Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Maverick Natural Resources, LLC and Subsidiaries (“Maverick”) Business Combination
On January 24, 2025, Diversified Energy Company, PLC (the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) whereby Maverick will merge with a subsidiary of the Company in a stock-and-cash transaction (the “Maverick Transaction”), after which Maverick will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon preliminary evaluation, the Company concluded that the transaction would not result in significant asset concentration and determined that it will be acquiring a distinct set of inputs, processes, and outputs, leading to the conclusion that the transaction would preliminarily qualify as a business combination under International Financial Reporting Standards 3 (“IFRS 3”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will fund the transaction through a combination of the issuance of 21,217,713 new U.S. dollar-denominated ordinary shares to Maverick unitholders and pay cash consideration of approximately $207.1 million. Transaction costs and severance and change in control costs incurred with the Maverick Transaction are expected to be approximately $50 million. The closing is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others, regulatory clearance and approval by Diversified shareholders for the issuance and allotment of the ordinary shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement. These closing conditions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the Maverick Transaction may not be completed.
Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”) Working Interest Asset Acquisition
On June 6, 2024, the Company acquired Oaktree Capital Management, LP’s 100% membership interest in OCM Denali Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Oaktree Transaction”), whose assets predominantly included non-operated working interests in producing wells and related facilities (the “Assets”) that are operated by the Company. The Company assessed the Assets and determined that the Oaktree Transaction was considered an asset acquisition rather than a business combination. When making this determination, management evaluated the Oaktree Transaction under IFRS 3 and concluded that the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business. The Company paid purchase consideration of $220.8 million, inclusive of transaction costs of $1.2 million and customary purchase price adjustments. As part of the Oaktree Transaction, the Company assumed Oaktree’s debt of $132.6 million. The Company funded the purchase through a combination of existing and expanded liquidity and issued approximately $83.3 million in notes payable to Oaktree.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024 was prepared as if the Maverick Transaction had occurred on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared as if the Maverick and Oaktree transactions had occurred on January 1, 2023. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company, Maverick, and Oaktree.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and underlying pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and include certain estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management; accordingly, actual results could differ materially from the pro forma information. Significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the preliminary purchase price allocation, based on estimates of, and assumptions related to, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed that were applied as if the Maverick Transaction occurred on June 30, 2024. Management believes that the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes provide a reasonable and supportable basis for presenting the significant estimated effects of the transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the Maverick and Oaktree transactions had occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position does not purport to represent what the Company’s financial position would have been if the Maverick Transaction had occurred on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read together with the following:
| • | the Company’s audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2024; |
| • | the Company’s unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Interim Report for the six months ended June 30, 2024, furnished to the SEC as Exhibit 99.3 with Form 6-K on August 15, 2024; |
| • | Maverick’s audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this report on Form 6-K of which this Exhibit 99.3 is a part; and |
| • | Oaktree’s unaudited and audited historical statements of revenues and direct operating expenses and accompanying notes thereto, filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to the report on Form 6-K filed furnished to the SEC on August 20, 2024. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses,” using assumptions set forth in the notes herein. Article 11 permits presentation of reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). The Company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Note 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 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024, the historical Maverick consolidated financial statements, the historical Oaktree statements of revenues and direct operating expenses, and the historical financial activity of Oaktree from April 1, 2024 through June 6, 2024, the closing date of the Oaktree Transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared assuming the Maverick and Oaktree transactions occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024 was prepared as if the Maverick Transaction had occurred on June 30, 2024. The Oaktree transaction closed on June 6, 2024. Therefore, the Oaktree transaction is already included in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, however, actual results may differ materially. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been if the Maverick and Oaktree transactions had actually occurred on the date indicated above, nor is it indicative of the Company’s future results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company, as applicable, for the periods presented.
Note 2 - Reclassification Adjustments
Certain reclassifications have been made in the historical presentation of Maverick’s financial statements to conform to the Company’s historical presentation.

