Chord Energy Corp

Our business faces many risks. Any of the risks discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our other SEC filings could have a material impact on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations.

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our 2023 Annual Report, except as described below.

The SEC’s Final Rules on The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures could result in increased compliance risks and costs.

The SEC released its final rule on climate-related disclosures on March 6, 2024, requiring the disclosure of certain climate-related risks, management and governance practices, and financial impacts, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Large accelerated filers will be required to incorporate the applicable climate-related disclosures into their filings beginning in fiscal year 2025, with additional requirements relating to the disclosure of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, if material, and attestation reports for certain large accelerated filers subsequently phasing in. Refer to “Item 1. Business—Regulation—Environmental and occupational health and safety regulation” in our 2023 Annual Report for prior discussion of the SEC’s then-proposed rule. While we are still assessing our obligations under the rule, complying with such obligations may result in increased costs and SEC or investor scrutiny of our disclosures. The SEC has paused implementation of the final rule pending the resolution of consolidated legal challenges that are currently proceeding before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The outcome of this litigation may reduce or expand our obligations under the final rule.
