On December 13, 2016, Callon Petroleum Company (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters listed in Schedule 1 thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), providing for the offer and sale in a firm commitment offering of 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $16.40 per share of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 6,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the same price. The offer and sale of the Common Stock is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an effective automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-210612), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2016. The Company expects the transaction to close on or about December 19, 2016.

In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
