This preliminary prospectus supplement details a significant secondary offering of 11 million shares by SGF FANG Holdings LP, a major shareholder that acquired its stake through the Endeavor acquisition. The offering represents approximately 3.9% of Diamondback Energy's outstanding common stock. Crucially, Diamondback Energy will not receive any proceeds from this sale, meaning it does not raise capital for the company but rather provides liquidity for the selling stockholder. This large volume of shares entering the market could create a near-term overhang on the stock price. The selling stockholder's stake will decrease from 34.4% to 30.5% (assuming no over-allotment). The selling stockholder is subject to a 60-day lock-up period, while the company has a 30-day lock-up.
