About this update from Northern Oil And Gas, Inc.

HIGHLIGHTS MINNEAPOLIS, May 26, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NYSE: NOG) ("NOG") today announced that it has agreed to purchase an undivided 25% interest in the Light-Oil Duvernay Assets owned and operated by Parallax Energy Operating Inc. ("Parallax" or the "Seller"). MANAGEMENT COMMENTS "Quality oil inventory is becoming increasingly scarce, and NOG's scaled non-operated model positions us to access opportunities that most in our sector cannot. Our ability to structure creative, accretive transactions with best-in-class operators is what sets NOG apart. The Duvernay is one of North America's premier light oil resources — high-quality, low-cost, long-life inventory with meaningful upside that remains largely untapped.

The initial unadjusted purchase price will be funded with CA$113 million (~US$83.5) million of NOG common stock issued to the Seller at closing, with the remaining consideration sourced from cash on hand, operating free cash flow and borrowings under NOG’s revolving credit facility. In addition, NOG has agreed to additional contingent consideration of CA$25 million (~US$18.5 million), payable in cash or common stock (at NOG’s election) in the first quarter of 2028 if certain average oil prices are achieved through the end of 2027. The acquired Assets include over 500 gross high-quality, low breakeven locations. Substantially all the Assets are operated by Parallax, with NOG participating in development pursuant to a long-term Joint ...
