Explanation of Responses:
1. On February 28, 2024, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of Antero Resources Corp. (the "Issuer") certified the Issuer's net debt to adjusted EBITDAX multiple over the third and final performance period, which ran from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, at the maximum level, resulting in 33% of the performance share units ("PSUs") originally granted on April 15, 2021 that vest based on the Issuer's net debt to adjusted EBITDAX multiple becoming earned at 200% of the target amount granted. The service-based vesting requirements applicable to the PSUs originally granted on April 15, 2021 that vest based on the Issuer's net debt to adjusted EBITDAX multiple were satisfied as of December 31, 2023.
2. Includes 172,369 shares of common stock of the Issuer ("Common Stock") subject to previously granted restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs") and 28,484 shares of Common Stock subject to previously granted PSUs, in each case, that remain subject to service-based vesting.
3. In connection with the vesting and settlement of the PSUs originally granted on April 15, 2021 through the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Antero Resources Corporation 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Issuer withheld Common Stock that would have otherwise been issued to the Reporting Person to satisfy their tax withholding obligations. The number of shares of Common Stock withheld was determined based on the closing price per share of Common Stock on February 28, 2024.
4. On February 28, 2024, the Compensation Committee certified the Issuer's net debt to adjusted EBITDAX multiple over the second performance period, which ran from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, at the maximum level, resulting in 33% of the PSUs originally granted on April 15, 2022 that vest based on the Issuer's net debt to adjusted EBITDAX multiple becoming earned at 200% of the target amount granted. These PSUs remain outstanding and subject to service-based vesting requirements until December 31, 2024.
5. Includes 172,369 shares of Common Stock subject to previously granted RSUs and 43,838 shares of Common Stock subject to previously granted PSUs, in each case, that remain subject to service-based vesting.
6. On February 28, 2024, the Compensation Committee certified the Issuer's net debt to adjusted EBITDAX multiple over the first performance period, which ran from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, at the maximum level, resulting in 33% of the PSUs originally granted on October 19, 2022 that vest based on the Issuer's net debt to adjusted EBITDAX multiple becoming earned at 200% of the target amount granted. These PSUs remain outstanding and subject to service-based vesting requirements until December 31, 2025.

8. On February 28, 2024, the Compensation Committee certified the Issuer's net debt to adjusted EBITDAX multiple over the first performance period, which ran from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, at the maximum level, resulting in 33% of the PSUs originally granted on March 7, 2023 that vest based on the Issuer's net debt to adjusted EBITDAX multiple becoming earned at 200% of the target amount granted. These PSUs remain outstanding and subject to service-based vesting requirements until December 31, 2025.
