State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Matador Resources Company (the “Company”) is unable to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”) in a timely manner without unreasonable effort and expense due to a delay experienced by the Company in completing its financial statements and other disclosures in the Form 10-K. The Company recently completed its initial public offering and is filing a Form 10-K for the first time. As a result, the Company is still in the process of compiling required information to complete the Form 10-K. The Company presently anticipates that it will file the Form 10-K prior to the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?     Yes   x     No   ¨

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The Company anticipates that the Form 10-K will report revenue of approximately $79.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $42.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company also anticipates reporting a net loss of approximately $10.3 million and earnings (loss) of $(0.25) per Class A common share and $0.02 per Class B common share for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to net income of approximately $6.4 million and earnings of $0.15 per Class A common share and $0.42 per Class B common share for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company anticipates that the primary reasons for the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 are that (i) the Company recorded a full-cost ceiling impairment charge of approximately $23.0 million net of a deferred income tax credit of approximately $12.7 million during the first quarter of 2011 and (ii) the Company incurred total non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
