Crescent Energy Company (NYSE: CRGY) today announced that an affiliate of KKR has notified the Company that it intends to convert and distribute approximately 27.9 million Class A shares to certain of its legacy investors, who are primarily large institutions (the “Class A Conversion”). Following the Class A Conversion, the amount of stock held by non-affiliated public holders will increase from 29% to 46% through the conversion of private Class B shares / OpCo Units into publicly traded Class A shares. Such Class A shares will be subject to customary legal trading restrictions associated with restricted stock. KKR retains its existing 16% ownership, which is held by an indirect subsidiary of KKR & Co. Inc. for its own account and not through its investment funds. KKR remains a long-term investor and has reiterated that it has no present intention of selling its shares in the Company. The conversion is expected to be effective in July 2023.
