legal restrictions relating to the hydraulic fracturing process are adopted in areas where we operate, we could incur potentially significant added costs to comply with such requirements, experience delays or curtailment in the pursuit of exploration, development, or production activities, and perhaps even be precluded from drilling wells.

Certain governmental reviews have been conducted or are underway that focus on environmental aspects of hydraulic fracturing practices, which could lead to increased regulation. For example, the White House Council on Environmental Quality is coordinating an administration-wide review of hydraulic fracturing practices. The EPA has also commenced a study of the potential environmental effects of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water and groundwater, with a first progress report outlining work currently underway by the agency released on December 21, 2012, and a final report drawing conclusions about the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources expected to be available for public comment and peer review by late 2014. Other governmental agencies, including the U.S. Department of Energy, have evaluated or are evaluating various other aspects of hydraulic fracturing. These ongoing or proposed studies could spur initiatives to further regulate hydraulic fracturing under the SDWA or other regulatory mechanisms.

Endangered Species Act and Migratory Birds

The federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), and (in some cases) comparable state laws were established to protect endangered and threatened species. Pursuant to the ESA, if a species is listed as threatened or endangered, restrictions may be imposed on activities adversely affecting that species’ habitat. Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. We may conduct operations on oil and natural gas leases in areas where certain species that are listed as threatened or endangered are known to exist and where other species, such as the sage grouse, that potentially could be listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA may exist. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may designate critical habitat and suitable habitat areas that it believes are necessary for survival of a threatened or endangered species. A critical habitat or suitable habitat designation could result in further material restrictions to federal land use and may materially delay or prohibit land access for oil and natural gas development. Moreover, as a result of a settlement approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in September 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”) is required to make a determination on listing of more than 250 species as endangered or threatened under the ESA by no later than completion of the agency’s 2017 fiscal year. For example, in March 2013, the FWS listed the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species under the ESA. Although the lesser prairie chicken’s habitat includes areas of the Permian Basin, where we operate, we do not believe that this listing will have a significant impact on our operations. Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The federal government recently issued indictments under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to several oil and gas companies after dead migratory birds were found near reserve pits associated with drilling activities. The identification or designation of previously unprotected species as threatened or endangered in areas where underlying property operations are conducted could cause us to incur increased costs arising from species protection measures or could result in limitations on our exploration and production activities that could have an adverse impact on our ability to develop and produce reserves. If we were to have a portion of our leases designated as critical or suitable habitat, it could adversely impact the value of our leases.

In summary, we believe we are in substantial compliance with currently applicable environmental laws and regulations. Although we have not experienced any material adverse effect from compliance with environmental

requirements, there is no assurance that this will continue. We did not have any material capital or other non-recurring expenditures in connection with complying with environmental laws or environmental remediation matters in 2013, nor do we anticipate that such expenditures will be material in 2014.

OSHA

We are subject to the requirements of the OSHA and comparable state statutes whose purpose is to protect the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to- Know Act and comparable state statutes and any implementing regulations require that we organize and/or disclose information about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local governmental authorities and citizens. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations relating to worker health and safety.

Related Permits and Authorizations

Many environmental laws require us to obtain permits or other authorizations from state and/or federal agencies before initiating certain drilling, construction, production, operation, or other oil and gas activities, and to maintain these permits and compliance with their requirements for on-going operations. These permits are generally subject to protest, appeal, or litigation, which can in certain cases delay or halt projects and cease production or operation of wells, pipelines, and other operations.

Related Insurance

We maintain insurance against some risks associated with above or underground contamination that may occur as a result of our exploration and production activities. However, this insurance is limited to activities at the well site and there can be no assurance that this insurance will continue to be commercially available or that this insurance will be available at premium levels that justify its purchase by us. The occurrence of a significant event that is not fully insured or indemnified against could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and operations. Further, we have no coverage for gradual, long-term pollution events.

Employees

As of March 31, 2014 we employed 98 people. Our future success will depend partially on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements and have not experienced any strikes or work stoppages. We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory. From time to time we utilize the services of independent contractors to perform various field and other services.

Facilities

Our corporate headquarters is located in Midland, Texas. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current operations.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are a party to ongoing legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe the results of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

(and affiliates), a position he has held since forming Riverbend in 2003. Mr. Newcomer served as a Vice President of EnCap Investments L.P. (from 1997 to 2003, Houston) where he evaluated and co-managed a multitude of E&P financings involving mezzanine debt and equity investments.

We believe that Mr. Newcomer’s experience as a chief executive officer of an oil and gas company, as well as his broad knowledge of the industry and oil and gas investments, qualify him for service on our board of directors.

Composition of Our Board of Directors

Our board of directors currently consists of five members, including our Chief Executive Officer.

In evaluating director candidates, we will assess whether a candidate possesses the integrity, judgment, knowledge, experience, skills and expertise that are likely to enhance the board’s ability to manage and direct our affairs and business, including, when applicable, to enhance the ability of committees of the board to fulfill their duties of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of the board of directors.

Our directors will be divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. Class I, Class II and Class III directors will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders in 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. Mr. Carter will be assigned to Class I, Messrs. Smith and Newcomer will be assigned to Class II, and Messrs. Sheffield and Alameddine will be assigned to Class III. At each annual meeting of stockholders held after the initial classification, directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. This classification of our board of directors could have the effect of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of the board of directors. In general, at least two annual meetings of stockholders will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of the board of directors.

Director Independence

Our board of directors currently consists of five members, including our Chief Executive Officer. The board of directors reviewed the independence of our directors using the independence standards of the NYSE and, based on this review, determined that Messrs. Alameddine, Carter, Newcomer and Smith are independent within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards currently in effect and that Messrs. Alameddine and Newcomer are independent within the meaning of 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee

We have established an audit committee. Rules implemented by the NYSE and the SEC require us to have an audit committee comprised of at least three directors who meet the independence and experience standards established by the NYSE and the Exchange Act, subject to transitional relief during the one-year period following the completion of this offering. Our audit committee initially consists of two directors, Messrs. Alameddine and Newcomer, who are independent under the rules of the SEC. As required by the rules of the SEC and listing standards of the NYSE, the audit committee will consist solely of independent directors.

 

116


Table of Contents

This committee will oversee, review, act on and report on various auditing and accounting matters to our board of directors, including: the selection of our independent accountants, the scope of our annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent accountants, the performance of our independent accountants and our accounting practices. In addition, the audit committee will oversee our compliance programs relating to legal and regulatory requirements. We expect to adopt an audit committee charter defining the committee’s primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the SEC and applicable stock exchange or market standards.

Compensation Committee

We have established a compensation committee. The compensation committee initially consists of two directors, Messrs. Carter and Alameddine, who are “independent” under the rules of the SEC. This committee will establish salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation for officers and other employees. Our compensation committee will also administer our incentive compensation and benefit plans. We expect to adopt a compensation committee charter defining the committee’s primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the SEC and applicable stock exchange or market standards.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

We have established a nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee initially consists of three directors, Messrs. Carter, Smith and Newcomer, who are “independent” under the rules of the NYSE. This committee will identify, evaluate and recommend qualified nominees to serve on our board of directors; develop and oversee our internal corporate governance processes; and maintain a management succession plan. We expect to adopt a nominating and corporate governance committee charter defining the committee’s primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the SEC and applicable stock exchange or market standards.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers serve on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company that has an executive officer that serves on our board or compensation committee. No member of our board is an executive officer of a company in which one of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of that company.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Prior to the completion of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a code of business conduct and ethics applicable to our employees, directors and officers, in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of the NYSE. Any waiver of this code may be made only by our board of directors and will be promptly disclosed as required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of the NYSE.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Prior to the completion of this offering, our board of directors will adopt corporate governance guidelines in accordance with the corporate governance rules of the NYSE.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

2013 Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth information regarding the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to certain of our executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2013. As an emerging growth company (as such term is defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act) we have opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules in Item 402(l)-(r) of Regulation S-K applicable to “smaller reporting companies” (as such term is defined in Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K) which require compensation disclosure for our principal executive officer and the two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer. These three officers are referred to as our “Named Executive Officers.”

(1) The amounts reported in this column reflect amounts paid for services provided in fiscal 2013 pursuant to our discretionary annual cash bonus program, which were paid during the fourth quarter of 2013.
(2) The Named Executive Officers received a grant of incentive units (described below) during the 2013 fiscal year. We believe that, despite the fact that the incentive units do not require the payment of an exercise price, they are most similar economically to stock options, and as such, they are properly classified as “options” under the definition provided in Item 402(a)(6)(i) of Regulation S-K as an instrument with an “option-like feature.” Amounts reflected in this column for each executive reflect an aggregate grant date fair value of the incentive units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, assuming that the grant date fair value on the grant date per unit was as follows: Tier I units, $5.18; Tier II units, $2.25; Tier III units, $0.68; and Tier IV units, $0.46. The awards are not designed with a threshold, target or maximum potential payout level, thus the amounts reflected in the table above reflect our best estimates as to the payouts that were “probable” at the time the grants were made under FASB ASC Topic 718. See “—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table—Long Term Incentive Compensation—Outstanding Equity Awards at 2013 Fiscal Year End” for a description of the treatment of the Incentive Units in connection with the transactions described under “Corporate Reorganization.”

Base Salary

Each Named Executive Officer’s base salary is a fixed component of compensation each year for performing specific job duties and functions. Historically, our President and Chief Executive Officer established the annual base salary rate for each of the Named Executive Officers at a level necessary to retain the individual’s services. Adjustments to the base salary rates for the Named Executive Officers have historically been made upon consideration of factors that our President and Chief Executive Officer deems relevant, including but not limited to: (a) any increase or decrease in the executive’s responsibilities, (b) the executive’s job performance, and (c) the level of compensation paid to executives of other companies with which we compete for executive talent, as estimated based on publicly available information and the experience of our Chief Executive Officer. Following the closing of this offering, our President and Chief Executive Officer will work together with our board of directors to determine the amount, if any, of any future modifications to the base salary levels for each of our Named Executive Officers.

Annual Bonus

Historically we have maintained a fully discretionary bonus program. In November of each year, our President and Chief Executive Officer determined the amount, if any, of the discretionary annual bonuses awarded to each of our Named Executive Officers after careful review of our performance over the course of that year. Items that have previously been taken into account during this process include, but are not limited to, production growth, profitability and our financial strength. There are no performance metrics or formulas used to calculate the amounts of the bonuses paid, although our Named Executive Officers typically receive a bonus equal to a similar percentage of their base salary. Bonuses have historically been paid in November of each fiscal year. The Named Executive Officers must generally be employed on the date the awards are actually paid in order to receive payment.

Outstanding Awards at Fiscal Year End

Creation and Grant of Incentive Units

Incentive Units were issued to our Named Executive Officers during the 2013 fiscal year. These Incentive Units were issued in two separate entities: Parsley LLC and Parsley Energy Employee Holdings, LLC (“Employee Holdings”). As discussed in the next paragraph, certain Incentive Units in Parsley LLC were issued directly by Parsley LLC to certain of our Named Executive Officers. Additionally, as discussed in the second paragraph below, certain Incentive Units in Parsley LLC were issued directly to Employee Holdings and Employee Holdings in turn issued Incentive Units to certain of our Named Executive Officers.

Prior to our June 2013 reorganization, Messrs. Sheffield and Gallagher owned limited partner interests in Parsley LP. In June 2013, we reorganized the entities that comprise our company in order to facilitate the investment in our company by NGP and the PSP Members. As part of that reorganization, all investors who held limited partner interests in Parsley LP, including Messrs. Sheffield and Gallagher, contributed those limited partner interests to Parsley LLC in exchange for both common equity interests in Parsley LLC and a certain number of Incentive Units in Parsley LLC. The issuance of Incentive Units in Parsley LLC was intended to compensate these investors for the dilution they experienced as a result of the reorganization. Mr. Roberts did not receive any Incentive Units in Parsley LLC because he did not own any equity interests in Parsley LP at the time of the reorganization.

NGP and the PSP Members wanted to enable certain key employees of our company to share in our investors’ financial success after NGP and the PSP Members receive a certain level of return on their investment in our company. They determined that the best method to achieve this goal was to grant Incentive Units to our key employees. As such, in connection with the June 2013 reorganization, Employee Holdings was formed and granted 2,000,000 Incentive Units in Parsley LLC (500,000 of each of Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, and Tier IV Incentive Units). In turn, certain key employees of our company, including Messrs. Gallagher and Roberts, were granted Incentive Units in Employee Holdings; such units are economically identical to the Incentive Units in Parsley LLC held by Employee Holdings. Distributions with respect to the Incentive Units in Employee Holdings are linked to distributions made with respect to the corresponding Incentive Units in Parsley LLC held by Employee Holdings. No Incentive Units in Employee Holdings were granted to Mr. Sheffield in 2013 because we, along with NGP and the PSP Members, determined that Mr. Sheffield’s interests were already sufficiently aligned with the interests of our investors as a result of his own substantial investment in us.

All Incentive Units in Parsley LLC are entitled to a portion of the distributions made by Parsley LLC after NGP and the PSP Members receive a certain return on their investment in us. With respect to the total number of Incentive Units in Parsley LLC issued to any particular recipient, 88.39% of such distributions relate to the return realized by NGP on its investment in Parsley LLC (the “NGP Portion”) and 11.61% of such distributions relate to the return realized by the PSP Members on their investment in Parsley LLC (the “PSP Portion”). As described above, distributions with respect to the Incentive Units in Employee Holdings are linked to distributions with respect to the Incentive Units in Parsley LLC held by Employee Holdings. Additional information regarding the vesting and payment terms of the Incentive Units can be found on page 123 in the Narrative to the Outstanding

Equity Awards Table. The Incentive Units in each of Parsley LLC and Employee Holdings do not relate directly to Parsley Inc.’s securities, and Parsley Inc. is not financially or otherwise responsible for distributions or settlements relating to such awards. As described above, amounts paid to the holders of Incentive Units in Parsley LLC are paid out of NGP’s and the PSP Members’ return on their investment in us, and distributions made by Employee Holdings to holders of Incentive Units in Employee Holdings are linked to distributions it receives from Parsley LLC.

The awards reported below reflect the Incentive Units each Named Executive Officer held as of December 31, 2013.

(1) We believe that, despite the fact that the Incentive Units do not require the payment of an exercise price, they are most similar economically to stock options, and as such, they are properly classified as “options” under the definition provided in Item 402(a)(6)(i) of Regulation S-K as an instrument with an “option-like feature.” The Incentive Unit awards at Parsley LLC and Employee Holdings are each divided into four tiers, each of which has a separate distributions threshold and vesting schedule. Awards reflected as “Unexercisable” are Incentive Units that have not yet vested. The Tier I Units and Tier I Incentive Units in the “Unexercisable” column will generally vest in three equal installments on each anniversary of the grant date, or will become fully accelerated upon a “Fundamental Change” (defined below) or the date the distribution threshold for that Tier has been satisfied. The Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV Units (or Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV Incentive Units, as applicable) in the “Unexercisable” column will not become vested until such time as the distributions threshold for that Tier has been satisfied. For a description of how and when the Incentive Unit awards could become vested and when such awards could begin to receive payments, see the discussion below.

Narrative to the Outstanding Equity Awards Table

The Incentive Unit Awards at Parsley LLC and Employee Holdings are each divided into four tiers. Unless otherwise noted below, the definitions, vesting and payment thresholds are the same for each Tier whether granted at the Parsley LLC or Employee Holdings level. A potential payout for each tier will occur only after a specified level of cumulative cash distributions has been received by members of the applicable entity that have made capital contributions to the entity, as further described below. Tier I Incentive Units are designed to vest in three equal annual installments, although vesting will be fully accelerated if a “Fundamental Change” (as defined below) occurs or the distribution threshold established for Tier I (described below) is met prior to the time-based vesting becoming satisfied. Tier II units, Tier III units and Tier IV units will each vest only upon the distribution threshold established for that tier (described below). The difference between a vested and unvested Tier I Incentive Unit is that once a unit is vested, in the event that an Incentive Unit holder’s employment terminates other than for “Cause” (as defined below) or due to a voluntary termination by such Incentive Unit holder, the Incentive Unit holder may retain all vested Tier I Incentive Units as non-voting interests. All Incentive Units that have not vested according to their original vesting schedule at the time an Incentive Unit holder’s employment is terminated for any reason will be forfeited without payment. If we terminate an executive for Cause, or the Incentive Unit holder voluntarily terminates his or her employment, all vested Incentive Unit awards will also be forfeited at the time of the termination. If distributions are made with respect to a tier of these Incentive Unit awards while they are outstanding, both vested and unvested units will receive the distributions and the holder of such units would be entitled to keep any such distributions regardless of whether the units are subsequently forfeited.

The Tier I Incentive Units will be entitled to 15% of future distributions to members only after all the Preferred Investors that have made capital contributions to Parsley LLC have received cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to their cumulative capital contributions multiplied by 1.10 n , where “n” is equal to the weighted average capital contribution factor determined as of the dates of the distributions; provided, that if the Preferred Investors have received cumulative cash distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to two times their cumulative capital contributions, then Tier I Incentive Units will be entitled to 20% of future distributions to members. The Tier II units will be entitled to 10% of future distributions to members only after all of the Preferred Investors that have made capital contributions to Parsley LLC shall have received cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to two times their cumulative capital contributions. Tier III units will be entitled to 5% of future distributions to Preferred Investors only after all of the members that have made capital contributions to Parsley LLC shall have received cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to three times their cumulative capital contributions. The Tier IV units will be entitled to 5% of future distributions to members only after all of the Preferred Investors that have made capital contributions to Parsley LLC shall have received cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to four times their cumulative capital contributions.

A “Fundamental Change” is generally defined in the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Parsley LLC as any of the following events: (i)(a) Parsley LLC merges, consolidates, amalgamates or reconstitutes with or into another entity, or enters into a similar transaction with any entity; (b) the outstanding interests of Parsley LLC are sold or exchanged to any person; (c) Parsley LLC sells, leases, licenses or exchanges all or substantially all of its assets to a person; (d) a liquidation or dissolution of Parsley LLC; (e) the institution of proceedings against Parsley LLC to be adjudicated as a bankrupt or insolvent entity, or the institution of other similar proceedings; Parsley LLC’s consent to a receiver, liquidator, trustee or other similar official; or an assignment by Parsley LLC for the benefit of its creditors or an admission of Parsley LLC that it cannot pay its debts; or (f) voluntary withdrawal as a general partner or relinquishment of rights as a controlling equity-holder of any Parsley LLC subsidiary; or (ii) any single person or group of related persons purchases or otherwise acquires the right to vote or dispose of the Parsley LLC securities that represent 50% or more of the total voting power of all the then-outstanding voting securities of Parsley LLC (although no capital contributions made by NGP shall cause a Fundamental Change under this clause (ii)). For purposes of clauses (i)(a) –(c) above, the persons who served as members of the board of directors immediately before the applicable transaction must also cease to constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or analogous managing body of the surviving entity.

Table of Contents

A termination for “Cause” shall generally mean an Incentive Unit holder’s (i) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, any felony or a crime or offense causing substantial harm to Parsley LLC, Employee Holdings, or their respective affiliates, or involving an act of theft, fraud, embezzlement, moral turpitude or similar conduct; (ii) repeated intoxication by alcohol or drugs during the performance of the holder’s duties; (iii) malfeasance, in the conduct of the holder’s duties, including, but not limited to, (a) misuse of funds of Parsley LLC, Employee Holdings, or their respective affiliates, (b) embezzlement, or (c) misrepresentation of or the concealment of a written report submitted to Parsley LLC, Employee Holdings, or their respective affiliates; (iv) material and incurable violation of any provision of a voting and transfer restriction agreement or an employment agreement previously entered into by the holder and which remains uncured for thirty days; or (v) failure to perform duties of the holder’s employment with Parsley LLC, Employee Holdings, or their respective affiliates, or the failure to follow or comply with reasonable written directives of the board of managers or the holder’s supervisors.

We do not expect that this offering will result in a Fundamental Change for the Incentive Units. Also, as of the date of this filing, the Named Executive Officers have not received any distributions with respect to the Incentive Units.

Treatment of Incentive Units in IPO Reorganization

The consummation of this offering and the related reorganization will be treated as if it were a qualifying reorganization under Parsley LLC’s current limited liability agreement. As such, in connection with the closing of this offering, (i) the Incentive Units in Parsley LLC will be converted into units in Parsley LLC, (ii) the holders of the resulting units in Parsley LLC will contribute their units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for shares of Class A common stock and (iii) Employee Holdings will merge with and into Parsley Inc., with Parsley Inc. surviving the merger, and the members of Employee Holdings will receive shares of Class A common stock in the merger. The number of shares of Class A common stock issued in connection with these transactions is based on the implied equity value of Parsley LLC immediately prior to this offering based on the price to the public for our Class A common stock set forth on the cover of this prospectus. See “Corporate Reorganization.” Based on an initial public offering price of $16.50 (the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), approximately 2,600,508 shares of Class A common stock will be issued in respect of these transactions. As a result, Messrs. Sheffield, Gallagher and Roberts will receive approximately 894,369, 109,383 and 229,140 shares of Class A common stock, respectively (based on the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), with respect to the Incentive Units they hold in Parsley LLC. After the consummation of this offering, there will be no further liability with respect to the Incentive Units in Parsley LLC.

2014 Long Term Incentive Plan

Prior to the completion of this offering, our board of directors will have adopted, and our stockholders will have approved, a Long-Term Incentive Plan, or LTIP, to attract and retain employees, directors, and other service providers. The description of the LTIP set forth below is a summary of the material features of the LTIP. This summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of all of the provisions of the LTIP and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the LTIP, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this registration statement. The LTIP provides for the grant of cash and equity-based awards, including options to purchase shares of our Class A common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus stock, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, performance awards and annual incentive awards.

Share Limits. Subject to adjustment in accordance with the LTIP, 12,727,273 shares of our Class A common stock will initially be reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the LTIP, and more specifically, that total amount will be available for issuance of incentive stock options. Shares subject to an award under the LTIP that are canceled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated, including withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations, will be available for delivery pursuant to other awards. The shares of our Class A common stock to be delivered under the LTIP will be made available from authorized but unissued shares, shares held in treasury, or previously issued shares reacquired by us, including by purchase on the open market.

 

124


Table of Contents

In each calendar year, during any part of which the LTIP is in effect, an employee who is a “Covered Employee” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) may not be granted (a) awards (other than awards designated to be paid only in cash or the settlement of which is not based on a number of shares) relating to more than 5,000 shares of our Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the LTIP and (b) awards designated to be paid only in cash, or the settlement of which is not based on a number of shares of our Class A common stock, having a value determined on the date of grant in excess of $10,000,000.

Administration. The LTIP will be administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors, which is referred to herein as the “committee,” except in the event our full board of directors chooses to administer the LTIP. Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors, the committee will be comprised of two or more individuals, each of whom qualifies as an “outside director” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code and a “nonemployee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP and applicable law, the committee has broad discretion to administer the LTIP, including the power to determine the employees, directors and other service providers to whom awards will be granted, to determine the type of awards to be granted and the number of shares of our Class A common stock to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards, to determine and interpret the terms and provisions of each award agreement, to accelerate the vesting or exercise of any award and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the LTIP.

Eligibility. Officers, directors, employees, and other individuals who provide services to us may be eligible to receive awards under the LTIP. However, the committee has the sole discretion to determine which eligible individuals receive awards under the LTIP.

Stock Options. The committee may grant incentive stock options and options that do not qualify as incentive stock options, except that incentive stock options may only be granted to persons who are our employees or employees of one of our subsidiaries, in accordance with Section 422 of the Code. Generally, the exercise price of a stock option cannot be less than the fair market value of a share of our Class A common stock on the date on which the option is granted and the option must not be exercisable more than ten years from the date of grant. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the exercise price of the stock option must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of our Class A common stock on the date of grant and the option must not be exercisable more than five years from the date of grant.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights, or SARs, may be granted in connection with, or independent of, a stock option. A SAR is the right to receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of our Class A common stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR. SARs will be exercisable on such terms as committee determines. The term of a SAR will be for a period determined by the committee but will not exceed ten years. SARs may be paid in cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, as determined by the committee in the relevant award agreement.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock is a grant of shares of our Class A common stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, restrictions on transferability and any other restrictions determined by the committee. Common stock distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property distributed as a dividend, may be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the restricted stock with respect to which the distribution was made.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are rights to receive cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock at the end of a specified period. Restricted stock units may be subject to restrictions, including a risk of forfeiture, as determined by the committee. The committee may, in its sole discretion, grant dividend equivalents with respect to restricted stock units.

Other Awards. Subject to limitations under applicable law and the terms of the LTIP, the committee may grant other awards including, without limitation, common stock awarded as a bonus, dividend equivalents, convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into common stock, purchase rights for common stock, awards with value and payment contingent upon our performance or any other factors designated by the committee, and awards valued by reference to the book value of our common stock or the value of securities of the securities or the performance of specified subsidiaries. The committee will determine the terms and conditions of all such awards. Cash awards may granted as an element of, or a supplement to, any awards permitted under the LTIP. Awards may also be granted in lieu of obligations to pay cash or deliver other property under the LTIP or under other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to the terms of the LTIP and applicable law.

Performance and Annual Incentive Awards. The LTIP will also permit the committee to designate certain awards as performance awards or annual incentive awards. Performance and annual incentive awards represent awards with respect to which a participant’s right to receive cash, shares of our Class A common stock, or a combination of both, is contingent upon the attainment of one or more specified performance measures within a specified period. The committee will determine the applicable performance period, the performance goals and such other conditions that apply to each performance and annual incentive award.

Termination of Employment and Non-Competition Agreements. The treatment of an award under the LTIP upon a termination of employment or service to us will be specified in the agreement controlling such award. Additionally, each participant to whom an award is granted under the LTIP may be required to agree in writing as a condition of the granting of such award not to engage in conduct in competition with us or our affiliates after the termination of such participant’s employment or service with us.

