        <footnote id="F1">Includes an award of restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;) granted to the Reporting Person under the Kinetik Holdings Inc. 's (the &quot;Company&quot;) Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Compensation Plan (the &quot;Plan&quot;) that will generally vest on January 1, 2029, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service relationship with the Company through such date and may be settled only for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Represents an award of performance share units (&quot;PSUs&quot;) representing a contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock. Between 0% and 200% of the target number of PSUs granted, which were granted under the Plan, are eligible to vest based on continued service relationship with the Company and the Company's annualized total shareholder return over the period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Reflects 618 dividend equivalent shares accrued on PSUs granted to the Reporting Person under the Company's Plan and the Company's Dividend and Distribution Reinvestment Plan after the Reporting Person's immediately prior Form 4 filing. Each dividend equivalent unit reflects the right to receive Class A Common stock, subject to the terms and conditions (including vesting and settlement terms) applicable to the corresponding PSU.  During the 2-year vesting period, the award will be credited with dividend equivalents that will be paid out in Class A Common Stock at the time the underlying units vest and shares are issued. The award and credited dividend will be payable on a one-to-one basis of Class A Common Stock for each vested PSU, including PSUs resulting from dividend equivalents.</footnote>
