Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2021 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Civitas Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2.Identity and Background

 

Schedule I to the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety with Schedule I attached hereto.

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following information:

 

On January 27, 2023, CPPIB Crestone Peak Resources Canada Inc. (“CP Canada”) sold 4,918,032 shares of Common Stock at a price of $61.00 per share (the “Repurchase”) to the Issuer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2023, by and between the Issuer and CP Canada (the “Share Purchase Agreement”).

 

The foregoing description of the Share Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) – (b)

 

The following sets forth, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, as of the date hereof (the ownership percentages set forth below are calculated based on (i) the 85,110,799 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 28, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2022, less (ii) the 4,918,032 shares of Common Stock repurchased pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, which is equal to 80,192,767 shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Repurchase):

CP Canada directly owns 16,480,721 shares of Common Stock and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”) is an indirect beneficial owner of such Common Stock owned by CP Canada. CP Canada and CPPIB have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with respect to such 16,480,721 shares.

 

CPPIB previously beneficially owned 24,166 shares of Common Stock through CPPIB MAP Cayman SPC (“MAP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPPIB, which were acquired on behalf of MAP as a result of investment activities by an investment manager unaffiliated with CPPIB who has discretionary authority in respect of such investment activities. The investment activities of such unaffiliated investment manager on behalf of MAP were previously subject to an investment management agreement where CPPIB could have potentially acquired control over such shares within a period of 60 days or less in connection with a termination of such agreement, and accordingly, CPPIB may be deemed to have had beneficial ownership of such 24,166 shares of Common Stock. However, such investment management agreement has been amended such that CPPIB no longer has the right to acquire control over such shares within a period of 60 days or less. Accordingly, CPPIB does not have voting or investment control over such shares and therefore disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares held by MAP.

 

(c)            Except as described in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, during the past 60 days, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions with respect to the Common Stock.

 

(d)            None.

 

(e)Not applicable.

 

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by inserting the following information:

 

Item 4 above summarizes certain provisions of the Share Purchase Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Share Purchase Agreement is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting of such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

 

Item 7.Materials to be Filed as Exhibits

 

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Exhibit   Description
3   Share Purchase Agreement, dated January 24, 2023, between Civitas Resources, Inc. and CPPIB Crestone Peak Resources Canada Inc. (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 24, 2023).
