Warren, Jr. sold 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer. Prior to such sales, Messrs. Rady and Warren and Antero Subsidiary Holdings LLC (AR Sub and, together with Messrs. Rady and Warren, the Reporting Persons) were party to that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated March 12, 2019, and as a result the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have formed a Section 13(d) group. Messrs. Rady and Warren are filing this Amendment No. 5, which amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on March 14, 2019 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 24, 2019, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed on September 5, 2019, as further amended by Amendment No. 3 filed on November 12, 2019 and as further amended by Amendment No. 4 filed on December 16, 2019, the Original Schedule 13D) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect such sales. AR Sub has not sold any shares of common stock of the Issuer and is only filing this Amendment No. 5 because AR Sub may be deemed to be part of a Section 13(d) group with Messrs. Rady and Warren. The Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the Reporting Persons, as set forth below (as so amended and supplemented, the Schedule 13D). Unless set forth below, all previous Items of the Original Schedule 13D are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein that are not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D. Each ownership percentage set forth herein is based on 476,494,217 shares of the Issuers common stock outstanding as of May 1, 2020.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 shall be amended to add the following:
On May 5, 2020, (i) an investment vehicle controlled by Mr. Rady sold 18,000,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer on the open market and at a price of $4.10 per share and (ii) Mr. Warren sold 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer on the open market and at a price of $4.10 per share. AR Sub did not sell any shares of common stock of the Issuer.
As a result of such sales, Messrs. Rady and Warren are no longer subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and, as such, also ceased being a part of any deemed Section 13(d) group resulting from the Stockholders Agreement.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
This Item 5 shall be deemed to amend and restate Item 5 to the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety:

As a result of the transactions disclosed in Item 4 herein, Messrs. Rady and Warren each ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the common stock of the Issuer because he no longer is subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and, therefore, is not deemed to be a member of any Section 13(d) group resulting from the Stockholders Agreement. As such, Mr. Radys and Mr. Warrens respective obligation to file further amendments to this statement has terminated. AR Subs obligation to file further amendments is unimpacted by the transactions disclosed in Item 4 herein. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of shares owned by the other Reporting Persons except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein.

(i) Paul M. Rady is the direct owner of 9,580,927 shares of the Issuers common stock, representing 2.01% of the outstanding shares of the Issuers common stock.