Change in Control. Subject to the terms of the applicable award agreement, upon a “change in control” (as defined in the LTIP), the committee may, in its discretion, (i) accelerate the time of exercisability of an award, (ii) require awards to be surrendered in exchange for a cash payment (or no payment if awards are unvested or the price paid in the change of control is equal to or less than the exercise price), (iii) provide for the assumption or substitution or continuation of awards by the successor company or a parent or subsidiary of the successor, or (iv) make other adjustments to awards as the committee deems appropriate to reflect the applicable transaction or event.

Amendment and Termination. The LTIP will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of its effective date. Our board of directors may amend or terminate the LTIP at any time, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval required by applicable law, rule or regulation. The committee may generally amend the terms of any outstanding award under the LTIP at any time. However, no action may be taken by our board of directors or the committee under the LTIP that would materially and adversely affect the rights of a participant under a previously granted award without the participant’s consent.

In connection with the closing of this offering, we intend to make grants of restricted stock to all of our employees in recognition of their increased work load during the process of preparing for this offering. Bryan Sheffield has declined to receive a grant of restricted stock. Messrs. Gallagher and Roberts are each expected to receive an award of restricted stock equal to approximately 1.75 times each executive’s annual base salary, or 27,894 shares and 27,364 shares of restricted Class A common stock, respectively, based on the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus. All restricted stock awards granted, including those to Messrs. Gallagher and Roberts, will vest in full on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant and will be subject to forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the notice of grant and award agreement under which they were granted as well as the terms of the LTIP prior to that date.

Other Compensation Elements

We offer participation in broad-based retirement, health and welfare plans to all of our employees. We currently maintain a retirement plan intended to provide benefits under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code where employees, including our Named Executive Officers, are allowed to contribute portions of their base compensation to a tax-qualified retirement account. See “Additional Narrative Disclosure—Retirement Benefits” for more information. We also pay the premiums for life insurance coverage of $100,000 for each of our employees.

In addition, certain perquisites have historically been provided to our Named Executive Officers. Messrs. Sheffield and Gallagher are both provided with a car owned by us, which they use for business and personal reasons, such as commuting to work. The incremental value of their personal use of these company-owned vehicles is reported above in the All Other Compensation column to the Summary Compensation Table.

Additionally, in 2013 we paid all expenses in connection with Mr. Gallagher’s travel to and receipt of a preventative health screening exam from the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, Texas. Mr. Sheffield received the same benefit during fiscal year 2012. The periodic provision of this benefit is viewed by our President and Chief Executive Officer as an important investment. We feel that ensuring the maintenance of our Named Executive Officers’ health is essential to the continued success of our company.

In 2013 we purchased a corporate aircraft to facilitate the most efficient business travel for certain executives, members of our board of directors, and business partners. In connection with the acquisition of the aircraft, we adopted the Parsley Energy, LLC First Amended Corporate Aircraft Policy in April of 2014 (the “Aircraft Policy”) to outline our policies with respect to company-owned, chartered or leased aircraft (the “Aircraft”). Pursuant to the Aircraft Policy, the Aircraft will be available to transport our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, members of our board of directors, strategic business partners, and employees designated by our President and Chief Executive Officer from time to time for facilitating or conducting our business or for company-sponsored or directed activities (collectively, “Permitted Travelers”). We generally encourage our executives and members of our board of directors to use commercial air carriers for travel whenever possible, and any travel using the Aircraft must be approved in writing by our President and Chief Executive Officer. All Permitted Travelers must pay the aircraft management company in full for the cost of any personal usage of the Aircraft, which must be approved in advance by our President and Chief Executive Officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, pursuant to his employment agreement and the Aircraft Policy, our President and Chief Executive Officer is entitled to utilize the Aircraft for reasonable personal use in North America at no cost to him for up to 30 hours per calendar year. The value of unreimbursed personal use of the Aircraft by our President and Chief Executive Officer will also be treated as imputed income to him for tax purposes. None of our other Named Executive Officers are entitled to unreimbursed non-business travel use of the Aircraft.

Finally, we have historically paid the initiation fee and country club dues for each of our Named Executive Officers as well as the incidental expenses incurred by Mr. Sheffield in connection with his use of the country clubs. These memberships have provided our executives with valuable opportunities to meet and network with potential clients and business partners. In an attempt to streamline our compensation and benefits package, our President and Chief Executive Officer determined that we will no longer pay for our executives’ country club dues or associated incidental expenses, and we ceased paying such dues and expenses as of December 2013.

Additional Narrative Disclosure

Retirement Benefits

We have not maintained, and do not currently maintain, a defined benefit pension plan or nonqualified deferred compensation plan. We currently maintain a retirement plan intended to provide benefits under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code where employees, including our Named Executive Officers, are allowed to contribute portions of their base compensation to a tax-qualified retirement account. We have historically provided a basic match of 100% of salary deferrals up to the first 3% of eligible compensation, plus 50% of salary deferrals up to the next 2% of eligible compensation. Effective October 1, 2013, we began providing a 200% match of salary deferrals up to 4% of eligible compensation. We may also make additional discretionary matching contributions, although we do not expect to do so.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Sheffield is entitled to continued base salary through the end of any fiscal year in which he is terminated by reason of death or “Disability” (as defined in the agreement).

 

127


Table of Contents

Additionally, if either party provides a notice of nonrenewal following the initial term or Mr. Sheffield’s employment is terminated by either party other than “for Cause” (as defined in the agreement), death, or Disability, then (i) he would be entitled to continued salary payments for 24 months and, (ii) if Mr. Sheffield elects to continue coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), then he will be entitled to reimbursement for a period of up to 12 months for the difference between the amount he pays to effect and continue such coverage and the employee contribution amount that he would pay if he were still an active employee. The employment agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants, which require Mr. Sheffield to preserve and protect our confidential information and work product and, for a one-year period following his termination of employment, to refrain from competing with us or soliciting our employees. If Mr. Sheffield terminates his employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in the agreement), he will be released from his non-compete obligations, but will remain subject to confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations.

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements with Messrs. Gallagher and Roberts, each executive is entitled to continued base salary through the end of any fiscal year in which he is terminated by reason of death or “Disability” (as defined in the relevant agreement). Messrs. Gallagher and Roberts are not entitled to severance payments or benefits as a result of a termination of employment under any other circumstances. Messrs. Gallagher and Roberts’s employment agreements contains certain restrictive covenants, which require each executive to preserve and protect our confidential information and work product and, for a one-year (six-month in the case of a termination other than for “Cause” (as defined in the relevant agreement)) period following his termination of employment, to refrain from competing with us or soliciting our employees. If either executive terminates his employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in the relevant agreement), he will be released from his non-compete obligations, but will remain subject to confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations.

The Named Executive Officers are not entitled to any “single trigger” payment upon a change in control.

As noted above, a termination of employment or the occurrence of a Fundamental Change could impact the vesting and distribution payments applicable to the Incentive Units held by the Named Executive Officers. Please see the “Narrative to the Outstanding Equity Awards Table” section above for more details.

As described above under “—Employment Agreements”, effective upon the closing of this offering, we will enter into post-IPO employment agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers that will override and replace their existing employment agreements. The following summarizes the impact of certain termination events or the occurrence of a “change of control” on each Named Executive Officer’s entitlement to severance and other benefits under these post-IPO employment agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of his post-IPO employment agreement, Mr. Sheffield would be entitled to accrued but unpaid base salary, reimbursements, and other employee benefits (the “Accrued Obligations”) in the event his employment were terminated upon either our or Mr. Sheffield’s provision of a notice of nonrenewal, by us for “Cause” or by Mr. Sheffield without “Good Reason” (each as defined in the agreement), and, except as otherwise provided in the award agreement under which the award was granted, Mr. Sheffield would forfeit all unvested outstanding equity awards he held as of the date of termination. Furthermore, in the event we were to terminate Mr. Sheffield without Cause, or Mr. Sheffield were to terminate his employment for Good Reason, he would be entitled to (i) the Accrued Obligations, (ii) continued salary payments for 24 months, (iii) a lump sum amount equal to two times the average of the three most recent annual bonuses actually paid in the three-year period preceding the termination date, which amount would be paid on the first regular pay date immediately following the payment of the last installment due to Mr. Sheffield under the foregoing clause (ii), (iv) if Mr. Sheffield elected to continue coverage under COBRA, then he would be entitled to reimbursement for a period of up to 18 months for the difference between the amount he would pay to effect and continue such coverage and the employee contribution amount that he would pay if he were still an active employee, and (v) outplacement services for up to 12 months following the termination date or such time as Mr. Sheffield obtained reasonably comparable employment, whichever was earlier (the benefits described in clauses (i), (iv) and (v), collectively, the “Severance Benefits”), and, except as otherwise provided in the award agreement under which the award was

granted, all unvested outstanding equity awards held by Mr. Sheffield upon such termination would be forfeited for no consideration. Alternatively, Mr. Sheffield would be entitled to the Accrued Obligations and continued base salary through the end of any fiscal year in which he was terminated by reason of death or “Disability” (as defined in the agreement). Finally, if within 24 months following a “Change of Control” (as defined in the agreement) we were to terminate Mr. Sheffield without Cause, or Mr. Sheffield were to terminate his employment for Good Reason, he would be entitled to the same Severance Benefits described above plus (x) continued salary payments for 36 months, and (y) a lump sum amount equal to three times the average of the three most recent annual bonuses actually paid in the three-year period preceding the termination date, which amount would be paid on the first regular pay date immediately following the payment of the last installment due to Mr. Sheffield under the foregoing clause (x), and, except as otherwise provided in the award agreement under which the award was granted, all unvested outstanding equity awards held by Mr. Sheffield upon such a termination would be accelerated in full. Mr. Sheffield’s post-IPO employment agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants, which would require Mr. Sheffield to preserve and protect our confidential information and work product and, for a one-year period following his termination of employment (6 months in the event his was terminated by us without Cause), to refrain from competing with us (except with respect to the operation of certain wells specifically referenced in the agreement) or soliciting our employees.

Pursuant to the terms of their post-IPO employment agreements, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Gallagher would be entitled to the Accrued Obligations in the event their employment was terminated upon the provision of a notice of nonrenewal (either by us or by the executive), by us for “Cause” or by the executive without “Good Reason” (each as defined in the agreement), and, except as otherwise provided in the award agreement under which the award was granted, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Gallagher would forfeit all unvested outstanding equity awards held as of the date of termination. Furthermore, in the event we were to terminate either Mr. Roberts or Mr. Gallagher without Cause, or the executive terminated his employment for Good Reason, he would be entitled to (i) the Accrued Obligations, (ii) a lump-sum cash payment equal to 0.50 for Mr. Roberts and 1.25 for Mr. Gallagher times the sum of (A) his base salary and (B) the average of the three most recent annual bonuses actually paid in the three-year period preceding the date of termination (or the period of his employment, if shorter), which amount would be paid on the first business day following the Release Consideration Period (a 60 day period following the date of termination of employment) (the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) together, the “Cash Severance”), (iii) if Mr. Roberts or Mr. Gallagher elected to continue coverage under COBRA, then they would be entitled to reimbursement for a period of up to 18 months for the difference between the amount they would pay to effect and continue such coverage and the employee contribution amount that they would pay if they were still active employees, and (iv) outplacement services for up to 6 months following the termination date or such time as the executive obtained reasonably comparable employment, whichever was earlier (the benefits described in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “Severance Benefits”), and, except as otherwise provided in the award agreement under which the award was granted, all unvested outstanding equity awards held by the executives upon such termination would be forfeited for no consideration. Alternatively, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Gallagher would be entitled to the Accrued Obligations and continued base salary through the end of any fiscal year in which they were terminated by reason of death or “Disability” (as defined in the agreement). Finally, if within 12 months following a “Change of Control” (as defined in the agreement) we were to terminate Mr. Roberts or Mr. Gallagher without Cause, or Mr. Roberts or Mr. Gallagher were to terminate his employment for Good Reason, he would be entitled to the same Severance Benefits described above plus an additional 0.75 times the Cash Severance, and, except as otherwise provided in the award agreement under which the award was granted, all unvested outstanding equity awards held by the executives upon such a termination would be accelerated in full. Mr. Roberts’ and Mr. Gallagher’s post-IPO employment agreements also contain certain restrictive covenants, which require the executives to preserve and protect our confidential information and work product and, for a one-year period following his termination of employment (6 months in the event his was terminated by us without Cause), to refrain from competing with us or soliciting our employees.

The board of managers of our predecessor was formed in June of 2013. Messrs. Bryan Sheffield and Chris Carter are employed by us and NGP respectively and, as such, receive no additional compensation for their service on our board of managers. Each of the other members of our board of managers receives a retainer payment equal to $25,000 in cash per year. The retainer is paid to each member of our board of managers in four equal installments in cash following each quarterly meeting of the board. The amounts in the table above reflect the fact that only two quarterly meetings were held in 2013. Jack Harper resigned from our board of managers effective March 18, 2014.

Attracting and retaining qualified non-employee directors is critical to the future value growth and governance of our company. In connection with the closing of this offering, we intend to make grants of restricted stock to our non-employee directors in recognition of their increased work load during the process of preparing for this offering. We expect the value of the award made to each director to be approximately $125,000, or 7,576 shares of restricted Class A common stock, based on the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus. These awards of restricted stock will vest in full on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant and will be subject to forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the notice of grant and award agreement under which they were granted as well as the terms of the LTIP prior to that date.

Following the closing of this offering, we plan to implement a new director compensation program to reflect the increased time and responsibility that being the director of a publicly traded company entails. Under this new program, all of our non-employee directors are expected to receive the following:

 

   

An annual cash retainer of $50,000;

 

   

A per meeting fee of $1,000; and

 

   

An annual equity grant of restricted stock equal in value to approximately $125,000, vesting in full on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

All amounts paid in 2014 will be prorated to reflect only the period of the year during which we were a publicly traded company. Directors who are also our employees or who were appointed by NGP will not receive any additional compensation for their service on our board of directors, a continuation of our current practice.

Each director will be reimbursed for (i) travel and expenses associated with the attendance of meetings and activities of our board of directors or its committees, and (ii) travel and expenses related to each director’s participation in general education and orientation programs for directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers or employees will be members of the compensation committee. None of our executive officers serve on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company that has an executive officer that serves on our board or compensation committee. No member of our board is an executive officer of a company in which one of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of that company.

To the extent any members of our compensation committee and affiliates of theirs have participated in transactions with us, a description of those transactions is described in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

CORPORATE REORGANIZATION

Incorporation of Parsley Inc.

Parsley Inc. was incorporated by Parsley as a Delaware corporation in December 2013. Following this offering and the transactions related thereto, Parsley Inc. will be a holding company whose sole material asset will consist of 32,086,042 PE Units. After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this prospectus, Parsley Inc. will be the managing member of Parsley LLC and will be responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Parsley LLC’s business and will consolidate the financial results of Parsley LLC and its subsidiaries. The Limited Liability Company Agreement of Parsley LLC will be amended and restated as the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement to, among other things, admit Parsley Inc. as the sole managing member of Parsley LLC.

In connection with this offering, (a) all of the membership interests (including outstanding incentive units) in Parsley LLC held by its existing owners, including NGP and all of our executive officers, will be converted into PE Units, using an implied equity valuation for Parsley LLC prior to the offering based on the initial public price to the public for our Class A common stock set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and the current relative levels of ownership in Parsley LLC, (b) certain of the Existing Owners, including NGP, will contribute all of their PE Units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, (c) certain of the Existing Owners will contribute only a portion of their PE Units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock and will continue to own a portion of the PE Units following this offering, (d) Parsley Energy Employee Holdings, LLC, an entity owned by certain of our officers and employees formed to hold a portion of the incentive units in Parsley LLC, will merge with and into Parsley Inc., with Parsley Inc. surviving the merger, and the members of Parsley Energy Employee Holdings, LLC will receive shares of Class A common stock in the merger, (e) Parsley Inc. will contribute 32,086,042 shares of its Class B common stock and all of the net proceeds of this offering to Parsley LLC in exchange for 79,627,508 PE Units, and (f) Parsley LLC will distribute to each PE Unit Holder one share of Class B common stock for each PE Unit such PE Unit Holder holds. After giving effect to these transactions and the offering contemplated by this prospectus, Parsley Inc. will own an approximate 71.3% interest in Parsley LLC (or 72.9% if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full) and the PE Unit Holders will own an approximate 28.7% interest in Parsley LLC (or 27.1% if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full).

Each share of the Class B common stock has no economic rights but entitles its holder to one vote on all matters to be voted on by shareholders generally. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our shareholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law or by our certificate of incorporation. We do not intend to list Class B common stock on any stock exchange.

The PE Unit Holders will have the right to exchange all or a portion of their PE Units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for Class A common stock (or the Cash Option) at an exchange ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each PE Unit (and corresponding share of Class B common stock) exchanged as described under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Parsley Energy LLC Agreement.” In addition, the PE Unit Holders and NGP will have the right, under certain circumstances, to cause us to register the offer and sale of their shares of Class A common stock as described under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights Agreement.”

We will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders. This agreement generally provides for the payment by Parsley Inc. to a TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that Parsley Inc. actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after this offering as a result of (i) any tax basis increases resulting from the contribution in connection with this offering by such TRA Holder of all or a portion of its PE Units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for shares of Class A common stock, (ii) the tax basis increases resulting from the exchange by

such TRA Holder of PE Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Right (or resulting from an exchange of PE Units for cash pursuant to the Cash Option) and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Parsley Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement.”

(1) The number of shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and PE Units to be issued to our Existing Owners is based on the implied equity value of Parsley LLC immediately prior to this offering, based on a initial public offering price of $16.50 per share of Class A common stock, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Any increase or decrease of the assumed initial public offering price will result in an increase or decrease in the number of shares of Class A common stock received by the holders of Incentive Units in Parsley LLC, but will not affect the aggregate numbers of shares of Class A common stock held by our Existing Owners. At an assumed public offering price of $16.50 (the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), Incentive Unit holders will receive 2.6 million shares of Class A common stock. A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price would increase (decrease) the aggregate number of shares to be received by the Incentive Unit holders by 0.1 million shares.
(2) Includes PE Units received with respect to the conversion of Incentive Units.
(3) Exclusive of executive officers preferred ownership which is reported in “other executive officers” ownership.

Offering

Only Class A common stock will be sold to investors pursuant to this offering. Immediately following this offering, there will be 79,627,508 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding and 32,086,042 shares of Class A common stock reserved for exchanges of PE Units and shares of Class B common stock pursuant to the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement. We estimate that our net proceeds from this offering, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering related expenses, will be approximately $562.5 million. We intend to contribute all of the net proceeds from this offering, to Parsley LLC in exchange for PE Units. Parsley LLC will use (i) approximately $6.7 million to make a cash payment in settlement of the Preferred Return, (ii) $165.3 million to reduce amounts drawn under Parsley LLC’s revolving credit facility, (iii) $132.8 million to fund the OGX Acquisition and related fees and expenses and (iv) any remaining net proceeds to fund a portion of our exploration and development program. In the event the acquisition of the OGX Acquisition does not close, we would use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to fund a portion of our exploration and development program.

As a result of the corporate reorganization and the offering described above (and prior to any exchanges of PE Units):

 

   

the investors in this offering will collectively own 43,900,000 shares of Class A common stock (or 50,485,000 shares of Class A common stock if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock);

 

134


Table of Contents
   

Parsley Inc. will hold 79,627,508 PE Units;

 

   

The Existing Owners will hold (i) 35,727,508 shares of Class A common stock and (ii) 32,086,042 shares of Class B common stock and a corresponding number of PE Units;

 

   

the investors in this offering will collectively hold 39.3% of the voting power in us; and

 

   

assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, the Existing Owners will hold 60.7% of the voting power in us (or 57.3% if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock).

Holding Company Structure

Our post-offering organizational structure will allow the PE Unit Holders to retain their equity ownership in Parsley LLC, a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Investors in this offering will, by contrast, hold their equity ownership in the form of shares of Class A common stock in us, and we are classified as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that the PE Unit Holders find it advantageous to hold their equity interests in an entity that is not taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The PE Unit Holders will generally incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their proportionate share of any taxable income of Parsley LLC.

In addition, pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement, our capital structure and the capital structure of Parsley LLC will generally replicate one another and will provide for customary antidilution mechanisms in order to maintain the one-for-one exchange ratio between the PE Units and our Class A common stock, among other things.

The holders of PE Units, including us, will generally incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their proportionate share of any taxable income of Parsley LLC and will be allocated their proportionate share of any taxable loss of Parsley LLC. The Parsley Energy LLC Agreement will provide, to the extent cash is available, for distributions pro rata to the holders of PE Units if we, as the managing member of Parsley LLC, determine that the taxable income of Parsley LLC will give rise to taxable income for a unitholder. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on our estimate of the taxable income of Parsley LLC that is allocable to a holder of PE Units, multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual (or, if higher, a corporation) resident in Texas (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses and the character of the allocated income).

We may accumulate cash balances in future years resulting from distributions from Parsley LLC exceeding our tax liabilities and our obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. To the extent we do not distribute such cash balances as a dividend on our Class A common stock and instead decide to hold or recontribute such cash balances to Parsley LLC for use in our operations, PE Unit Holders who exchange their PE Units for Class A common stock in the future could also benefit from any value attributable to any such accumulated cash balances.

We will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders. This agreement generally will provide for the payment by Parsley Inc. to a TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that Parsley Inc. actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after this offering as a result of (i) any tax basis increases resulting from the contribution in connection with this offering by such TRA Holder of all or a portion of its PE Units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for shares of Class A common stock, (ii) the tax basis increases resulting from the exchange of PE Units by such TRA Holder for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Right (or resulting from an exchange of PE Units for cash pursuant to the Cash Option) and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Parsley Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Parsley Energy LLC Agreement

The Parsley Energy LLC Agreement is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the following description of the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

In accordance with the terms of the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement, the PE Unit Holders will generally have the right to exchange their PE Units (and a corresponding number of shares of our Class B common stock) for shares of our Class A common stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each PE Unit (and corresponding share of Class B common stock) exchanged, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. At Parsley Inc.’s election, Parsley LLC may give the exchanging PE Unit Holders cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value of such Class A common stock instead of shares of Class A common stock. We will be obligated to facilitate an exchange for Class A common stock through a contribution of Class A common stock to Parsley LLC or, alternatively, we will have the right to acquire the subject PE Units and corresponding Class B common stock from the PE Unit Holders by paying, at our option, either (x) the number of shares of Class A common stock the PE Unit Holders would have received in the proposed exchange or (y) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value of such Class A common stock. “Cash Election Value” means, with respect to the Class A common stock to be delivered to an exchanging PE Unit Holder by Parsley LLC pursuant to the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement, the amount that would be received (i) if such shares of Class A common stock were sold at a per share price equal to the trailing 30-day volume weighted average price of a share of Class A common stock or (ii) in the event shares of Class A common stock are not then publicly traded, the value that would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction for cash between an informed and willing buyer and an informed and willing seller, neither of whom is under any compulsion to purchase or sell, respectively, and without regard to the particular circumstances of the buyer and the seller, as determined by Parsley Inc. The PE Unit Holders will be permitted to exchange their PE Units for shares of our Class A common stock on a quarterly basis, subject to certain de minimis allowances. In addition, any exchanges involving 1,000,000 or more PE Units (subject to the discretion of Parsley Inc. to permit exchanges of a lower number of units) may occur at any time. As the PE Unit Holders exchange their PE Units, our membership interest in Parsley LLC will be correspondingly increased and the number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding will be reduced.

Under the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement, we will have the right to determine when distributions will be made to the holders of PE Units and the amount of any such distributions. Following this offering, if we authorize a distribution, such distribution will be made to the holders of PE Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of PE Units.

The holders of PE Units, including us, will generally incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their proportionate share of any taxable income of Parsley LLC and will be allocated their proportionate share of any taxable loss of Parsley LLC. Net profits and net losses of Parsley LLC generally will be allocated to holders of PE Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of PE Units, except that certain non-pro rata adjustments will be required to be made to reflect built-in gains and losses and tax depletion, depreciation and amortization with respect to such built-in gains and losses. The Parsley Energy LLC Agreement will provide, to the extent cash is available, for distributions to the holders of PE Units if we, as the managing member of Parsley LLC, determine that the taxable income of Parsley LLC will give rise to taxable income for a unitholder. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on our estimate of the taxable income of Parsley LLC that is allocable to a holder of PE Units, multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual (or, if higher, a corporation) resident in Texas (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses and the character of the allocated income). In addition, if the cumulative amount of U.S. federal, state and local taxes payable by us exceeds the amount of the tax distribution to us, Parsley LLC will make advances to us in an amount necessary to enable us to fully pay these tax liabilities. Such advances will be repayable, without interest, solely from (i.e., by offset against) future distributions by Parsley LLC to us.

Table of Contents

The Parsley Energy LLC Agreement will provide that, except as otherwise determined by us, at any time we issue a share of our Class A common stock or any other equity security, the net proceeds received by us with respect to such issuance, if any, shall be concurrently invested in Parsley LLC, and Parsley LLC shall issue to us one PE Unit or other economically equivalent equity interest. Conversely, if at any time, any shares of our Class A common stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired, Parsley LLC shall redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire an equal number of PE Units held by us, upon the same terms and for the same price, as the shares of our Class A common stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired.

Under the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement, the members have agreed that NGP and/or one or more of its affiliates will be permitted to engage in business activities or invest in or acquire businesses which may compete with our business or do business with any client of ours.

