As
previously announced, at Antero Resources Corporation’s (the “Company”) 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
“Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Antero Resources Corporation 2020 Long-Term Incentive
Plan (the “2020 LTIP”), which had previously been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to stockholder
approval at the Annual Meeting. As a result, the 2020 LTIP became effective on June 17, 2020. No further awards will be granted
under the Antero Resources Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Existing LTIP”) on or after June 17, 2020.
The 2020 LTIP
provides for potential grants of: (i) incentive stock options qualified as such under U.S. federal income tax laws (“ISOs”);
(ii) stock options that do not qualify as incentive stock options (together with ISOs, “Options”); (iii) stock appreciation
rights (“SARs”); (iv) restricted stock awards; (v) restricted stock units; (vi) vested stock awards; (vii) dividend
equivalents; (viii) other stock-based or cash awards; and (ix) substitute awards (referred to collectively as the “Awards”).
Employees, officers, non-employee directors and other service providers of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive
awards under the 2020 LTIP.
The 2020 LTIP
provides for the reservation of 10,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus the number of shares that become
available for delivery under the 2020 LTIP with respect to Existing Awards (as defined below) in accordance with the share recycling
provisions described below. Such 10,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock will be available for issuance
upon the exercise of ISOs. If all or any portion of an Award, including an award granted under the Existing LTIP that is outstanding
as of June 17, 2020 (an “Existing Award”), expires or is cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled for cash or otherwise
terminated without the actual delivery of shares, any shares subject to such Award or Existing Award will again be available for
new Awards under the 2020 LTIP. Any shares withheld or surrendered in payment of any taxes relating to Awards or Existing Awards
(other than Options or SARs) will be again available for new Awards under the 2020 LTIP. For the avoidance of doubt, irrespective
of whether such awards are granted under the 2020 LTIP or the Existing LTIP, (i) shares withheld or surrendered in payment of any
exercise or purchase price of an Option or SAR or taxes relating to an Option or SAR and (ii) shares repurchased on the open market
with the proceeds from the exercise price of an Option, in each case, will not be available for new Awards under the 2020 LTIP.
The preceding
summary of the 2020 LTIP does not purport to be a complete description of all provisions of the 2020 LTIP and should be read in
conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the complete text of the 2020 LTIP, which is
filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