Note 4 - Preliminary Purchase Price & Pro Forma Adjustments - Maverick Transaction
Statement of Financial Position
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024 reflects the following adjustments for the Maverick Transaction:
(a) | As the accounting acquirer, Diversified expects to account for the Maverick Transaction as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3. Diversified’s allocation of the preliminary purchase price with respect to the Maverick Transaction is based on preliminary estimates of, and assumptions related to, the fair value of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as of June 30, 2024, using currently available information. Because the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on the financial position and results of operations of the combined company may be materially different from the pro forma amounts included herein. Diversified expects to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably practicable after completing the Maverick Transaction, which will not extend beyond the one-year measurement period provided under IFRS 3. |
The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change due to several factors, including, but not limiting to, the following:
• | Changes in the estimated fair value of Maverick’s identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Maverick Transaction, which could result from changes in natural gas and oil commodity prices, oil and gas reserves estimates, discount rates and other factors; and |
• | Changes in the estimated fair value of the Diversified common stock consideration issued to Maverick unitholders, based on the Diversified common stock closing price. |
The tables below represent the preliminary value of the total consideration and its allocation to the net assets acquired:
(In thousands, except share and per unit data) | | Diversified Shares Issued(1) | | | Price per Share(2) | | | Purchase Price Consideration | |
Diversified shares issued to legacy Maverick unit holders | | | 21,217,713 | | | $ | 16.57 | | | $ | 351,578 | |
PLUS: Cash consideration to legacy Maverick unitholders through draw on expanded credit facility | | | | | | | | | | | 207,100 | |
Preliminary purchase price consideration | | | | | | | | | | $ | 558,678 | |
(1) | The Diversified shares issued consists of the number of shares of Diversified common stock expected to be issued to legacy Maverick unitholders on the close date of the Maverick Transaction. |
(2) | The per share price reflects the closing price per share of Diversified common stock as of February 6, 2025. |

(1) | Maverick prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, while the Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Accordingly, the Company has adjusted Maverick’s current and non-current asset retirement obligation to conform to IFRS. No other material adjustments were necessary to conform to Diversified’s IFRS presentation. |
The final value of the consideration will be determined based on the market price of Diversified common stock at closing. A 20% change in the closing price of Diversified common stock, as compared to the February 6, 2025 closing price, would increase or decrease the consideration by approximately $70 million, assuming all other factors are held constant. Diversified anticipates that a change in the closing price of Diversified common stock will primarily impact the value of natural gas and oil properties.
(b) | Represents the adjustment of $12.5 million for estimated financing costs expected to be incurred by Diversified related to the amendment to be entered into by Diversified on the closing date of the Maverick Transaction to increase the borrowing base and commitment amounts on its existing revolving credit facility. |
(c) | Represents the accrual of $33.8 million of estimated transaction costs and $16.2 million of estimated severance and change in control costs payable to certain Maverick officers who are expected to be terminated as a result of the Maverick transaction, which are expected to be incurred by Diversified subsequent to June 30, 2024. These transaction and severance and change in control costs are preliminary estimates; the final amounts and the resulting effect on Diversified’s financial position may differ significantly. |
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 reflects the adjustments listed below for the Maverick Transaction. These adjustments are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined Company, unless stated otherwise.
