You may withdraw tenders of Restricted Notes at any time prior to the expiration of the relevant exchange offer. The exchange offers are not subject to any condition other than that they will not violate applicable law or interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the&#160;&#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.16pt;">SEC</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.16pt;">&#8221;) and that no proceedings with respect to the exchange offers have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.16pt;">The terms of the Registered Notes to be issued in the exchange offers are substantially identical in all material respects to the terms of the Restricted Notes, except that the Registered Notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate for failure to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined herein). Each series of Registered Notes and the corresponding series of Restricted Notes that are not exchanged in the applicable exchange offer will be treated as a single series of debt securities under the Indenture (as defined below), pursuant to which each series of Restricted Notes were, and the corresponding series of Registered Notes will be, issued, along with any additional notes of any applicable series issued pursuant to the Indenture. </font>

The Registered Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all future indebtedness of the Company that is not subordinated and will be (1)&#160;structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and obligations of the Company&#8217;s Subsidiaries (as defined below), including the outstanding senior notes issued by Cimarex that were not exchanged for Restricted Notes in the Cimarex Exchange Offer (as defined below) and any other indebtedness and liabilities of the Company&#8217;s Subsidiaries and (2)&#160;effectively subordinated to all future senior indebtedness secured by liens up to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up of the Company or upon the acceleration of any senior secured indebtedness, the assets of Coterra that secure such senior secured indebtedness will be available to pay obligations on the Registered Notes only after all indebtedness under such senior secured indebtedness has been repaid in full from such assets. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future from operations, financings or asset sales. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are not able to repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due, we may be forced to sell assets or take other disadvantageous actions, including reducing financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes; reducing our cash dividend rate and/or share repurchases; or dedicating an unsustainable level of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness. In addition, our ability to withstand competitive pressures and to react to changes in the oil and gas industries could be impaired. If we fail to make required payments or otherwise default on our debt, the lenders who hold such debt also could accelerate amounts due, which could potentially trigger a default or acceleration of portions of our other debt. Redemption may adversely affect your return on the Registered Notes. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In addition, the margins we pay under our unsecured revolving credit facility depend on (1)&#160;our leverage ratio, at times when our debt does not have an investment grade rating, and (2)&#160;the credit rating of our debt, at times when our debt has an investment grade credit rating. Accordingly, adverse changes in our leverage ratio or the credit rating of our debt may result in an increase in our interest expense. Further, any failure to meet required payments on our debt, or failure to comply with any covenants in the instruments governing our debt, could result in an event of default under the terms of those instruments. In the event of such default, the holders of such debt could elect to declare all the amounts outstanding under such instruments to be due and payable. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Coterra holds a portion of its assets through direct and indirect ownership interests in, and conducts part of its business through, its subsidiaries. Coterra relies, in part, on dividends or other distributions from its subsidiaries, together with cash generated from its own operations, to meet its obligations for payment of principal and interest on its outstanding debt obligations and corporate expenses. Consequently, Coterra&#8217;s ability to repay its debt when due, including the Registered Notes, may depend on the earnings of its subsidiaries, as well as its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries through dividends or other payments or distributions. The ability of Coterra&#8217;s subsidiaries to pay dividends, repay intercompany debt or make other advances to Coterra is subject to restrictions imposed by applicable laws (including bankruptcy laws), tax considerations and the terms of agreements governing its subsidiaries. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Registered Notes are Coterra&#8217;s general unsecured, senior obligations. Coterra is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries, and holders of the Registered Notes will be able to look only to Coterra for payments on the Registered Notes. In addition, Coterra&#8217;s right to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise, and the ability of holders of the Registered Notes to benefit indirectly from that kind of distribution, is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that Coterra is recognized as a creditor of that subsidiary. All obligations of Coterra&#8217;s subsidiaries will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of such subsidiaries would be available for distribution, upon a liquidation or otherwise, to Coterra. Accordingly, the Registered Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of Coterra&#8217;s subsidiaries and all liabilities of any of its future subsidiaries. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Registered Notes will be general unsecured, senior obligations of Coterra that rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Registered Notes. The Registered Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future indebtedness of Coterra that is not subordinated and will be (1)&#160;structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and obligations of the Company&#8217;s Subsidiaries, including the outstanding senior notes issued by Cimarex and any other indebtedness and liabilities of our subsidiaries and (2)&#160;effectively subordinated to all future senior indebtedness secured by liens up to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up of Coterra or upon the acceleration of any senior secured indebtedness, the assets of Coterra that secure such senior secured indebtedness will be available to pay obligations on the Registered Notes only after all indebtedness under such senior secured indebtedness has been repaid in full from such assets. Holders of the Registered Notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all of our unsubordinated unsecured creditors, including our trade creditors. The Indenture governing the Registered Notes will permit us and our subsidiaries to incur additional debt, including secured debt, subject to certain limited covenants. If we incur any additional obligations that rank equally with the Registered Notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the Registered Notes and our other unsubordinated unsecured creditors in any proceeds distributed upon our insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to pay all these creditors, all or a portion of the Registered Notes then outstanding would remain unpaid. </font>

