REVIEW OF KEY FOCUS AREAS & OBJECTIVES (CONT.)
HOW DOES THE PROPOSAL IMPACT AR'S BROADER STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES?
AR Key Strategic Objectives:
The AMGP -AM acquisition is additive to AR's broader strategic objectives, though we would emphasize this
transaction should not be viewed as a "silver bullet" to meaningfully enhance AR's stock price in the short-term
1 Free cash flow generation
confidencial- Freliminar. Draft
2 Eliminate conflicts of interest
3
Simplify the structure
Core component of AR's strategic plan, driven
primarily by efficiency gains in its E&P operations
Prudent usage of free cash flow to (i) accelerate de-
leveraging; (ii) implement share buybacks; or (iii)
initiate a dividend
Remove the perception of misaligned interests
stemming from unequal ownership in AR/AM/AMGP
Reduce the complexity of the Antero story resulting
from three publicly traded entities

the AR/Midstream ownership
structure and eliminates
incentives held outside of AR
Creation of a single midstream

complexity
