UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Acquisition of Chesapeake's South Texas Assets

On August 11, 2023, SilverBow Resources, Inc. (“SilverBow” or the “Company”) and its operating subsidiary, SilverBow Resources Operating, LLC (“SilverBow Operating”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Chesapeake Energy Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C., Chesapeake Operating, L.L.C., Chesapeake Energy Marketing, L.L.C. and Chesapeake Royalty, L.L.C. (collectively “Chesapeake”), to buy Chesapeake's South Texas assets (the “Chesapeake Transaction”). Under the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, which has an economic effective date of February 1, 2023, the aggregate consideration to be paid to Chesapeake in the Chesapeake Transaction will consist of $700,000,000, comprised of cash in the amount of $650,000,000, due at the closing of the Chesapeake Transaction, subject to certain purchase price adjustments and cash in the amount of $50,000,000 due on the first anniversary of the closing of the Chesapeake Transaction. The Chesapeake Transaction also includes an earn-out payment contingent upon the average monthly settlement price of NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil for the 12 month period beginning on the first trading day of the next full calendar month following the closing date of the Chesapeake Transaction. If the average monthly settlement price of WTI during the 12 month period exceeds $80 per barrel, SilverBow shall pay Chesapeake an amount equal to $50 million or (b) is between $75 per barrel and $80 per barrel, SilverBow shall pay Chesapeake an amount equal to $25 million. If the average monthly settlement price of WTI during the 12 month period is below $75 per barrel, SilverBow shall not owe Chesapeake an earn-out payment.

The Chesapeake Transaction is expected to be funded with borrowings under the Company's existing Credit Facility, proceeds from its Second Lien Notes and cash on hand. In conjunction with the Chesapeake Transaction, the Company has secured $425 million of incremental commitments under its Credit Facility from existing and new lenders, which, subject to the closing of the Chesapeake Transaction, will increase lender commitments under the Credit Facility to $1.2 billion, and the Second Lien Notes will be upsized by $350 million, which, subject to the closing of the Chesapeake Transaction, will increase lender commitments under the Second Lien Notes to $500 million and extend the maturity date for the Second Lien Notes to December 15, 2028 (together, the “related financing”).

Acquisition of Sundance Assets

On June 30, 2022, SilverBow and its operating subsidiary, SilverBow Operating, closed the previously announced purchase and sale agreement dated April 13, 2022 with Sundance Energy, Inc. and certain affiliated entities (collectively, “Sundance”), thereby acquiring oil and gas assets in the Eagle Ford (the “Sundance Transaction” and together with the Chesapeake Transaction, the “Transactions”). After consideration of closing adjustments, total aggregate consideration was approximately $344.9 million, consisting primarily of $220.9 million in cash, 4,148,472 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $117.7 million based on the Company's share price on the closing date and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $7.4 million. The contingent consideration consists of up to two earn-out payments of $7.5 million each, contingent upon the average monthly settlement price of NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil exceeding $95 per barrel for the period from April 13, 2022 through December 31, 2022 which would trigger a payment of $7.5 million in 2023 and $85 per barrel for 2023 which would trigger a payment of $7.5 million in 2024 (the “2022 WTI Contingency Payout”). The contingent payout for the period of April 13, 2022 through December 31, 2022 did not materialize. As part of our post-close settlement, we settled the 2022 WTI Contingency during the second quarter of 2023. As such, we are no longer required to make a contingency payment related to the 2022 WTI Contingency Payout. We incurred approximately $6.8 million in transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2022 related to the Sundance Transaction.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of SilverBow, historical South Texas Rich Properties Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses related to the Chesapeake Transaction and from the historical financial activity of Sundance through June 30, 2022, the closing date of the Sundance Transaction.

The Company expects to account for the Chesapeake Transaction as an asset acquisition under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as the assets and operations acquired in the Chesapeake Transaction do not meet the definition of a business under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (referred to as “ASC 805”), since substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset group.

1

Certain historical amounts of Sundance and Chesapeake have been reclassified to conform to SilverBow’s financial statement presentation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 presented below was prepared as if the Chesapeake Transaction and related financing had occurred on June 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 presented below was prepared as if the Transactions and related financing of each transaction had occurred on January 1, 2022.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the following Transaction-related pro forma adjustments, based on available information and certain assumptions that SilverBow believes are reasonable:

•the Transactions, accounted for as asset acquisitions and the related financing of each Transaction;

•XxxxxxXxx’s related borrowing on its Credit Facility and Second Lien Notes, as applicable, to fund the cash portion of the Transactions;

•adjustments to conform the classification of expenses in Chesapeake’s historical statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses to SilverBow’s classification for similar expenses;

•adjustments to conform the classification of revenues and expenses in Sundance’s historical statements of operations to XxxxxxXxx’s classification for similar revenues and expenses; and

•the recognition of estimated tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In SilverBow’s opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to the Transactions and the related financing.

