Definitive Proxy Statement, Record and Meeting Date

Falcon has commenced the mailing of the Proxy Statement, dated May 5, 2022, relating to the previously announced merger with Desert Peak. The special meeting of the stockholders of Falcon will be held on June 3, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. The meeting will be held via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FLMN2022SM.

Bryan C. Gunderson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Falcon, said: “We are excited to cross another milestone in this transaction process, and we look forward to completing the transaction during the second quarter as previously announced.”

Sitio Royalties

Christopher Conoscenti, current Chief Executive Officer of Desert Peak and future Chief Executive Officer of the combined company, said: “We are excited to announce our prospective new name of Sitio Royalties. In Spanish, Sitio means a site or a place, and historically it was a measure of a large parcel of land in Spanish Texas. The name recognizes the unique cultural heritage of West Texas, the focus area of our business. Rooted in the past but looking to the future, we will, as a combined platform, continue to consolidate the highly fragmented ownership of minerals and royalties.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release includes certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “seeks,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “prospects,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “should,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about Falcon’s and Desert Peak’s ability to effect the previously announced and pending merger between Falcon and Desert Peak (the “Merger”); the expected benefits and timing of the Merger; future dividends; and future plans, expectations, and objectives for the combined company’s operations after completion of the Merger, including statements about strategy, synergies, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, projected production, projected costs, prospects, plans, and objectives of management.
