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)	On March 7, 2023, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of Antero Resources Corp. (the "Issuer") granted performance share units (the "2023 TSR PSUs"), 25% of which vest based on the Issuer's absolute total shareholder return ("TSR") over the fourth and final performance period, which ran from March 7, 2023 through March 7, 2026 (the "Fourth Tranche"). On March 16, 2026, the Compensation Committee certified the Issuer's absolute TSR over the fourth performance period between the target and maximum performance level, resulting in the Fourth Tranche becoming earned at 101.52% of the target amount granted for that tranche and 25.38% of the total target number of 2023 TSR PSUs granted.
(2)	Includes 77,559 shares of common stock of the Issuer ("Common Stock") subject to restricted stock units ("RSU") awards and 34,550 performance share units ("PSUs") in respect of which performance has been certified, in each case that remain subject to service-based vesting.
(3)	In connection with the vesting and settlement of the 2023 TSR PSUs through the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Amended and Restated Antero Resources Corporation 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Issuer withheld Common Stock that would have otherwise been issued to the Reporting Person to satisfy their tax withholding obligations. The number of shares of Common Stock withheld was determined based on the closing price per share of Common Stock on March 16, 2026.
Remarks: Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President - Finance and Treasurer
