On July 24, 2017, Antero Resources Corporation (the “Company”) extended its offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) up to $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding unregistered 5.0% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Old Notes”) for up to $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.0% Senior Notes due 2025, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  All other terms of the Exchange Offer, as described in the prospectus dated June 23, 2017, remain unchanged.

 

The Exchange Offer will now expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on July 26, 2017, unless further extended by the Company.  The Exchange Offer was scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on July 21, 2017.  The Company has been advised by its exchange agent that, as of 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on July 21, 2017, $591,124,000.00 in aggregate principal amount of Old Notes, representing approximately 98.521% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes, had been tendered and not validly withdrawn.  The Exchange Offer is being extended to provide holders of the Old Notes who have not yet tendered their notes for exchange additional time to do so.
