This Form 4 reports securities disposed of in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of August 21, 2023, by and among Earthstone Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), Earthstone Energy Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Permian Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Permian"), Smits Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub I"), Smits Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub II"), and Permian Resources Operating, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
