Peer Group Issuers, Footnote    

(3) The peer group disclosed is the group of companies whose executive compensation we consider when determining our NEO’s compensation as described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Implementing Our Compensation Program Objectives—Competitive Peer Analysis”. For 2025, the peer group was comprised of APA Corp., Civitas Resources, Inc., Coterra Energy Inc., Devon Energy Corporation, Diamondback Energy Inc., EQT Corporation, Expand Energy Corporation, Murphy Oil Corporation, Ovintiv Inc., and Range Resources Corporation. The 2025 peer group removed Marathon Oil Corporation, and Southwestern Energy Company and added Civitas Resources, Inc., Expand Energy Corporation, and Murphy Oil Corporation when compared to the 2024 peer group to reflect shifts in the market, including as a result of merger activity, and maintain a comparable peer group. The value of the initial $100 fixed investment of the 2024 peer group’s TSR for the 2025 year is included in column (g-1).
