Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Includes a fully vested award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that may be settled only for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. Pursuant to the Reporting Person's election under the Kinetik Holdings Inc. (the "Company") Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), settlement of such vested RSUs has been deferred until the earlier to occur of the following: (a) the termination of the Reporting Person's service relationship with the Company; (b) a change-in-control (as defined in the Plan) or (c) by January 1, 2027.
(2)	While the RSUs remain outstanding, an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the RSUs had they been in the form of common stock will be reinvested into additional RSUs based on the same amount at which dividends are reinvested pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, as amended from time to time (the "DRIP"). The additional RSUs will be immediately vested in full and pursuant to the Reporting Person's election under the Plan, will be settled at the same time as the initial RSUs subject to the award, as described in Note 1 above.
(3)	Amount reported includes approximately 295 additional RSUs acquired by the Reporting Person since the date of the Reporting Person's last Form 5 in connection with the reinvestment of dividends described herein.