The acquisition method of accounting as it relates to the Chesapeake Transaction is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that, as of the date hereof, have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measure. XxxxxxXxx has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the relative fair value of Chesapeake’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed and has made certain adjustments to the historical book values of the assets and liabilities of Chesapeake to reflect preliminary estimates of the relative fair value necessary to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. A final determination of the relative fair value of Chesapeake’s assets and liabilities will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Chesapeake that exist as of the closing date of the Chesapeake Transaction and, therefore, cannot be made prior to the completion of the Chesapeake Transaction. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. The preliminary pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented below. SilverBow estimated the fair value of Chesapeake’s assets and liabilities based on discussions with Chesapeake’s management, preliminary valuation studies, due diligence, and information presented in Chesapeake’s historical financial statements. Any increases or decreases in the relative fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the final valuations will result in adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and/or statement of operations. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the pro forma purchase price allocation presented herein.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not intended to represent what XxxxxxXxx’s financial position or results of operations would have been had the Transactions actually been consummated on the assumed dates nor does it purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the combined company following the Chesapeake Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Chesapeake Transaction, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of ongoing savings from potential operating efficiencies, asset dispositions, cost savings, or economies of scale that the combined company may achieve with respect to the combined operations. Specifically, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not include projected synergies expected to be achieved as a result of the Transactions and any associated costs that may be required to be incurred to achieve the identified synergies. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations also exclude the effects of costs of integration activities and asset dispositions that may result from the Transactions.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in SilverBow’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto of Sundance filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2022, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

(1) Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company, the historical South Texas Rich Properties Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses related to the Chesapeake Transaction, and from the historical financial activity of Sundance through June 30, 2022, the closing date of the Sundance Transaction. Certain of Sundance’s historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to XxxxxxXxx’s financial statement presentation. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 were prepared assuming the Transactions and related financing transactions occurred on January 1, 2022. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet at June 30, 2023 was prepared as if the Chesapeake Transaction and related financing had occurred on June 30, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and certain assumptions that SilverBow believes are reasonable, however, actual results may differ from those reflected in these statements. In SilverBow’s opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to represent what XxxxxxXxx’s financial position or results of operations would have been if the transactions had actually occurred on the dates indicated above, nor are they indicative of SilverBow’s future financial position or results of operations. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of SilverBow, Sundance, Chesapeake, as applicable, for the period presented.

(2) Pro Forma Adjustments

The Company expects to account for the Chesapeake Transaction as an asset acquisition under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as the assets and operations acquired in the Chesapeake Transaction do not meet the definition of a business under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (referred to as “ASC 805”), since substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset group. The allocation of the preliminary estimated purchase price is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the relative fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as of June 30, 2023 using currently available information. Due to the fact that the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein. SilverBow expects to finalize its allocation of the purchase consideration as soon as practicable after completion of the proposed transaction.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change due to several factors, including but not limited to:

•changes in the estimated fair value of Chesapeake’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the closing of the Chesapeake Transaction, resulting from the finalization of SilverBow’s detailed valuation analysis, including changes in future oil and gas commodity prices, reserve estimates, interest rates and other factors;

•valuation of ASC 842 Leases as it relates to Chesapeake’s lease obligations and right of use assets expected to be recorded as part of purchase accounting upon the closing of the Chesapeake Transaction; and

•changes in the estimated fair value of the Contingent Consideration as of the date of the closing of the Chesapeake Transaction.

The following adjustments have been made to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements:

(a)    Consideration for the Chesapeake Transaction was approximately $700.0 million, (i) cash in the amount of $650.0 million due at the closing of the transaction, subject to certain purchase price adjustments (estimated $58.0 million reduction in cash consideration below) and (ii) cash in the amount of $50.0 million due on the first anniversary of the closing of the transaction. The table below represents the allocation of the total cost of the Chesapeake Transaction to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as

follows:

						(in thousands)
Total Cost
Cash consideration						$	592,000
Deferred acquisition payment						50,000
Fair value of contingent consideration						22,579
Total Consideration						$	664,579
Transaction costs						7,805
Total Cost of Transaction						$	672,384
Allocation of Total Cost of Transaction
Assets
Oil and gas properties						$	673,018
Right of use asset						200
Total Assets						673,218
Liabilities
Asset retirement obligations						634
Current lease liability						59
Non-current lease liability						141
Total liabilities assumed						$	834
Net Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed						$	672,384

