On June 5, 2021, Craig T.

Mr. Burkert has been a shareholder of Matador and its predecessors since 1984 and a member of Matador’s Board since 2016. Most recently, Mr. Burkert served as a member of the Audit, Nominating, Capital Markets and Finance, and Marketing and Midstream Committees of the Board. Mr. Burkert’s resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Matador thanks Mr. Burkert for his many contributions to the Board and committees on which he has served and his willingness to continue to serve on the Shareholder Advisory Committee and to provide institutional knowledge as needed. All of Matador wish him well in his retirement.
