The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Coterra (the “ Merger”), with Coterra surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The closing of the Merger is subject to, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“ HSR Act”).
