Confidential – Preliminary Draft Combining AR, AM & AMGP would likely create a sum-of-the-parts discount The pro forma integrated E&P company would need to trade at a cash flow multiple beyond its E&P peer group and “elite E&P” peer group in order to maintain the current sum-of-the-parts (“SOTP”) valuation Pro Forma Market Capitalization (assuming 10% premium) (2) Required Cash Flow Multiple to Match Current SOTP 2019 Cash Flow Multiples (1) ($ in millions) $17,041 14.9x AMGP AMGP + AR AMGP + AR + AM Multiple Required to Reach AR Elite E&P AR AM AMGP Peer Group (4) Peer Group (5) Current SOTP Value (3) Source: Antero management projections and Wall Street consensus estimates.
