On January 7, 2019, Eclipse Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Everest Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Blue Ridge Mountain Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Blue Ridge”), entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 25, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Merger Sub, and Blue Ridge, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Blue Ridge (the “Merger”), with Blue Ridge surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Amendment No. 1 amends the Merger Agreement to: (i) cap the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that would be issued as a result of the Merger to holders of Blue Ridge performance interest awards and provide that the Company will pay the remainder payable with respect to such awards in cash; and (ii) provide for an extension to April 15, 2019 of the date after which a party may terminate the Merger Agreement (provided certain conditions are met) if the Merger has not been consummated on or before that date. The parties agreed to the foregoing extension in order to provide the parties additional flexibility in light of the recent shutdown of portions of the U.S. federal government.

Except as expressly amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1, all of the terms, conditions, and other provisions of the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 27, 2018, continue to be in full force and effect.

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 1 and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) Amendment No. 1, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 and incorporated by reference herein, and (ii) the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on August 27, 2018.