Parsley LLC will be dissolved only upon the first to occur of (i) the sale of substantially all of its assets or (ii) an election by us to dissolve the company. Upon dissolution, Parsley LLC will be liquidated and the proceeds from any liquidation will be applied and distributed in the following manner: (a) first, to creditors (including to the extent permitted by law, creditors who are members) in satisfaction of the liabilities of Parsley LLC, (b) second, to establish cash reserves for contingent or unforeseen liabilities and (c) third, to the members in proportion to the number of PE Units owned by each of them.

Tax Receivable Agreement

As described in “—Parsley Energy LLC Agreement” above, in connection with this offering, the TRA Holders will contribute all or a portion of the PE Units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for Class A common stock and, in the future, the PE Unit Holders (and their permitted transferees) may exchange their PE Units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for shares of Class A common stock (on a one-for-one basis, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassification and other similar transactions or, at Parsley Inc.’s election, for cash). Parsley LLC intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Code that will be effective for the taxable year that includes this offering and each taxable year in which an exchange of PE Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Right (or an exchange of PE Units for cash pursuant to the Cash Option) occurs. Pursuant to the Section 754 election, the contribution of PE Units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for Class A common stock in connection with this offering and each future exchange of PE Units for Class A common stock (as well as any exchange of PE Units for cash) is expected to result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Parsley LLC, and these adjustments will be allocated to us. Adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Parsley LLC described above would not have been available absent these exchanges of PE Units. The anticipated basis adjustments are expected to increase (for tax purposes) our depreciation, depletion and amortization deductions and may also decrease our gains (or increase our losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. Such increased deductions and losses and reduced gains may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future.

We will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders. This agreement generally will provide for the payment by us to a TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after this offering as a result of (i) any tax basis increases resulting from the contribution in connection with this offering by such TRA Holder of all or a portion of its PE Units to Parsley Inc. in exchange for shares of Class A common stock, (ii) the tax basis increases resulting from the exchange by such TRA Holder of PE Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Right (or resulting from an exchange of PE Units for cash pursuant to the Cash Option) and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are our obligations and not obligations of Parsley LLC. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, cash savings in tax generally will be calculated by

Table of Contents

comparing our actual tax liability to the amount we would have been required to pay had we not been able to utilize any of the tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will commence upon the completion of this offering and will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or have expired, unless Parsley LLC exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors. The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of the exchanges, the price of Class A common stock at the time of each exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future and the tax rate then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement constituting imputed interest or depreciable or amortizable basis. We expect that the payments that we will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement could be substantial. Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law, we expect that if the Tax Receivable Agreement were terminated immediately after this offering, the estimated termination payment would be approximately $160.4 million (calculated using a discount rate equal to the LIBOR plus 300 basis points, applied against an undiscounted liability of $233.4 million). The foregoing amounts are merely estimates and the actual payments could differ materially. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement payments as compared to these estimates. Moreover, there may be a negative impact on our liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, (i) the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement and/or (ii) distributions to us by Parsley LLC are not sufficient to permit us to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement after we have paid our taxes and other obligations. Please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Offering and our Class A Common Stock—In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.” The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not be conditioned upon a holder of rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement having a continued ownership interest in either Parsley LLC or us.

In addition, although we are not aware of any issue that would cause the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), to challenge potential tax basis increases or other tax benefits covered under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the holders of rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not reimburse us for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if such basis increases or other benefits are subsequently disallowed, except that excess payments made to any such holder will be netted against payments otherwise to be made, if any, to such holder after our determination of such excess. As a result, in such circumstances, we could make payments that are greater than our actual cash tax savings, if any, and may not be able to recoup those payments, which could adversely affect our liquidity.

The Tax Receivable Agreement will provide that in the event that we breach any of our material obligations under it, whether as a result of our failure to make any payment when due (including in cases where we elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated early due to certain mergers or other changes of control or we have available cash but fail to make payments when due under circumstances where we do not have the right to elect to defer the payment, as described below), failure to honor any other material obligation under it or by operation of law as a result of the rejection of the Tax Receivable Agreement in a case commenced under the United States Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all our payment and other obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be accelerated and will become due and payable applying the same assumptions described above. Such payments could be substantial and could exceed our actual cash tax savings under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Additionally, we will have the right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement. If we elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early or it is terminated early due to certain mergers or other changes of control, we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits

Table of Contents

subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, which calculation of anticipated future tax benefits will be based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including the assumption that we have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize such benefits and that any PE Units that the PE Unit Holders or their permitted transferees own on the termination date are deemed to be exchanged on the termination date. Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future benefits and significantly exceed our realized tax savings.

Decisions we make in the course of running our business, such as with respect to mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes in control, may influence the timing and amount of payments that are received by the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For example, the earlier disposition of assets following an exchange of PE Units may accelerate payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments, and the disposition of assets before an exchange of PE Units may increase the TRA Holders’ tax liability without giving rise to any rights of the TRA Holders to receive payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Payments generally will be due under the Tax Receivable Agreement within 30 days following the finalization of the schedule with respect to which the payment obligation is calculated, although interest on such payments will begin to accrue from the due date (without extensions) of such tax return until such payment due date at a rate equal to the LIBOR plus 200 basis points. Except in cases where we elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated early due to certain mergers or other changes of control or we have available cash but fail to make payments when due, generally we may elect to defer payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement if we do not have available cash to satisfy our payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or if our contractual obligations limit our ability to make these payments. Any such deferred payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 500 basis points; provided, however, that interest will accrue at a rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points if we are unable to make such payment as a result of limitations imposed by existing credit agreements. We have no present intention to defer payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Because we are a holding company with no operations of our own, our ability to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is dependent on the ability of Parsley LLC to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement; this ability, in turn, may depend on the ability of Parsley LLC’s subsidiaries to make distributions to it. The ability of Parsley LLC, its subsidiaries and equity investees to make such distributions will be subject to, among other things, the applicable provisions of Delaware law that may limit the amount of funds available for distribution and restrictions in relevant debt instruments issued by Parsley LLC and/or its subsidiaries and equity investees. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.

The form of the Tax Receivable Agreement is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the foregoing description of the Tax Receivable Agreement is qualified by reference thereto.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the closing of this offering, we will enter into a registration rights agreement with certain of the Existing Owners. We expect that the agreement will contain provisions by which we agree to register under the federal securities laws the sale of shares of our Class A common stock by such Existing Owners or certain of their affiliates. These registration rights will be subject to certain conditions and limitations. We will generally be obligated to pay all registration expenses in connection with these registration obligations, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective.

(1) Subject to the terms of the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement, the PE Unit Holders will have the right to exchange all or a portion of their PE Units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for Class A common stock (or the Cash Option) at an exchange ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each PE Unit (and corresponding share of Class B common stock) exchanged. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Parsley Energy LLC Agreement.” Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, a person has beneficial ownership of a security as to which that person, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares voting power and/or investment power of such security and as to which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days. The Company has the option to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Class A common stock upon exercise by a PE Unit Holder of its exchange right. As a result, beneficial ownership of Class B common stock and PE Units is not reflected as beneficial ownership of shares of our Class A common stock for which such units and stock may be exchanged.
(2) Represents percentage of voting power of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock voting together as a single class. The PE Unit Holders will hold one share of Class B common stock for each PE Unit that they own. Each share of Class B common stock has no economic rights, but entitles the holder thereof to one vote for each PE Unit held by such holder. Accordingly, the PE Unit Holders collectively have a number of votes in Parsley Inc. equal to the number of PE Units that they hold. The number of shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and PE Units to be issued to our Existing Owners is based on the implied equity value of Parsley LLC immediately prior to this offering, based on a initial public offering price of $16.50 per share of Class A common stock, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Any increase or decrease of the assumed initial public offering price will result in an increase or decrease in the number of shares of Class A common stock received by the holders of Incentive Units in Parsley LLC, but will not affect the aggregate numbers of shares of Class A common stock held by our Existing Owners. At an assumed public offering price of $16.50 (the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), Incentive Unit holders will receive 2.6 million shares of Class A common stock. A $1.00 increase in the assumed public offering price would increase the aggregate number of shares to be received by the Incentive Unit holders by 0.3 million shares. A $1.00 decrease in the assumed public offering price would decrease the aggregate number of shares to be received by the Incentive Unit holders by 0.3 million shares. See “Corporation Reorganization,” “Description of Capital Stock—Class A Common Stock” and “—Class B Common Stock.”

Holders of shares of our Class A common stock are entitled to ratably receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any prior rights and preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock.

Liquidation Rights. Upon our liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or other winding up, the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive ratably the assets available for distribution to the shareholders after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any of our outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Other Matters. The shares of Class A common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights and are not subject to further calls or assessment by us. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock. All outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, including the Class A common stock offered in this offering, are fully paid and non-assessable.

Class B Common Stock

Generally. In connection with the reorganization and this offering, each PE Unit Holder will receive one share of Class B common stock for each PE Unit that it holds. Accordingly, each PE Unit Holder will have a number of votes in Parsley Inc. equal to the aggregate number of PE Units that it holds.

Voting Rights. Holders of shares of our Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders. Holders of shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our shareholders for their vote or approval, except with respect to the amendment of certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class B common stock so as to affect them adversely, which amendments must be by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the shares affected by the amendment, voting as a separate class, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Dividend and Liquidation Rights. Holders of our Class B common stock do not have any right to receive dividends, unless the dividend consists of shares of our Class B common stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for shares of Class B common stock paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of our Class B common stock and a dividend consisting of shares of Class A common stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into

or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock on the same terms is simultaneously paid to the holders of Class A common stock. Holders of our Class B common stock do not have any right to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or winding up of Parsley Inc.

Preferred Stock

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further shareholder approval, to establish and to issue from time to time one or more classes or series of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, covering up to an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Each class or series of preferred stock will cover the number of shares and will have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions determined by the board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights and redemption rights. Except as provided by law or in a preferred stock designation, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of shareholders.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and Delaware Law

Some provisions of Delaware law, and our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws described below, will contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: acquisitions of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal of our incumbent officers and directors. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that shareholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection and our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Law

We will not be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), regulating corporate takeovers. In general, those provisions prohibit a Delaware corporation, including those whose securities are listed for trading on the NYSE, from engaging in any business combination with any interested shareholder for a period of three years following the date that the shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless:

 

   

the transaction is approved by the board of directors before the date the interested shareholder attained that status;

 

   

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced; or

 

   

on or after such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at a meeting of shareholders by at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested shareholder.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, which will become effective upon the closing of this offering, may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control or change in our management, including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our shareholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.

Among other things, upon the completion of this offering, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will:

 

   

establish advance notice procedures with regard to shareholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our shareholders. These procedures provide that notice of shareholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our amended and restated bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all shareholders’ notices. These requirements may preclude shareholders from bringing matters before the shareholders at an annual or special meeting;

 

   

provide our board of directors the ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock. This ability makes it possible for our board of directors to issue, without shareholder approval, preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company;

 

   

provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors;

 

   

provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law or, if applicable, the rights of holders of a series of preferred stock, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;

 

   

provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of shareholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such shareholders, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock with respect to such series;

 

   

provide that our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our then outstanding Class A common stock;

 

   

provide that special meetings of our shareholders may only be called by the board of directors, the chief executive officer or the chairman of the board;

 

   

provide for our board of directors to be divided into three classes of directors, with each class as nearly equal in number as possible, serving staggered three year terms, other than directors which may be elected by holders of preferred stock, if any. This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for shareholders to replace a majority of the directors;

 

   

provide that we renounce any interest in existing and future investments in other entities by, or the business opportunities of, the Sponsors or any of their officers, directors, agents, shareholders, members, partners, affiliates and subsidiaries (other than our directors that are presented business opportunities in their capacity as our directors) and that they have no obligation to offer us those investments or opportunities; and

 

   

provide that our amended and restated bylaws can be amended by the board of directors.

Forum Selection

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for:

 

   

any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;

 

   

any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our shareholders;

 

   

any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee of ours arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws; or

 

   

any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee of ours that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case subject to such Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and to have consented to, this forum selection provision. Although we believe these provisions will benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors, officers, employees and agents. The enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with one or more actions or proceedings described above, a court could rule that this provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation is inapplicable or unenforceable.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the DGCL. Delaware law provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liabilities:

 

   

for any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders;

 

   

for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

   

for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock repurchase or redemption, as provided under Section 174 of the DGCL; or

 

   

for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Any amendment, repeal or modification of these provisions will be prospective only and would not affect any limitation on liability of a director for acts or omissions that occurred prior to any such amendment, repeal or modification.

Our amended and restated bylaws will also provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our amended and restated bylaws also will permit us to purchase insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of that person’s actions as our officer, director, employee or agent, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our current and future directors and officers. These agreements will require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We believe that the limitation of liability provision that will be in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the indemnification agreements will facilitate our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A common stock. Future sales of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market after such restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Class A common stock at such time and our ability to raise equity-related capital at a time and price we deem appropriate.

Sales of Restricted Shares

Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of 79,627,508 shares of Class A common stock. Of these shares, all of the 43,900,000 shares of Class A common stock (or 50,485,000 shares of Class A common stock if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised) to be sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the shares are held by any of our “affiliates” as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All remaining shares of Class A common stock held by existing shareholders will be deemed “restricted securities” as such term is defined under Rule 144. The restricted securities were issued and sold by us in private transactions and are eligible for public sale only if registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below.

In addition, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, pursuant to the terms of the Parsley Energy LLC Agreement, the PE Unit Holders will each have the right to exchange all or a portion of their PE Units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for Class A common stock (or the Cash Option) at an exchange ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each PE Unit (and corresponding share of Class B common stock) exchanged, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. Upon consummation of this offering, the PE Unit Holders will hold 32,086,042 PE Units, all of which (together with a corresponding number of shares of our Class B common stock) will be exchangeable for 32,086,042 shares of our Class A common stock. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Parsley Energy LLC Agreement.” The shares of Class A common stock we issue upon such exchanges would be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 described below. However, upon the closing of this offering, we intend to enter into a registration rights agreement with the PE Unit Holders and NGP that will require us to register under the Securities Act these shares of Class A common stock. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights Agreement.”

As a result of the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act, the shares of our Class A common stock (excluding the shares to be sold in this offering) that will be available for sale in the public market are as follows:

 

   

no shares will be eligible for sale on the date of this prospectus or prior to 180 days after the date of this prospectus; and

 

   

30,866,391 shares will be eligible for sale upon the expiration of the lock-up agreements, beginning 180 days after the date of this prospectus (subject to extension) and when permitted under Rule 144 or Rule 701.

Lock-up Agreements

We, all of our directors and officers, certain of our principal shareholders and certain of the selling shareholders have agreed not to sell any Class A common stock for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions and extensions. See “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” for a description of these lock-up provisions.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least sixth months (including any period of consecutive ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders) would be entitled to sell those shares, subject only to the availability of current public information about us. A non-affiliated person (who has been unaffiliated for at least the past three months) who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144.

A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of our Class A common stock or the average weekly trading volume of our Class A common stock reported through the NYSE during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of notice of the sale. Such sales are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who purchases shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the effective date of this offering is entitled to sell such shares 90 days after the effective date of this offering in reliance on Rule 144, without having to comply with the holding period requirement of Rule 144 and, in the case of non-affiliates, without having to comply with the public information, volume limitation or notice filing provisions of Rule 144. The SEC has indicated that Rule 701 will apply to typical stock options granted by an issuer before it becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, along with the shares acquired upon exercise of such options, including exercises after the date of this prospectus.

Stock Issued Under Employee Plans

We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register stock issuable under our Long-Term Incentive Plan. This registration statement on Form S-8 is expected to be filed following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and will be effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statement will be available for sale in the open market following the effective date, unless such shares are subject to vesting restrictions with us or the lock-up restrictions described above.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax and, to a limited extent, estate tax, consequences related to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below), that holds our Class A common stock as a “capital asset” (generally property held for investment). This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income or estate taxation that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their personal circumstances. In addition, this summary does not address the Medicare tax on certain investment income, U.S. federal gift tax laws, any state, local or foreign tax laws or any tax treaties. This summary also does not address tax considerations applicable to investors that may be subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as (without limitation):

 

   

banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

 

   

tax-exempt or governmental organizations;

 

   

dealers in securities or foreign currencies;

 

   

traders in securities that use the mark-to-market method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

   

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or holders of interests therein;

 

   

persons deemed to sell our Class A common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

 

   

persons that acquired our Class A common stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan;

 

   

certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; and

 

   

persons that hold our Class A common stock as part of a straddle, appreciated financial position, synthetic security, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

Non-U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this discussion, a “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of our Class A common stock that is not for U.S. federal income tax purposes any of the following:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

152


Table of Contents
   

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

 

   

a trust (i) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) which has made a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

If a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our Class A common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, we urge partners in partnerships (including entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) considering the purchase of our Class A common stock to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock by such partnership.

Distributions

As described in the section entitled “Dividend Policy,” we do not plan to make any distributions on our Class A common stock for the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on our Class A common stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the non-U.S. holder’s tax basis in our Class A common stock and thereafter as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such Class A common stock. See “—Gain on Disposition of Class A Common Stock.” Any distribution made to a non-U.S. holder on our Class A common stock generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the distribution unless an applicable income tax treaty provides for a lower rate. To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must provide the withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN (or other appropriate form) certifying qualification for the reduced rate.

Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are treated as attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) generally will be taxed on a net income basis at the rates and in the manner generally applicable to United States persons (as defined under the Code). Such effectively connected dividends will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder satisfies certain certification requirements by providing the withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI certifying eligibility for exemption. If the non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, it may also be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items).

Gain on Disposition of Class A Common Stock

A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock unless:

 

   

the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met;

 

   

the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States); or

 

   

our Class A common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest by reason of our status as a United States real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

153


Table of Contents

A non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount of such gain, which generally may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.

A non-U.S. holder whose gain is described in the second bullet point above generally will be taxed on a net income basis at the rates and in the manner generally applicable to United States persons (as defined under the Code) unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. If the non-U.S. holder is a corporation, it may also be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items) which will include such gain.

Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we currently are, and expect to remain for the foreseeable future, a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, as long as our Class A common stock is considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market, only a non-U.S. holder that actually or constructively owns or owned at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the Class A common stock, more than 5% of our Class A common stock will be taxable on gain recognized on the disposition of our Class A common stock as a result of our status as a USRPHC. If our Class A common stock were not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market, all non-U.S. holders generally would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a taxable disposition of our Class A common stock, and a 10% withholding tax would apply to the gross proceeds from the sale of our Class A common stock by such non-U.S. holders.

Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the application of the foregoing rules to their ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax

Our Class A common stock beneficially owned or treated as owned by an individual who is not a citizen or resident of the United States (as defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of death generally will be includable in the decedent’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes and thus may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Any dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder must be reported annually to the IRS and to the non-U.S. holder. Copies of these information returns may be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Payments of dividends to a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to backup withholding if the non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8.

Payments of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our Class A common stock effected by or through a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (at the applicable rate) unless the non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 and certain other conditions are met. Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to any payment of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a broker. However, unless such broker has documentary evidence in its records that the holder is a non-U.S. holder and certain other conditions are met, or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption, information reporting will apply to a payment of the proceeds of the disposition of our Class A common stock effected outside the United States by such a broker if it has certain relationships within the United States.

 

154


Table of Contents

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. income tax liability (if any) of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Requirements

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and the Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder, impose a 30% withholding tax on any dividends on our Class A common stock and on the gross proceeds from a disposition of our Class A common stock in each case if paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code) (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial institution or entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments, and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners), (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial United States owners of the entity, or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing these rules may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.

Payments subject to withholding tax under this law generally include dividends paid on Class A common stock of a U.S. corporation after June 30, 2014, and gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of such Class A common stock after December 31, 2016. Non-U.S. holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these withholding rules.

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED AS TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AND THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF U.S. FEDERAL GIFT TAX LAWS AND ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS AND TAX TREATIES.

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated to purchase all the shares of Class A common stock in the offering if any are purchased, other than those shares covered by the option described below. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the offering may be terminated.

We have granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 6,585,000 additional shares of our Class A common stock at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price has been negotiated between us, the selling shareholders and the representatives of the underwriters. The factors that were considered in these negotiations were:

 

   

the history of, and prospects for, us and the industry in which we compete;

 

   

our past and present financial performance;

 

   

an assessment of our management;

 

   

the present state of our development;

 

   

the prospects for our future earnings;

 

   

the prevailing conditions of the applicable United States securities market at the time of this offering; and

 

   

market valuations of publicly traded companies that we and the representatives of the underwriters believe to be comparable to us.

The underwriters propose to offer the shares of Class A common stock initially at the initial public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus and to selling group members at that price less a selling concession of $         per share. The underwriters and selling group members may allow a discount of $         per share on sales

to other broker/dealers. After the initial offering of the shares of Class A common stock, the underwriters may change the initial public offering price and concession and discount to broker/dealers. The offering of the shares of our Class A common stock by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part. Sales of shares of Class A common stock made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.

The following table summarizes the compensation and estimated expenses that we and the selling shareholders will pay:

   $         $         $         $     

The expenses of this offering that have been paid or are payable by us and the selling shareholders are estimated to be approximately $4.5 million (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions). We have agreed to pay expenses incurred by the selling shareholders in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. have informed us that they do not expect sales to accounts over which the underwriters have discretionary authority to exceed 5% of the shares of Class A common stock being offered.

In connection with this offering, we agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, we will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our Class A common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus.

Each of our officers and directors and NGP have agreed in connection with this offering that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our Class A common stock, enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of our Class A common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, in its sole discretion, may release the Class A common stock and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time. When determining whether or not to release the Class A common stock and other securities from lock-up agreements, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC may consider, among other factors, the holder’s reasons for requesting the release and the number of shares of Class A common stock or other securities for which the release is being requested.

The underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial public offering price up to 12.5% of the Class A common stock being offered by this prospectus for sale to our employees, executive officers, directors, business associates and related persons who have expressed an interest in purchasing Class A common stock in the offering. The number of shares available for sale to the general public in the offering will be reduced to the

 

157


Table of Contents

extent these persons purchase the reserved shares. Any reserved shares not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other shares. Any shares sold in the directed share program to directors and executive officers will be subject to the 180-day lock-up agreements described above.

We and the selling shareholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in that respect.

In addition, affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under the amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. A typical such hedging strategy would include these underwriters or their affiliates hedging such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities.

We have been approved, subject to official notice of issuance, for listing of our Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PE”. In order to meet one of the requirements for listing the Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, the underwriters will undertake to sell lots of 100 or more shares to a minimum of 400 beneficial owners.

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services for us and for our affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and would receive customary compensation.

A portion of the net proceeds from this offering will be used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Because affiliates of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are a lenders under our revolving credit facility and will receive 5% or more of the net proceeds of this offering, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are deemed to have a “conflict of interest” under FINRA Rule 5121. As a result, this offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121. Pursuant to that rule, the appointment of a “qualified independent underwriter” is not required in connection with this offering as the members primarily responsible for managing the public offering do not have a conflict of interest, are not affiliates of any member that has a conflict of interest and meet the requirements of paragraph (f)(12)(E) of FINRA Rule 5121. Neither Wells Fargo Securities, LLC nor J.P. Morgan Securities LLC will confirm any sales to any account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the specific written approval of the account holder. See “Summary—The Offering” and “Use of Proceeds” beginning on pages 13 and 51, respectively, for additional information.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investments and securities activities may involve long or short positions in securities and/or instruments of the issuer. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

 

158


Table of Contents

In connection with the offering the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and passive market making in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

 

   

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

 

   

Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in their option to purchase additional shares. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in their option to purchase additional shares. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

 

   

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Class A common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

   

Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the Class A common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

 

   

In passive market making, market makers in the Class A common stock who are underwriters or prospective underwriters may, subject to limitations, make bids for or purchases of our Class A common stock until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is made.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our Class A common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Class A common stock. As a result the price of our Class A common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more of the underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering and one or more of the underwriters participating in this offering may distribute prospectuses electronically. The representative may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Introduction

Parsley Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) is a newly-formed Delaware corporation formed by Parsley Energy, LLC (“Parsley Energy”) to engage in the acquisition, development, and exploitation of unconventional oil and natural gas reserves in the Permian Basin in West Texas. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company reflect the historical consolidated and combined results of Parsley Energy, on a pro forma basis to give effect to the following transactions, which are described in further detail below, as if they had occurred on March 31, 2014, for pro forma balance sheet purposes, and on January 1, 2013, for pro forma income statement purposes:

 

   

in the case of the unaudited consolidated and combined pro forma statements of operations data, the Merit Acquisition as described in Note 5 to the historical consolidated and combined financial statements of Parsley Energy elsewhere in this prospectus;

 

   

the Pacer Acquisition as described under “Recent Developments—Recent Acquisitions” elsewhere in this prospectus;

 

   

in the case of the unaudited consolidated and combined pro forma statements of operations data, the repayment in full and termination of our second lien credit facility and the repayment of amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility with the proceeds of our February 2014 senior unsecured notes offering;

 

   

the repayment of amounts drawn under our revolving credit facility with the proceeds of our April 2014 senior unsecured notes offering;

 

   

the Corporate Reorganization described under “Corporate Reorganization” elsewhere in this prospectus;

 

   

the initial public offering of shares of common stock and the use of the net proceeds therefrom as described in “Use of Proceeds” (the “Offering”). For purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial statements, the Offering is defined as the planned issuance and sale to the public of 36,363,636 shares of Class A common stock of the Company as contemplated by this prospectus and the application by the Company of the net proceeds from such issuance as described in “Use of Proceeds.” The net proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock are expected to be $562.5 million (based on an assumed initial public offering price of $16.50 the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), net of underwriting discounts of $33.0 million and other offering costs of $4.5 million (of which $2.5 million had been paid prior to or on March 31, 2014); and

 

   

in the case of the unaudited consolidated and combined pro forma statements of operations data, a provision for corporate income taxes at an effective rate of 36%, inclusive of all U.S. federal, state and local income taxes.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined balance sheet of the Company is based on the historical consolidated and combined balance sheet of Parsley Energy as of March 31, 2014 and includes pro forma adjustments to give effect to the described transactions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined statements of operations of the Company are based on (i) the audited historical consolidated and combined statement of operations of Parsley Energy for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the unaudited historical consolidated and combined statement of operations of Parsley Energy for the three months ended March 31, 2014, both having been adjusted to give effect to the described transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2013, and (ii) the historical accounting records of Parsley Energy.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will be taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and as a

result, will become a tax-paying entity subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes, and should be read in conjunction with “Corporate Reorganization,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and with the audited historical consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes of Parsley Energy, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The pro forma data presented reflect events directly attributable to the described transactions and certain assumptions the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma data are not necessarily indicative of financial results that would have been attained had the described transactions occurred on the dates indicated below or which could be achieved in the future because they necessarily exclude various operating expenses, such as incremental general and administrative expenses associated with being a public company. The adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, the actual adjustments may differ from the pro forma adjustments. However, management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions as contemplated and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes are presented for illustrative purposes only. If the Offering and other transactions contemplated herein had occurred in the past, the Company’s operating results might have been materially different from those presented in the unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial statements should not be relied upon as an indication of operating results that the Company would have achieved if the Offering and other transactions contemplated herein had taken place on the specified date. In addition, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined statements of operations and should not be relied on as an indication of the future results the Company will have after the completion of the Offering and the other transactions contemplated by these unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION, THE OFFERING AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

The historical financial information is derived from the consolidated and combined financial statements of Parsley Energy included elsewhere in this prospectus. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined balance sheet, it is assumed that the transactions had taken place on March 31, 2014. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined statements of operations, it is assumed all transactions had taken place on January 1, 2013.

