Pursuant to the Agreement, among other things: (1) AMGP will convert from a Delaware limited partnership to a Delaware corporation to be renamed “Antero Midstream Corporation” upon such conversion (following such conversion, “AMGP Corp”); and (2) Merger Sub will merge with and into AM with AM continuing as the surviving limited partnership and an indirect subsidiary of AMGP Corp (such merger is referred to herein as the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the Agreement and as a result of the Transaction, each common unit of AM (“AM Common Units”) issued and outstanding and held by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement) shall be converted into the right to receive 1.6023 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of AMGP Corp (“AMGP Common Stock”) and $3.00 in cash, subject to AR’s right to elect under certain circumstances to take additional cash (in lieu of a corresponding number of shares of AMGP Common Stock, on the terms set forth in the Agreement) (the foregoing consideration to be received by AR is referred to herein as the “Consideration”). In connection with its consideration of the Transaction, the Committee has requested that Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird” or “we”) provide our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view, to the unaffiliated shareholders of the Company, of the Consideration to be received by the Company in the Transaction. The Committee has not asked us to express, and we are not expressing, any opinion with respect to any of the other financial or non-financial terms, conditions, determinations or actions with respect to the Transaction, including the fairness of the consideration to be received by any unitholder of AM other than the Company Page 4 Project Bronco |

Confidential – Preliminary Draft POTENTIAL BENEFITS TO AR OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION Addresses AR shareholder concerns regarding mis-alignment of incentives associated with the IDRs and Series B units held by AMGP and creates C-Corp structure with traditional governance Simplifies the overall Antero structure into two distinct publicly traded C-Corps AR receives an up-front premium for its units of AM (1) and greater overall cash flow from 2019 – 2022 (when considering the cash component of the merger consideration) vs. the status quo AR goes from having limited voting rights at the status quo AM to being the largest AMGP stockholder with proportionate voting rights Cash component of the transaction may facilitate potential return of capital initiatives at AR Pro forma AMGP Corp has favorable growth, balance sheet and dividend coverage characteristics relative to its peers AMGP Corp’s pro forma market capitalization and C-Corp structure result in a larger float and the potential for enhanced trading liquidity, which may improve AR’s ability to monetize its retained ownership of AMGP Corp (relative to its ability to monetize its ownership of AM in the status quo) Page 18 Project Bronco | (1) Based on closing prices for AM and AMGP as of 10/5/2018.

Baird discounted the resulting implied valuations to present utilizing its derived midpoint cost of equity for AMGP. Implied equity value per AMGP common chare based on comparisons with similar precedent transactions involving MLP general partners Valuation benchmarks include: – Per share price implied by multiples of Total Transaction Value to Total NTM IDR cash flow, normalized for a 1.1x coverage ratio at the underlying MLP – Baird focused on acquisitions of high-growth IDR streams for purposes of this analysis, as a way to best reflect the current growth profile of AMGP Page 49 Project Bronco | Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis Selected Public Comparables Analysis Discounted Distribution Analysis Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
