Crescent Energy Announces Confidential Submission of Draft Registration Statement for Proposed Initial Public Offering of Crescent Royalties

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crescent Energy Company (“Crescent”) announced today that, as permitted under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, it has caused its indirect subsidiary, Crescent Royalty Company (“Crescent Royalties”), to confidentially submit a draft registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a proposed initial public offering of Crescent Royalties’ Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), to be created and issued in connection therewith. The assets being considered for initial contribution to Crescent Royalties in connection with the proposed initial public offering are mineral and royalty interests in the Eagle Ford, with additional exposure to other premier oil and natural gas basins in the United States, including the Permian, Appalachian and Denver-Julesburg Basins.

The principal purpose of the proposed initial public offering is to create a public market for the Class A Common Stock and facilitate Crescent Royalties’ future access to the capital markets. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be offered and the price range for the offering have not yet been determined. Any potential offering remains subject to completion of the SEC review process, further authorization by Crescent’s board of directors, market conditions and other considerations. There is no assurance that the initial public offering will be consummated.

These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction. Any offer, solicitations of offers to buy, or any sales of securities will only be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption therefrom. This announcement is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135 under the Securities Act.