Upon closing of the Offering, the Company expects to incur direct, incremental general and administrative expenses as a result of being a publicly traded company, including, but not limited to, costs associated with annual and quarterly reports to stockholders, tax return preparation, independent auditor fees, investor relations activities, registrar and transfer agent fees, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs, and independent director compensation. The Company estimates these direct, incremental general and administrative expenses initially will total approximately $2.0 million per year. These direct, incremental general and administrative expenditures are not reflected in the historical consolidated and combined financial statements or in the unaudited pro forma financial statements.

Parsley Energy, Inc. was incorporated by Parsley Energy, LLC (“Parsley Energy”) as a Delaware corporation in December 2013. Following this offering and the transactions related thereto, Parsley Energy, Inc. will be a holding company whose sole material asset will consist of a membership interest in Parsley Energy. Parsley Energy owns all of the outstanding equity interests in Parsley Energy, L.P. (“Parsley LP”), Parsley Energy Management, LLC (“PEM”) and Parsley Energy Operations, LLC (“PEO”), the operating subsidiaries through which we operate our assets. After the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this prospectus, Parsley Energy, Inc. will be the sole managing member of Parsley Energy and will be responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Parsley Energy’s business and will consolidate the financial results of Parsley Energy and its subsidiaries. The Limited Liability Company Agreement of Parsley Energy, LLC will be amended and restated as the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Parsley Energy, LLC (the “Parsley Energy LLC Agreement”) to, among other things, admit Parsley Energy, Inc. as the sole managing member of Parsley Energy.

In connection with this offering, (a) all of the membership interests (including outstanding incentive units) in Parsley Energy held by its existing owners, including NGP X US Holdings, L.P. (“NGP”) and all of our executive officers (the “Existing Owners”), will be converted into a single class of units in Parsley Energy (“PE Units”) using an implied equity valuation for Parsley Energy prior to the offering based on the initial public offering price to the public for our Class A common stock set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and the current relative levels of ownership in Parsley Energy, (b) certain of the Existing Owners, including NGP, will contribute all of their PE Units to Parsley Energy, Inc. in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, (c) certain of the Existing Owners, including our executive officers, will contribute only a portion of their PE Units to Parsley Energy, Inc. in exchange for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock and will continue to own a portion of the PE Units following this offering, (d) Parsley Energy Employee Holdings, LLC, an entity owned by certain of our officers and employees formed to hold a portion of the incentive units in Parsley Energy, will merge with and into Parsley Energy, Inc., with Parsley Energy, Inc. surviving the merger, and the members of Parsley Energy Employee Holdings, LLC will receive shares of Class A common stock in the merger, (e) Parsley Energy, Inc. will issue and contribute 32,086,042 shares of its Class B common stock and all of the net proceeds of this offering to Parsley Energy in exchange for 79,627,508 PE Units, and (f) Parsley Energy will distribute to each of the Existing Owners that will continue to own PE Units following this offering (collectively, the “PE Unit Holders”), one share of Class B common stock for each PE Unit such PE Unit Holder holds. After giving effect to these transactions and the offering contemplated by this

PARSLEY ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

prospectus, Parsley Energy, Inc. will own an approximate 71.3% interest in Parsley Energy (or 72.9% if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full) and the PE Unit Holders will own an approximate 28.7% interest in Parsley Energy (or 27.1% if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full).

Each share of Class B common stock has no economic rights but entitles its holder to one vote on all matters to be voted on by shareholders generally. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our shareholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law or by our certificate of incorporation. We do not intend to list Class B common stock on any stock exchange.

The PE Unit Holders will have the right to exchange (the “Exchange Right”) all or a portion of their PE Units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) for Class A common stock (or cash at our election (the “Cash Option”)) at an exchange ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each PE Unit (and corresponding share of Class B common stock) exchanged subject to adjustment as described under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Parsley Energy LLC Agreement.” In addition, the PE Unit Holders and NGP will have the right, under certain circumstances, to cause us to register the offer and resale of their shares of Class A common stock as described under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights Agreement.”

We will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with Parsley Energy and the PE Unit Holders. This agreement generally will provide for the payment by Parsley Energy, Inc. to an exchanging PE Unit Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that Parsley Energy, Inc. actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after this offering as a result of (i) the tax basis increases resulting from the exchange of PE Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Exchange Right (or resulting from an exchange of PE Units for cash pursuant to the Cash Option) and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Parsley Energy, Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement.”

The step-up in basis will depend on the fair value of the PE Units at the time of each exchange. There is no intent of the holders of PE Units to exchange their units for shares of the Company’s common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company does not expect to be in a tax paying position before             . Therefore, the Company cannot presently estimate what the benefit or payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be on a factually supportable basis. If the Tax Receivable Agreement were terminated immediately after the Offering, the Company estimates it would be required to make an early termination payment of approximately $160.4 million to the PE Unit Holders.

NOTE 2.    PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

The Company made the following adjustments and assumptions in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined balance sheet:

 

(a) Adjustments reflect the Pacer Acquisition using borrowings under our revolving credit facility. A summary of the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired is as follows (in thousands):

 

Cash paid

   $ 165,282   
  

 

 

 

Fair Value of oil and natural gas properties

  

Unevaluated properties

   $ 136,912   

Proved properties

     28,526   

Asset retirement obligation assumed

     (156)   
  

 

 

 

Total net assets acquired

   $ 165,282   
  

 

 

 

 

(b) Adjustments to reflect the issuance on April 17, 2014 of $150.0 million of 7.5% senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2022 at 104% of par for gross proceeds of $156.0 million. The issuance of these notes resulted in net proceeds, after offering expenses, of approximately $152.8 million, $130.0 million of which was used to repay all outstanding borrowings (as of March 31, 2014) on the revolving credit agreement.

 

(c) Reflects (1) the issuance of 43.3 million shares of Class A common stock to certain holders of PE Units, including NGP, in exchange for their PE Units, (2) the issuance of 32.1 million shares of Class B common stock to Parsley Energy, (3) the effective termination of the redemption rights held by certain interest holders and (4) the cash payment of approximately $5.6 million to holders of mezzanine equity interests in Parsley Energy that will be converted to PE Units.

 

(d) Reflects estimated change in long-term deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences between the historical cost basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities as the result of its change in tax status to a subchapter C corporation.

 

(e) Reflects the effect of the tax receivable agreement on our consolidated and combined balance sheet as a result of the Company’s purchase of PE Units from Parsley Energy. Pursuant to the tax receivable agreement, the Company will be required to make cash payments to our existing owners equal to 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local tax that the Company actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of certain future tax benefits to which the Company may become entitled. These tax benefit payments are not necessarily conditioned upon one or more of the existing owners maintaining a continued ownership interest in either Parsley Energy or the Company. The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any, that it may actually realize.

 

(f) Reflects estimated gross proceeds of $600.0 million from the issuance and sale of 36,363,636 shares of common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of $16.50 per share, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $33.0 million, in the aggregate, and additional estimated expenses related to the Offering of approximately $2.0 million. Upon completion of the Offering, the noncontrolling interest will be 28.7%. Pro forma cash and cash equivalents includes $132.8 million of the net proceeds of the Offering that the Company intends to use to fund the OGX Acquisition and related fees and expenses.

 

(g) Reflects the use of a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to repay approximately $165.3 million of outstanding borrowings under Parsley Energy’s revolving credit facility.

 

(h) Reflects additional incentive unit compensation expense as a result of acceleration of vesting and settlement of incentive units as a result of the Offering. A corresponding charge to earnings has not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma statement of operations as the charge is considered non-recurring.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company made the following adjustments and assumptions in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined statement of operations:

 

(a) Unless otherwise noted, adjustments reflect the historical statements of revenues and direct operating expenses from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merit Acquisition, as included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

(b) Adjustment reflects additional depreciation, depletion and amortization expense that would have been recorded with respect to the assets acquired in the Merit Acquisition, had such acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013.

 

(c) Adjustment reflects additional accretion of asset retirement obligation expense that would have been recorded with respect to the asset retirement obligation assumed in the Merit Acquisition, had such acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013.

(e) Adjustment reflects additional Texas franchise taxes that would have been incurred in connection with the Merit Acquisition, had such acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013.

 

(f) Unless otherwise noted, adjustments reflect the historical statements of revenues and direct operating expenses from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Pacer Acquisition, as included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

(g) Adjustment reflects additional depreciation, depletion and amortization expense that would have been recorded with respect to the assets acquired in the Pacer Acquisition, had such acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013.

(j) Adjustment reflects additional Texas franchise taxes that would have been incurred in connection with the Pacer Acquisition, had such acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013.

 

(k) Reflects the addition of approximately $42.0 million of interest expense and amortization of debt discount and offering expenses associated with Parsley Energy LLC and Parsley Finance Corp.’s 7.5% senior unsecured notes issued in February 2014 and April 2014 for the year ended December 31, 2013, net of the elimination of $19.6 million of interest expense and amortization of debt issue costs for the year ended December 31, 2013, related to repayments of Parsley Energy’s second lien credit agreement and borrowings under Parsley LP’s revolving credit agreement.

 

(l) Reflects estimated incremental income tax provision associated with the Company’s historical results of operations assuming the Company’s earnings had been subject to federal income tax as a subchapter C corporation using a statutory tax rate of approximately 36%.

NOTE 4.    SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURE OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS OPERATIONS

The following pro forma standardized measure of the discounted net future cash flows and changes applicable to the Parsley Energy’s proved reserves reflect the effect of income taxes assuming Parsley Energy’s standardized measure had been subject to federal and state income tax as a subchapter C corporation. The future cash flows are discounted at 10% per year and assume continuation of existing economic conditions.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, in management’s opinion, should be examined with caution. The basis for this table is the reserve studies prepared by independent petroleum engineering consultants, which contain imprecise estimates of quantities and rates of production of reserves. Revisions of previous year estimates can have a significant impact on these results. Also, exploration costs in one year may lead to significant discoveries in later years and may significantly change previous estimates of proved reserves and their valuation. Therefore, the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow is not necessarily indicative of the fair value of Parsley Energy’s proved oil and natural gas properties.

The data presented should not be viewed as representing the expected cash flow from or current value of, existing proved reserves since the computations are based on a large number of estimates and arbitrary assumptions. Reserve quantities cannot be measured with precision and their estimation requires many judgmental determinations and frequent revisions. Actual future prices and costs are likely to be substantially different from the prices and costs utilized in the computation of reported amounts.

The following table provides a pro forma rollforward of the total proved reserves for the year ended December 31, 2013 , as well as pro forma proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves at the beginning and end of the year, as if the acquisition reflected occurred on January 1, 2013.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1.    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Parsley Energy, LLC was formed on June 11, 2013, as a Delaware limited liability company and is primarily engaged in the acquisition, development, production, exploration, and sale of crude oil and natural gas properties located primarily in the Permian Basin, which is located in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico. Concurrent with the formation of Parsley Energy, LLC, all of the interest holders of Parsley Energy, L.P. (“Parsley LP”), Parsley Energy Management, LLC (“PEM”) and Parsley Energy Operations, LLC (“PEO”) exchanged their interest in each entity in return for interest in Parsley Energy, LLC (the “Exchange”). Prior to the formation of Parsley Energy, LLC, 67.8% of Parsley LP, 100% of PEM and 100% of PEO were held by Mr. Bryan Sheffield, Parsley Energy, LLC’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“Sheffield”). Subsequent to Parsley Energy, LLC’s formation, Sheffield controlled 53.7% of Parsley Energy, LLC. As such, as all power and authority to control the core functions of Parsley LP, PEM and PEO were, and continue to be, controlled by Sheffield, the Exchange has been treated as a reorganization of entities under common control and the results of Parsley LP, PEM and PEO have been consolidated and combined for all periods. The financial statements of the legal acquirer, Parsley Energy, LLC, were not significant; therefore, no pro forma financial information is submitted.

Parsley LP was formed on February 29, 2008, as a Texas limited partnership and is primarily engaged in the acquisition, development, production, exploration, and sale of crude oil and natural gas properties located in the Permian Basin in West Texas. On September 9, 2011, Parsley LP formed, and held all of the interest in, Spraberry Energy, LLC (“Spraberry”), a Texas limited liability company. On November 20, 2012, Spraberry merged with and into Parsley LP, thereby terminating Spraberry’s corporate existence.

PEM was formed on February 19, 2008, as a Texas limited liability company and was formed to be the general partner of Parsley LP.

PEO was formed on February 19, 2008, as a Texas limited liability company and is primarily engaged in the operation of crude oil and natural gas properties located in the Permian Basin in West Texas.

Parsley LP also owns a noncontrolling 50% investment in Spraberry Production Services LLC (“SPS”). SPS was formed on August 27, 2010, as a Texas limited liability company and is primarily engaged in the oilfield services business servicing properties located in the Permian Basin in West Texas.

NOTE 2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accounts of Parsley Energy, LLC and its subsidiaries are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. These condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of Parsley Energy, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Parsley LP, (ii) PEM, (iii) PEO, and (iv) Parsley Energy Aviation, LLC, Texas limited liability company formed on March 22, 2013. References to “Parsley Energy” refer to Parsley Energy, LLC and all of its subsidiaries. Parsley Energy accounts for its investment in SPS on the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany and intra-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. We recommend that these condensed consolidated and combined financial statements be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes contained elsewhere in this prospectus.

Transfers of a business between entities under common control are accounted for as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the period, and prior years are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. As discussed above, the Exchange has been accounted for as transactions between entities under common control thus the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes of Parsley Energy have been retrospectively re-cast to include the historical results of the entities involved at historical carrying values and their operations as if they were consolidated and combined for all periods presented.

In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results of the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

Use of Estimates

These condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP. Preparation in accordance with GAAP requires us to (1) adopt accounting policies within accounting rules set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (2) make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and other disclosed amounts. Note 3— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, included elsewhere in this prospectus, describes our significant accounting policies. Our management believes the major estimates and assumptions impacting our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements are the following:

 

   

estimates of proved reserves of oil and natural gas, which affect the calculations of depletion, depreciation and amortization and impairment of capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties;

 

   

estimates of asset retirement obligations;

 

   

estimates of the fair value of oil and natural gas properties we own, particularly properties that we have not yet explored, or fully explored, by drilling and completing wells;

 

   

impairment of undeveloped properties and other assets;

 

   

depreciation of property and equipment; and

 

   

valuation of commodity derivative instruments.

Actual results may differ from estimates and assumptions of future events and these revisions could be material. Future production may vary materially from estimated oil and natural gas proved reserves. Actual future prices may vary significantly from price assumptions used for determining proved reserves and for financial reporting.

Significant Accounting Policies

For a complete description of Parsley Energy’s significant accounting policies, see Note 3 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our audited financial statements included herein.

Significant Customers

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, each of the following purchasers accounted for more than 10% of our revenue:

 

     For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
     2014     2013  

Plains Marketing, L.P.

Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent WestTex, LLC

     17     13

Permian Transport & Trading

     16     21

Shell Trading (US) Company

     7     11

Parsley Energy does not require collateral and does not believe the loss of any single purchaser would materially impact its operating results, as crude oil and natural gas are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous purchasers.

Income Taxes

Parsley Energy, LLC is organized as a Delaware limited liability company and is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the net taxable income of Parsley Energy, LLC and any related tax credits are passed through to the members and are included in their tax returns even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. Accordingly, no U.S. federal tax provision has been made in the financial statements of Parsley Energy.

However, Parsley Energy’s operations located in Texas are subject to an entity-level tax, the Texas margin tax, at a statutory rate of up to 1.0% of income that is apportioned to Texas. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future Texas margin tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective Texas margin tax bases. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Parsley Energy’s net long-term deferred tax liability related solely to carrying value differences associated with Parsley Energy’s property, plant and equipment.

These financial statements have been prepared in anticipation of a proposed initial public offering (the “Offering”) of Parsley Energy’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Parsley Energy, Inc. In connection with the Offering, interests in Parsley Energy, LLC will be contributed to a newly formed Delaware corporation which will be treated as a taxable C corporation and thus will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, a pro forma income tax provision has been disclosed as if Parsley Energy was a taxable corporation for all periods presented. Parsley Energy has computed pro forma tax expense using a 36% blended corporate level U.S. federal and state tax rate.

Net Income Per Unit

Parsley Energy has omitted net income per unit due to the limited number of unit holders for the periods presented.

Comprehensive Income

Parsley Energy has no elements of comprehensive income other than net income.

Revision of First Quarter 2014 Financial Statements

During the preparation of our registration statement on Form S-1, of which these financial statements are a part, we identified and corrected errors in our accrual for earned oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production previously reported in our financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2014. As a result, the table below sets forth the effect of errors in certain of our reported amounts in our condensed consolidated and combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2014, and condensed consolidated and combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Members’ equity

     31,407         31,663         256   

We assessed the materiality of the errors in accordance with the SEC guidance on considering the effects of misstatements based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors. Based on this analysis, we determined that the errors were immaterial to the three months ended March 31, 2014. We have reflected the correction of these errors in the period in which they originated and revised our condensed consolidated and combined balance sheet and statements of operations and changes in members’ equity as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As exploration and development work progresses and the reserves on these properties are proven, capitalized costs attributed to the properties are subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”). Depletion of capitalized costs is provided using the units-of-production method based on proved oil and gas reserves related to the associated reservoir. At March 31, 2014, Parsley Energy had excluded $122.1 million of capitalized costs from depletion. Depreciation and depletion expense on capitalized oil and gas property was $18.1 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Parsley Energy had no exploratory wells in progress at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Parsley Energy capitalizes interest, if debt is outstanding, during drilling operations in its exploration and development activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Parsley Energy capitalized interest of $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Depreciation expense on other property and equipment was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 5.    ACQUISITIONS OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

The following acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition method under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations , which requires the acquired assets and liabilities to be recorded at fair values as of the respective acquisition dates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Parsley Energy acquired, from unaffiliated individuals and entities, additional working interests in wells it operates through a number of separate, individually negotiated transactions for an aggregate total cash consideration of $12.3 million. Parsley Energy reflected the total consideration paid as part of its cost subject to depletion within its oil and gas properties.

On March 27, 2014, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which it agreed to acquire 2,240 gross (2,005 net) acres in its Midland Basin-Core area and seven gross (6.3 net) wells for total consideration of $165.3 million. The purchase and sale agreement has an anticipated closing date of May 1, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions.

On December 30, 2013, Parsley Energy acquired non-operated working interests in a number of wells which it currently operates for $80.0 million (the “Merit Acquisition”). The transaction did not increase Parsley Energy’s gross acreage position, but increases its net acreage by 637 acres in Upton County, Texas.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the following pro forma financial information represents the combined results for the Company and the properties acquired in the Merit Acquisition as if the acquisition and the required financing had occurred on January 1, 2011. For purposes of the pro forma it was assumed that the Company’s revolving credit facility was used to finance the Merit Acquisition. The pro forma information includes the effects of adjustments for depletion, depreciation, amortization expense of $0.4 million and accretion of asset retirement obligations expense of $0.003 million. The pro forma information also includes the effects of incremental interest expense on acquisition financing of $0.6 million.

The following pro forma results (in thousands) do not include any cost savings or other synergies that may result from the acquisitions or any estimated costs that have been or will be incurred by the Company to integrate the properties acquired. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisitions had been completed as of the beginning of the period, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results.

NOTE 6.    EQUITY INVESTMENT

We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in SPS, with earnings or losses, after adjustment for intra-company profits and losses, reported in the income (loss) from equity investment line on the consolidated and combined statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance of Parsley Energy’s investment in SPS was $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The investment balance was increased by $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 for Parsley Energy’s share of SPS’ net income, before adjustment for intra-company profits and losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, SPS provided services to Parsley Energy in its oil and natural gas field development operations, which Parsley Energy capitalized as part of its oil and gas properties. As such, that portion of Parsley Energy’s share of SPS’ gross profit from these services totaling $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was subsequently eliminated from its share of SPS’s net income and a corresponding reduction was made to the carrying value of its investment.

NOTE 7.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Commodity Derivative Instruments and Concentration of Risk

Objective and Strategy

Parsley Energy uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to cash-flow variability from commodity-price risk inherent in its crude oil exploration and production activities. These include exchange traded and over-the-counter (OTC) crude options and collars with the underlying contract and settlement pricings based on NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Henry Hub, respectively. Options and collars are used to establish a floor price, or floor and ceiling prices, for expected future oil and natural gas sales. Three way collars are also used to manage commodity price risk. A three way collar is a combination of three options: a sold call, a purchased put, and a sold put. The sold call establishes the maximum price that Parsley Energy will receive for the contracted commodity volumes. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that Parsley Energy will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the minimum price equals the reference price plus the excess of the purchased put strike price over the sold put strike price. As of March 31, 2014, we had entered into hedging contracts through June 2016 covering a total of approximately 4,440 MBbl of our projected oil production primarily through the purchases of put spreads and three-way collars. We had also entered into natural gas collars through December 2015 covering approximately 5,200 MMBtu of our projected natural gas production.

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Parsley Energy has agreements in place with all its counterparties that allow for the financial right of offset for derivative assets and liabilities at settlement or in the event of default under the agreements. Additionally, Parsley Energy maintains accounts with its brokers to facilitate financial derivative transactions in support of its risk management activities. Based on the value of Parsley Energy’s positions in these accounts and the associated margin requirements, Parsley Energy may be required to deposit cash into these broker accounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, Parsley Energy had posted margins with some of its counterparties to collateralize certain derivative positions. The following table presents Parsley Energy’s net exposure from its offsetting derivative asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral on deposit with the brokers as of the reporting dates indicated (in thousands):

Concentration of Credit Risk

The financial integrity of Parsley Energy’s exchange traded contracts is assured by NYMEX through systems of financial safeguards and transaction guarantees, and is therefore subject to nominal credit risk. Over-the-counter traded options expose Parsley Energy to counterparty credit risk. These OTC options are entered into with a large multinational financial institution with investment grade credit rating or through brokers that require all the transaction parties to collateralize their open option positions. The gross and net credit exposure from our commodity derivative contracts as of March 31, 2014 is summarized in the table above.

Parsley Energy monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties, established credit limits according to Parsley Energy’s credit policies and guidelines, and assesses the impact on fair values of its counterparties’ creditworthiness. Parsley Energy has netting agreements with its counterparties and brokers that permit net settlement of gross commodity derivative assets against gross commodity derivative liabilities, and routinely exercises its contractual right to offset realized gains against realized losses when settling with derivative counterparties. Parsley Energy did not incur any losses due to counterparty bankruptcy filings during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features in Derivatives

Certain commodity derivative instruments contain provisions that require Parsley Energy to either post additional collateral or immediately settle any outstanding liability balances upon the occurrence of a specified credit risk related event. These events, which are defined by the existing commodity derivative contracts, are

Senior Unsecured Notes

On February 5, 2014, Parsley Energy and Parsley Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation formed on January 15, 2014, issued $400 million of 7.5% senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2022 (the “Senior Notes”). Interest is payable on the notes semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing August 15, 2014. These notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parsley Energy. The issuance of these notes resulted in net proceeds, after discounts and offering expenses, of approximately $391.4 million, $198.5 million of which was used to repay all outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and a prepayment penalty under the Company’s second lien credit agreement and $175.1 million of which was used to partially repay amounts outstanding, plus accrued interest, under the Company’s revolving credit agreement.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On September 10, 2013, Parsley Energy entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank National Association as the administrative agent. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity up to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and (ii) $750.0 million. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on the earlier of (i) September 10, 2018 and (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity of the Second Lien Agreement, discussed below, being currently December 31, 2016. The Revolving Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of Parsley Energy’s assets.

