Civitas Resources Aktie

The compensation committee of Civitas Resources approved the ninth amended executive severance plan, which is set to take effect immediately prior to the closing of the planned merger with SM Energy. Key changes include extending the change-in-control protection period to 30 months for levels 1–4, one-time COBRA payments 60 days after the termination date, and cash severance for levels 1–3 calculated as a multiple of base salary plus a notional target bonus equal to 100% of base salary. The amended plan will only take effect if the merger closes and is based on a filing with the U.S. securities regulator. The company also reported strong adjusted Q3 earnings, announced $1 billion of divestitures, and triggered analyst reactions, including a downgrade from Piper Sandler. » Más en de.investing.com
