WildHorse Resource Development Corporation Announces Launch of
$200 Million Offering of Additional 6.875% Senior Notes due 2025
HOUSTON, April 18, 2018 — WildHorse Resource Development Corporation (NYSE: WRD) announced today that, subject to market conditions, it intends to offer $200 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2025. The additional senior notes are expected to rank equally with, and be treated under the Indenture as a single class of debt securities with, the $500 million aggregate principal amount of the currently outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2025 previously issued by WRD on February 1, 2017 and September 19, 2017, but until the additional senior notes are exchanged for registered notes, the additional senior notes will trade under a different CUSIP number.
WRD intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed offering to repay the borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
The securities to be offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The notes are expected to be eligible for trading by qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S.
This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act, and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “will,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “could,” “expects” and similar references to future periods. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond WRD’s control. All statements, other than historical facts included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that WRD expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. Although WRD believes that the plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied or forecast in such statements.
WRD cautions you that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond WRD’s control, incident to the exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of natural gas and oil. These risks include, but are not limited to: commodity price volatility; inflation; lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services; environmental risks; drilling and other operating risks; regulatory changes; the uncertainty inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital; and the timing of development expenditures. Information concerning these and other factors can be found in WRD’s filings with the SEC, including its Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurances that the actual results or developments anticipated by WRD will be realized, or even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on WRD, its business or operations. WRD has no intention, and disclaims any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future results or otherwise.

WILDHORSE RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
WildHorse Resource Development Corporation is a publicly traded Delaware corporation, the common shares of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “WRD.” Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “WRD,” or “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of WildHorse Resource Development Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition, exploitation, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGL resources.
Significant Consummated Eagle Ford Acquisition
On May 10, 2017, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, WHR Eagle Ford LLC (“WHR EF”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “First Acquisition Agreement”) by and among WHR EF, as purchaser, and Anadarko E&P Onshore LLC (“APC”), Admiral A Holding L.P., TE Admiral A Holding L.P. and Aurora C-I Holding L.P. (collectively, “KKR” and, together with APC, the “First Sellers”), as sellers, to acquire certain acreage and associated production in Burleson, Brazos, Lee, Milam, Robertson, and Washington Counties, Texas (the “Purchase”). Also on May 10, 2017, WHR EF entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (together, with the First Acquisition Agreement, the “Acquisition Agreements”), by and among WHR EF, as purchaser, and APC and Anadarko Energy Services Company (together, with APC, the “APC Subs” and together, with the First Sellers, the “Sellers”), as sellers, to acquire certain acreage and associated production in Burleson, Brazos, Lee, Milam, Robertson, and Washington Counties, Texas (together, with the Purchase, the “Acquisition”).
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreements, on June 30, 2017, we acquired oil and gas working interests covering approximately 111,000 aggregate net acres and the associated production therefrom. The aggregate purchase price for the assets, as described in the Acquisition Agreements, subject to customary adjustments as provided in the Acquisition Agreements, consisted of an aggregate of approximately $533.6 million of cash to the APC Subs and approximately 5.5 million shares of our common stock valued at approximately $60.8 million to KKR (in the aggregate, the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). The common stock consideration price payable to KKR was issued pursuant to a Stock Issuance Agreement that was executed, on May 10, 2017 (the “Stock Issuance Agreement”), by and among us and KKR. We and KKR made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Stock Issuance Agreement. The closing of the common stock issuance was conditioned upon and occurred simultaneous with the closing of the Acquisition. WHR EF and the Sellers made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Acquisition Agreements. The Sellers made certain additional customary covenants, including, among others, covenants to conduct its business in the ordinary course between the execution of the Acquisition Agreements and the closing of the Acquisition and not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during that period, subject to certain exceptions. The Sellers agreed not to take certain specified actions without our consent during the time between execution of the Acquisition Agreements and the closing of the Acquisition.
An affiliate of The Carlyle Group, L.P. (“Carlyle”) agreed to purchase $435 million of Preferred Stock from WRD, which proceeds were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Acquisition. The remainder of the cash consideration for the Acquisition was funded by borrowings under WRD’s revolving credit facility.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 gives effect to both the Acquisition and borrowings under WRD’s revolving credit facility to partially fund the Acquisition as if they both occurred on January 1, 2017.
Significant Divestiture of North Louisiana Assets
On March 29, 2018, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, WildHorse Resources II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, completed the sale of certain producing and non-producing oil and natural gas properties (including the Oakfield gathering system) in Harrison, Milam, Panola, Robertson, and San Augustine Counties, Texas and Bienville, Bossier, Cado, Claiborne, De Soto, Jackson, Lincoln, Ouachita, Red River, Sabine, and Webster Parishes, Louisiana for a total net sales price of approximately $206.4 million (the “NLA Divestiture”), including $21.7 million previously received as a deposit and customary preliminary purchase price adjustments of $10.6 million primarily related to the net cash flows from the effective date to the closing date. The Company used the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. This disposition does not qualify as a discontinued operation.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 gives effect to both the NLA Divestiture and the use of the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility as if they both occurred on January 1, 2017.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of the Company are based on (i) the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017, as included on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2018; (ii) the unaudited historical statement of revenues and direct operating expenses of the APC Acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as included as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 7, 2017; (iii) the unaudited historical statement of revenues and direct operating expenses of the KKR Acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as included as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 7, 2017; and (vi) certain pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma statement of operations below.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been had the Acquisition, NLA Divestiture, or related financing transactions actually occurred on the date indicated above, nor are they indicative of future results of operations.
The pro forma data presented reflects events directly attributable to the above described transactions and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, the actual adjustments may differ from the pro forma adjustments. However, management believes that the pro forma assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and with the audited historical financial statements and related notes of the Company filed with the SEC, as well as the other unaudited historical statements of revenues and direct operating expenses filed with the SEC.

