Material Agreement Form 8 K

Sixth Amendment to Merger Agreement

On September 11, 2024, Battalion Oil Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Fury Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and San Jacinto Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), entered into a Sixth Amendment (the "Sixth Amendment") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 14, 2023 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 24, 2024 (the "First Amendment"), the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 6, 2024 (the "Second Amendment"), the Third Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 16, 2024 (the "Third Amendment"), the Fourth Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 16, 2024 (the "Fourth Amendment"), and the Fifth Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 10, 2024 (the "Fifth Amendment").

On September 10, 2024, at a special meeting of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), the Board approved, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee of the Board (the "Special Committee"), the Sixth Amendment to provide additional time for the Company and Parent to negotiate the terms of any amendments to the Merger Agreement.

As previously disclosed, Parent has proposed a further amendment of the Merger Agreement such that the amount of merger consideration payable to the holders of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement would be reduced from $9.80 per share of Common Stock to $7.00 per share of Common Stock (such proposal, the "Parent Proposal"). The Parent Proposal is contingent on the existing holders (the "Preferred Stockholders") of the Company's Series A through Series A-4 preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (collectively, the "Preferred Stock"), being the holders of all of the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company, rolling over 100% of the Preferred Stock held by them into new preferred equity in the surviving company following the merger (such proposed rollover, the "Rollover Transaction"). The Special Committee and the Board each continue to review the Parent Proposal. The Preferred Stockholders have confirmed to the Board and the Special Committee that, subject to finalization of the applicable definitive transaction documents between the Preferred Stockholders and Parent, the Preferred Stockholders have reached an agreement in principle with Parent on the terms of the Rollover Transaction. The Preferred Stockholders have also confirmed that they are working with Parent to finalize the terms of such definitive transaction documents relating to the Rollover Transaction.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as amended by the Fifth Amendment), either Parent or the Company has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not consummated on or before 11:59 p.m. Central Time on September 12, 2024 (the "Termination Date"). The Sixth Amendment amends the Merger Agreement to extend the Termination Date from 11:59 p.m. Central Time on September 12, 2024 to 11:59 p.m. Central Time on December 31, 2024.

Except as modified by the Sixth Amendment, the terms of the Merger Agreement, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment, in the forms filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 18, 2023, January 24, 2024, February 6, 2024, February 16, 2024, April 16, 2024 and June 11, 2024, respectively, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), are unchanged. The Company continues to reserve all of its rights and remedies under the Merger Agreement and applicable law.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment, which were filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on December 18, 2023, January 24, 2024, February 6, 2024, February 16, 2024, April 16, 2024 and June 11, 2024, respectively.
