Controller & ownership

DE FACTO CONTROLLERStrategic Pe Defacto Controller Via Voting Agreement

Grey Rock Energy Management (Fund III + GREP GP II; Stockholder Voting Agreement Parties) holds approximately 50.0% of voting power. Effective controller under Delaware/common-law definition though not strict listing-rule (>50%) controlled.

Source: Grey Rock's Fund III holds 65,853,671 shares (49.9%); the Voting Agreement Parties (GREP GP II + Messrs. Miller, Perry, Darden, Lazarine) collectively hold ~49.8% of total outstanding and 50.0% of shares entitled to vote under a Stockholder Voting Agreement dated August 25, 2023. The Company treated Grey Rock as a controller: the reincorporation was approved by an independent Special Committee (Everard, McCartney, Coussens) with Grey Rock recused, using DGCL Sec. 144 controller-cleansing (Young Conaway as Delaware Special-Committee counsel; Vinson & Elkins as Texas counsel). Effective/de facto control via the ~50% voting-agreement bloc - not a strict >50% listing-rule controller, and no controlled-company exemption is claimed.

Cohort-level robustness battery

Heckman selection-corrected ATE · Romano-Wolf step-down + BH FDR · pooled BHAR. This firm's reading is shown in context of the full cohort.

Heckman two-step selection correction (controlled-vs-widely-held)

Cohort ATE = +0.94% (SE = 7.06%, n = 2395) after correcting for controller-status selection (inverse Mills ratio = -0.062).

Romano-Wolf step-down + Benjamini-Hochberg FDR (n = 47)

This firm: per-firm adjusted p-values pending. Multiple-hypothesis correction is computed across the full cohort to control family-wise error rate at alpha = 0.05.

Pooled cohort BHAR (mover firms only)

BHAR_63d: mean = -5.60% (SE = 22.11%, n = 3, p = 0.499) · BHAR_126d: mean = +17.33% (SE = 41.17%, n = 3, p = 0.774)

[2026-06-11] Added per Shane. Granite Ridge Resources (NYSE:GRNT, CIK 0001928446), DE corp, PRE 14A filed 2026-06-04 (acc 0001928446-26-000031) -> special meeting to approve DE->TX reincorporation by conversion (DGCL Sec. 266 / TBOC Sec. 10.102; 1:1 share conversion; NYSE ticker unchanged). PRELIMINARY proxy -> meeting/record/effective dates all bracketed; status SCHEDULED, no vote yet. Approval = majority of OUTSTANDING shares entitled to vote; abstentions = against. Controller: Grey Rock — Fund III 49.9% (65,853,671 of [131,895,990]); Voting Agreement Parties (GREP GP II + Miller/Perry/Darden/Lazarine, agreement dtd 2023-08-25) ~49.8% total outstanding / 50.0% of shares entitled to vote. NOT >50% + no controlled-company exemption -> FOUNDER_INFLUENCED (near-control), NOT CONTROLLED. Independent Special Committee (Everard/McCartney/Coussens), Grey Rock recused, DGCL Sec. 144 cleansing; Young Conaway (DE) + V&E (TX). CORRECTION: a pasted 'hostile red-team' review hallucinated CIK 0001925348 + acc 0001925348-26-000021 — BOTH WRONG; verified CIK 0001928446 / acc 0001928446-26-000031.