The covenants in the Indenture will not limit the amount of additional unsecured debt we or our subsidiaries may incur, including additional unsubordinated debt under the Indenture or indebtedness under new or existing credit facilities and will not require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenue, income, cash flows or liquidity. In light of the foregoing, holders of the Registered Notes may be effectively subordinated to any new debt we may incur. We may opportunistically raise additional capital, including through additional indebtedness, to fund our capital plan and ongoing operations. Further, the Indenture will not contain provisions that would afford holders of the Registered Notes protection in the event of a sudden and significant decline in our credit quality or a takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction. Our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to recapitalize, incur additional debt and take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the Registered Notes could adversely affect our capital structure or credit rating or have the effect of diminishing our ability to make payments on the Registered Notes when due. In addition, we and our subsidiaries are not restricted by the terms of the Registered Notes from repurchasing common stock or any subordinated indebtedness that we may incur in the future. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Registered Notes will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not currently intend to apply for listing of the Registered Notes on any securities exchange or market. If a trading market does not develop or is not maintained, holders of Registered Notes may find it difficult or impossible to resell their Registered Notes. If a trading market were to develop, the trading prices of the Registered Notes may be volatile, depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our operating results and financial condition, performance or prospects for companies in the same industry and the market for similar securities. The liquidity of any market for any series of the Registered Notes will depend on the number of holders of those notes, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in those notes and other factors. Accordingly, there can be no assurance regarding any future development of a trading market for the Registered Notes or the ability of holders of the Registered Notes to sell their notes at all or the price at which such holders may be able to sell their Registered Notes. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If you do not exchange your Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offers, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of your Restricted Notes described in the legend on your Restricted Notes and we will not be required to offer another opportunity for you to exchange your Restricted Notes for registered notes, except in limited circumstances. The restrictions on transfer of your Restricted Notes arise because we issued the Restricted Notes under exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may offer or sell the Restricted Notes only if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or are offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. We do not intend to register the Restricted Notes under the Securities Act. We may in the future seek to acquire untendered Restricted Notes in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any Restricted Notes that are not tendered in the exchange offers or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered Restricted Notes. To the extent Restricted Notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offers, the trading market, if any, for the remaining Restricted Notes would likely be adversely affected. See &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Terms of the Exchange Offers&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;Consequences of Failure to Exchange</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221; for a discussion of the possible consequences of failing to exchange your Restricted Notes. </font>

