conferences, reports, on our website or otherwise, in the future, by us or on our behalf. Such statements are generally identifiable by the terminology used such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;continue,&#148;

demand for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, the success of our drilling program, the timing and amount of planned capital expenditures, sufficient cash flow from operations together with available borrowing capacity under our credit

independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources in the United States, with an emphasis on oil and natural gas shale and other unconventional plays. Our current
operations are focused primarily on the oil and liquids-rich portion of the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring plays in the Delaware Basin in Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. We also operate in the Eagle Ford shale play in South Texas and the Haynesville
shale and Cotton Valley plays in Northwest Louisiana and East Texas. Additionally, we conduct midstream operations in support of our exploration, development and production operations and provide natural gas processing, natural gas, oil and salt
water gathering services and salt water disposal services to third parties on a limited basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Recent Developments </B></P>

of November 1, 2016, we adjusted our anticipated capital expenditures for acquisition, exploration and development activities and related midstream investments in 2016 from $325.0 million to between $425.0 and $450.0 million. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2016, we were operating three drilling rigs in the Delaware Basin &#150; one rig was drilling in our
Wolf/Jackson Trust asset area in Loving County, Texas, one rig was drilling in our Rustler Breaks asset area in Eddy County, New Mexico and one rig was drilling in our Ranger asset area in Lea County, New Mexico.&nbsp;In late November, we elected to
move a fourth rig, which had been drilling a salt water disposal well in our Wolf asset area, to drill an oil and natural gas well in our Rustler Breaks asset area.&nbsp;We expect to continue operating these four drilling rigs in the Delaware Basin
for the remainder of 2016 and into 2017.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At November 30, 2016, we had $120.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $0.8 million in
outstanding letters of credit pursuant to our revolving credit facility. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Recent Acreage Acquisitions and Midstream Development </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In November and December 2016, we entered into agreements (the &#147;Purchase Agreements&#148;) with certain sellers to acquire approximately
4,600 net leasehold acres and estimated current net production of approximately 1,150 barrels of oil equivalent (&#147;BOE&#148;) per day from wells producing on this acreage in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico as well as approximately 475 net
mineral acres in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico (collectively, the &#147;Acreage Acquisitions&#148;) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $62.5 million in cash (subject to customary purchase price adjustments).&nbsp;Assuming the
closing of these transactions, we will hold approximately 99,775 net acres, including approximately 2,775 net mineral acres, in the Permian Basin, almost all of which is located in the Delaware Basin.</P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, we currently have a number of midstream initiatives in the Delaware Basin that are either in progress or that we expect to begin
by the end of the first quarter of 2017 (the &#147;Midstream Development&#148;), including the drilling of a second salt water disposal well in our Rustler Breaks asset area and additional buildout of our gathering systems in our Wolf and Rustler
Breaks asset areas.&nbsp;We expect to incur between $35 and $45&nbsp;million in capital expenditures relating to the Midstream Development.&nbsp;Our 2016 capital expenditure budget of $425 to $450 million reflects those capital expenditures we
expect to incur in connection with the Acreage Acquisitions and the Midstream Development in 2016. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We intend to fund the aggregate
purchase price for the Acreage Acquisitions and the Midstream Development with the net proceeds of this offering and the Concurrent Notes Offering (as defined below).&nbsp;Please see &#147;Use of Proceeds.&#148;</P>

with this offering of our common stock, Matador intends to offer to qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. persons outside of the U.S., in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act, $150 million aggregate principal amount of
its 6.875% senior notes due 2023 (the &#147;Additional Notes&#148;).&nbsp;The Additional Notes are being offered as additional notes to Matador&#146;s existing $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 that Matador
issued in a private placement on April 14, 2015. The Additional Notes and the notes issued on April 14, 2015 will be treated as a single class of debt securities under the indenture and will have identical terms, other than the issue date; however,
they will have different CUSIP numbers and initially will not be fungible for trading purposes. Following the completion of a registered exchange offer for the Additional Notes, they will be fungible with the existing notes and will trade under the
same CUSIP number as the existing notes. We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from the Concurrent Notes Offering of approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million, which we intend to use to
partially fund the Acreage Acquisitions, the Midstream Development, to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures associated with the addition of a fourth
drilling rig, as discussed above under &#147;&#151;Operations and Capital Budget Update.&#148;</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We cannot assure you that the Concurrent
Notes Offering will be completed or, if completed, on what terms it will be completed.&nbsp;This offering is not conditioned on the consummation of the Concurrent Notes Offering, and the Concurrent Notes Offering is not conditioned on the
consummation of this offering. The Additional Notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a public company with listed equity securities, we are required to comply with laws, regulations and requirements, certain corporate
governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the &#147;Sarbanes-Oxley Act&#148;), related regulations of the SEC and the requirements of the NYSE. Complying with these statutes, regulations and requirements is difficult and occupies a

the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we are required to maintain internal controls over financial reporting. Our efforts to maintain our internal controls may not be successful, and we may be unable to maintain effective controls over our financial processes and
reporting in the future and comply with the certification and reporting obligations under Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our management does not expect that our internal controls and disclosure controls will prevent all possible
error or all fraud. Further, our remediation efforts may not enable us to avoid material weaknesses in the future. Any failure to maintain effective controls could result in material misstatements that are not prevented or detected and corrected on
a timely basis, which could potentially subject us to sanction or investigation by the SEC, the NYSE or other regulatory authorities. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information

dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applicable to the payment of
dividends and other considerations that our board of directors deems relevant. Cash dividend payments in the future may only be made out of legally available funds and, if we experience substantial losses, such funds may not be available.&nbsp;In
addition, certain covenants in our revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our outstanding senior notes may limit our ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock. Accordingly, you may have to sell some or all of
your common stock in order to generate cash flow from your investment, and there is no guarantee that the price of our common stock will exceed the price you paid. </P>

substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly. Sales of our common stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a
price that we deem appropriate. These sales could also cause our stock price to decrease and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our common stock. </P>