The Revolving Credit Agreement provided for an initial borrowing base of $175.0 million based on Parsley Energy’s proved producing reserves and a portion of its proved undeveloped reserves. The borrowing base will be redetermined by the lenders at least semi-annually on each April 1 and October 1, with the first redetermination on October 1, 2013. The amount Parsley Energy is able to borrow with respect to the borrowing base is subject to compliance with the financial covenants and other provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement can be made in Eurodollars or at the alternate base rate. Eurodollar loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an adjusted LIBO rate (equal to the product of: (a) the LIBO rate, multiplied by (b) a fraction (expressed as a decimal), the numerator of which is the number one and the denominator of which is the number one minus the aggregate of the maximum reserve percentages (expressed as a decimal) on such date at which the Administrative Agent is required to maintain reserves on ‘Eurocurrency Liabilities’ as defined in and pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) plus an applicable margin ranging from 150 to 250 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing base utilized. Alternate base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the agent bank’s reference rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points and (iii) the adjusted LIBO rate (as calculated above) plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin ranging from 50 to 150 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing base utilized. The Revolving Credit Agreement also provides for a commitment fee ranging from 375 basis points to 500 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing base utilized. As of December 31, 2013, borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement had a weighted average interest rate of 3.31%. We may repay any amounts borrowed prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty other than customary LIBOR breakage costs.

The Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to certain covenants, which includes the maintenance of the following financial covenants: (1) a Current Ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter and (2) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date; provided that for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the relevant period shall be deemed to equal, as applicable, for the three, six or nine-month period then ending, as applicable, multiplied by 4, 2 and 4/3, respectively (each of the capitalized terms used in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires the timely submission of annual and quarterly financial statements, reserve reports, budgets, and other notices, along with meeting other recurring obligations. At March 31, 2014, Parsley Energy was in compliance with all required covenants.

The Revolving Credit Agreement also places restrictions on Parsley Energy and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to additional indebtedness, liens, dividends and other payments, investments, acquisitions, mergers, asset dispositions, transactions with affiliates, hedging transactions and other matters.

The Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to customary events of default, including a change in control (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Majority Lenders (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) may accelerate any amounts outstanding.

On October 21, 2013, Parsley Energy amended and restated its Revolving Credit Agreement, whereby the borrowing base was reduced from $175.0 million to $143.8 million. On December 20, 2013, Parsley Energy entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which increased the borrowing base from $143.8 million to $240 million. In addition, the amendment provided that the borrowing base would automatically increase from $240 million to $280 million upon the closing of the Merit Acquisition, which closed on December 30, 2013.

On February 5, 2014, in connection with the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes, Parsley Energy entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement whereby the maturity date was extended to September 10, 2018, and the borrowing base was reduced from $280.0 million to $227.5 million.

NOTE 9.    MEMBERS’ EQUITY

Parsley Energy’s operations are governed by the provisions of a limited liability company agreement (the “Parsley LLC Agreement”). There are no current outstanding equity commitments of the members. Allocations of net income and loss are allocated to the members based on a hypothetical liquidation.

As discussed in Note 1, effective June 11, 2013, Parsley Energy acquired all of the limited and general partnership interests of Parsley LP, PEM and PEO (the “Partnerships”), all of which were under common control, in exchange for the issuance of interests in Parsley Energy. The exchange of shares between Parsley Energy and the Partnerships was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the merger was recorded as a recapitalization of Parsley Energy, with the consolidated and combined financials of the Partnerships being treated as the continuing entity.

Limitations of Members’ liabilities

Pursuant to the Parsley LLC Agreement (and as is customary for limited liability companies), the liability of the Members is limited to their contributed capital.

LLC Interest Issuance

On June 11, 2013, Parsley Energy issued membership interests to NGP X US Holdings, L.P. and other investors for total consideration of $73.5 million. These interest holders were designated as “Preferred Holders” and granted certain rights in Parsley Energy’s limited liability company agreement. Included with these rights were (1) the right to receive a 9.5% return on their invested capital prior to any distribution to any other unit holders (the “Preferred Return”) and (2) the right to require Parsley Energy to redeem all, but not less than all, of each Preferred Holder’s interest in Parsley Energy after the seventh anniversary, but before the eighth anniversary, of the date of their investment, or if Sheffield ceases to be Parsley Energy’s Chief Executive Officer.

As the investment by the Preferred Holders is redeemable at their option, Parsley Energy has reflected this investment outside of permanent equity, under the heading “ Mezzanine Equity—Redeemable LLC Units ” in Parsley Energy’s Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Parsley Energy accrued $1.7 million attributable to the Preferred Return.

Incentive Units

As part of Parsley Energy’s LLC Agreement, certain incentive units were issued to legacy investors, management and employees of Parsley Energy, consisting of Tier I, Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV incentive units, on June 11, 2013. The incentive units are intended to be compensation for services rendered to Parsley Energy. The original terms of the incentive units are as follows. Tier I incentive units vest ratably over three years, but are subject to forfeiture if payout is not achieved. In addition, all unvested Tier I incentive units vest immediately upon Tier I payout. Tier I payout is realized upon the return of the Preferred Holders’ invested capital and a specified rate of return. Tier II, III and IV incentive units vest only upon the achievement of certain payout thresholds for each such Tier and each Tier of the incentive units is subject to forfeiture if the applicable required payouts are not achieved. In addition, vested and unvested incentive units will be forfeited if an incentive unit holder’s employment is terminated for any reason or if the incentive unit holder voluntarily terminates their employment.

The incentive units are being accounted for as liability-classified awards pursuant to ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” , as achievement of the payout conditions required the settlement of such awards by transferring cash to the incentive unit holder. As such, the fair value of the incentive units is remeasured each reporting period through the date of settlement, with the percentage of such fair value recorded to compensation expense each period being equal to the percentage of the requisite explicit or implied service period that has been rendered at that date.

NOTE 10.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Well Operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, several of Parsley Energy’s directors, officers, 5% owners of Parsley Energy’s LLC interests, their immediate family, and entities affiliated or controlled by such parties (“Related Party Working Interest Owners”) owned non-operated working interests in certain of the oil and natural gas properties that Parsley Energy operates. The revenues disbursed to such Related Party Working Interest Owners for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, totaled $3.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

As a result of this ownership, from time to time, Parsley Energy will be in a net receivable or net payable position with these individuals and entities. Parsley Energy does not consider any net receivables from these parties to be uncollectible.

Tex-Isle Supply, Inc. Purchases

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Parsley Energy made purchases of equipment used in its drilling operations and capitalized as part of its oil and natural gas property totaling $7.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively, from Tex-Isle Supply, Inc. (“Tex-Isle”). Tex-Isle is controlled by a party who is also the General Partner of Diamond K Interests, LP, a member of Parsley Energy.

Spraberry Production Services LLC

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Parsley Energy incurred charges totaling $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for services from SPS in its well operation and drilling activities. Tex-Isle owns the remaining 50% interest in SPS.

NOTE 11.    DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The book value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The book value of Parsley Energy’s Revolving Credit Facility approximates its fair value as the interest rate is variable.

The estimated fair value of Parsley Energy’s $400 million of Senior Unsecured Notes at March 31, 2014, was approximately $421 million. The fair value of the Senior Unsecured Notes is classified as a level 1 measurement as it is calculated based on market quotes.

The book value of the Vehicle Term Loans and Aircraft Term Loan did not approximate its fair value at March 31, 2014, however such difference were not material.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 12.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Senior Unsecured Notes

On April 14, 2014, Parsley Energy and Parsley Finance Corp. issued an additional $150 million of 7.50% senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2022 (the “April 2014 Notes”) at 104% of par for gross proceeds of $156 million. The April 2014 Notes are being offered as additional notes pursuant to the indenture governing the Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes and the April 2014 Notes and the Senior Unsecured Notes will be treated as a single class of securities under the indenture. The issuance of the April 2014 Notes resulted in net proceeds, after offering expenses, of approximately $152.8 million, $145.0 million of the net proceeds from this offering were used to repay the majority of the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, with the remainder available for general corporate purposes, including funding the Company’s exploration and development program and acquisitions.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On April 15, 2014, in connection with the issuance of the April 2014 Notes, Parsley Energy entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement whereby the borrowing base was increased from $227.5 million to $365.0 million. Immediately following the April 2014 Note offering, the borrowing base was reduced to $327.5 million.

Acquisitions

On April 10, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which it acquired an option to purchase 5,040 gross (4,867 net) acres primarily in its Midland Basin-Core area (the “OGX Acquisition”) for total consideration of $132.8 million (net of a $1.0 million option fee). The option is exercisable at any time within the ten day period following the consummation of the Company’s current equity offering, and expires on July 31, 2014. Closing of the acquisition is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including completion of title and other diligence.

On May 1, 2014, the Company closed its acquisition of 2,240 gross acres in its Midland Basin-Core area for total consideration of $165.3 million (see Note 5—Acquisitions of Oil and Gas Properties) .

Parsley Energy has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Except as described above, Parsley Energy determined there were no additional events that required disclosure or recognition in these financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Managers

Parsley Energy, LLC:

We have audited the consolidated and combined balance sheets of Parsley Energy, LLC and subsidiaries (“Parsley Energy”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated and combined statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated and combined financial statements are the responsibility of Parsley Energy’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated and combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parsley Energy, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated and combined financial statements, the balance sheets, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows have been prepared on a consolidated and combined basis of accounting as a result of the reorganization of interests under common control.

PARSLEY ENERGY, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.     ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Parsley Energy, LLC was formed on June 11, 2013, as a Delaware limited liability company and is primarily engaged in the acquisition, development, production, exploration, and sale of crude oil and natural gas properties located primarily in the Permian Basin, which is located in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico. Concurrent with the formation of Parsley Energy, LLC, all of the interest holders of Parsley Energy, L.P. (“Parsley LP”), Parsley Energy Management, LLC (“PEM”) and Parsley Energy Operations, LLC (“PEO”) exchanged their interest in each entity in return for interest in Parsley Energy, LLC (the “Exchange”). Prior to the formation of Parsley Energy, LLC, 67.8% of Parsley LP, 100% of PEM and 100% of PEO were held by Mr. Bryan Sheffield, Parsley Energy, LLC’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“Sheffield”). Subsequent to Parsley Energy, LLC’s formation, Sheffield controlled 53.7% of Parsley Energy, LLC. As such, as all power and authority to control the core functions of Parsley LP, PEM and PEO were, and continue to be, controlled by Sheffield, the Exchange has been treated as a reorganization of entities under common control and the results of Parsley LP, PEM and PEO have been consolidated and combined for all periods. The financial statements of the legal acquirer, Parsley Energy, LLC, were not significant; therefore, no pro forma financial information is submitted.

Parsley LP was formed on February 29, 2008, as a Texas limited partnership and is primarily engaged in the acquisition, development, production, exploration, and sale of crude oil and natural gas properties located in the Permian Basin in West Texas. On September 9, 2011, Parsley LP formed, and held all of the interest in, Spraberry Energy, LLC (“Spraberry”), a Texas limited liability company. On November 20, 2012, Spraberry merged with and into Parsley LP, thereby terminating Spraberry’s corporate existence.

PEM was formed on February 19, 2008, as a Texas limited liability company and was formed to be the general partner of Parsley LP.

PEO was formed on February 19, 2008, as a Texas limited liability company and is primarily engaged in the operation of crude oil and natural gas properties located in the Permian Basin in West Texas.

Parsley LP also owns a noncontrolling 50% investment in Spraberry Production Services LLC (“SPS”). SPS was formed on August 27, 2010, as a Texas limited liability company and is primarily engaged in the oilfield services business servicing properties located in the Permian Basin in West Texas.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

These consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Preparation in accordance with GAAP requires us to (1) adopt accounting policies within accounting rules set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (2) make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and other disclosed amounts. Note 3— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies describes our significant accounting policies. Our management believes the major estimates and assumptions impacting our consolidated and combined financial statements are the following:

 

   

estimates of proved reserves of oil and natural gas, which affect the calculations of depletion, depreciation and amortization and impairment of capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties;

 

   

estimates of asset retirement obligations;

 

   

estimates of the fair value of oil and natural gas properties we own, particularly properties that we have not yet explored, or fully explored, by drilling and completing wells;

 

   

impairment of undeveloped properties and other assets;

 

   

depreciation of property and equipment; and

 

   

valuation of commodity derivative instruments.

Actual results may differ from estimates and assumptions of future events and these revisions could be material. Future production may vary materially from estimated oil and natural gas proved reserves. Actual future prices may vary significantly from price assumptions used for determining proved reserves and for financial reporting.

NOTE 3.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and funds invested in highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less and typically exceed federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of receivables from joint interest owners on properties Parsley Energy operates and crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production delivered to purchasers. The purchasers remit payment for production directly to Parsley Energy. Most payments are received within three months after the production date.

Amounts due from joint interest owners or purchasers are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts when Parsley Energy believes collection is doubtful. For receivables from joint interest owners, Parsley Energy typically has the ability to withhold future revenue disbursements to recover any non-payment of joint interest billings. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Parsley Energy determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, Parsley Energy’s previous loss history, the debtor’s current ability to pay its obligation to Parsley Energy, the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Parsley Energy writes off specific accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance was deemed necessary at December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Parsley Energy does not require collateral and does not believe the loss of any single purchaser would materially impact its operating results, as crude oil and natural gas are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous purchasers.

Material and Supplies

Materials and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market and consists of oil and gas drilling or repair items such as tubing, casing and pumping units. These items are primarily acquired for use in future drilling or repair operations and are carried at lower of cost or market. “Market”, in the context of valuation, represents net realizable value, which is the amount that Parsley Energy is allowed to bill to the joint accounts under joint operating agreements to which Parsley Energy is a party. As of December 31, 2013, Parsley Energy estimated that all of its tubular goods and equipment will be utilized within one year.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activities are accounted for in accordance with the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs of acquiring properties, costs of drilling successful exploration wells, and development costs are capitalized. The costs of exploratory wells are initially capitalized pending a determination of whether proved reserves have been found. At the completion of drilling activities, the costs of exploratory wells remain capitalized if determination is made that proved reserves have been found. If no proved reserves have been found, the costs of each of the related exploratory wells are charged to expense. In some cases, a determination of proved reserves cannot be made at the completion of drilling, requiring additional testing and evaluation of the wells. The costs of such exploratory wells are expensed if a determination of proved reserves has not been made within a twelve-month period after drilling is complete. Exploration costs such as geological, geophysical, and seismic costs are expensed as incurred.

As exploration and development work progresses and the reserves on these properties are proven, capitalized costs attributed to the properties are subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”). Depletion of capitalized costs is provided using the units-of-production method based on proved oil and gas reserves related to the associated reservoir. At December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, Parsley Energy had excluded $68.2 million, $14.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of capitalized costs from depletion. Depreciation and depletion expense on capitalized oil and gas property was $27.1 million, $6.3 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Parsley Energy had no exploratory wells in progress at December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.

Parsley Energy capitalizes interest, if debt is outstanding, during drilling operations in its exploration and development activities. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, Parsley Energy capitalized interest of $3.4 million, $1.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On the sale of a complete or partial unit of a proved property or pipeline and related facilities, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are removed from the property accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized.

For sales of entire working interests in unproved properties, gain or loss is recognized to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the net carrying value of the property. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved properties are accounted for as a recovery of costs unless the proceeds exceed the entire cost of the property.

Oil and Gas Reserves

The estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves utilized in the preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements are estimated in accordance with the rules established by the SEC and the FASB. These rules require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions using a trailing 12-month average price with no provision for price and cost escalations in future years except by contractual arrangements.

Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as more current information becomes available. Oil and gas properties are depleted by reservoir using the units-of-production method. Capitalized drilling and development costs of producing oil and natural gas properties are depleted over proved developed reserves and leasehold costs are depleted over total proved reserves. It is possible that, because of changes in market conditions or the inherent imprecision of reserve estimates, the estimates of future cash inflows, future gross revenues, the amount of oil and natural gas reserves, the remaining estimated lives of oil and natural gas properties, or any combination of the above may be increased or decreased. Increases in recoverable economic volumes generally reduce per unit depletion rates while decreases in recoverable economic volumes generally increase per unit depletion rates.

Other Property and Equipment

Other property and equipment is recorded at cost. Parsley Energy expenses maintenance and repairs in the period incurred. Upon retirements or disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated and combined balance sheet with the resulting gains or losses, if any, reflected in operations. Depreciation of other property and equipment is computed using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to fifteen years. Depreciation expense on other property and equipment was $1.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Asset retirement obligations

For Parsley Energy, asset retirement obligations represent the future abandonment costs of tangible assets, namely the plugging and abandonment of wells and land remediation. The fair value of a liability for an asset’s retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made and the corresponding cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its then present value each period. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, the difference is recorded in oil and natural gas properties.

Inherent to the present-value calculation are numerous estimates, assumptions, and judgments, including, but not limited to: the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit-adjusted risk-free rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental, and political environments. To the extent future

revisions to these assumptions affect the present value of the abandonment liability, Parsley Energy makes corresponding adjustments to both the asset retirement obligation and the related oil and natural gas property asset balance. These revisions result in prospective changes to DD&A expense and accretion of the discounted abandonment liability.

The following table summarizes the changes in Parsley Energy’s asset retirement obligation for the period indicated (in thousands):

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Parsley Energy reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties by reservoir. Whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, Parsley Energy recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Parsley Energy reviews its oil and natural gas properties by amortization base or by individual well for those wells not constituting part of an amortization base. For each property determined to be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of the properties and the estimated fair value (discounted future cash flows) of the properties would be recognized at that time. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of judgments, including estimation of the proved and unproved oil and natural gas reserve quantities, timing of development and production, expected future commodity prices, capital expenditures and production costs. Parsley Energy recognized no impairment expense during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.

Unproved oil and natural gas properties are each periodically assessed for impairment by considering future drilling plans, the results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales or expiration of all or a portion of such projects. Parsley Energy recorded no impairment charge during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.

Equity Investments

Equity investments in which Parsley Energy exercises significant influence but does not control are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, generally Parsley Energy’s share of investees’ earnings or loss, after elimination of intra-company profit or loss, is recognized in the consolidated and combined statement of operations. Parsley Energy reviews its investments to determine if a loss in value which is other than a temporary decline has occurred. If such loss has occurred, Parsley Energy would recognize an impairment provision. There was no impairment for Parsley Energy’s equity investments for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.

Derivative Instruments

Parsley Energy uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. These transactions are in the form of crude options and collars.

Parsley Energy reports the fair value of derivatives on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets in derivative instrument assets and derivative instrument liabilities as either current or noncurrent. Parsley Energy determines the current and noncurrent classification based on the timing of expected future cash flows of individual trades. Parsley Energy reports these on a gross basis by contract.

Parsley Energy’s derivative instruments were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes for any of the periods presented. Accordingly, the changes in fair value are recognized in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations in the period of change. Gains and losses from derivatives are included in cash flows from operating activities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. Parsley Energy’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at each reporting date are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs and assumptions underlying the valuation techniques. This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, and consists of three broad levels:

 

   

Level 1 measurements are obtained using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

 

   

Level 2 measurements use as inputs market prices which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date for similar commodity derivative contracts. Parsley Energy valued its level 2 assets and liabilities using industry-standard models that considered various assumptions including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, time value, volatility factors, nonperformance risk, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument and can be supported by observable data.

 

   

Level 3 measurements are based on process or valuation models that use inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little of no market activity). These inputs generally reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs are favored. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy. Reclassifications of fair value between level 1, level 2, and level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, if applicable, are made at the end of each quarter.

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs are stated at cost, net of amortization, and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are recognized when the production is sold, net of any royalty interest. Because final settlement of Parsley Energy’s hydrocarbon sales can take up to two months, the expected sales volumes and prices for those properties are estimated and accrued using information available at the time the revenue is recorded. Natural gas revenues are recorded using the entitlement method of accounting whereby revenue is recognized based on Parsley Energy’s proportionate share of natural gas production. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, Parsley Energy did not have any natural gas imbalances. Transportation expenses are included as a reduction of natural gas revenue and are not material.

Income Taxes

Parsley Energy, LLC is organized as a Delaware limited liability company and is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the net taxable income of Parsley Energy, LLC and any related tax credits are passed through to the members and are included in their tax returns even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. Accordingly, no U.S. federal tax provision has been made in the financial statements of Parsley Energy.

However, Parsley Energy’s operations located in Texas are subject to an entity-level tax, the Texas margin tax, at a statutory rate of up to 1.0% of income that is apportioned to Texas. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future Texas margin tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective Texas margin tax bases. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, Parsley Energy’s net long-term deferred tax liability related solely to carrying value differences associated with Parsley Energy’s property, plant and equipment.

These financial statements have been prepared in anticipation of a proposed initial public offering (the ‘‘Offering’’) of Parsley Energy’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Parsley Energy, Inc. In connection with the Offering, interests in Parsley Energy, LLC will be contributed to a newly formed Delaware corporation which will be treated as a taxable C corporation and thus will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, a pro forma income tax provision has been disclosed as if Parsley Energy was a taxable corporation for all periods presented. Parsley Energy has computed pro forma tax expense using a 36% blended corporate level U.S. federal and state tax rate.

Net Income Per Unit

Parsley Energy has omitted net income per unit due to the limited number of unit holders for the periods presented.

Comprehensive Income

Parsley Energy has no elements of comprehensive income other than net income.

Segment Reporting

Parsley Energy operates in only one industry segment: the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry in the United States. All revenues are derived from customers located in the United States.

NOTE 7.     EQUITY INVESTMENT

We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in SPS, with earnings or losses, after adjustment for intra-company profits and losses, reported in the income (loss) from equity investment line on the consolidated and combined statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance of Parsley Energy’s investment in SPS was $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The investment balance was increased during 2012 by $0.2 million for cash contributions and by $0.7 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for Parsley Energy’s share of SPS’ net income, before adjustment for intra-company profits and losses. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, SPS provided services to Parsley Energy in its oil and natural gas field development operations, which Parsley Energy capitalized as part of its oil and gas properties. As such, that portion of Parsley Energy’s share of SPS’ gross profit from these services totaling $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, was subsequently eliminated from its share of SPS’s net income and a corresponding reduction was made to the carrying value of its investment.

NOTE 8.     DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Commodity Derivative Instruments and Concentration of Risk

Objective and Strategy

Parsley Energy uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to cash-flow variability from commodity-price risk inherent in its crude oil exploration and production activities. These include exchange traded and over-the-counter (OTC) crude options and collars with the underlying contract and settlement pricings based on NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (WTI). Options and collars are used to establish a floor price, or floor and ceiling prices, for expected future oil sales. Three way collars are also used to manage commodity price risk. A three way collar is a combination of three options: a sold call, a purchased put, and a sold put. The sold call establishes the maximum price that Parsley Energy will receive for the contracted commodity volumes. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that Parsley Energy will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the minimum price equals the reference price plus the excess of the purchased put strike price over the sold put strike price. As of December 31, 2013, we had entered into hedging contracts through February 2016 covering a total of approximately 2,779 MBoe of our projected oil production primarily through the purchases of put spreads and three-way collars.

Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operation

Losses related to Parsley Energy’s derivative activities were $9.8 million, $2.2 million, and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. These losses are included in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations line item, Derivative loss .

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Parsley Energy has agreements in place with all its counterparties that allow for the financial right of offset for derivative assets and liabilities at settlement or in the event of default under the agreements. Additionally, Parsley Energy maintains accounts with its brokers to facilitate financial derivative transactions in support of its risk management activities. Based on the value of Parsley Energy’s positions in these accounts and the associated margin requirements, Parsley Energy may be required to deposit cash into these broker accounts. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Parsley Energy had posted margins with some of its counterparties to collateralize certain derivative positions. The following table presents Parsley Energy’s net exposure from its offsetting derivative asset and liability positions, as well as cash collateral on deposit with the brokers as of the reporting dates indicated (in thousands):

Concentration of Credit Risk

The financial integrity of Parsley Energy’s exchange traded contracts is assured by NYMEX through systems of financial safeguards and transaction guarantees, and is therefore subject to nominal credit risk. Over-the-counter traded options expose Parsley Energy to counterparty credit risk. These OTC options are entered into with a large multinational financial institution with investment grade credit rating or through brokers that require all the transaction parties to collateralize their open option positions. The gross and net credit exposure from our commodity derivative contracts as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 is summarized in the table above.

Parsley Energy monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties, established credit limits according to Parsley Energy’s credit policies and guidelines, and assesses the impact on fair values of its counterparties’ creditworthiness. Parsley Energy has netting agreements with its counterparties and brokers that permit net settlement of gross commodity derivative assets against gross commodity derivative liabilities, and routinely exercises its contractual right to offset realized gains against realized losses when settling with derivative counterparties. Parsley Energy did not incur any losses due to counterparty bankruptcy filings during any of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features in Derivatives

Certain commodity derivative instruments contain provisions that require Parsley Energy to either post additional collateral or immediately settle any outstanding liability balances upon the occurrence of a specified credit risk related event. These events, which are defined by the existing commodity derivative contracts, are primarily downgrades in the credit ratings of Parsley Energy and its affiliates. None of Parsley Energy’s commodity derivative instruments were in a net liability position with respect to any individual counterparty at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

The Revolving Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity up to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and (ii) $750.0 million. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on the earlier of (i) September 10, 2018 and (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity of the Second Lien Agreement, discussed below, being currently December 31, 2016. The Revolving Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of Parsley Energy’s assets.

