The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presents the combination of the financial information of DCRD and Hammerhead adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions. Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Hammerhead’s reserves, producing properties and exploration prospects are located in the Province of Alberta in the Deep Basin of West Central Alberta where it is developing multi-zone, liquids-right oil and gas plays.
The historical financial information of DCRD was derived from the unaudited financial statements of DCRD for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the period from February 22, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021 included in the proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2022 assumes that the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on September 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of profit (loss) and comprehensive profit (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021.

DCRD Sponsor is also an affiliate of Riverstone. However, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the entities.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position and results of operations that would have been achieved had the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the post-combination company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
