Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )Erich Bobinsky and Bevin Brown (the "Directors") are officers of Liberty Energy Holdings ("LEH") and serve on the Board of Directors of Crescent Energy Company (the "CRGY") as nominees of PT Independence Energy Holdings LLC (the "PT Reporting Person"). On April 1, 2024, CRGY granted to the Directors, in their capacities as directors of CRGY, an aggregate of 28,622 restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The Directors have agreed that they will not receive any separate compensation for serving as directors of CRGY and will transfer to LEH any director compensation they receive from CRGY, including any shares received in settlement of therestricted stock units. ( 2 )The shares of Crescent Energy Company (the "Issuer") Class A common stock ("Common Stock") reported are restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to the reporting person pursuant to the Crescent Energy Company 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock. The RSUs will vest on April 1, 2025, subject to the reporting person's continuous service through such date. ( 3 )Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the PT Reporting Person, LEH has the sole right to vote or dispose of the shares of Common Stock held by the PT Reporting Person. Therefore, LEH is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock. The sole member of LEH is Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty Mutual"), which is wholly owned by Liberty Mutual Group Inc. The sole shareholder of Liberty Mutual Group Inc. is LMHC Massachusetts Holdings Inc., whose sole shareholder is Liberty Mutual Holding Company Inc. Because Liberty Mutual Holding Company Inc. is a mutual holding company, its members are entitled to vote at meetings of the company. No such member is entitled to cast 5% or more of the votes. ( 4 )Each of PT Reporting Person, LEH, Liberty Mutual, Liberty Mutual Group Inc., LMHC Massachusetts Holdings Inc. and Liberty Mutual Holding Company Inc. (collectively, the "Record Holders") directly (whether through ownership or position) or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, may be deemed for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be the indirect beneficial owner of some or all of the equity interests referred to in note 2 owned by the Record Holders and, therefore, a "ten percent holder" hereunder. Each Record Holder disclaims beneficial ownership of such equity interests reported herein, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, and, with respect to each of the Record Holders, except to the extent of its respective direct ownership reported herein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Record Holders are the beneficial owners of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purposes.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
