(3) (Continued from footnote 2): Therefore, each EnCap Partners GP, EnCap Partners, EnCap Holdings, Investments GP, Investments LP, Fund VII GP, Fund VIII GP, Fund IX GP, Fund XI LLC or Fund XI GP may be deemed to beneficially own or to have beneficially owned the reported securities that are or were held of record by any reporting persons under its direct or indirect control. Each reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that such reporting person is a beneficial owner of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
(4) On April 14, 2022, 4,611,808 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Class A Common Stock") of Earthstone Energy, Inc.
