EXPLANATORY NOTE
Apache Corporation (the “Company”), is filing these post-effective amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”) to the registration statements on Form S-8 listed below (collectively, the “Registration Statements”), which have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to deregister any and all shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.625 per share (“Common Stock”), and any plan interests registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under each such Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
On March 1, 2021, the Company completed a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”), whereby the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of APA Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“APA”). The Reorganization was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 1, 2021 (the “Plan of Merger”), among the Company, APA, and APA Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of APA (“Merger Sub”). In accordance with the Plan of Merger, the Reorganization was implemented pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law by the merger of Merger Sub with the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of APA (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock was automatically converted in the Merger into one share of APA’s common stock, par value $0.625 per share, evidencing the same proportional interests in APA and having the same designation, rights, powers, and preferences, and qualifications, limitations, and restrictions as a share of the Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger. APA is deemed to be the successor issuer of the Company under Rule 12g-3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
