| Item 2.01. | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Continental Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 5, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”) with Parsley Energy, LLC (“Parsley Energy”), Parsley Energy, L.P. (“Parsley LP”), Parsley Minerals, LLC (“Parsley Minerals”), and Parsley Energy Operations, LLC (together with Parsley Energy, Parsley LP and Parsley Minerals, the “Sellers”), and solely for the limited purposes set forth in the Agreement, Pioneer Natural Resources Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase: (a) 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Jagged Peak Energy LLC, which in turn owns 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Parsley SoDe Water LLC; and (b) certain oil and gas assets and properties in the Permian Basin (collectively, the “Acquisition”).
The Acquisition closed on December 21, 2021. The purchase price paid to the Sellers at the closing of the Acquisition was approximately $2.74 billion in cash, which reflects adjustments made pursuant to the Agreement and the application of a $325 million deposit made by the Company at signing. The Company funded the purchase price and related transaction costs with respect to the Acquisition through cash on hand, utilization of credit facility borrowing capacity, and the issuance of senior notes.
The material terms of the Agreement previously disclosed in Item 1.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 5, 2021 are incorporated by reference.
