Confidential – Preliminary Draft REVIEW OF KEY FOCUS AREAS & OBJECTIVES HOW DO AM / AMGP IMPACT AR? – KEY FOCUS AREAS WHEN ASSESSING THE PROPOSAL Minimally accretive to AR cash alone, which could improve objective Page 2 Project Bronco | Focus Area: Proposal Impact 1Cash Flow from Distributions Distributions from AM are an important component of AR’s free cash flow Minimally dilutive to AR cash flow in 2019 - 2020 flow over 2021 - 2022 2Value of AM Units Held The market value of AR’s midstream holdings are imbedded into the overall value of AR’s stock New AMGP will have improved characteristics vs. AM stand-valuation & trading levels 3Alignment of Interests AR owns 53% of AM, but 0% of AMGP currently, creating a perceived mis-alignment of interests Reduces conflict of interest within the Antero family, a core As the Special Committee begins its assessment of the AMGP – AM acquisition proposal, it is essential to keep in context how AM / AMGP impact AR

Confidential – Preliminary Draft AMGP – AM ACQUISITION PROPOSAL SUMMARY Proposal provided to the AR Special Committee on June 8, 2018 AMGP acquires all of the outstanding common units of AM in an all equity exchange Each outstanding AM common unit to be exchanged for 1.600 AMGP shares Taxable transaction for holders of AM common units "Step-up" in tax basis to AMGP i. AMGP will be reorganized as a Delaware corporation with typical C-corp corporate governance Each share representing a limited partner interest in AMGP will be converted to one share of common stock of the resulting corporation IDRs in AM held by Antero IDR Holdings, LLC, a partially-owned subsidiary of AMGP ("IDR Holdings"), will be cancelled All of the Series B Units of IDR Holdings will be exchanged in a taxable transaction for an aggregate of 18.5 million AMGP shares (outlined on the following page) — ii. iii.

Cmte. announcement) 2Near-Term Dilution AM unitholders (and AR shareholders, by extension) likely to be disappointed with a distribution cut Free cash flow generation is integral to the AR investment story Target keeping pro forma distributions to AM variables (distr. coverage ratio, exchange ratio, etc). 3Series B Value Investors may be surprised by the implied value of the Series B Units Negative perception of management’s incentives in this transaction Series B needs to be removed to eliminate any Series B could realize substantial value if left in place 4No Cash Component Including a cash component or option in the deal may be a positive surprise to AR investors, particularly if cash proceeds are earmarked for share buybacks at AR Aggregate cash proceeds in excess of $500 mm will likely be required to “move the needle” May reduce potential “overhang” on new AMGP shares post-deal Based on our initial assessment, Baird views the AMGP – AM acquisition as a modest net positive to AR, however, the Committee should consider pursuing certain enhancements to the initial terms of the proposal
