{00036403.DOCX:4 } Riley Permian Announces New Share Repurchase Program OKLAHOMA CITY, December 16, 2025 / PRNewswire/ -- Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. (NYSE American: REPX) ("Riley Permian") today announced that the Board of Directors has authorized the initiation of a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of the currently outstanding shares of the Company's common stock over a period of 24 months. The Board also authorized the Company to enter into written trading plans under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock pursuant to its share repurchase program. Bobby Riley, Chairman and CEO for Riley Permian, commented, "We're excited to introduce a share repurchase program as another means of returning capital to shareholders in addition to our quarterly dividends. With the closing of Riley Permian's previously-announced midstream sale, we are well-positioned to pursue opportunities to unlock value and maximize shareholder returns. The share repurchase program highlights our confidence in continued excellent operational performance and financial strength." The shares may be repurchased by the Company from time to time in open market transactions, through block trades, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including management's assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company's debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, and other considerations. The Company intends to purchase shares under the repurchase program opportunistically with available funds while maintaining sufficient liquidity to fund its capital development program. The repurchase program does not obligate Riley Permian to purchase stock, and may be suspended from time to time, modified, extended or discontinued by the Board of Directors at any time. Any stock purchased as part of this program will no longer be outstanding and will be available for future issuances by Riley Permian. About Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. Riley Permian is a growth-oriented upstream oil and gas company operating in Texas and New Mexico with infrastructure projects that complement our operations.
