On September 9, 2026, Van H. Singleton, II retired as Co-President – Land, Acquisitions and Divestitures and Planning of Matador Resources Company (the “Company”) and transitioned to a role as Special Advisor to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Executive Committee. The Company thanks Mr. Singleton for his contributions to the Company and his friendship during his many years of service at the Company and looks forward to continuing to work with him in this new capacity.
Mr. Singleton’s role as Co-President of the Company will be assumed by Bryan A. Erman, who has served as Co-President, Chief Legal Officer and Head of M&A of the Company since June 2025. Jonathan J. Filbert, who has served as Executive Vice President – Land of the Company since October 2023, will assume Mr. Singleton’s responsibilities regarding the Company’s land and acquisition and divestiture efforts.
In connection with his transition to a Special Advisor role, on September 9, 2026, Mr. Singleton entered into an Advisor Agreement (the “Advisor Agreement”) with a subsidiary of the Company.