Any Restricted Notes tendered and exchanged in the exchange offers will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Notes of the applicable series outstanding. Following the exchange offers, if you do not tender your Restricted Notes you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Restricted Notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Restricted Notes could be adversely affected. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We and the dealer managers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Restricted Notes on October&#160;7, 2021. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed, among other things, to use commercially reasonable efforts to (1)&#160;file a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to a registered offer to exchange each series of Restricted Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of Registered Notes, with terms substantially identical in all material respects to such series of Restricted Notes (except that the Registered Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate) and (2)&#160;cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by December&#160;31, 2022. In furtherance of the foregoing, we have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-267541) with respect to the exchange offers and the Registered Notes. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer for each series of notes within 60&#160;days after the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. If for any reason the exchange offers are not completed on or prior to December&#160;31, 2022 or if, following such date, the Company receives a written request from certain holders of the Restricted Notes for the filing of a shelf registration statement, then the Company will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause to become effective a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act which would cover resales of the registrable securities of such series held by such persons. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">After the SEC declares this exchange offer registration statement effective, we will offer the Registered Notes in return for the Restricted Notes. Each of the exchange offers will remain open for no fewer than 20&#160;business days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date we electronically deliver notice of such exchange offer to the holders of the applicable Restricted Notes. For each Restricted Note surrendered to us pursuant to an exchange offer, the holder of the Restricted Note will receive a Registered Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Restricted Note. Interest on the Registered Notes will be payable semi-annually and will accrue from the most recent interest payment date of the applicable series of the Restricted Notes, which was November&#160;15, 2022 in the case of the Registered 2027 Notes and September&#160;15, 2022 in the case of the Registered 2029 Notes. </font>

The annual interest rate on the Restricted Notes will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such additional interest continues to accrue; however, the rate at which such additional interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.00% per annum.

Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes of any series, the Trustee may withhold from the holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default if and so long as the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors of the Trustee or a committee of its Responsible Officers and/or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the holders of Notes. In addition, Coterra is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 120&#160;days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. Coterra also is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30&#160;days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any events which would constitute a Default, unless such Default has been cured or waived before the end of the 30-day period, their status and what action Coterra is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">On October&#160;7, 2021, the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Capital One Securities, Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and MUFG Securities Americas Inc., as dealer managers, entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Restricted Notes. In the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, for the benefit of the holders of the Restricted Notes to use commercially reasonable efforts to (1)&#160;cause to be filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to a registered offer to exchange each series of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes, with terms substantially identical in all material respects to such series of Restricted Notes (except that the Registered Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate) and (2)&#160;cause such registration statement become effective under the Securities Act by December&#160;31, 2022. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If the SEC declares the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part effective, the Company will offer the Registered Notes in exchange for the Restricted Notes. Each of the exchange offers will remain open for at least 20 business days from the date such prospectus is mailed and/or electronically delivered. For each Restricted Note surrendered to the Company under the exchange offers, the holders of such Restricted Note will receive a Registered Note of such series of equal principal amount. Interest on the Registered Notes will be payable semi-annually and will accrue from the most recent interest payment date of the applicable series of the Restricted Notes, which was November&#160;15, 2022 in the case of the Registered 2027 Notes and September&#160;15, 2022 in the case of the Registered 2029 Notes. A holder of registrable securities that participates in the exchange offers will be required to make certain representations to us. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offers not later than 60&#160;days after the registration statement becomes effective. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Under existing interpretations of the SEC contained in several no-action letters to third parties, the Registered Notes will be freely transferable after the exchange offers without further registration under the Securities Act, except that any broker-dealer that participates in the exchange offers must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act when it resells the Registered Notes. In addition, under applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC, the Company&#8217;s affiliates will not be permitted to exchange their Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offers. </font>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Company will agree to make available, during the period required by the Securities Act, a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act for use by participating broker-dealers and other persons, if any, with similar prospectus delivery requirements for use in connection with any resale of the Registered Notes. Restricted Notes of any series not tendered in the exchange offers will continue to bear interest at the rate set forth in the Indenture with respect to such series of Restricted Notes and be subject to all the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture, including transfer restrictions, but will not retain any rights under the Registration Rights Agreement (including with respect to increases in annual interest rate described below) after the consummation of the exchange offers. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If for any reason the exchange offers are not completed on or prior to December&#160;31, 2022 or if, following such date, the Company receives a written request from certain holders of the Restricted Notes for the filing of a shelf registration statement, then the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file and to have become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Restricted Notes and to keep that shelf registration statement effective until the date that the Restricted Notes cease to be &#8220;registrable securities&#8221; &#8203;(as defined below). The Company will, in the event of such a shelf registration, provide to each participating holder of Restricted Notes copies of a prospectus, notify each participating holder of Restricted Notes when the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions to permit resales of the Restricted Notes. A holder of registrable securities that sells Restricted Notes under the shelf registration statement generally will be required to make certain representations to the Company, to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with those sales and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement that are applicable to such a holder of registrable securities (including certain indemnification obligations).