The Revolving Credit Agreement provided for an initial borrowing base of $175.0 million based on Parsley Energy’s proved producing reserves and a portion of its proved undeveloped reserves. The borrowing base will be redetermined by the lenders at least semi-annually on each April 1 and October 1, with the first redetermination on October 1, 2013. The amount Parsley Energy is able to borrow with respect to the borrowing base is subject to compliance with the financial covenants and other provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement can be made in Eurodollars or at the alternate base rate. Eurodollar loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an adjusted LIBO rate (equal to the product of: (a) the LIBO rate, multiplied by (b) a fraction (expressed as a decimal), the numerator of which is the number one and the denominator of which is the number one minus the aggregate of the maximum reserve percentages (expressed as a decimal) on such date at which the Administrative Agent is required to maintain reserves on ‘Eurocurrency Liabilities’ as defined in and pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) plus an applicable margin ranging from 150 to 250 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing base utilized. Alternate base rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the agent bank’s reference rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points and (iii) the adjusted LIBO rate (as calculated above) plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin ranging from 50 to 150 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing base utilized. The Revolving Credit Agreement also provides for a commitment fee ranging from 375 basis points to 500 basis points, depending on the percentage of our borrowing

base utilized. As of December 31, 2013, borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement had a weighted average interest rate of 3.31%. We may repay any amounts borrowed prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty other than customary LIBOR breakage costs.

The Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to certain covenants, which includes the maintenance of the following financial covenants: (1) a Current Ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; (2) a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters ending on such date; provided that for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the relevant period shall be deemed to equal, as applicable, for the three, six or nine-month period then ending, as applicable, multiplied by 4, 2 and 4/3, respectively; and (3) the financial ratios required to be maintained under the Second Lien Agreement discussed below (each of the capitalized terms used in the foregoing clauses (1) through (3) being as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires the timely submission of annual and quarterly financial statements, reserve reports, budgets, and other notices, along with meeting other recurring obligations. At December 31, 2013, Parsley Energy was not in compliance with the quarterly Current Ratio covenant under Parsley Energy’s credit facility and that as a result an event of default had occurred under this facility. On April 11, 2014 Parsley Energy received a waiver for this event of default from the required lenders and is currently in compliance with the Current Ratio covenant.

The Revolving Credit Agreement also places restrictions on Parsley Energy and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to additional indebtedness, liens, dividends and other payments, investments, acquisitions, mergers, asset dispositions, transactions with affiliates, hedging transactions and other matters.

The Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to customary events of default, including a change in control (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Majority Lenders (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) may accelerate any amounts outstanding.

On October 21, 2013, Parsley Energy amended and restated its Revolving Credit Agreement, whereby the borrowing base was reduced from $175.0 million to $143.8 million. On December 20, 2013, Parsley Energy entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which increased the borrowing base from $143.8 million to $240 million. In addition, the amendment provided that the borrowing base would automatically increase from $240 million to $280 million upon the closing of the Merit Acquisition, which closed on December 30, 2013.

Second Lien Agreement

On November 20, 2012, Parsley Energy entered into a second lien credit agreement (the “Second Lien Agreement”) providing for term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million and an original maturity date of December 31, 2016. The Second Lien Agreement bears interest at the combined rate equal to (i) the greater of 1.0% and the three-month LIBO rate, plus 10.0%, paid in cash, plus (2) 4.0% paid-in-kind by adding to the principal balance outstanding. Obligations under the Second Lien Agreement are secured by a second lien on substantially all of Parsley Energy’s oil and natural gas properties.

The Second Lien Agreement may be prepaid at any time. If prepaid prior to November 20, 2014, Parsley Energy will be obligated to pay a prepayment premium equal to 7.5% of the principal amount being prepaid. As a condition to entering into the Second Lien Agreement, Parsley Energy was required to enter into certain derivative instruments to hedge not less than 80% of the anticipated projected production from proved, developed, producing oil and natural gas properties.

The Second Lien Agreement also requires the timely submission of annual and quarterly financial statements, reserve reports, budgets, and other notices, along with meeting other recurring obligations.

The Second Lien Agreement also places restrictions on Parsley Energy and its subsidiaries with respect to the incurrence of additional indebtedness, granting liens, making dividends and other payments, investments, acquisitions, mergers, asset dispositions, transactions with affiliates, hedging transactions and other matters.

On June 10, 2013, Parsley Energy entered into a First Amendment and Waiver to the Second Lien Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment: (1) reduced the Consolidated Current Ratio, as at June 30, 2013, to be not less than 0.75:1.00, and as at the last day of any quarter thereafter, to be not less than 1.00:1.00; (2) provided a waiver of the Lenders’ right to assert an Event of Default with respect to the Consolidated Current Ratio covenant as of March 31, 2013; and (3) extended the deadline of delivery of required financial statements from 120 days to 180 days after Parsley Energy’s year-end (each of the capitalized terms used in the foregoing clauses (1) through (4) being as defined in the Second Lien Term Agreement).

On September 10, 2013, Parsley Energy entered into a Second Amendment and Waiver to the Second Lien Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment: (1) amended the definition of the Consolidated Current Ratio to allow for the inclusion, in the numerator, of unused borrowing capacity under the Syndicated Credit Agreement; and (2) waived the Lenders’ right to assert an Event of Default with respect to the Consolidated Current Ratio covenant as of June 30, 2013 (each of the capitalized terms used in the foregoing clauses (1) through (4) being as defined in the Second Lien Agreement agreement).

On October 21, 2013, Parsley Energy entered into an amended and restated second lien credit agreement (the “Amended Second Lien Agreement”). The Amended Second Lien Agreement created two tranches of loan commitments, the Tranche A Commitment totaling $75.0 million and the Tranche B Commitment, totaling $125.0 million. The maturity date remains December 31, 2016.

Tranche A borrowings bear interest at the combined rate equal to (i) the greater of 1.0%, and the three- month LIBO rate, plus 10.0%, paid in cash, plus (ii) 4.0% paid-in-kind by adding to the principal balance outstanding. Tranche B borrowings bear interest at the greater of 1.0%, and the three-month LIBO rate, plus 11.0%, paid in cash.

The Amended Second Lien Agreement may still be prepaid at any time. If prepaid after November 20, 2013, but before November 20, 2014, Parsley Energy will be obligated to pay a prepayment premium equal to 7.5% of the principal amount being repaid, with respect to the pro rata portion of the prepayment attributable to Tranche A borrowings.

The Amended Second Lien Agreement also modified the required financial covenants under the Second Lien Agreement to consist of: (1) a Consolidated Current Ratio of not less than 1.00:1.00; (2) beginning with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013, a Consolidated Leverage Ratio not to exceed (a) 4.50:1.00 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, (b) 4.00:1.00 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, and (c) 3.50:1.00 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and all subsequent quarterly periods; and (3) a Consolidated Cash Interest Coverage Ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 (each of the capitalized terms used in the

foregoing clauses (1) through (3) being as defined in the Second Lien Agreement agreement). The Second Lien Agreement also requires the timely submission of annual and quarterly financial statements, reserve reports, budgets, and other notices, along with meeting other recurring obligations. At December 31, 2013 Parsley Energy was not in compliance with the quarterly Current Ratio covenant. However, as all amounts outstanding under the Second Lien Agreement were repaid in February 2014, no waiver of this noncompliance was required or sought (see Note 14— Subsequent Event ).

The Amended Second Lien Agreement eliminated the requirement for Parsley Energy to enter into certain derivative instruments to hedge not less than 80% of the anticipated production from proved, developed, producing oil and natural gas properties.

Aircraft Term Loan

On April 2, 2013, Parsley Energy, entered into a $2.8 million term loan (“Aviation Note”) in connection with the purchase of a corporate aircraft. The Aviation Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.875%, matures on April 2, 2018 and requires monthly payments of $29,160 of principal and interest beginning in May 2013, with a balloon payment of $1.6 million at maturity.

Diamond K Interests, LP Notes Payable

On May 21, 2009, Parsley Energy entered into a $250,000 revolving non-recourse note and a $250,000 term loan with Diamond K Interests, LP, (“Diamond K”) a member of Parsley Energy, LLC (the “Diamond K Notes Payable”). The Diamond K Notes Payable bore interest at 10.0% per annum and had an original maturity of May 21, 2014. Parsley Energy repaid the Diamond K Notes Payable in November 2012.

NOTE 10.     MEMBERS’ EQUITY

Parsley Energy’s operations are governed by the provisions of a limited liability company agreement (the “Parsley LLC Agreement”). There are no current outstanding equity commitments of the members. Allocations of net income and loss are allocated to the members based on a hypothetical liquidation.

As discussed in Note 1, effective June 11, 2013, Parsley Energy acquired all of the limited and general partnership interests of Parsley LP, PEM and PEO (the “Partnerships”), all of which were under common control, in exchange for the issuance of interests in Parsley Energy. The exchange of shares between Parsley Energy and the Partnerships was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the merger was recorded as a recapitalization of Parsley Energy, with the consolidated and combined financials of the Partnerships being treated as the continuing entity.

Limitations of Members’ liabilities

Pursuant to the Parsley LLC Agreement (and as is customary for limited liability companies), the liability of the Members is limited to their contributed capital.

LLC Interest Issuance

On June 11, 2013, Parsley Energy issued membership interests to NGP X US Holdings, L.P. and other investors for total consideration of $73.5 million. These interest holders were designated as “Preferred Holders” and granted certain rights in Parsley Energy’s limited liability company agreement. Included with these rights were (1) the right to receive a 9.5% return on their invested capital prior to any distribution to any other unit holders (the “Preferred Return”) and (2) the right to require Parsley Energy to redeem all, but not less than all, of each Preferred Holder’s interest in Parsley Energy after the seventh anniversary, but before the eighth anniversary, of the date of their investment, or if Sheffield ceases to be Parsley Energy’s Chief Executive Officer.

As the investment by the Preferred Holders is redeemable at their option, Parsley Energy has reflected this investment outside of permanent equity, under the heading “ Mezzanine Equity—Redeemable LLC Unit s ” in Parsley Energy’s Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, Parsley Energy accrued $3.9 million attributable to the Preferred Return.

Incentive Units

As part of Parsley Energy’s LLC Agreement, certain incentive units were issued to legacy investors, management and employees of Parsley Energy, consisting of Tier I, Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV incentive units, on June 11, 2013. The incentive units are intended to be compensation for services rendered to Parsley Energy. The original terms of the incentive units are as follows. Tier I incentive units vest ratably over three years, but are subject to forfeiture if payout is not achieved. In addition, all unvested Tier I incentive units vest immediately upon Tier I payout. Tier I payout is realized upon the return of the Preferred Holders’ invested capital and a specified rate of return. Tier II, III and IV incentive units vest only upon the achievement of certain payout thresholds for each such Tier and each Tier of the incentive units is subject to forfeiture if the applicable required payouts are not achieved. In addition, vested and unvested incentive units will be forfeited if an incentive unit holder’s employment is terminated for any reason or if the incentive unit holder voluntarily terminates their employment.

 

F-61


Table of Contents

PARSLEY ENERGY, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The incentive units are being accounted for as liability-classified awards pursuant to ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” , as achievement of the payout conditions required the settlement of such awards by transferring cash to the incentive unit holder. As such, the fair value of the incentive units is remeasured each reporting period through the date of settlement, with the percentage of such fair value recorded to compensation expense each period being equal to the percentage of the requisite explicit or implied service period that has been rendered at that date.

NOTE 11.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Well Operations

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, several of Parsley Energy’s directors, officers, 5% owners of Parsley Energy’s LLC interests, their immediate family, and entities affiliated or controlled by such parties (“Related Party Working Interest Owners”) owned non-operated working interests in certain of the oil and natural gas properties that Parsley Energy operates. The revenues disbursed to such Related Party Working Interest Owners for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, totaled $14.4 million, $10.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

As a result of this ownership, from time to time, Parsley Energy will be in a net receivable or net payable position with these individuals and entities. Parsley Energy does not consider any net receivables from these parties to be uncollectible.

Diamond K Interest, LP Notes Payable

On May 21, 2009, Parsley Energy entered the Diamond K Notes Payable. Parsley Energy repaid the Diamond K Notes Payable in November 2012.

Acquisitions

On October 29, 2012, Parsley Energy acquired, from Diamond K Production, LLC, an entity owned by Diamond K, additional working interests in wells it operates for an aggregate cash consideration of $8.2 million. Parsley Energy reflected the total consideration paid as part of its cost subject to depletion within its oil and gas properties.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, Parsley Energy acquired, from certain of its directors and officers, additional working interests in wells it operates through a number of separate, individually negotiated transactions for an aggregate total of $19.4 million.

Tex-Isle Supply, Inc. Purchases

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, Parsley Energy made purchases of equipment used in its drilling operations and capitalized as part of its oil and natural gas property totaling $68.1 million, $31.1 million and $11.6 million, respectively, from Tex-Isle Supply, Inc. (“Tex-Isle”). Tex-Isle is controlled by a party who is also the General Partner of Diamond K.

Spraberry Production Services LLC

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, Parsley Energy incurred charges totaling $3.3 million, $2.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for services from SPS in its well operation and drilling activities. Tex-Isle owns the remaining 50% interest in SPS.

NOTE 12.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, Parsley Energy may at times be subject to claims and legal actions. Management believes it is remote that the impact of such matters will have a material adverse effect on Parsley Energy’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

Parsley Energy is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These laws, which are often changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require Parsley Energy to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Parsley Energy has established procedures for the ongoing evaluation of its operations, to identify potential environmental exposures and to comply with regulatory policies and procedures.

Parsley Energy accounts for environmental contingencies in accordance with the accounting guidance related to accounting for contingencies. Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or clean-ups are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the timing of cash payments is fixed or readily determinable. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, Parsley Energy had no environmental matters requiring specific disclosure or requiring the recognition of a liability.

Leases

NOTE 13.    DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The book value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The book value of Parsley Energy’s Revolving Credit Facility approximates its fair value as the interest rate is variable.

We believe the book value of Parsley Energy’s Second Lien Term Loan approximated its fair value at December 31, 2012, due to the lack of alternatives available to us at that time. However, as a result of the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes on February 5, 2014, we determined that the book value of the Second Lien Term Loan at December 31,2013, did not approximate its fair value. In addition, the book value of the Aircraft Term Loan did not approximate its fair value at December 31, 2013.

The fair value of the Second Lien Term Loan and the Aircraft Term Loan are classified as level 2 measurements as they are calculated using industry standard models using assumptions and inputs which are substantially observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instruments. These include contract terms, the risk free rate, credit spreads, historical volatility of interest rates and discount factors. The following table provides the fair value of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Balance Sheets (in thousands).

commencing August 15, 2014. These notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parsley Energy. The issuance of these notes resulted in net proceeds, after discounts and offering expenses, of approximately $391.0 million, $198.5 million of which was used to repay all outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and a prepayment penalty under the Second Lien Agreement and $175.1 million of which was used to partially repay amounts outstanding, plus accrued interest, under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On February 5, 2014, in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, Parsley Energy entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement whereby the maturity date was extended to September 10, 2018 and the borrowing base was reduced from $280.0 million to $227.5 million.

Parsley Energy has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Except as described above, Parsley Energy determined there were no additional events that required disclosure or recognition in these financial statements.

Reserve Quantity Information

The following information represents estimates of Parsley Energy’s proved reserves as of December 31, 2013, which have been prepared and presented under SEC rules. These rules require SEC reporting companies to prepare their reserve estimates using specified reserve definitions and pricing based on a 12-month unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month pricing. The pricing that was used for estimates of Parsley Energy’s reserves as of December 31, 2013 was based on an unweighted average 12-month average West Texas Intermediate posted price per Bbl for oil and a Henry Hub spot natural gas price per Mcf for natural gas, as set forth in the following table:

 

         2013              2012              2011      

Oil (per Bbl)

   $ 92.53       $ 89.71       $ 91.21   

Natural gas (per Mcf)

   $ 3.46       $ 2.48       $ 3.93   

Natural gas liquids (per Bbl)

   $ 36.20       $ 35.02       $ 35.60   

Subject to limited exceptions, proved undeveloped reserves may only be booked if they relate to wells scheduled to be drilled within five years of the date of booking. This requirement has limited, and may continue to limit, Parsley Energy’s potential to record additional proved undeveloped reserves as it pursues its drilling program, particularly as it develops its significant acreage in the Permian Basin of West Texas. Moreover, Parsley Energy may be required to write down its proved undeveloped reserves if it does not drill on those reserves with the required five-year timeframe. Parsley Energy does not have any proved undeveloped reserves which have remained undeveloped for five years or more.

Parsley Energy’s proved oil and natural gas reserves are all located in the United States, primarily in the Permian Basin of West Texas. All of the estimates of the proved reserves at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, were estimated by Parsley Energy’s in-house petroleum engineers, taking into consideration the information and assumptions contained in the December 31, 2013 report prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (“NSAI”), independent petroleum engineers. Proved reserves were estimated in accordance with the guidelines established by the SEC and the FASB.

Oil and natural gas reserve quantity estimates are subject to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. The accuracy of such estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of subsequent drilling, testing and production may cause either upward or downward revision of previous estimates.

Further, the volumes considered to be commercially recoverable fluctuate with changes in prices and operating costs. Parsley Energy emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of currently producing oil and natural gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as additional information becomes available in the future.

Extensions and discoveries of 20,132 MBoe and 6,899 MBoe during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, result primarily from the drilling of new wells during each year and from new proved undeveloped locations added during each year.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows does not purport to be, nor should it be interpreted to present, the fair value of the oil and natural gas reserves of the property. An estimate of fair value would take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, the value of unproved properties, and consideration of expected future economic and operating conditions.

The estimates of future cash flows and future production and development costs as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are based on the unweighted arithmetic average first-day-of-the-month price for the preceding 12-month period. Estimated future production of proved reserves and estimated future production and development costs of proved reserves are based on current costs and economic conditions. All wellhead prices are held flat over the forecast period for all reserve categories. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted at a rate of 10%.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves is as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

(1) Future net cash flows do not include the effects of U.S. federal income taxes on future results because Parsley Energy was a limited liability company not subject to entity-level federal income taxation as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Accordingly, no provision for federal corporate income taxes has been provided because taxable income was passed through to Parsley Energy’s equity holders. However, Parsley Energy’s operations located in Texas are subject to an entity-level tax, the Texas Margin Tax, at a statutory rate of up to 1.0% of income that is apportioned to Texas. Following the Corporate Reorganization, Parsley Energy will be a subchapter C corporation subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. If Parsley Energy had been subject to entity-level income taxation, the unaudited pro forma future income tax expense at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, would have been $562.5 million, $289.5 million and $202.2 million, respectively. The unaudited standardized measure at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 would have been $497.7 million, $193.6 million and $115.6 million, respectively.

In the foregoing determination of future cash inflows, sales prices used for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids for December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, were estimated using the average price during the 12-month period, determined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month. Prices were adjusted by lease for quality, transportation fees and regional price differentials. Future costs of developing and producing the proved gas and oil reserves reported at the end of each year shown were based on costs determined at each such year-end, assuming the continuation of existing economic conditions.

It is not intended that the FASB’s standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows represent the fair market value of the Predecessor’s proved reserves. Parsley Energy cautions that the disclosures shown are based on estimates of proved reserve quantities and future production schedules which are inherently imprecise and subject to revision, and the 10% discount rate is arbitrary. In addition, costs and prices as of the measurement date are used in the determinations, and no value may be assigned to probable or possible reserves.

(the Properties) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our Responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting polices used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

The financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the operations of the Properties.

Opinion

In our opinion, the statements of revenues and direct operating expenses referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the properties acquired by Parsley Energy, L.P. from Merit Management Partners I, L.P., Merit Management Partners II, L.P., Merit Management Partners III, L.P., Merit Management Partners IV, L.P., Merit Energy Partners III, L.P., Merit Energy Partners III-C, L.P., Merit Energy Partners D-III, L.P., Merit Energy Partners E-III, L.P., and Merit Energy Partners F-III, L.P. for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES OF PROPERTIES ACQUIRED BY PARSLEY ENERGY, L.P.

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On December 30, 2013, Parsley Energy, L.P., a Texas Limited Partnership, (referred to herein as “Parsley LP,”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parsley Energy, LLC, (the “Parsley Energy”) acquired (the “Acquisition”) certain oil and gas leaseholds located in the State of Texas and various other related rights, permits, contracts, equipment and other assets (the “Acquired Properties”) from Merit Management Partners I, L.P., Merit Management Partners II, L.P., Merit Management Partners III, L.P., Merit Management Partners IV, L.P., Merit Energy Partners III, L.P., Merit Energy Partners III-C, L.P. Merit Energy Partners D-III, L.P., Merit Energy Partners E-III, L.P. and Merit Energy Partners F-III, L.P., each a Delaware limited partnership (collectively “Seller”). The effective date for the Acquisition was October 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition was $80.0 million, including customary post-effective date adjustments, all of which was paid in cash.

The accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the Properties Acquired by Parsley Energy, L.P. (the “Statements”) were prepared by Parsley Energy based on carved-out financial information and data from the Seller’s historical accounting records. Because the Acquired Properties are not separate legal entities, the accompanying Statements vary from a complete income statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in that they do not reflect certain expenses that were incurred in connection with the ownership and operation of the Acquired Properties including, but not limited to, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and other indirect expenses. These costs were not separately allocated to the Acquired Properties in the accounting records of the Seller. In addition, these allocations, if made using historical general and administrative structures, would not produce allocations that would be indicative of the historical performance of the Acquired Properties had they been owned by Parsley Energy due to the differing size, structure, operations and accounting policies of the Seller and Parsley Energy. The accompanying Statements also do not include provisions for depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, as such amounts would not be indicative of the costs which Parsley Energy will incur upon the allocation of the purchase price paid for the Acquired Properties. For these reasons, the Statements are not indicative of the results of operations of the Acquired Properties on a going forward basis due to changes in the business and the omission of various operating expenses. Furthermore, no balance sheet has been presented for the Acquired Properties because not all of the historical cost and related working capital balances are segregated or easily obtainable, nor has information about the Acquired Properties’ operating, investing and financing cash flows been provided for similar reasons. Accordingly, the accompanying Statements are presented in lieu of the financial statements required under Rule 3-05 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X.

 

2. USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of these Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and direct operating expenses during the respective reporting periods. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Statements.

 

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As represented by the Seller in the Acquisition Agreement, there are no known claims, litigation or disputes pending as of the effective date of the Acquisition Agreement, or any matters arising in connection with indemnification, and neither Parsley Energy nor the Seller are aware of any legal, environmental or other commitments or contingencies that would have a material adverse effect on the Statements.

NOTES TO THE STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES OF PROPERTIES ACQUIRED BY PARSLEY ENERGY, L.P.

 

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Seller records revenues from the sales of crude oil and natural gas when they are produced and sold. There were no gas imbalances at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

 

5. DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

Direct operating expenses are recorded when the related liability is incurred. Direct operating expenses include lease and gathering operating expenses, ad valorem taxes and production taxes. Certain costs such as depletion, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, general and administrative expenses and interest expense were not allocated to the Acquired Properties.

 

6. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS OPERATIONS (unaudited):

Estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves of the Acquired Properties were derived from reserve estimates prepared by Parsley Energy’s in-house petroleum engineers. Proved reserves were estimated in accordance with the guidelines established by the SEC and the FASB. Estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise and are continually subject to revision based on production history, results of additional exploration and development, price changes and other factors. All of the Acquired Properties’ proved reserves are located in the continental United States.

Guidelines prescribed in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 932, Extractive Industries—Oil and Gas , have been followed for computing a standardized measure of future net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved reserves. Future cash inflows and future production and development costs are determined by applying prices and costs, including transportation, quality, and basis differentials, to the year-end estimated quantities of oil and gas to be produced in the future. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a ten percent annual discount factor. Future operating costs are determined based on estimates of expenditures to be incurred in producing the proved oil and gas reserves in place at the end of the period using year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, plus overhead incurred. Future development costs are determined based on estimates of capital expenditures to be incurred in developing proved oil and gas reserves.

The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the FASB and the SEC. These assumptions do not necessarily reflect Parsley Energy’s expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves, nor their fair value. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously, are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process. Parsley Energy emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than estimates of established proved producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available. The standardized measure excludes federal income taxes as the tax basis for the Acquired Properties could not be determined or reasonably estimated for the periods presented. In addition, the tax basis of the Acquired Properties will differ from that of the Seller so any tax provision is not relevant. The Acquired Properties’ operations are located in Texas and are subject to an entity-level tax, the Texas margin tax, at a statutory rate of up to 1.0% of income that is apportioned to Texas.

Independent Auditor’s Report

The Board of Managers

Parsley Energy, LLC:

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and direct operating expenses of properties acquired by Parsley Energy, L.P. from Pacer Energy, Ltd. (the “Properties”) for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statement

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues and direct operating expenses in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues and direct operating expenses based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and direct operating expenses is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making these risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

The accompanying statement of revenues and direct operating expenses referred to above was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The statement of revenues and direct operating expenses is not intended to be a complete presentation of the operations of the Properties.

Opinion

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and direct operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses of the Properties for the year ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES OF PROPERTIES ACQUIRED BY PARSLEY ENERGY, L.P., FROM PACER ENERGY, LTD.

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On May 1, 2014, Parsley Energy, L.P., a Texas Limited Partnership, (referred to herein as “Parsley LP,”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parsley Energy, LLC, (“Parsley Energy”) acquired (the “Acquisition”) certain oil and gas leaseholds located in the State of Texas and various other related rights, permits, contracts, equipment and other assets (the “Acquired Properties”) from Pacer Energy, Ltd., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Seller). The effective date for the Acquisition was May 1, 2014 (the “Effective Date”). The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition was $165.3 million, including customary post-effective date adjustments, all of which was paid in cash.

