<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On August&nbsp;17, 2016, Range Resources Corporation (&#147;<U>Range</U>&#148;) announced the early tender results as of 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on
August&nbsp;16, 2016 (the &#147;<U>Early Tender Deadline</U>&#148;), of its previously announced exchange offers for certain of Range&#146;s and Memorial Resource Development Corp.&#146;s (&#147;<U>Memorial</U>&#148;) notes and the cash tender
offers for Memorial&#146;s notes (collectively, the &#147;<U>Offers</U>&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the Offers, Range solicited consents from noteholders
to amend the indentures governing notes subject to the Offers (each, an &#147;<U>Existing Indenture</U>&#148;) to eliminate certain of the covenants, restrictive provisions and events of default (collectively, the &#147;<U>Proposed
Amendments</U>&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Offers and related consent solicitations are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things,
the consummation of the merger of Range and Memorial pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May&nbsp;15, 2016 (the &#147;<U>Merger</U>&#148;). The consummation of the Merger is not conditioned upon the completion of any of the Offers or
related consent solicitations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on the receipt of the requisite number of consents in the consent solicitations, Range or Memorial, as applicable,
and the respective guarantors will execute supplements to each of the Existing Indentures (each, a &#147;<U>Supplemental Indenture</U>&#148;) with the trustee under each Existing Indenture with respect to the applicable Proposed Amendments. Each
Supplemental Indenture will become effective upon execution, but provides that the applicable Proposed Amendments will become operative only upon consummation of the applicable Offer, as well as the consummation of the Merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holders who have not yet tendered their existing notes subject to the Offers (the &#147;<U>Existing Notes</U>&#148;) have until 11:59&nbsp;p.m., New York City
time, on August&nbsp;30, 2016, unless extended by Range (the &#147;<U>Expiration Time</U>&#148;), to tender their Existing Notes pursuant to the Offers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The deadline for holders to validly withdraw tendered Existing Notes and validly revoke their consents expired at 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on
August&nbsp;16, 2016 (the &#147;<U>Withdrawal Deadline</U>&#148;). Therefore, any additional Existing Notes tendered and consents delivered may not be validly withdrawn or revoked, except as required by law. In addition, because the Early Tender
Deadline has passed, the previously disclosed exchange and payment terms relating to periods after the Early Tender Deadline are now in effect until the Expiration Time. </P>
