(a)
The price used to determine whether the specified thresholds have been met is the average of the final monthly settlements for each month during each annual period end for NYMEX Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures, as reported by the CME Group Inc.
(b)
Contingent consideration to be received will be classified as cash flows from financing activities up to the initial recognition fair value of $8,512; amounts in excess of the initial recognition fair value will be classified as cash flows from operating activities.
(c)
In the event that the 2019 and 2020 prices exceed the $65/bbl threshold, the aggregate amount of contingent consideration is limited to $60,000, resulting in the potential reduction in settlement for 2021 to $18,334.
