  (a) Amounts shown as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for Domenic (“Nick”) Dell’Osso, Jr. (PEO-1), Michael A. Wichterich (PEO-2) and Robert D. (“Doug”) Lawler (PEO-3). Mr. Dell’Osso was promoted from Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in October 2021. The largest portion of his compensation in 2021 was earned as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; however, because he served as our principal executive officer during a portion of that year, we have included his compensation separately for that year.  
  (b) Amounts shown represent compensation actually paid (CAP) and include adjustments for the changes in the fair values of PSU and RSU awards reported in the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) for Messrs. Dell’Osso (PEO-1), Wichterich (PEO-2) and Lawler (PEO-3) and for the average of the Other NEOs Messrs. Viets, Lacy, Turco and Singh and Ms. Raiford for 2025, Messrs. Viets, Lacy, Singh and Russ for 2024, Messrs. Viets, Singh and Russ for 2023, Messrs. Viets, Singh, Russ and Wichterich for 2022, and Messrs. Singh, Russ, Frank J. Patterson and James R. Webb for 2021. To calculate the CAP, the following amounts were deducted and added to the SCT Total:

(c)Total Shareholder Return, in accordance with Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K, is calculated based on the value of an initial $100 fixed investment and assumes the rein-vestment of any issued dividends. TSR is cumulative for the measurement periods beginning on February 10, 2021 (our date of emergence) and ending on December 31 of each of 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021.  
(d)The peer group for purposes of this table is the S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index which is the same index referenced in the common stock Performance Graph within our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025. Peer Group Total Shareholder Return is calculated on a market capitalization weighted basis according to stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated.  
(e)Represents the amount of net income (loss) previously disclosed in the Company’s audited GAAP financial statements for each year. We emerged from bankruptcy on February 10, 2021. Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 represents the sum of net income derived from the period from January 1, 2021 through February 9, 2021 and net income derived from the period from February 10, 2021 through December 31, 2021.  
(f)Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (GAAP) less cash capital expenditures. See Appendix — Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures, beginning on page 69.
