Vital Energy has completed its previously announced stock-for-stock merger with Crescent Energy. Each share of Vital common stock was converted at closing into 1.9062 shares of Crescent Class A common stock, with cash paid for any fractional shares, and Vital became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Crescent.
Following the deal on December 15, 2025, trading in Vital’s VTLE shares on the NYSE was suspended, a Form 25 was filed to delist and deregister the stock, and Vital plans to file a Form 15 to end its SEC reporting obligations.
Vital’s 7.75% Senior Notes due 2029 and 9.750% Senior Notes due 2030 were amended on December 12, 2025 to remove most restrictive covenants, certain default triggers, and change-of-control repurchase rights in connection with Crescent’s exchange offers. All borrowings under Vital’s revolving credit facility were repaid and the facility terminated, and all Vital directors and key executive officers resigned in connection with the merger.