United States federal income tax at a rate of 30%, or such lower rate as may be specified under an applicable income tax treaty. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with IRS Form

a net income basis at the regular graduated United States federal income tax rates in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. In order to obtain this exemption from withholding tax, a non-U.S.
holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8ECI (or applicable successor form) properly certifying eligibility for such exemption. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject

common stock is &#147;regularly traded on an established securities market,&#148; a non-U.S. holder will be taxed on gain recognized on the disposition of our common stock as a result of our status as a USRPHC only if the non-U.S. holder actually or
constructively holds or held more than 5% of our common stock at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, during the entire period the non-U.S. holder has held our common stock. If our common stock were
not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market, all non-U.S. holders would be subject to United States federal income tax on a disposition of our common stock and a 15% withholding tax would apply to the gross proceeds
from the sale of our common stock by a non-U.S. holder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the

stock (if such disposition occurs after December 31, 2018), in each case if paid to a &#147;foreign financial institution&#148; or a &#147;non-financial foreign entity&#148; (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial institution or
entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the United States government to withhold on certain payments, and to collect and provide to the United
States tax authorities substantial information regarding United States account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with United
States owners), (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any substantial United States owners or provides the withholding agent with a certification (generally on an IRS Form W-8-BEN-E)
identifying the direct and indirect substantial United States owners of the entity, or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules and provides appropriate
documentation (such as an IRS Form W-8-BEN-E).&nbsp;Under certain circumstances, a holder of our common stock might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.&nbsp;Intergovernmental agreements governing FATCA between the United States and

planned capital expenditures, having sufficient cash flow from operations together with available borrowing capacity under our credit agreement, uncertainties in estimating proved reserves and forecasting production results, operational factors
affecting the commencement or maintenance of producing wells, the condition of the capital markets generally as well as our ability to access them, the proximity to and capacity of transportation facilities, availability of acquisitions,
uncertainties regarding environmental regulations or litigation and other legal or regulatory developments affecting our business, and the other factors discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus and in other documents that we file with or

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt securities we may offer by this prospectus will be our general unsecured obligations. We may issue senior debt securities on a senior
unsecured basis under an indenture between us and a trustee that we will name in a prospectus supplement (a &#147;senior indenture&#148;). We may issue subordinated debt securities under an indenture between us and a trustee that we will name in a
prospectus supplement (a &#147;subordinated indenture&#148;). We refer to the senior indentures and the subordinated indentures collectively as the &#147;indentures.&#148; In this description of the debt securities, unless we state otherwise or the
context clearly indicates otherwise, all references to the Company mean Matador Resources Company only. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indentures will be
substantially identical, except for provisions relating to subordination. The senior debt securities will constitute senior debt and will rank equally with all of the Company&#146;s unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities
will be subordinated to, and thus have a junior position to, the Company&#146;s senior debt (as defined with respect to the series of subordinated debt securities) and may rank equally with or senior or junior to our other subordinated debt that may
be outstanding from time to time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have summarized material provisions of the indentures and the debt securities below. This summary is
not complete. We have filed the form of senior indenture and the form of subordinated indenture with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement, and you should read the indentures for provisions that may be important to you. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Provisions Applicable to Each Indenture </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>General.</I></B> The indentures do not limit the amount of debt securities that may be issued under that indenture, and do not limit the
amount of other unsecured debt or securities that the Company may issue. The Company may issue debt securities under the indentures from time to time in one or more series, each in an amount authorized prior to issuance. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries generate substantial operating income
and cash flow. As a result, distributions or advances from those subsidiaries are a significant source of funds needed to meet the debt service obligations of the Company. Contractual provisions or laws, as well as the subsidiaries&#146; financial
conditions and operating requirements, may limit the ability of the Company to obtain cash from its subsidiaries that it requires to pay its debt service obligations, including any payments required to be made under the debt securities. In addition,
unless the subsidiaries provide a subsidiary guarantee, holders of the debt securities will have a junior position to the claims of creditors of the subsidiaries of the Company on their assets and earnings. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If specified in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be general obligations of our subsidiaries that execute subsidiary
guarantees. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, such subsidiary guarantees will be unsecured obligations. See &#147;&#151;Subsidiary Guarantees.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indentures do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to protect holders of the debt securities if we participate in a
highly leveraged transaction or upon a change of control. The indentures also do not contain provisions that give holders the right to require us to repurchase their securities in the event of a decline in our credit ratings for any reason,
including as a result of a takeover, recapitalization or similar restructuring or otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Terms.</I></B> The prospectus

securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third parties in such sale transactions will be underwriters and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the
applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). We or one of our affiliates may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus. Such financial

acting as underwriters. Unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities

syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if such offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may
