Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 22, 2022, APA Corporation (the “Company”) amended the outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements issued under the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Compensation Plan that are grants of cash-based Altus Midstream Company (“Altus”) Restricted Stock Units (the “Altus RSU Awards”) to Mr. Clay Bretches, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Operations, and former Chief Executive Officer and President of Altus. The amendment (the “Amendment”) revises the Altus RSU Awards to change the stock applicable to such awards from the Class A common stock of Altus to the common stock of the Company, with an equivalent value determined by reference to the closing prices of the Altus and Company stock as of the closing (the “Closing”) of the business combination transaction between Altus and BCP Raptor Holdco, LP. The Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved this Amendment to better align compensation incentives with the Company, given that Altus is no longer a controlled subsidiary of the Company and Mr. Bretches is no longer an officer of Altus as of the Closing.

The Amendment was contingent on the Closing. Mr. Bretches accepted the Amendment on February 22, 2022.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
