  1. Includes a fully vested award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that may be settled only for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. Pursuant to the Reporting Person's election under the Kinetik Holdings Inc. (the "Company") Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), settlement of such vested RSUs has been deferred until the earlier to occur of the following: (a) the termination of the Reporting Person's service relationship with the Company or (b) a change in control (as defined in the Plan). While the RSUs remain outstanding, an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the RSUs had they been in the form of common stock will be reinvested into additional RSUs based on the same amount at which dividends are reinvested pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, as amended from time to time (the "DRIP"). The additional RSUs will be immediately vested in full and, pursuant to the Reporting Person's election under the Plan, will be settled at the same time as the initial RSUs subject to the award, as described in Note 1 above.

restricted stock units financial
"Includes a fully vested award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that may be settled only for shares of common stock"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Compensation Plan financial
"Pursuant to the Reporting Person's election under the Kinetik Holdings Inc. ... Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Compensation Plan"
change in control financial
"settlement of such vested RSUs has been deferred until ... termination ... or (b) a change in control (as defined in the Plan)"
A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan financial
"dividends ... will be reinvested into additional RSUs based on the same amount at which dividends are reinvested pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan"
A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.
Form 5 regulatory
"includes approximately 638 additional RSUs acquired ... since the date of the Reporting Person's last Form 5"
A Form 5 is an annual report filed with the U.S. securities regulator by company insiders—such as officers, directors and large shareholders—to disclose any equity transactions or holdings that were missed or deferred during the year. Think of it as an end-of-year ledger adjustment that shows final insider ownership and late-reported trades; investors use it to verify insider confidence, detect possible conflicts of interest, and spot unusual patterns in insiders’ buying or selling.
