Reliance Eagleford Upstream Holding LP, and Newpek, LLC (Asset) in the Eagle Ford shale play in the State of Texas, USA as of 1 January 2018.

Ryder Scott utilised proprietary data relating to existing production and lease operating costs from the current Asset wells to forecast a future production stream and associated cash flows based on the economic interest of the Company, NYMEX strip (varying) WTI pricing US$59.36 in 2018, decreasing to $51.67 by 2023 and held constant thereafter and lease operating expense estimates comprising a fixed and variable component based on historic operating expense reports.

Appendix III Reserve Estimate Assumptions
Underlying Assumptions for Reserve PV(10) estimates Unless otherwise noted, the PV(10) values provided in this presentation were based on Ryder Scotts evaluations effective 1 January 2018, and are subject to the following underlying assumptions: NYMEX Strip (Varying) Prices Oil Pricing: WTI pricing of $59.36 in 2018; $56.19 in 2019; $53.76 in 2020; $52.29 in 2021; $51.70 in 2022; $51.67 in 2023 and thereafter Gas Pricing: Henry Hub pricing $2.82 in 2018; $2.81 in 2019; $2.82 in 2020; $2.85 in 2021; $2.89 in 2022; $3.05 in 2023 and thereafter NGL Pricing: 31% to 54% of WTI from 2018 to 2023 and thereafter Costs Operating costs for the leases and wells in the Ryder Scott report were provided by Sundance and based on Sundances operating expense reports for the legacy properties or those of Pioneer for the acquisition properties. The operating costs include only those costs directly applicable to the leases or wells. The operating costs supplied by Sundance were reviewed by Ryder Scott for their reasonableness using information supplied by Sundance for this purpose. No deduction was made for loan repayments, interest expenses, or exploration and development prepayments that were not charged directly to the leases or wells. Development costs were supplied by Sundance based on authorisations for expenditure for the proposed work or actual costs for similar projects. The development costs supplied by Sundance were reviewed by Ryder Scott for their reasonableness using information supplied by Sundance for this purpose. The estimated cost of abandonment after salvage was supplied by Sundance and accepted without independent verification. Current costs used by Sundance were held constant throughout the life of the properties. Cost estimates for a pro-forma 1P PV(10) estimate of $706m include operating costs totalling $1,246.9m, Ad Valorem Taxes totalling $55.3m and development costs totalling $1,083.8m. Cost estimates for 1P PV(10) estimate of $290.3m for the Acquisition include operating costs totalling $703.1m, Ad Valorem Taxes totalling $28.5m and development costs totalling $541.0m. Note: Reserve estimates in this presentation vary from the reserve estimates included in the Companys Investor Presentation filed with the ASX on 15 March 2018. The primary reason for the variance is related to the underlying pricing assumptions used and disclosed in each presentation.

Disclaimers Proved and probable reserves Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (Ryder Scott) has prepared an independent estimate of the proved and probable reserves, future production and income attributable to leasehold interests within the recently closed acquisition of 21,900 net acres for sale by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. Reliance Eagleford Upstream Holding LP, and Newpek, LLC (Asset) in the Eagle Ford shale play in the State of Texas, USA as of 1 January 2018. The volumes classified as reserves in the Ryder Scott report have been assigned to both oil and gas reserves and represent 100% of the total net proved and probable liquid hydrocarbon and gas reserves of the Assets at the report date (including producing, non-producing and undeveloped). The reserves estimate were prepared in accordance with the classification and reporting requirements of the Petroleum Resources Management System (SPE-PRMS) as required by the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rule 5 - Additional Reporting on Mining and Oil & Gas Production and Exploration Activities. The reserves estimates were calculated using a deterministic methodology. Ryder Scott utilised proprietary data relating to existing production and lease operating costs from the current Asset wells to forecast a future production stream and associated cash flows based on the economic interest of the Company, NYMEX strip (varying) WTI pricing US$59.36 in 2018, decreasing to $51.67 by 2023 and held constant thereafter and lease operating expense estimates comprising a fixed and variable component based on historic operating expense reports. The reference point for the volumes produced is at the wellhead.

Pioneer Joint Venture Acquisition Overview Pioneer Acquisition and Financing Activities On 23 April 2018 Sundance completed the acquisition of 21,900 net acres and 1,700 boe/d of production (average for the first quarter of 2018) for US$221.5 MM from a joint venture operated by Pioneer Natural Resources Sundance additionally entered contracts with a leading midstream operator to provide firm transport and processing capacity for crude, condensate, natural gas and natural gas liquids from the wellhead to market through 2035 at attractive market rates The Acquisition was funded via the issuance of $260 MM of new equity. Additionally, the Company refinanced its existing debt via a new $250 MM 5-year Second Lien Term Loan and an RBL with $87.5 MM of initial availability(1) Post transaction liquidity of ~$130 MM enables execution of an active two rig development program targeting 30 - 40 wells per twelve month period Credit metrics improve sharply as a result of the transaction and refinancing, with no maturities until 2022.

Appendix III Reserve Estimate Assumptions
Underlying Assumptions for Reserve PV(10) estimates Unless otherwise noted, the PV(10) values provided in this presentation were based on Ryder Scotts evaluations effective 1 January 2018, and are subject to the following underlying assumptions: NYMEX Strip (Varying) Prices Oil Pricing: WTI pricing of $59.36 in 2018; $56.19 in 2019; $53.76 in 2020; $52.29 in 2021; $51.70 in 2022; $51.67 in 2023 and thereafter Gas Pricing: Henry Hub pricing $2.82 in 2018; $2.81 in 2019; $2.82 in 2020; $2.85 in 2021; $2.89 in 2022; $3.05 in 2023 and thereafter NGL Pricing: 31% to 54% of WTI from 2018 to 2023 and thereafter Costs Operating costs for the leases and wells in the Ryder Scott report were provided by Sundance and based on Sundances operating expense reports for the legacy properties or those of Pioneer for the acquisition properties. The operating costs include only those costs directly applicable to the leases or wells. The operating costs supplied by Sundance were reviewed by Ryder Scott for their reasonableness using information supplied by Sundance for this purpose. No deduction was made for loan repayments, interest expenses, or exploration and development prepayments that were not charged directly to the leases or wells. Development costs were supplied by Sundance based on authorisations for expenditure for the proposed work or actual costs for similar projects. The development costs supplied by Sundance were reviewed by Ryder Scott for their reasonableness using information supplied by Sundance for this purpose. The estimated cost of abandonment after salvage was supplied by Sundance and accepted without independent verification. Current costs used by Sundance were held constant throughout the life of the properties. Cost estimates for a pro-forma 1P PV(10) estimate of $706m include operating costs totalling $1,246.9m, Ad Valorem Taxes totalling $55.3m and development costs totalling $1,083.8m. Cost estimates for 1P PV(10) estimate of $290.3m for the Acquisition include operating costs totalling $703.1m, Ad Valorem Taxes totalling $28.5m and development costs totalling $541.0m. Note: Reserve estimates in this presentation vary from the reserve estimates included in the Companys Investor Presentation filed with the ASX on 15 March 2018. The primary reason for the variance is related to the underlying pricing assumptions used and disclosed in each presentation.
