On December 11, 2020, Amplify Energy Corp. (the “Company”), certain stockholders of the Company (together, the “Selling Stockholders”) and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Underwriter”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell to the Underwriter, and the Underwriter agreed to purchase from the Selling Stockholders, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, an aggregate of 8,548,485 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Offering”). The material terms of the Offering are described in the prospectus supplement, dated December 11, 2020 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 11, 2020, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Offering closed on December 15, 2020. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock in the Offering. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, closing conditions and termination provisions. The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Underwriter may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

The Underwriter and its affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. As more fully described under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus Supplement, the Underwriter and its affiliates may in the future provide a variety of these services to the Company and to persons and entities with relationships with the Company for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
