Mike Wichterich Chairman

Good morning, and welcome to Expand Energy's 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. I am Mike Wisterich, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Interim President and CEO of Expand Energy. This year's meeting is being held virtually, giving shareholders the ability to participate without having to travel to attend in person. At this time, I'll call the meeting in order. Before we turn to the formal business of the meeting, I want to recognize John Gass, who is retiring from the board, effective at the conclusion of this meeting. On behalf of the board, I want to thank John for his many years of dedicated service to the company. John played an instrumental role in the creation of Expand Energy, helping us build North America's largest natural gas producer with an advantaged platform to supply rapidly growing demand centers and markets in need. While John will be missed, we remain confident that the board's current composition provides the right experience and skill set to oversee the company's strategy and risk profile. As strong boards do, we are actively focused on identifying and evaluating director candidates whose skill set and expertise enhances the board's current composition and strengths. Now, turning back to the business of our meeting today, Cynthia Scoglon of Broadridge will serve as our Inspector of Elections. Jody Prost, our Engagement Partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, is in attendance and is available to answer any questions. I would now like to introduce our General Counsel, Chris Lacey, who will serve as the Secretary of the Meeting.

Christopher Lacy General Counsel

Thanks, Mike. Good morning. All requirements to conduct this meeting have been met. All shareholders of record at the close of business on April 6, 2026, are entitled to vote. Ms. Scoglin has advised me that a majority of shares entitled to vote at this meeting are present in person or by proxy, so we have a quorum. It is now 10.02 a.m., and the polls are open. Shareholders of record who wish to vote or change their prior vote may do so by clicking on the Vote Here link on the right-hand side of their monitor. There are three matters to be voted on during today's meeting. The first item is the election of nine directors. Your board recommends a vote for each of the following director nominees. Tim Duncan, Ben Duster, Sarah Emerson, Matt Gallagher, Chip Johnson, Kathy Kerr, Shamik Konar, Brian Steck, and Mike Wistrich, who serves as chairman of the board. The second matter for consideration is an advisory vote to approve our named Executive Officer Compensation for 2025. Your Board recommends a vote for this proposal for the reasons stated in the proxy statement. The third voting item is the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Your Board recommends a vote for this proposal for the reasons stated in the proxy statement. We will now welcome questions from shareholders. Questions should be limited to matters related to the three proposals I have described and otherwise adhere to the rules of conduct for the meeting which can be found on the meeting website. We may not get to every question, but we'll do our best to respond to as many questions as possible. Please type your questions in the Ask a Question box on the left-hand side of your monitor and click on Submit.
