The SM Energy merger closed on Jan 30, 2026 after both companies' stockholders approved it on Jan 27. Each Civitas share was converted into 1.45 SM Energy shares, Civitas ceased to exist, and all Civitas directors and officers left their Civitas roles. The Civitas credit facility with JPMorgan was fully repaid and terminated, Civitas stock stopped trading on the NYSE, and Civitas intends to file a Form 15 to end its SEC reporting. This resolves the pending merger thread; Civitas equity awards were assumed by SM Energy at the same 1.45 ratio.

20 Jan 2026business combination● Neutral
Civitas disclosed that two stockholder lawsuits (filed Jan 6 and Jan 8, 2026 in New York state court) and several demand letters claim the merger proxy statement left out information, and the lawsuits seek to block the merger or reverse it. Civitas denies more disclosure is needed but added some details anyway, including bid information from the 2025 sale process for its DJ assets and management financial projections for Civitas and SM Energy. It says the Jan 27, 2026 stockholder meetings stay on schedule, so this is a hurdle to the pending merger but not a change in its terms.

22 Dec 2025business combination● NeutralMajor
Civitas filed its final joint proxy statement/prospectus with SM Energy for the pending merger, first mailed around Dec 22, 2025. Each Civitas share would convert into 1.45 SM Energy shares (fixed ratio, not adjusted for price moves), leaving Civitas holders with about 52% of the combined company and SM Energy holders about 48%. Both companies hold virtual special meetings (SM Energy's is set for Jan 27, 2026); Civitas holders vote to adopt the merger agreement and on an advisory vote on executive merger pay, and the Civitas board recommends voting for both. Kimmeridge has agreed to vote in favor under a voting agreement. This moves the pending SM Energy deal toward the stockholder votes; the visible text does not show the Civitas meeting date or the vote result.

On Dec 18, 2025, Civitas received notice that the US antitrust waiting period for the pending SM Energy merger ended early, satisfying one of the closing conditions. The filing says SM Energy has now filed its Form S-4 registration statement, but it is not yet declared effective. Stockholder votes and other conditions still remain, so the merger is not complete.
