The business combination was approved by EQV's shareholders on February 27, 2026 and included $350 million in preferred and common equity gross proceeds, from investors such as JPMorgan Investment Management, Morgan Stanley Energy Partners, and a large integrated energy company. In connection with the completion of the business combination, EQV has been renamed Presidio Production Company, and its securities will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on March 5, 2026 under the symbol “FTW”.

Company’s Differentiated Strategy

The Transaction creates a new public company that applies a contrarian strategy to acquire and optimize producing oil and gas assets without drilling, and expects to transfer cash flow to shareholders via dividends. Presidio intends to optimize these acquisitions and drive equity returns through the application of technology, including automation, real-time data analytics and the introduction of AI processes, and the use of attractively priced structured debt facilities such as the recently announced $1 billionGoldman Sachs ABS Warehouse facility (“Goldman Sachs Facility”).

Acquisition Update

In conjunction with the closing of the Transaction, Presidio completed its first acquisition of producing assets, the overlapping assets of EQV Resources, described in the Company’s S-4 registration statement. In its first day of operations of these assets, Presidio estimates it has reduced operating costs by approximately 50%.

Following this first acquisition, Presidio is focused on converting its previously announced $80 million Arkoma acquisition Letter of Intent (the “Arkoma Acquisition”) into definitive documentation. The Company intends to fund the acquisition with cash on hand, Presidio equity to the seller, and the Goldman Sachs Facility. Beyond these transactions, Presidio also expects to convert its opportunity backlog into additional acquisitions.

Dividend Policy

Presidio expects to initiate a dividend of $1.35 per share per annum, to be approved and paid quarterly. Following the Company’s anticipated closing of the Arkoma Acquisition, the Company believes it will be able to increase its anticipated annual dividend to $1.50 per share. Presidio expects to provide formal dividend timing details promptly following approval by its Board of Directors.

Capital Structure

The Company’s Capital Structure includes the following:

• $324 million equity market capitalization (29.3 million shares of common stock)ⁱⁱⁱ
• $125 million of 8.0% cash pay, 4% PIK Preferred Equity
• $37 million of RBL debt with a $65 million borrowing base, provided by Citizens Bank N.A.
• $264.1 million of Investment Grade ABS Debt

Management Commentary

Will Ulrich, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Presidio, commented, “Presidio’s debut in the public market represents a continuation of a strategy that has defined our success from day one: disciplined operations, rigorous capital allocation, and a commitment to technically driven optimization of high‑quality, producing assets.

That is just the beginning as we will aggressively pursue additional acquisition and optimization opportunities to enhance returns and increase potential dividends for our shareholders.”

Chris Hammack, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Presidio, added, “Becoming a public company positions us to scale our proven operational approach with access to growth capital and new partners. We systematically reduce operating costs, optimize field operations through technology, and apply capital with strict discipline.

Jerry Silvey, Founder and CEO of EQV, commented, “The Presidio team’s proven track record of acquiring and optimizing producing oil and gas assets represents an ideal opportunity to deliver value to shareholders through a disciplined, cash flow-focused business model.
