Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc.

Email to All Employees

SUBJECT: Bonanza Creek Announcement: Transformational acquisition of HPR by BCEI

We’re pleased to announce Bonanza Creek’s acquisition of HighPoint Resources.

This transformational transaction is accretive to BCEI value and free cash flow, and will help accelerate our transition to a new business model – one that is focused on returning capital to our shareholders, while maintaining our peer-leading balance sheet.

The combination of Bonanza Creek and HighPoint is about scale, synergies, margins, and cash flow.

The transaction:

… while retaining 68% of the equity in the combined company for our shareholders and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

As we work to close this transaction, you can expect to hear more about how our business model will be focused on an industry-leading cost structure, returning capital to shareholders, and, when warranted by sufficiently high returns, pursuing modest production growth.

We will maintain a very strong balance sheet and to use it, along with our strong technical and operating capabilities, to continue to grow our business in an opportunistic and disciplined manner.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication, this transaction would not be possible without you.

Please review the press release, presentation, and conference call for additional information.

This afternoon we will host a virtual town hall, and we’ll be pleased to discuss any questions or concerns.

Best, Eric

Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “intend,” “estimate,” “probable,” “project,” “forecasts,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “potential,” “may,” “might,” “anticipate,” “likely” “plan,” “positioned,” “strategy,” and similar expressions or other words of similar meaning, and the negatives thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Specific forward-looking statements include statements regarding BCEI and HPR’s plans and expectations with respect to the Transaction and the anticipated impact of the Transaction on the combined company’s results of operations, financial position, growth opportunities and competitive position. The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including, but not limited to, the possibility that shareholders of BCEI may not approve the issuance of new shares of BCEI common stock in the Transactions or that shareholders of HPR may not approve the Merger Agreement; the risk that a condition to closing of the Transaction may not be satisfied, that either party may terminate the Merger Agreement or that the closing of the Transaction might be delayed or not occur at all; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; the ultimate timing, outcome and results of integrating the operations of BCEI and HPR; the effects of the business combination of BCEI and HPR, including the combined company’s future financial condition, results of operations, strategy and plans; the ability of the combined company to realize anticipated synergies in the timeframe expected or at all; changes in capital markets and the ability of the combined company to finance operations in the manner expected; regulatory approval of the transaction; the effects of commodity prices; the risks of oil and gas activities; the risk that the requisite amount of HPR debt does not participate in the Exchange Offer and that HPR may need to reorganize in bankruptcy as a result; the risks and unpredictability inherent in the bankruptcy process; and the fact that operating costs and business disruption may be greater than expected following the public announcement or consummation of the Transaction. Expectations regarding business outlook, including changes in revenue, pricing, capital expenditures, cash flow generation, strategies for our operations, oil and natural gas market conditions, legal, economic and regulatory conditions, and environmental matters are only forecasts regarding these matters.

Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in BCEI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in its subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which is on file with the SEC and available from BCEI’s website at www.bonanzacrk.com under the “For Investors” tab, and in other documents BCEI files with the SEC, and in HPR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in its subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, each of which is on file with the SEC and available from HPR’s website at www.hpres.com under the “Investors” tab, and in other documents HPR files with the SEC.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. Neither BCEI nor HPR assumes any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements.
