The Crescent merger closed on 2025-12-15. Each Vital share was converted into the right to receive 1.9062 Crescent Class A shares (cash for fractional shares), and the old Vital shares were cancelled. Vital's credit facility (Wells Fargo agent) was repaid in full, its commitments ended and liens were released. Vital was merged into a Crescent subsidiary, and this filing is made by Crescent Energy Finance LLC as successor. Vital's 2029 and 2030 notes had covenant-stripping amendments signed on 2025-12-12 that only take effect when Crescent's note exchange offers settle. This resolves the merger, the credit facility and the share-conversion threads.

Vital shareholders approved the Crescent merger at the 2025-12-12 special meeting, with 26,111,925 votes for, 242,604 against and 265,150 abstaining (out of 38,689,952 shares outstanding on the record date). This resolves the open vote thread. Shareholders rejected the non-binding advisory vote on executive merger pay (11,824,680 for, 14,659,405 against), which is advisory only. Vital expects closing on 2025-12-15, subject to remaining closing conditions.

On 2025-12-05 Vital disclosed that two shareholders (Andrew Thompson and Nathan Smith) filed New York suits claiming the merger proxy omitted material information, seeking to block the merger plus damages, and that it had also received similar demand letters. Vital says the claims are without merit but added disclosures to the proxy anyway, including confidentiality and standstill details for the bidders in the sale process (Companies A, F, G, I and Crescent) and lists of companies and deals used in Houlihan Lokey's analyses. The filing states that, as a result of the mergers, Vital will cease to be a publicly traded company; it does not change the deal terms.

On 2025-11-12 Vital filed its definitive proxy statement for a virtual special meeting on 2025-12-12 (record date 2025-10-22) to vote on adopting the Crescent merger agreement. The per-share consideration was worth about $18.95 at signing (based on the 2025-08-22 Crescent close) and about $17.08 on 2025-11-10, since it is paid in Crescent shares. The Vital board unanimously recommends a vote in favour, and holders of about 20% of Vital shares are required to vote with the board recommendation under the Henry investor agreement.