The accompanying Statement of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the Properties Acquired by Parsley Energy, LP (the “Statement”) was prepared by Parsley Energy based on carved-out financial information and data from the Seller’s historical accounting records. Because the Acquired Properties are not separate legal entities, the accompanying Statement varies from a complete income statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in that they do not reflect certain expenses that were incurred in connection with the ownership and operation of the Acquired Properties including, but not limited to, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and other indirect expenses. These costs were not separately allocated to the Acquired Properties in the accounting records of the Seller. In addition, these allocations, if made using historical general and administrative structures, would not produce allocations that would be indicative of the historical performance of the Acquired Properties had they been owned by Parsley Energy due to the differing size, structure, operations and accounting policies of the Seller and Parsley Energy. The accompanying Statements also do not include provisions for depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, as such amounts would not be indicative of the costs which Parsley Energy will incur upon the allocation of the purchase price paid for the Acquired Properties. For these reasons, the Statement is not indicative of the results of operations of the Acquired Properties on a going forward basis due to changes in the business and the omission of various operating expenses. Furthermore, no balance sheet has been presented for the Acquired Properties because not all of the historical cost and related working capital balances are segregated or easily obtainable, nor has information about the Acquired Properties’ operating, investing and financing cash flows been provided for similar reasons. Accordingly, the accompanying Statement is presented in lieu of the financial statements required under Rule 3-05 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X.

The Seller commenced exploratory operations on the Acquired Properties during the year ended December 31, 2013. Accordingly, there is no historical financial or other information available with respect to any period prior to January 1, 2013.

 

2. COMMITMENT USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of this Statement in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of operating revenues and direct operating expenses during the respective reporting periods. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Statement.

 

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As represented by the Seller in the Acquisition Agreement, there are no known claims, litigation or disputes pending as of the effective date of the Acquisition Agreement, or any matters arising in connection with indemnification, and neither Parsley Energy nor the Seller are aware of any legal, environmental or other commitments or contingencies that would have a material adverse effect on the Statement.

4. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are recorded from the sales of crude oil and natural gas when they are produced and sold. There were no gas imbalances at December 31, 2013 or March 31, 2014.

 

5. DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

Direct operating expenses are recorded when the related liability is incurred. Direct operating expenses include lease and gathering operating expenses, ad valorem taxes and production taxes. Certain costs such as depletion, depreciation and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, general and administrative expenses and interest expense were not allocated to the Acquired Properties.

 

6. SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION (unaudited):

Estimated quantities of proved oil and gas reserves of the Acquired Properties were derived from reserve estimates prepared by Parsley Energy’s in-house petroleum engineers. Proved reserves were estimated in accordance with the guidelines established by the SEC and the FASB. Estimates of proved reserves are inherently imprecise and are continually subject to revision based on production history, results of additional exploration and development, price changes and other factors. All of the Acquired Properties’ proved reserves are located in the continental United States.

Guidelines prescribed in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 932, Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas , have been followed for computing a standardized measure of future net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved reserves. Future cash inflows and future production and development costs are determined by applying prices and costs, including transportation, quality, and basis differentials, to the year-end estimated quantities of oil and gas to be produced in the future. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a ten percent annual discount factor. Future operating costs are determined based on estimates of expenditures to be incurred in producing the proved oil and gas reserves in place at the end of the period using year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, plus overhead incurred. Future development costs are determined based on estimates of capital expenditures to be incurred in developing proved oil and gas reserves.

The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the FASB and the SEC. These assumptions do not necessarily reflect Parsley Energy’s expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves, nor their fair value. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously, are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process. Parsley Energy emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than estimates of established proved producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available. The standardized measure excludes federal income taxes as the tax basis for the Acquired Properties could not be determined or reasonably estimated for the periods presented. In addition, the tax basis of the Acquired Properties will differ from that of the Seller so any tax provision is not relevant. The Acquired Properties’ operations are located in Texas and are subject to an entity-level tax, the Texas margin tax, at a statutory rate of up to 1.0% of income that is apportioned to Texas.

downspacing .” Additional wells drilled between known producing wells to better exploit the reservoir.

dry hole .” A well found to be incapable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of such production exceed production expenses and taxes.

economically producible .” A resource that generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation. For a complete definition of economically producible, refer to the SEC’s Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a)(10).

exploitation .” A development or other project which may target proven or unproven reserves (such as probable or possible reserves), but which generally has a lower risk than that associated with exploration projects.

exploratory well .” A well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or natural gas in another reservoir.

 

G-1


Table of Contents

field .” An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition. The field name refers to the surface area, although it may refer to both the surface and the underground productive formations. For a complete definition of field, refer to the SEC’s Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a)(15).

formation .” A layer of rock which has distinct characteristics that differ from nearby rock.

GAAP .” Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

gross acres ” or “ gross wells .” The total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which an entity owns a working interest.

held by production .” Acreage covered by a mineral lease that perpetuates a company’s right to operate a property as long as the property produces a minimum paying quantity of oil or gas.

horizontal drilling .” A drilling technique used in certain formations where a well is drilled vertically to a certain depth and then drilled at a right angle within a specified interval.

IRS. ” Internal Revenue Service.

lease operating expense .” All direct and allocated indirect costs of lifting hydrocarbons from a producing formation to the surface constituting part of the current operating expenses of a working interest. Such costs include labor, superintendence, supplies, repairs, maintenance, allocated overhead charges, workover, insurance and other expenses incidental to production, but exclude lease acquisition or drilling or completion expenses.

Table of Contents

present value of future net revenues ” or “ PV-10 .” The estimated future gross revenue to be generated from the production of proved reserves, net of estimated production and future development and abandonment costs, using prices and costs in effect at the determination date, before income taxes, and without giving effect to non-property-related expenses, discounted to a present value using an annual discount rate of 10% in accordance with the guidelines of the SEC.

productive well .” A well that is found to be capable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of the production exceed production expenses and taxes.

proved developed reserves .” Proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered:

i. Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared with the cost of a new well; or

ii. Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

proved reserves .” Those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced, or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence, the project within a reasonable time. For a complete definition of proved oil and natural gas reserves, refer to the SEC’s Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a)(22).

proved undeveloped reserves ” or “ PUDs .” Proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time.

Under no circumstances shall estimates for proved undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

reasonable certainty .” A high degree of confidence. For a complete definition of reasonable certainty, refer to the SEC’s Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a)(24).

recompletion .” The process of re-entering an existing wellbore that is either producing or not producing and completing new reservoirs in an attempt to establish or increase existing production.

reliable technology .” A grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that have been field tested and have been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

 

G-3


Table of Contents

reserves. ” Estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development prospects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and natural gas or related substances to market and all permits and financing required to implement the project.

reservoir. ” A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible hydrocarbons that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is separate from other reservoirs.

royalty. ” An interest in an oil and natural gas lease that gives the owner the right to receive a portion of the production from the leased acreage (or of the proceeds from the sale thereof), but does not require the owner to pay any portion of the production or development costs on the leased acreage. Royalties may be either landowner’s royalties, which are reserved by the owner of the leased acreage at the time the lease is granted, or overriding royalties, which are usually reserved by an owner of the leasehold in connection with a transfer to a subsequent owner.

SEC. ” The United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

spacing. ” The distance between wells producing from the same reservoir. Spacing is often expressed in terms of acres, e.g., 40-acre spacing, and is often established by regulatory agencies.

spud .” Commenced drilling operations on an identified location.

undeveloped acreage. ” Lease acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of economic quantities of oil or natural gas regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.

wellbore. ” The hole drilled by the bit that is equipped for oil or gas production on a completed well. Also called well or borehole.

working interest. ” The right granted to the lessee of a property to explore for and to produce and own oil, natural gas or other minerals. The working interest owners bear the exploration, development and operating costs on either a cash, penalty or carried basis.

workover. ” Operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.

WTI. ” West Texas Intermediate crude oil, which is a light, sweet crude oil, characterized by an American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, between 39 and 41 and a sulfur content of approximately 0.4 weight percent that is used as a benchmark for other crude oils.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions (i.e., actions by or in the right of the corporation), except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will contain provisions that limit the liability of our directors and officers for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except liability:

 

   

for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to our company or our shareholders;

 

   

for any act or omission not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law;

 

   

under Section 174 of the DGCL regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases; or

 

   

for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

II-1


Table of Contents

Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the DGCL is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors or officers of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors and officers will be further limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our current directors and officers containing provisions that are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. The indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our future directors and officers.

We intend to maintain liability insurance policies that indemnify our directors and officers against various liabilities, including certain liabilities under arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, which may be incurred by them in their capacity as such.

The proposed form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement provides for indemnification of our directors and officers by the underwriters against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with this offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In connection with our incorporation on December 11, 2013 under the laws of the State of Delaware, we issued 1,000 shares of our common stock to Parsley Energy, LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $10.00. These securities were offered and sold by us in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Securities . On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company and each Selling Stockholder agree, severally and not jointly, to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company and each Selling Stockholder, at a purchase price of $[ ] per share, that number of Firm Securities (rounded up or down, as determined by the Representatives in their discretion, in order to avoid fractions) obtained by multiplying [ ] Firm Securities in the case of the Company and the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Selling Stockholder in Schedule B hereto, in the case of a Selling Stockholder, in each case by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule A hereto and the denominator of which is the total number of Firm Securities.

Certificates in book-entry form for the Offered Securities to be sold by the Selling Stockholders hereunder have been placed in custody, for delivery under this Agreement, under Custody Agreements made with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as custodian (“ Custodian ”). Each Selling Stockholder agrees that the shares represented by the certificates held in custody for the Selling Stockholders under such Custody Agreements are subject to the interests of the Underwriters hereunder, that the arrangements made by the Selling Stockholders for such custody are to that extent irrevocable, and that the obligations of the Selling Stockholders hereunder shall not be terminated by operation of law, whether by the death of any individual Selling Stockholder or the occurrence of any other event, or in the case of a trust, by the death of any trustee or trustees or the termination of such trust. If any individual Selling Stockholder or any such trustee or trustees should die, or if any other such event should occur, or if any of such trusts should terminate, before the delivery of the Offered Securities hereunder, such Offered Securities shall be delivered by the Custodian in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if such death or other event or termination had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the Custodian shall have received notice of such death or other event or termination.

The Company and the Custodian will deliver the Firm Securities to or as instructed by the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters in a form reasonably acceptable to the Representatives against payment of the purchase price in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the Representatives drawn to the order of the Company in the case of [ ] shares of Firm Securities and [ ] in the case of [ ] shares of Firm Securities, at the office of Latham & Watkins LLP, 811 Main Street, Suite 3700, Houston, Texas 77002, at [9:00] am (Eastern Time), on [ ] 2014, or at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Representatives and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “ First Closing Date ”. For purposes of Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the First Closing Date (if later than the otherwise applicable settlement date) shall be the settlement date for payment of funds and delivery of securities for all the Offered Securities sold pursuant to the offering. Delivery of the Firm Securities will be made through the facilities of the Depositary Trust Company (the “ DTC ”) unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

In addition, upon written notice from the Representatives given to the Company from time to time not more than 30 days subsequent to the date of the Final Prospectus, the Underwriters may purchase all or less than all of the Optional Securities at the purchase price per Security to be paid for the Firm Securities. Such notice shall set forth (i) the aggregate number of shares of Optional Securities to be sold by the Company as to which the Underwriters are exercising the option and (ii) the time, date and place at which the Optional Securities will be delivered (each time for the delivery of and payment for the Optional Securities being herein referred to as an “ Optional Closing Date ,” which may be the First Closing Date) (the First Closing Date and each Optional Closing Date, if any, being sometimes referred to as a “ Closing Date ”). The Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the number of Optional Securities specified in such notice and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase such Optional Securities. Such Optional Securities shall be purchased for the account of each Underwriter in the same proportion as the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name bears to the total number of Firm Securities (subject to adjustment by the Representatives to eliminate fractions) and may be purchased by the Underwriters only for the purpose

 

16


of covering over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Firm Securities. No Optional Securities shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm Securities previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The right to purchase the Optional Securities or any portion thereof may be exercised from time to time and to the extent not previously exercised may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by the Representatives to the Company and the Selling Stockholders.

Each Optional Closing Date shall be determined by the Representatives but shall be not later than five full business days after written notice of election to purchase Optional Securities is given. The Company will deliver the Optional Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date to or as instructed by the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters in a form reasonably acceptable to the Representatives, against payment of the purchase price therefor in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the Representatives drawn to the order of the Company, at the above office of Latham & Watkins LLP. The delivery of any Optional Securities will be made through the facilities of the DTC unless the Representatives shall otherwise instruct.

The Company will advise the Representatives promptly of any such filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and provide satisfactory evidence to the Representatives of such timely filing.

The Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of any Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Stockholder Information; and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the enforcement of this provision with respect to the above as such expenses are incurred. The aggregate liability of each Selling Stockholder under Section 8(b) and Section 8(e) or any claim for breach of representations and warranties of such Selling Stockholder contained in Section 2 shall be limited to the aggregate net proceeds, after underwriting discounts but before deducting expenses received by such Selling Stockholder, from the offering of the Offered Securities purchased under the Agreement received by such Selling Stockholder, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Prospectus.

(c) Indemnification of Company and Selling Stockholders. Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each Selling Stockholder (each, an “ Underwriter Indemnified Party ”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus at any time, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Underwriter Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: (i) the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the fifth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” and (ii) the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)”.

(d) Actions against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if indemnity may be sought pursuant to the last paragraph in Section 8(a) hereof in respect of such action or proceeding, then in addition to such separate firm for the indemnified parties, the indemnifying party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Designated Underwriter for the defense of any losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of the Directed Share Program, and all persons, if any, who control the Designated Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act of Section 20 of the Exchange Act. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholders or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay

 

25


by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(e).

9. Default of Underwriters . If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First Closing Date or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the Selling Stockholders for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives, the Company and the Selling Stockholders for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholders, except as provided in Section 10 (provided that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the First Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any Optional Securities purchased prior to such termination). As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations . The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Selling Stockholders, of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any Selling Stockholder, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(d) hereof, the Company and the Selling Stockholders will, jointly and severally, reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable documented fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities, and the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall remain in effect. In addition, if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder, the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect.

11. Notices . All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, hand delivered or telecopied and confirmed to the Representatives at Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010-3629, Attention: LCD-IBD and Goldman, Sachs & Co., 85 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004 or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, hand delivered or telecopied and confirmed to it at 221 West 6 th Street, Suite 750, Austin, Texas 78701 Attention: Colin W. Roberts, or, if sent to the Selling Stockholders or any of them, will be mailed, hand delivered or telecopied and confirmed to counsel for the Selling Stockholders; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, hand delivered or telecopied and confirmed to such Underwriter.

 

26


12. Successors . This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives and successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

13. Representation of Underwriters . The Representatives will act for the several Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representatives jointly or by Credit Suisse will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

14. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

15. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company and the Selling Stockholders acknowledge and agree that:

(a) No Other Relationship. The Representatives have been retained solely to act as underwriters in connection with the sale of the Offered Securities and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company or the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Representatives, on the other, has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Final Prospectus, irrespective of whether the Representatives have advised or are advising the Company or the Selling Stockholders on other matters;

(b) Arms’ Length Negotiations. The price of the Offered Securities set forth in this Agreement was established by Company and the Selling Stockholders following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Representatives and the Company and the Selling Stockholders are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) Absence of Obligation to Disclose. The Company and the Selling Stockholders have been advised that the Representatives and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company or the Selling Stockholders and that the Representatives have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(d) Waiver. The Company and the Selling Stockholders waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims they may have against the Representatives for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that the Representatives shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company or the Selling Stockholders in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

16. Applicable Law . This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The Company hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in Federal and state courts in the

 

27


Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

17. Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company and the Selling Stockholder, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

6. Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, there are no persons with registration rights or other similar rights described in or created pursuant to any agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement to have any securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or registered by the Company under the Securities Act or otherwise; and, except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, no options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other obligations to issue, or convert any obligations into or exchange any securities for, shares of capital stock of or ownership interests in the Company are outstanding.


7. The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company does not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the offering, issuance and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the application of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities as described under “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus will not, (a) result in a breach or default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such an event) under any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; (b) violate the provisions of the Governing Documents or the similar organizational documents of the Company’s subsidiaries; (c) violate any federal, New York or Texas statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the DGCL, the DRULPA, or the Delaware LLC Act, or (d) result in the creation of any additional lien upon any property or assets of the Company or its subsidiaries under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement except, with respect to clauses (c) and (d), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to consummate the Reorganization Transactions or the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement in connection with the offering, issuance and sale of the Offered Securities by the Company (a “Material Adverse Effect”); it being understood that we express no opinion in clause (c) of this paragraph (5) with respect to any federal or state securities, Blue Sky or anti-fraud laws, rules or regulations.

 

8. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

 

9. The Reorganization Transactions have been duly authorized by the Company and Parsley Energy, LLC (together, the “Company Parties”).

 

10. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company Parties and constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of each of the Company Parties, enforceable against the Company Parties in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited (A) by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) relating to enforceability and (B) public policy, applicable law relating to fiduciary duties and indemnification and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

 

11. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or qualification with any federal, Texas or New York court or governmental agency or any Delaware court or governmental agency acting pursuant to the DGCL is required to be obtained or made by the Company or its subsidiaries for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement, the compliance by the Company with the terms thereof and the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities by the Company being delivered on the date hereof pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, except (i) as have been obtained or made, (ii) for the registration of the offering and sale of the Offered Securities under the Securities Act, (iii) for such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or qualifications as may be required under applicable federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws and the approval by FINRA of the underwriting terms and arrangements in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters or (iv) for such consents that, if not obtained, have not or would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

12. The Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Act; to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Commission; and any required filing of the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act has been made in the manner and within the time period required by such rule.

 

13.

The statements set forth in the Final Prospectus under the headings “Business—Regulation of the Oil and Natural Gas Industry,” “Business—Regulation of Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Matters,” “Description of Capital Stock,” “Material U.S. Federal Income and Estate Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders,” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” and in the Registration Statement in Item 14, to


  the extent that they constitute descriptions or summaries of the terms of the Common Stock or the documents referred to therein, or refer to statements of federal law, the laws of the State of Delaware or legal conclusions, are accurate in all material respects.

 

14. None of the Company or its subsidiaries is, and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Offered Securities pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and application of the net proceeds thereof as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds,” will be, required to register as an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act.

 

15. Each of the Registration Statement, at the time it was declared effective, the General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, and the Final Prospectus, when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and at the Closing Date (in each case other than (a) the financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon, (b) the other financial data derived therefrom and (c) oil and natural gas reserve data or reports, in each case included in or omitted from the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as to which we express no opinion), appears on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act.

We have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company and with representatives of its independent accountants and counsel for the Underwriters, at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto and related matters were discussed. Although we have not undertaken to determine independently, and do not assume any responsibility for, or express opinion regarding (other than listed in paragraph 11 above), the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, based upon the participation described above (relying as to factual matters upon statements of fact made to us by representatives of the Company), nothing has come to our attention to cause us to believe that:

(a) the Registration Statement, at the time it was declared effective (including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness), contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

Each Releasing Party expressly acknowledges that the release contained herein applies to all Released Claims, whether such Released Claims are known or unknown, and include Released Claims that if known by the Releasing Party might materially affect its decision to effect the release contained herein. Each Releasing Party has considered and taken into account the possible existence of such Released Claims in determining to execute and deliver this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, solely with respect to the Released Claims, each Releasing Party expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law that provides that a release does not extend to claims that the Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by the Releasing Party would have materially affected the Releasing Party’s release with the Released Parties. This Agreement constitutes a complete defense of any and all Released Claims. Each Releasing Party further agrees not to initiate any litigation, lawsuit, claim or action against any Released Party with respect to any Released Claim, except that the Releasing Party shall not be limited hereby from responding to, joining, prosecuting or being involved in any litigation, lawsuit, claim or action brought against such Releasing Party in respect of a Released Claim, nor from adjudicating whether or not a Claim constitutes a Released Claim.

Section 6.2. Tax Indemnification . From and after the Effective Time, each Party (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each other Party and such other Party’s affiliates, and its and its affiliates’ respective directors, officers, managers, members, partners, stockholders, employees, agents and representatives, as applicable (the “ Indemnitees ”), from any and all damages, losses, obligations, liabilities, payments, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of outside attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors and expert witnesses), whether known or unknown, contingent or vested, matured or unmatured, that are or may be suffered or incurred by any such Indemnitee arising out or relating to a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of the Indemnifying Party set forth in Article V ; provided that the indemnity described in this Section 6.2 shall apply only to the extent that such breach adversely affects the Tax Treatment and such adverse effect results in damages, losses, obligations, liabilities, payments, costs and/or expenses that are suffered or incurred by an Indemnitee.

 

12


Section 6.3. Delivery of FIRPTA Certificate . Prior to the Effective Time, each PubCo Contributor will deliver to PubCo a certificate meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation § 1.1445-2(b)(2) certifying that such PubCo Contributor is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445 of the Code, duly executed by such PubCo Contributor.

Except as set forth in Section 5.1 for the Released Parties, this Agreement is not intended to, and does not create, rights in any other person and no person is or is intended to be a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.6. Severability . If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to contravene, or to be invalid under, the laws of any political body having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof, such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. Instead, this Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the particular provision or provisions held to be invalid, and an equitable adjustment shall be made and necessary provision added so as to give effect to the intention of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement at the time of execution of this Agreement.

Section 6.7. Waivers and Amendments . Any waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, or any amendment or supplement to this Agreement, shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the Parties. A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive a Party’s rights hereunder at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every term or condition of this Agreement.

Section 6.8. Entire Agreement . This Agreement, together with the A&R Parsley LLC Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the transactions contemplated hereby, and together supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties pertaining thereto.

Section 6.9. Governing Law . The Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

AGREEMENTS

1. Effective Time . The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger, in substantially the form of the Certificate of Merger attached hereto as Annex A , with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later date specified in such Certificate of Merger (such time being referred to herein as the “ Effective Time ”).

  b. No certificates representing fractional shares of Class A common stock shall be issued in connection with the conversion described herein. Parsley may, in lieu of delivering such fractional Class A common stock, elect, in its sole discretion, (on a stockholder by stockholder basis) to (i) pay an amount in cash to the holder of such fractional Membership Interest equal to the same fraction of the price per share of each Class A common stock of $[•], (ii) round the total shares delivered up to the next highest round number of Class A common stock, or (iii) round the total shares delivered down to the previous round number of Class A common stock.

5. Effect of the Merger . At and after the Effective Time, the Merger will have the effects set forth in Section 18-209 of the Delaware Act and Section 264 of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of MergerCo shall be vested in Parsley, and all debts, liabilities and duties of MergerCo shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of Parsley.

6. Amendment . At any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may, to the extent permitted by the Delaware Act and the DGCL, be supplemented, amended or modified by the mutual written consent of the Parties.

8. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

  RE: Registration Statement on Form S-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Parsley Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), in connection with the proposed offer and sale (the “ Offering ”) by the Company and the selling shareholders (the “ Selling Shareholders ”), pursuant to a prospectus forming a part of a Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-195230, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2014 (such Registration Statement, as amended at the effective date thereof, being referred to herein as the “ Registration Statement ”), of up to 50,485,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “ Common Shares ”).

Pursuant to the terms of a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) that will be completed in connection with the Offering, (a) the Selling Shareholders will contribute all or a portion of their units in Parsley Energy, LLC to Parsley Inc., and in connection therewith, Common Shares will be issued to the Selling Shareholders and (b) the interests held by the Selling Shareholders in Parsley Energy Employee Holdings, LLC (“ PEEH ”) will be converted into Common Shares in connection with the merger of PEEH with and into the Company.

In connection with this opinion, we have assumed that (i) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective, (ii) the Common Shares will be issued and sold in the manner described in the Registration Statement and the prospectus relating thereto, (iii) the Reorganization will have been consummated in the manner described in the Registration Statement and the prospectus relating thereto, and (iv) a definitive underwriting agreement, in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, with respect to the sale of the Common Shares will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto.

In connection with the opinion expressed herein, we have examined, among other things, (i) the form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the form of Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, (ii) the records of corporate proceedings that have occurred prior to the date hereof with respect to the Offering, (iii) the Registration Statement and (iv) the form of underwriting agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We have also reviewed such questions of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate. As to matters of fact relevant to the opinion expressed herein, and as to factual matters arising in connection with our examination of corporate documents, records and other documents and writings, we relied upon certificates and other communications of corporate officers of the Company, without further investigation as to the facts set forth therein.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

(a) with respect to the Common Shares to be issued or sold by the Company, when the Common Shares have been delivered in accordance with a definitive underwriting agreement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and upon payment of the consideration therefor provided for therein (not less than the par value of the Common Shares), such Common Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; and

(b) with respect to the Common Shares proposed to be sold by the Selling Shareholders, following the consummation of the Reorganization, such Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The foregoing opinions are limited in all respects to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws) and the federal laws of the United States of America, and we do not express any opinions as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.


May 12, 2014 Page 2

We hereby consent to the statements with respect to us under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Vinson & Elkins L.L.P.

(ii) in the event Borrower delivers to Agent a Reinvestment Notice with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, Borrower shall apply an amount equal to the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds less the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds, if any, expended prior to the relevant Reinvestment Prepayment Date to make a Qualified Investment to (i) prepay the principal amount of the Loans or (ii) repay amounts required to be repaid under the First Lien Credit Agreement as the result of any borrowing base deficiency or optionally prepay the principal amount of loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement provided the commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement are permanently reduced by an equal amount.

 

24


(d) Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.9 and shall be accompanied by a cash payment of the accrued interest (whether accrued as Cash Interest or PIK Interest) to the Prepayment Date on the principal amount prepaid together with all other amounts then owing under this Agreement or any Loan Document including any fees and expenses then due and payable under any Loan Document. Each prepayment of the Tranche A Loans pursuant to Sections 2.7(a), 2.7(b) or 2.7(c) shall be accompanied by the concurrent payment of the Applicable Premium.

2.8 Interest Rates, Payment Dates and Computation of Interest and Fees .

(a) Each Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at the Interest Rate.