(a) | Represents the incremental depreciation, depletion and amortization expense related to the assets to be acquired in the Maverick Transaction, which is based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Depletion was calculated using the unit-of-production method under the successful efforts method of accounting. The depletion expense was adjusted for the revision to the depletion rate reflecting the acquisition costs and the reserves volumes attributable to the acquired oil and gas properties. The pro forma depletion rate attributable to the Maverick Transaction was $4.71 per barrel of oil equivalent. |
(b) | Represents the net increase to interest expense resulting from the (i) incremental interest expense for borrowings on Diversified’s expanded credit facility to finance the closing of the Maverick Transaction and (ii) incremental interest expense for the amortization of estimated financing costs related to the amendment to be entered into by Diversified on the closing date of the Maverick Transaction to increase the borrowing base capacity and commitment amounts on Diversified’s revolving credit facility as follows: |
| | Six Months Ended | |
(In thousands) | | June 30, 2024 | |
Incremental interest expense for borrowings on Diversified's expanded revolving credit facility | | | (9,077 | ) |
Incremental interest expense for amortization of expected financing costs | | | (1,563 | ) |
Net transaction accounting adjustments to interest expense | | $ | (10,640 | ) |
A 0.125% change in the variable interest rate of Diversified’s revolving credit facility or a $10 million change in the amount financed would increase or decrease interest expense presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 by $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
(c) | Represents a decrease in accretion expense attributable to asset retirement obligations of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to a downward adjustment in the asset retirement obligation based on its fair value under IFRS. |
(d) | Represents the estimated income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments from the Maverick Transaction at the estimated blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Because the tax rates used for these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are an estimate, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the Maverick Transaction. |
(e) | The table below represents the calculation of the weighted average shares outstanding and earnings per share included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As the Maverick Transaction is being reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share assumes that the shares issuable related to the Maverick Transaction have been outstanding for the entire period. |

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2023 reflects the adjustments listed below. These adjustments are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined Company, unless stated otherwise.
(a) | Represents the incremental depreciation, depletion and amortization expense related to the assets to be acquired in the Maverick Transaction, which is based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Depletion was calculated using the unit-of-production method under the successful efforts method of accounting. The depletion expense was adjusted for the revision to the depletion rate reflecting the acquisition costs and the reserves volumes attributable to the acquired oil and gas properties. The pro forma depletion rate attributable to the Maverick Transaction was $4.71 per barrel of oil equivalent. |
(b) | Represents $33.8 million of estimated transaction costs and $16.2 million of estimated severance and change in control costs payable to certain Maverick officers who are expected to be terminated as a result of the Maverick transaction, which are expected to be incurred by Diversified upon closing the Maverick Transaction. These costs are preliminary estimates; the final amounts and the resulting effect on Diversified’s results of operations may differ significantly. These costs are nonrecurring and will not affect Diversified’s statement of operations beyond 12 months after the closing of the Maverick Transaction. |
(c) | Represents a decrease in accretion expense attributable to asset retirement obligations of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 due to a downward adjustment in the asset retirement obligation based on its fair value under IFRS. |
(d) | Represents the net increase to interest expense resulting from the (i) incremental interest expense for borrowings on Diversified’s expanded credit facility to finance the closing of the Maverick Transaction and (ii) incremental interest expense for the amortization of estimated financing costs related to the amendment to be entered into by Diversified on the closing date of the Maverick Transaction to increase the borrowing base capacity and commitment amounts on Diversified’s revolving credit facility as follows: |
| | Year Ended | |
(In thousands) | | December 31, 2023 | |
Incremental interest expense for borrowings on Diversified's expanded revolving credit facility | | | (17,622 | ) |
Incremental interest expense for amortization of expected financing costs | | | (3,125 | ) |
Net transaction accounting adjustments to interest expense | | $ | (20,747 | ) |
A 0.125% change in the variable interest rate of Diversified’s revolving credit facility or a $10 million change in the amount financed would increase or decrease interest expense presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 by $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
(e) | Represents the estimated income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments from the Maverick Transaction at the estimated blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 24% for the year ended December 31, 2023. Because the tax rates used for these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are an estimate, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the Maverick Transaction. |

Note 5 - Supplemental Oil & 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, 2023, along with a summary of changes in quantities of net remaining proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2023. 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. The Company’s petroleum engineers prepared the proved reserves reports as of December 31, 2023.
In addition, the following tables also set forth information as of December 31, 2023 about the estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Maverick and Oaktree transactions, and the pro forma estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves as if the Maverick and Oaktree transactions had occurred on January 1, 2023. The reserve estimates attributable to the Maverick and Oaktree transactions at December 31, 2023 and the summary of changes in quantities of net remaining proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2023 presented in the table below were prepared in accordance with the authoritative guidance of 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.