(b)    Chesapeake Reclassification and Conforming Adjustments:

•Reflects reclassification of approximately $80.4 million from Direct Operating Expenses to the respective operating expenses by category ($16.8 million to Lease operating expenses, $0.8 million to Workovers, $51.0 million to Transportation and gas processing and $11.9 million to Severance and other taxes) on the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

•Reflects reclassification of approximately $189.0 million from Direct Operating Expenses to the respective operating expenses by category ($27.3 million to Lease operating expenses, $2.1 million to Workover, $133.4 million to Transportation and gas processing and $26.3 million to Severance and other taxes) on the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(c)    Sundance Reclassification and Conforming Adjustments:

•Reflects reclassification of approximately $102.3 million to oil and gas sales from the respective sales revenues by product ($83.6 million for oil sales, $7.5 million for gas sales and $11.2 million for NGL sales);

•Reflects reclassification of approximately $0.1 million from depreciation, depletion and amortization to accretion of asset retirement obligation;

•Reflects reclassification of approximately $2.0 million from lease operating expenses to workovers; and

•Reflects the reclassification of approximately $29.8 million of loss on commodity derivatives financial instruments from Operating Expenses to Non-Operating Income (Expense)

(d)    Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) relate to the Chesapeake Transaction for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and Sundance Transaction for the year ended December 31, 2022 was calculated using the unit-of-production method under the full cost method of accounting, and adjusts DD&A for (1) the increase in DD&A reflecting the relative fair values and production volumes attributable to the Transactions and (2) the revision to the Company’s DD&A rate reflecting the reserve volumes acquired in the Transactions.

(e)    Interest expense associated with borrowings under the Company's Second Lien Notes and Credit Facility utilizing current interest rates, as applicable, for each Transaction.

(f)    Adjustments to Income tax provision reflects the historical and adjusted Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes for each Transaction, as applicable, multiplied by 22.25% effective tax rate for the periods presented.

(3) Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserve Information

Estimated Quantities of Proved Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

The following tables present information regarding net proved oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Company's interests in proved properties as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The information set forth in the tables regarding historical reserves of the Company is based on proved reserves reports prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules. X.X. Xxxx and Associates, Inc. (“Gruy”), independent petroleum engineers, prepared the Company's proved reserves reports as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

In addition, the following tables also set forth information as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 about the estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Chesapeake Transaction, and the pro forma estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves as if the Chesapeake Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2021. The reserve estimates attributable to the Chesapeake Transaction at December 31, 2022 and 2021 presented in the table below were prepared based upon information provided by Chesapeake and was prepared in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB and the SEC on oil and natural gas reserve estimation and disclosures.

In addition, the following tables also set forth information as of December 31, 2021 about the estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Sundance Transaction, and the pro forma estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves as if the Sundance Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2021. The Sundance Transaction closed on June 30, 2022. Therefore, the net proved oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Sundance Transaction are reflected in XxxxxxXxx's historical reserves as of December 31, 2022. The reserve estimates attributable to the Sundance Transaction at December 31, 2021 presented in the table below were prepared based upon information provided by Sundance and was prepared in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the FASB and the SEC on oil and natural gas reserve estimation and disclosures.

Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and are generally based upon extrapolation of historical production trends, analogy to similar properties and volumetric calculations. Accordingly, reserve estimates are expected to change, and such changes could be material and occur in the near term as future information becomes available.

Changes in commodity prices may significantly impact the Company’s estimates of oil and natural gas reserves. Sustained lower commodity prices can reduce the quantity of the Company’s reserves by causing the economic limit of the proved developed and proved undeveloped xxxxx (the point at which the costs to operate exceed the value of estimated future production, assuming constant prices and costs under SEC rules) to occur earlier in their productive lives than would be the case with higher prices. The undeveloped reserves may also be reduced by the elimination of xxxxx because they would not meet the investment criteria to be economically producible at such prices and costs. The proved undeveloped reserves may also be eliminated by the deferral of drilling of otherwise economic xxxxx beyond the five year proved reserve development horizon as a result of revisions to the Company’s development plan adopted in response to lower prices or otherwise.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

The following table presents the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows relating to the proved oil and natural gas reserves of the Company, Chesapeake and Sundance on a pro forma combined basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Standardized Measure shown below represents estimates only and should not be construed as the current market value of the Company’s estimated oil and natural gas reserves or those acquired estimated oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Chesapeake Transaction.
