On April 8, 2021, Antero Midstream Corporation (“Antero Midstream”) and Antero Resources Corporation (“Antero Resources”) announced that Glen C. Warren, Jr. will retire as President of Antero Midstream and President and Chief Financial Officer of Antero Resources, effective as of April 30, 2021. Mr. Warren will also step down from the board of both companies as of the same date. Mr. Warren’s retirement is not the result of any disagreement with Antero Midstream or Antero Resources.
Effective upon Mr. Warren’s retirement, (i) Paul M. Rady, currently Chairman and CEO of Antero Resources and Antero Midstream, will also be named President of Antero Resources and Antero Midstream, (ii) Michael N. Kennedy, currently Senior Vice President of Finance at Antero Resources and Antero Midstream and Chief Financial Officer of Antero Midstream, will be named Chief Financial Officer of Antero Resources, will cease to be the Chief Financial Officer of Antero Midstream and will continue to serve as Senior Vice President of Finance at Antero Midstream and (iii) Brendan E. Krueger, currently Vice President of Finance and Treasurer of Antero Resources and Antero Midstream, will be named Chief Financial Officer of Antero Midstream and will continue to serve as Treasurer and Vice President of Antero Resources and Antero Midstream. Also effective upon Mr. Warren’s retirement, Mr. Kennedy will be appointed to the board of directors of Antero Midstream pursuant to Antero Resources’ contractual right to designate certain members of Antero Midstream’s board. Antero Midstream believes that Mr. Kennedy’s experience as chief financial officer of Antero Midstream, together with his broad knowledge and experience in the industry, will enable Mr. Kennedy to provide the board with executive counsel on a full range of business, strategic, financial and professional matters.
