Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Each performance share unit ("PSU") represented a contingent right to receive one share of common stock ("Common Stock") of Antero Resources Corporation (the "Issuer"). On April 20, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Issuer certified performance with respect to these PSUs originally granted on April 15, 2019, which vested at 200% of the original target number of PSUs granted based on the Issuer's absolute total shareholder return over a three-year period.
F2 Includes 479,395 shares of Common Stock subject to previously granted RSUs that remain subject to vesting and 125,624 shares of Common Stock subject to previously granted performance stock unit awards ("PSU") that remain subject to vesting.
F3 In connection with the vesting and settlement of PSUs through the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Antero Resources Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Issuer withheld Common Stock that would otherwise have 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 April 20, 2022.
F4 Includes 2,822,552 shares of Common Stock held by Salisbury Investment Holdings LLC ("Salisbury") and 2,461,712 shares of Common Stock held by Mockingbird Investments LLC ("Mockingbird"). The Reporting Person owns a 95% limited liability company interest in Salisbury and his spouse owns the remaining 5%. The Reporting Person owns a 13.1874% limited liability company interest in Mockingbird and two trusts under his control own the remaining 86.8126%. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by Salisbury and Mockingbird except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
