---

On September 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "<u>Notes Purchase Agreement</u>"), among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein (the "<u>Guarantors</u>"), and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the "<u>Representative</u>"), as representative of the several initial purchasers (the "<u>Initial Purchasers</u>"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $750 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's new 6.000% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "<u>Notes</u>"). The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors. The Notes Offering is expected to result in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $739.6 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers' discount and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering (i) to fund all or a portion of the consideration in connection with the XTO Acquisition and to pay related costs and expenses, (ii) to pay fees and expenses associated with the Notes Offering and (iii) for general corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings under the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility.

If (i) the consummation of the acquisition contemplated by the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated September 15, 2025, by and between a subsidiary of the Company, XTO Energy, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (the "<u>XTO Acquisition</u>") does not occur on or before June 30, 2026, which date may be extended by the Company at its option by written notice to the trustee for the Notes to not later than September 30, 2026 (such date, as it may be extended, the "<u>Outside Date</u>") or (ii) prior thereto, the Company notifies the trustee in writing that it will not pursue the consummation of the XTO Acquisition (the earlier of the date of delivery of such notice described in clause (ii) and the Outside Date the "<u>Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger Date</u>"), the Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to (a) if the Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger Date occurs on or before June 30, 2026, 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (b) if the Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger Date occurs thereafter, 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date upon which the Notes will be redeemed.

The Notes will be issued and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereunder. The Initial Purchasers intend to resell the Notes only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified

------

institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and other applicable laws. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or any applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes Offering is expected to close on September 30, 2025, subject to customary conditions, in accordance with the terms of the Notes Purchase Agreement.

The Notes Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the parties and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, the Notes Purchase Agreement contains customary indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Certain of the Initial Purchasers and their affiliates perform various financial advisory, investment banking and commercial banking services from time to time for the Company and its affiliates. Certain of the Initial Purchasers and/or their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking, commercial banking and other financial advisory and commercial dealings with the Company and its affiliates. For example, certain of the Initial Purchasers and/or their affiliates are lenders under the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility. Accordingly, to the extent the Company uses any portion of the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to repay outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility, certain of the Initial Purchasers and/or their affiliates that are lenders under the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility may receive a portion of the net proceeds of the Notes Offering. In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the Initial Purchasers and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Company or its affiliates.

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company obtained a waiver under its senior secured revolving credit facility waiving the automatic reduction of the borrowing base that would otherwise occur upon the consummation of the offering and certain provisions to permit the special mandatory redemption.

HOUSTON, Texas, September 16, 2025—Chord Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CHRD) (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), announced today pricing of its private placement to eligible purchasers (the "Notes Offering") of $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "Notes"). The Notes Offering has been upsized from the previously announced $500 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes were priced at par. The Notes Offering is expected to close on September 30, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by the Company's existing subsidiaries and future domestic subsidiaries, in each case, that guarantee the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering for purposes of (i) funding all or a portion of the consideration in connection with the Company's recently announced pending acquisition of certain oil and gas assets in the Williston Basin from XTO Energy, Inc.

The Notes will be subject to a "special mandatory redemption" in the event that the XTO Acquisition does not occur on or before June 30, 2026, which date may be extended to not later than September 30, 2026. The special mandatory redemption would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the date upon which the Notes will be redeemed (unless the trigger date for the redemption occurs after June 30, 2026 and on or before September 30, 2026, in which case the redemption price will be equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest).

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and unless so registered, the notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an applicable exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes are being offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act and is for informational purposes only. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security, including with respect to the Notes, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
