Parsley Energy Prices Upsized Offering of Class A Common Stock

Parsley Energy, Inc. (NYSE: PE) (“Parsley Energy” or the “Company”) today announced that it has priced an underwritten, upsized public offering of 18,250,000 shares of Class A common stock for total gross proceeds (before underwriters’ fees and estimated expenses) of approximately $390.6 million. The 18,250,000 share offering represents a 2,250,000 share upsize to the originally proposed 16,000,000 share offering. The underwriters have an option for 30 days to purchase up to an additional 2,737,500 shares of Class A common stock from the Company.

Parsley Energy intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to fund the aggregate purchase price for the acquisitions of oil and gas interests in the Southern Delaware and Midland Basins (the “Acquisitions”) the Company announced today.

The offering is not conditioned on the consummation of the Acquisitions.
