(1) 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.
(2) Cash received for settlements of contingent consideration arrangements are classified as cash flows from financing activities up to the divestiture date fair value with any excess classified as cash flows from operating activities. Therefore, if the commodity price threshold is reached, $8.5 million of the next contingent receipt will be presented in cash flows from financing activities with the remainder, as well as all subsequent contingent receipts, presented in cash flows from operating activities.
(3) The specified pricing threshold for 2019 was not met. As such, approximately $41.7 million remains for potential settlements in future years.

(1) The price used to determine whether the specified threshold for each year has been met is the average daily closing spot price per barrel of WTI crude oil as measured by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“U.S. EIA”).
(2) Cash paid for settlements related to 2019 are classified as cash flows used in investing activities as the cash payment was made soon after the acquisition date. Due to the extended time frame over which the 2020 and 2021 contingent arrangements could settle, any future payments would be considered financing arrangements. As such, cash settlements of those contingent consideration arrangements would be classified as cash flows from financing activities up to the acquisition date fair value with any excess classified as cash flows from operating activities. Therefore, if the commodity price threshold were reached, $19.2 million of the final contingent payment would be presented in cash flows used in financing activities with the remainder presented in operating cash flows.
(3) In January 2020, the Company paid $50.0 million as the specified pricing threshold was met. Only $25.0 million remains for potential settlements in future years.