The additional interest will cease to accrue when the registration defaults ends. A &#8220;registration default&#8221; occurs if (i)&#160;the exchange offer registered on a registration statement on Form S-4 for the Restricted Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of such registration statement is not completed on or prior to December&#160;31, 2022 or, if a shelf registration statement is required, such shelf registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 60th day after the later of (A)&#160;December&#160;31, 2022 and (B)&#160;the date on which the Company receives a written request from certain holders of the Restricted Notes for the filing of a shelf registration statement or (ii)&#160;if applicable, a shelf registration statement covering resales of the Restricted Notes has been declared effective and such shelf registration statement ceases to be effective or the prospectus contained therein ceases to be usable for resales of registrable securities (A)&#160;on more than two occasions of at least 30&#160;consecutive days during the required effectiveness period as described therein or (B)&#160;at any time in any 12-month period during the required effectiveness period as described therein and such failure to remain effective or be so usable exists for more than 90&#160;days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period. A registration default ends with respect to a series of Restricted Notes when such Restricted Note ceases to be a registrable security or, if earlier, in the case of a registration default under clause (ii)&#160;of the definition thereof, when the registration statement again becomes effective or the prospectus again becomes usable as permitted by the definition thereof. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The following is a general discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offers. It does not purport to contain a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating to the exchange. This discussion is limited to holders of Restricted Notes who hold the Restricted Notes as &#8220;capital assets&#8221; within the meaning of Section&#160;1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Code</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;) (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based upon the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authorities and published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">IRS</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221;), all as currently in effect, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change or differing interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">This discussion is for general information purposes only and does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences and considerations that may be relevant to a particular holder in light of such holder&#8217;s particular facts and circumstances and does not apply to holders that are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as, for example, banks or other financial institutions; insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts or mutual funds; holders liable for the alternative minimum tax; certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States; U.S. holders having a &#8220;functional currency&#8221; other than the U.S. dollar; tax-exempt organizations; dealers in securities; entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or other flow-through entities (or investors therein); subchapter S corporations, retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts; traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting; or holders that hold Restricted Notes as part of a straddle, constructive sale, or conversion transaction or other integrated or risk reduction transaction. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">This discussion does not address any tax consequences under U.S. federal tax laws other than those pertaining to income tax, nor does it address any considerations under any state, local or foreign tax laws or under the unearned income Medicare contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. This discussion also does not address any withholding considerations under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and intergovernmental agreements entered into pursuant thereto or in connection therewith). No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Restricted Notes, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner in such partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partnerships and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors about the tax consequences of the exchange to them. </font>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;font-weight:bold;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">This discussion is for general purposes only. All holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the exchange of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in light of their particular facts and circumstances, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local, foreign or other tax laws.</font><font style="font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:0.2pt;"> </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The exchange of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes in the exchange offers will not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, you will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of Restricted Notes for Registered Notes, your basis in the Registered Notes will be the same as your basis in the Restricted Notes surrendered in exchange therefor immediately before the exchange, and your holding period in the Registered Notes will include your holding period for the Restricted Notes exchanged. </font>

This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Registered Notes received in exchange for Restricted Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. Coterra has agreed that, for a period of up to 180&#160;days after the expiration date of the exchange offers, if requested by one or more such broker-dealers, Coterra will amend or supplement this prospectus in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Registered Notes by any such broker-dealers. </font>

Registered Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offers may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Registered Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Registered Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Registered Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers, and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Registered Notes may be deemed to be an &#8220;underwriter&#8221; within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of Registered Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. </font>