(b) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or there shall occur and be continuing any other Event of Default, all outstanding Loans (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to the Interest Rate plus 2.0% (the “ Default Rate ”), but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, from the date of such nonpayment of principal or occurrence of such Event of Default, respectively, until such amount of principal is paid in full (after as well as before judgment) or until such Event of Default is no longer continuing, respectively, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(c) Subject to Section 2.8(d) and Section 2.9(h), interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

(d) Interest shall be payable in cash, other than that certain portion of the interest accruing at the PIK Interest Rate, which shall be payable as PIK Interest (the portion of interest payable in cash, “ Cash Interest ”); provided that, to the extent the Cash Interest Rate exceeds 15.0% per annum at any time, such excess shall be payable as PIK Interest. All accrued PIK Interest that becomes due and payable shall be deemed an extension of additional Loans (“ PIK Loans ”) pursuant to the terms of, and subject to, the Loan Documents. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes hereof, references to “principal amount” of Loans refers to the original face amount of the Loans plus any PIK Loans. The entire unpaid balance of all PIK Loans shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, a PIK Loan will be deemed to be in the same Tranche as is the underlying Loan to which it relates.

(e) If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the rate applicable during such extension period.

(f) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and, in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and the last day).

 

25


2.9 Application of Payments; Place of Payments .

(a) Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, each payment (including any prepayment) in respect of principal or interest in respect of any Loans and each payment in respect of fees (other than fees payable in accordance with Section 2.5(a)) or expenses payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, on a pro rata basis as between the Tranche A Loans and the Tranche B Loans). Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing all payments and any other amounts received by Agent from or for the benefit of Borrower shall be applied: (i)  first , to pay all Obligations then due and payable and (ii)  second , as Borrower so designates.

(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral, and agrees that Agent may, and shall upon either (A) the written direction of the Required Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 7.1, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral in the following order:

(i)  first , to the payment or reimbursement of Agent for all costs, expenses, disbursements and losses incurred by Agent and which any Loan Party is required to pay or reimburse pursuant to the Loan Documents;

(ii)  second , to the payment or reimbursement of the Secured Parties (on a pro rata basis as between Tranche A Lenders and Tranche B Lenders) for all costs, expenses, disbursements and losses incurred by such Persons and which any Loan Party is required to pay or reimburse pursuant to the Loan Documents;

(iii)  third , to the payment of interest on the Loans which is then due on a pro rata basis as between the Tranche A Loans and the Tranche B Loans;

(iv)  fourth , to the payment of principal of the Loans which are then due on a pro rata basis as between the Tranche A Loans and the Tranche B Loans;

(v)  fifth , to the payment to the Secured Parties of all other Obligations on a pro rata basis as between the Tranche A Lenders and the Tranche B Lenders; and

(vi)  sixth , to whomsoever shall be legally entitled thereto.

(d) If any Lender owes payments to Agent hereunder, any amounts otherwise distributable under this Section 2.9 to such Lender shall be deemed to belong to Agent to the extent of such unpaid payments, and Agent shall apply such amounts to make such unpaid payments rather than distribute such amounts to such Lender. All distributions of amounts described in paragraphs second and fifth above shall be made by Agent to each applicable Secured Party on a pro rata basis determined by the amount such Obligations owed to such Secured Party represents of the aggregate amount of all such Obligations.

(e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, premium, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim

 

26


and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and (other than payments of PIK Interest prior to the Maturity Date) in immediately available funds. Any payment made by Borrower after 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day. Agent shall distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.

(f) Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to Agent, Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to Agent, and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to Agent by the required time on any Borrowing Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) the rate determined by Agent in accordance with the banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.9(f) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, on demand, from Borrower.

(g) Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by Borrower hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment to Agent, Agent may assume that Borrower is making such payment, and Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to Agent by Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of Agent or any Lender against Borrower.

(h) Each payment of the Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest through the date of such payment on the amount paid.

2.10 Requirements of Law . If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.11 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender) or shall impose on such Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10, it shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 submitted by any Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

27


2.11 Taxes .

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes imposed on Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“ Non-Excluded Taxes ”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided , however , that Borrower or any Guarantor shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to Agent or any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of Sections 2.11(d) or (e) or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to Agent or such Lender at the time Agent or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that Agent’s or such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.11(a). Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall make any required withholding and pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(b) In addition, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter Borrower shall send to Agent for the account of Agent or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Borrower showing payment thereof. If Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a “ Non U.S. Lender ”) shall deliver to Borrower and Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY (together with any required attachments) or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit J to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed

 

28


and duly executed by such Non U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.11(d), a Non U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) that such Non U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(f) If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11(f), it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.11(f) with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided , that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.11(f) shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Each Lender shall deliver such documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is not a Non U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date that such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Agent or upon the expiration or obsolescence of a prior form), duly completed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 confirming an exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(h) For purposes of this Section 2.11, if a Lender is treated as a domestic partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes any withholding or payment of a U.S. federal withholding tax by such Lender or by any direct partner or direct member of such Lender (in each case, as of the Closing Date) that is a withholding foreign partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with respect to any payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be considered a withholding or payment of such U.S. federal withholding tax by Borrower; provided, however, that this Section 2.11(h) shall apply only with respect to payments made by such Lender or such withholding foreign partnership to direct or indirect partners of such Lender as of the Closing Date.

 

29


(i) For the avoidance of doubt, each party hereto agrees that it will treat the Indebtedness incurred by the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents as debt for U.S. tax purposes.

2.12 Indemnity . Borrower agrees promptly to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure to make any prepayment of a Loan after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; (b) the repayment of any Loans that are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of a calendar quarter (whether such repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or occurs as a result of acceleration, mandatory prepayment, by operation of law or otherwise); (c) a default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan; or (d) a default in making any borrowing of Loans after Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith. Such indemnification shall include any loss (excluding loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.12, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of that Loan and having a three-month maturity; provided that each Lender may fund each of its Loans in any manner it deems appropriate, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 2.12. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.13 Change of Lending Office . Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10 or 2.11(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided , further , that nothing in this Section 2.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11(a).

2.14 Defaulting Lenders .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.8 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion

 

30


thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth , so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth , provided all amounts owing to Borrower under “fourth” above have been paid to Borrower, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) If Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.15 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances . Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11 or (b) any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) Lenders with an Aggregate Exposure Percentage equal to at least a 75% are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, (ii) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iv) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.13 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11, (v) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (vi) Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.12 (as though Section 2.12 were applicable) if any Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vii) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent, (viii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.7 ( provided that Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (ix) Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, and (x) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that Borrower, Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

THE AGENT

8.1 Appointment . Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent.

 

66


8.2 Delegation of Duties . Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions . Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person (INCLUDING SUCH PERSON’S OWN NEGLIGENCE) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

8.4 Reliance by Agent . Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, email, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 9.7 and all actions required by Section 9.7 in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

8.5 Notice of Default . Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent shall receive such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

67


8.6 Non Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders .

Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

8.7 Indemnification . THE LENDERS AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AGENT AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY ANY LOAN PARTY AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF ANY LOAN PARTY TO DO SO), RATABLY ACCORDING TO THEIR RESPECTIVE AGGREGATE EXPOSURE PERCENTAGES IN EFFECT ON THE DATE ON WHICH INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT UNDER THIS SECTION 8.7 (OR, IF INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT AFTER THE DATE UPON WHICH THE COMMITMENTS SHALL HAVE TERMINATED AND THE LOANS SHALL HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL, RATABLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH AGGREGATE EXPOSURE PERCENTAGES IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO SUCH DATE), FOR, AND TO SAVE AGENT HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER THAT MAY AT ANY TIME (INCLUDING, AT ANY TIME FOLLOWING THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS) BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF, THE COMMITMENTS, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED BY OR REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THEREIN OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY AGENT UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING (INCLUDING AGENT’S OWN NEGLIGENCE); PROVIDED THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS THAT ARE FOUND BY A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE DECISION OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED SOLELY AND PROXIMATELY FROM AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER AGREES TO REIMBURSE AGENT PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS RATABLE SHARE OF ANY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING COUNSEL FEES) INCURRED BY AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH

 

68


THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT, OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, TO THE EXTENT THAT AGENT IS NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH BY BORROWER. The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

8.8 Agent in its Individual Capacity . Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though Agent were not Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent in its individual capacity

8.9 Successor Agent . Agent may resign as Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrower. If Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After the retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.10 Collateral Matters .

(a) Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 9.16.

(b) Agent is authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any actions with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain Acceptable Security Interests in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. Agent is further authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any action (other than enforcement actions requiring the consent of, or request by, the Required Lenders as set forth in Section 7.1 above) in exigent circumstances as may be reasonably necessary to preserve any rights or privileges of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or applicable legal requirements. By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents, each Secured Party not party hereto hereby agrees to the terms of this Section 8.10(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, Borrower, Agent, and each Secured Party hereby agree that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof. By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents, each Secured Party not party hereto hereby agrees to the terms of this Section 8.10(c).

 

69


8.11 Withholding Tax .

(a) To the extent required by any applicable law, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the forms or other documentation required hereunder are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, a maximum amount of the applicable withholding tax.

(b) If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

(c) If any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms of Sections 2.11 and 8.11; provided that with respect to any Participant, as set forth in Section 9.7(b), such Participant shall only be required to comply with the requirements of Sections 2.11 and 8.11 if such Participant seeks to obtain the benefits of Section 2.11.

9.7 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments .

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, General Partner, Borrower, the Lenders, Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that none of Holdings, General Partner or Borrower may assign or transfer any of its respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or any other Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “ Participant ”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any

 

74


such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 9.1. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 9.8(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.11, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 2.11 and Section 8.11, and; provided , further , that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitments or the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “ Participant Register ”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c) Any Lender (an “ Assignor ”) may, without the consent of any Loan Party, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or any affiliate or Related Fund thereof or, with the consent of Agent (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) ( provided that no such consent need be obtained by Agent or its affiliates), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “ Assignee ”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit K (an “ Assignment and Acceptance ”), executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of Borrower or Agent is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate or Related Fund thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Agent; provided that for purposes of determining whether such $1,000,000 threshold has been achieved, amounts assigned by a Lender and its Affiliates and Related Funds shall be aggregated, (ii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500.00 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of Agent), provided , however , that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of concurrent assignments to Persons that, after giving effect to such assignments, will be Related Funds and (iii) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Agent in an

 

75


aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and Borrower, and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Sections 2.10, 2.11, 8.11 and 9.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this Section 9.7(c), multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated.

(d) Agent shall, on behalf of Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “ Register ”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Note evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by Agent to Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 9.7(c), by each such other Person), Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to Agent (in exchange for the applicable Note, if any, of the assigning Lender) a new Note or Notes to such Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment or Loan assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Commitment or Loan, as the case may be, upon request, a new Note or Notes to the Assignor in an amount equal to the Commitment or Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

 

76


(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 9.7 concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “ Granting Lender ”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “ SPV ”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Agent and Borrower, the option to provide to Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.7(g), any SPV may (x) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Borrower and Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of Borrower and Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any financial institutions providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (y) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV; provided that non-public information with respect to Borrower may be disclosed only with Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. This Section 9.7(g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPV with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.

9.8 Adjustments; Set off .

(a) If any Lender (a “ Benefitted Lender ”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in clause (f) of Article VII, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided , however , that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower

 

77


hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of or Borrower; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees to notify promptly Borrower and Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

9.9 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or in portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with Borrower and Agent.

9.10 Severability .

(b) Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

9.17 Interest Rate Limitation .

(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the laws of any State whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Loans, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any

 

80


Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Loans shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law.

(b) If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 9.17 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 9.17.

9.18 Accounting Changes . In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then Borrower and Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the consolidated financial condition of Borrower shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by Borrower, Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “ Accounting Change ” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC.

9.19 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL .

EACH PARTY HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF COUNSEL FOR ANY PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, OR IMPLIED THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS, AND ACKNOWLEDGES

 

81


THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.19.

9.20 Customer Identification – USA PATRIOT Act Notice . Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other party) and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “ Patriot Act ”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

9.21 Creditor-Debtor Relationship . The relationship between Agent and each Lender on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any other document or transaction contemplated herein or therein.

9.22 Intercreditor Agreement . Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of each Lender to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement. A copy of such Intercreditor Agreement will be made available to each Secured Party on the Closing Date and thereafter upon request. Each Lender (by receiving the benefits thereunder and of the Collateral) acknowledges and agrees to the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement and agrees that the terms thereof shall be binding on such Secured Party and its successors and assigns, as if it were a party thereto.

9.23 Amendment and Restatement .

(a) On the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect, except that Borrower, General Partner, Holdings, the Agent and the Lenders agree that (i) the incurrence by Borrower of “Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement (whether or not such “Indebtedness” is contingent as of the Closing Date) shall continue to exist under and be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to evidence the representations and warranties made by Borrower, General Partner and Holdings prior to the Closing Date, (iii) except as expressly stated herein or amended, the other Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed as remaining unmodified and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations, and (iv) the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to evidence any action or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Closing Date (including any failure, prior to the Closing Date, to comply with the covenants contained in the Existing Credit Agreement). The amendments and restatements set forth herein shall not cure any breach thereof or any “Default” or “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement existing prior to the Closing Date. This Agreement is not in any way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.

(b) The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall apply to all of the Indebtedness incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement.

(c) On and after the Closing Date, (i) all references to the Existing Credit Agreement (or to any amendment or any amendment and restatement thereof) in the Loan Documents (other than this

 

82


Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby (as it may be further amended, modified, supplemented or amended and restated), (ii) all references in any Loan Document (other than this Agreement) to any section (or subsection) of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended to become, mutatis mutandis, references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, on or after the Closing Date, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be references to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby (as it may be further amended, modified or restated).

(d) This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect unless specifically amended hereby or by any other Loan Document.

Litigation

 

  On September 13, 2013, Discovery Operating, Inc., et al (“Discovery”), filed a petition for declaratory relief in Midland County, Texas requesting that the court confirm its rights under an oil and gas lease covering portions of three sections of land in Midland County. The suit arose after Parsley leased what it believes to be unleased portions and strata of the same lands and filed a permit with the Texas Railroad Commission indicating its intention to complete a well within a strata that Discovery contends it holds. Parsley filed an Answer and Counterclaim on October 4, 2013, and requested that the court award Parsley damages for the cost of recompleting the shallower depths as well as lost production. Parsley considers Discovery’s contention’s meritless, and is optimistic about achieving a favorable resolution. Moreover, even an unfavorable outcome would not be material to Parsley’s Collateral taken as a whole. Parsley discloses the dispute only because the strictest reading of Section 3.7 could require the dispute to be disclosed.

Environmental Matters

 

  On or about November of 2010 there was a saltwater spill/release from a reserve pit on the Hall 252 lease by Matlock Drilling. There were no administrative filings or actions related to the occurrence.

 

  On August 10, 2013, there was a lightning strike to the Sheepshead saltwater disposal well. The lighting caused a fire which resulted in a steel tank bursting, and approximately 4,000 barrels of water and 75 barrels of skim oil were emptied on to the surrounding area. In addition to notifying the Texas Railroad Commission, the EPA was notified due to some of the spill collecting in a nearby dry draw. Parsley estimates the total cost of rebuilding the saltwater disposal to be $460,000. The company has filed a property damage claim for the cost of replacing the equipment and a general liability claim for the environmental remediation, and believes that all costs will be covered by our insurance policies.

 

  On December 7, 2012, there was a flowback line blow out incident at the location of the Dusek 45-8 well in Midland County. There were no administrative filings or actions related to the occurrence.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

This SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE (this “ Certificate ”) is delivered by the undersigned solely in his capacity as Chief Financial Officer of PARSLEY ENERGY MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“ General Partner ”) and the sole general partner of PARSLEY ENERGY, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, (“ Borrower ”) and [Chief Financial Officer] of Parsley Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“ Holdings ”) in connection with and pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of [   ] [   ], 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”), by and among Borrower, General Partner, Holdings, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto, and CHAMBERS ENERGY MANAGEMENT, LP, as Agent. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

A. I am, and since [   ] have been, the duly qualified and acting (i) Chief Financial Officer of General Partner and (ii) [Chief Financial Officer] of Holdings. Since [   ], I have participated actively in the management of the financial affairs of Borrower, General Partner and Holdings and am familiar with their financial statements. I have, together with other officers of General Partner and Holdings, as applicable, acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the negotiation of the Credit Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated thereby, and I am familiar with the terms and conditions thereof.

B. I have carefully reviewed the contents of this Certificate, and have conferred with counsel for the Loan Parties for the purpose of discussing the meaning of the defined terms in this Certificate.

C. In connection with preparing for the consummation of the borrowing under the Credit Agreement (the “ Financing ”), I have participated in the preparation of, and I have reviewed, projections (the “ Projections ”) of financial position, net income and cash flows for the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries for the fiscal years [   ] through [   ], which give effect to the consummation of the Financing and assume that the debt obligations of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries will be paid from the cash flow generated by the operations of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and other cash resources, including the Financing. No facts have come to my attention which have occurred since the Projections were prepared that would lead me to believe that the Projections are inaccurate or misleading in any material respect.

D. I have also participated in the preparation of, and I have reviewed, the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, as well as additional information respecting the assets and liabilities of Borrower and its Subsidiaries available to such Persons as of the date hereof.

E. In connection with the preparation of the Projections, I have made such investigations and inquiries as I have deemed necessary and prudent therefor and, specifically, have relied on historical information with respect to revenues, expenses and other relevant items supplied by the appropriate personnel of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries directly responsible for the various operations involved. The material assumptions upon which the Projections are based are stated therein. Although any assumptions and any projections by necessity involve uncertainties and approximations, I believe, based on my discussions with other members of management, that the assumptions on which the Projections are based are reasonable in light of the relevant facts and circumstances. Based thereon, I

 

H-1


believe that the Projections for the Loan Parties, provide reasonable estimations of future performance based on the assumptions provided therein, subject to the uncertainties and approximations inherent in any projections.

Based on the foregoing, I have reached the following conclusions:

1. From and after giving effect to all transactions to be consummated, including, but not limited to (i) the loans made on the Funding Date pursuant to the Credit Agreement (the “ Loans ”), (ii) the application of the proceeds of the Loans in accordance with Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) the payment of all estimated legal, accounting and other fees related thereto, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries are Solvent. My conclusion expressed above takes into account the Pro Forma Balance Sheet.

2. By the incurrence of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties will not, and will cause each Subsidiary not to, incur liabilities beyond their ability to pay as such liabilities mature. I have concluded that the realization of current assets in the ordinary course of business, cash on hand and available credit capacity should be sufficient to pay recurring debt and short-term and long-term debt service as such debts mature, and that the cash flow (including earnings plus non-cash charges to earnings) and refinancings should be sufficient to provide cash necessary to repay the Loans, the other Obligations and other long-term indebtedness as such debt matures.

3. No Loan Party has executed the Credit Agreement or any documents mentioned therein, or made any transfer or incurred any obligations thereunder, with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors.

I understand that the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing in connection with the extension of credit to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

In my capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of General Partner and the [Chief Financial Officer] of Holdings, I represent the foregoing information to be, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true and correct and execute this Certificate on behalf of Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties as of the date first written above.

PARSLEY ENERGY, INC.

2014 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made and entered into as of the “Date of Grant” set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock (the “Notice of Grant”) by and between Parsley Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and you;

WHEREAS , the Company adopted the Parsley Energy, Inc. 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”) under which the Company is authorized to grant restricted stock awards to certain employees and service providers of the Company;

WHEREAS , in order to induce you to enter into or to continue to provide services to the Company and to materially contribute to the success of the Company, the Company agrees to grant you this restricted stock award;

WHEREAS , a copy of the Plan has been furnished to you and shall be deemed a part of this restricted stock award agreement (“Agreement”) as if fully set forth herein and the terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan; and

WHEREAS , you desire to accept the restricted stock award made pursuant to this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and mutual covenants set forth herein and for other valuable consideration hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

1. The Grant . Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Company hereby grants to you, effective as of the Date of Grant, as a matter of separate inducement but not in lieu of any salary or other compensation for your services for the Company, an award (the “Award”) consisting of the aggregate number of restricted shares of Stock set forth in the Notice of Grant in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan.

2. Escrow of Restricted Shares . The Company shall evidence the Restricted Shares in the manner that it deems appropriate. The Company may issue in your name a certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Shares and retain that certificate or those certificates until the restrictions on such Restricted Shares expire as described in the Notice of Grant and Section 5 of this Agreement or the Restricted Shares are forfeited as described in Sections 4 and 6 of this Agreement. If the Company certificates the Restricted Shares, you shall execute one or more stock powers in blank for those certificates and deliver those stock powers to the Company. The Company shall hold the Restricted Shares and the related stock powers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, if applicable, until such time as (a) a certificate or certificates for the Restricted Shares are delivered to you, (b) the Restricted Shares are otherwise transferred to you free of restrictions, or (c) the Restricted Shares are canceled and forfeited pursuant to this Agreement.


3. Ownership of Restricted Shares . Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, from and after the time the Restricted Shares are issued in your name, you will be entitled to all the rights of absolute ownership of the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote those shares and the right to receive dividends thereon; provided, however, that any dividends paid by the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares prior to the expiration of the Forfeiture Restrictions shall be held in escrow by the Company and paid to you, if at all, at the time the Forfeiture Restrictions expire on the Restricted Share for which the dividend accrued; provided, further, that in no event shall dividends be settled later than 45 days following the date on which the Forfeiture Restrictions expire with respect to the Restricted Share for which the dividends were accrued. For purposes of clarity, if the Restricted Shares are forfeited by you pursuant to the terms of this Agreement then you shall also forfeit the dividends, if any, accrued with respect to such forfeited Restricted Shares. No interest will accrue on the dividends between the declaration and settlement of the dividends.

4. Restrictions; Forfeiture . The Restricted Shares are restricted in that they may not be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until these restrictions are removed or expire as described in the Notice of Grant and Section 5 of this Agreement. The Restricted Shares are also restricted in the sense that they may be forfeited to the Company (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). You hereby agree that if the Restricted Shares are forfeited, as provided in Section 6, the Company shall have the right to deliver the Restricted Shares to the Company’s transfer agent for, at the Company’s election, cancellation or transfer to the Company.

5. Expiration of Restrictions and Risk of Forfeiture . The restrictions on the Restricted Shares granted pursuant to this Agreement will expire and the Restricted Shares will become transferable and nonforfeitable as set forth in the Notice of Grant, provided that you remain in the employ of, or a service provider to, the Company or its Subsidiaries until the applicable dates set forth therein.

6. Termination of Services .

(a) Termination Generally . Subject to subsection (b), if your service relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason, then those Restricted Shares for which the restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of termination shall become null and void and those Restricted Shares shall be forfeited to the Company. The Restricted Shares for which the restrictions have lapsed as of the date of such termination shall not be forfeited to the Company.

(b) Effect of Employment Agreement . Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event of any inconsistency between this Section 6 and any employment agreement entered into by and between you and the Company, the terms of the employment agreement shall control.

7. Leave of Absence . With respect to the Award, the Company may, in its sole discretion, determine that if you are on leave of absence for any reason you will be considered to still be in the employ of, or providing services for, the Company, provided that rights to the Restricted Shares during a leave of absence may be limited to the extent to which those rights were earned or vested when the leave of absence began.

 

2


8. Delivery of Stock . Promptly following the expiration of the restrictions on the Restricted Shares as contemplated in Section 5 of this Agreement, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to you or your designee a certificate or other evidence of the number of Restricted Shares as to which restrictions have lapsed, free of any restrictive legend relating to the lapsed restrictions, upon receipt by the Company of any tax withholding as may be requested pursuant to Section 9. The value of such Restricted Shares shall not bear any interest owing to the passage of time.

9. Payment of Taxes . The Company may require you to pay to the Company (or the Company’s Subsidiary if you are an employee of a Subsidiary of the Company), an amount the Company deems necessary to satisfy its (or its Subsidiary’s) current or future obligation to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes that you incur as a result of the Award and may condition settlement of the Award upon such payment. With respect to any required tax withholding, the Committee may, in its sole discretion: (a) withhold from the shares of Stock to be issued to you under this Agreement the number of shares necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to withhold taxes; which determination will be based on the shares’ Fair Market Value at the time such determination is made; (b) allow you to deliver to the Company shares of Stock sufficient to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligations, based on the shares’ Fair Market Value at the time such determination is made; (c) allow you to deliver cash to the Company sufficient to satisfy its tax withholding obligations; (d) satisfy such tax withholding through any combination of (a), (b) and (c); or (e) take such other action as the Company deems advisable to enable the Company (or its Subsidiaries) to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations related to the Award. In the event the Company determines that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock withheld as payment of any tax withholding obligation is insufficient to discharge that tax withholding obligation, then you must pay to the Company, in cash, the amount of that deficiency immediately upon the Company’s request.

10. Compliance with Securities Law . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the issuance of Stock (including Restricted Shares) will be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state, or foreign law with respect to such securities and with the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. No Stock will be issued hereunder if such issuance would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state, or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, Stock will not be issued hereunder unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act, is at the time of issuance in effect with respect to the shares issued or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issued may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to the Award will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares as to which such requisite authority has not been obtained. As a condition to any issuance hereunder, the Company may require you to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect to such compliance as may be requested by the Company. From time to time, the Board and appropriate officers of the Company are authorized to take the actions necessary and appropriate to file required documents with governmental authorities, stock exchanges, and other appropriate Persons to make shares of Stock available for issuance.

The Company may require you or your legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee, as a condition precedent to such payment or issuance, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form as it shall determine.

17. No Guarantee of Interests . The Board and the Company do not guarantee the Stock of the Company from loss or depreciation.

18. Notice . All notices required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and personally delivered or sent by mail and shall be deemed to be delivered on the date on which it is actually received by the person to whom it is properly addressed or if earlier the date it is sent via certified United States mail.
