On March 16, 2026, the Compensation Committee certified the Issuer's absolute TSR over the fourth performance period between the target and maximum performance level, resulting in the Fourth Tranche becoming earned at 101.52% of the target amount granted for that tranche and 25.38% of the total target number of 2023 TSR PSUs granted.

2. Includes 80,814 shares of common stock of the Issuer ("Common Stock") subject to restricted stock units ("RSU") awards and 43,188 performance share units ("PSUs") in respect of which performance has been certified, in each case that remain subject to service-based vesting.

3. In connection with the vesting and settlement of the 2023 TSR PSUs through the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Amended and Restated 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 March 16, 2026.