Note 1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
Significant Consummated Eagle Ford Acquisition
On May 10, 2017, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, WHR Eagle Ford LLC (“WHR EF”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “First Acquisition Agreement”) by and among WHR EF, as purchaser, and Anadarko E&P Onshore LLC (“APC”), Admiral A Holding L.P., TE Admiral A Holding L.P. and Aurora C-I Holding L.P. (collectively, “KKR” and, together with APC, the “First Sellers”), as sellers, to acquire certain acreage and associated production in Burleson, Brazos, Lee, Milam, Robertson, and Washington Counties, Texas (the “Purchase”). Also on May 10, 2017, WHR EF entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (together, with the First Acquisition Agreement, the “Acquisition Agreements”), by and among WHR EF, as purchaser, and APC and Anadarko Energy Services Company (together, with APC, the “APC Subs” and together, with the First Sellers, the “Sellers”), as sellers, to acquire certain acreage and associated production in Burleson, Brazos, Lee, Milam, Robertson, and Washington Counties, Texas (together, with the Purchase, the “Acquisition”).
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreements, on June 30, 2017, we acquired oil and gas working interests covering approximately 111,000 aggregate net acres and the associated production therefrom. The aggregate purchase price for the assets, as described in the Acquisition Agreements, subject to customary adjustments as provided in the Acquisition Agreements, consisted of an aggregate of approximately $533.6 million of cash to the APC Subs and approximately 5.5 million shares of our common stock valued at approximately $60.8 million to KKR (in the aggregate, the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). The common stock consideration price payable to KKR was issued pursuant to a Stock Issuance Agreement that was executed, on May 10, 2017 (the “Stock Issuance Agreement”), by and among us and KKR. We and KKR made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Stock Issuance Agreement. The closing of the common stock issuance was conditioned upon and occurred simultaneous with the closing of the Acquisition. WHR EF and the Sellers made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Acquisition Agreements. The Sellers made certain additional customary covenants, including, among others, covenants to conduct its business in the ordinary course between the execution of the Acquisition Agreements and the closing of the Acquisition and not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during that period, subject to certain exceptions. The Sellers agreed not to take certain specified actions without our consent during the time between execution of the Acquisition Agreements and the closing of the Acquisition.
An affiliate of The Carlyle Group, L.P. (“Carlyle”) agreed to purchase $435 million of Preferred Stock from WRD, which proceeds were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Acquisition. The remainder of the cash consideration for the Acquisition was funded by borrowings under WRD’s revolving credit facility.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 gives effect to both the Acquisition and borrowings under WRD’s revolving credit facility to partially fund the Acquisition as if they both occurred on January 1, 2017.

On March 29, 2018, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, WildHorse Resources II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, completed the sale of certain producing and non-producing oil and natural gas properties (including the Oakfield gathering system) in Harrison, Milam, Panola, Robertson, and San Augustine Counties, Texas and Bienville, Bossier, Cado, Claiborne, De Soto, Jackson, Lincoln, Ouachita, Red River, Sabine, and Webster Parishes, Louisiana for a total net sales price of approximately $206.4 million (the “NLA Divestiture”), including $21.7 million previously received as a deposit and customary preliminary purchase price adjustments of $10.6 million primarily related to the net cash flows from the effective date to the closing date. The Company used the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. This disposition does not qualify as a discontinued operation.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 gives effect to both the NLA Divestiture and the use of the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility as if they both occurred on January 1, 2017.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been had the Acquisition, NLA Divestiture or related financing transactions actually occurred on the date indicated above, nor are they indicative of future results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
The pro forma data presented reflects events directly attributable to the above described transactions and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, the actual adjustments may differ from the pro forma adjustments. However, management believes that the pro forma assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions and that the pro forma adjustments that are described in Note 2 below give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and with the audited historical financial statements and related notes of the Company filed with the SEC, as well as the other unaudited historical statements of revenues and direct operating expenses filed with the SEC.
Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions
The following pro forma adjustments have been applied to the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements to depict the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as if the Acquisition, NLA Divestiture and related financing transactions had occurred on January 1, 2017. No further pro forma balance sheet information is required, since the Acquisition is fully reflected in the Company’s historical balance sheet and the pro forma balance sheet related to the NLA Divestiture was previously filed with the SEC within four business days of the completion of the transaction. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions that management believes to be appropriate in the circumstances.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations
The following adjustments were made in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2017:
a. Pro forma adjustment to reflect operating revenues and other income, lease operating expenses, and gathering, processing and transportation expenses not reflected in the historical financial statements. Also includes an adjustment to reclassify gathering, processing and transportation from lease operating expenses to conform to our presentation.
b. Pro forma adjustment to reflect production and other taxes that are not reflected in the historical financial statements.
c. Pro forma adjustment to reflect the depletion and depreciation on property, plant and equipment and the accretion expense on asset retirement obligations.
d. Pro forma adjustment to reflect incremental interest expense not reflected in the historical financial statements on $101.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility used to partially fund the Acquisition. Pro forma interest expense was based on a weighted-average interest rate of 3.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Pro forma adjustment to reflect the elimination of interest expense on $206.4 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility repaid with the NLA Divesture net proceeds. Pro forma interest expense was based on a weighted-average interest rate of 3.60% for the year ended December 31, 2017.
