The Company is hereby filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend Item 9.01 of the Original Report to provide the information described below. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment does not amend, modify or update any other information in the Original Report. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Report, which provides a more complete description of the Transaction.
In the Original Report, the Company stated that it would file the historical financial statements required by Item 9.01(a) of Form 8-K and the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K relating to the Transaction (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) by amendment to the Original Report no later than 71 days from the date on which the Original Report was required to be filed. The Company has since obtained relief from the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”), pursuant to the Staff’s authority under Rule 3-13 of Regulation S-X, from the requirements of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X and of Article 11 of Regulation S-X to provide such Financial Statements. As a result, the Company will not file the Financial Statements previously referenced in the Original Report and hereby amends the Original Report to eliminate references to any subsequent filing of such Financial Statements.

Exhibit 99.1
Unaudited Oil & Gas Reserve Information
Sheridan Holding Company III (“Sheridan”) Asset Acquisition
On April 30, 2026, Diversified Energy Company (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired certain oil and natural gas wells, leasehold interests and related assets located in certain counties in east Texas, including Cherokee, Harrison, Nacogdoches, Panola, and Rusk Counties (the “Sheridan Transaction”) from Sheridan. Given the concentration of assets, this transaction was considered an asset acquisition rather than a business combination. The Company paid cash consideration of approximately $236 million, inclusive of customary purchase price adjustments.
Estimated Quantities of Proved Oil and Natural Gas Reserves
The following tables present information regarding net proved oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Company's interests in the acquired Sheridan proved properties as of December 31, 2025, along with a summary of changes in quantities of net remaining proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2025. The information set forth in the tables regarding historical reserves of Sheridan is based on reserves reports prepared by Sheridan’s petroleum engineers as of December 31, 2025 in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules.
The reserve estimates attributable to Sheridan at December 31, 2025 and the summary of changes in quantities of net remaining proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2025 presented in the table below were prepared in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the SEC on oil and natural gas reserve estimation and disclosures.
Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and are generally based upon extrapolation of historical production trends, analogy to similar properties and volumetric calculations. Accordingly, reserve estimates are expected to change, and such changes could be material and occur in the near term as future information becomes available.
