<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This letter addresses the proxy paper published
by Glass Lewis on April&nbsp;21, 2023 (the &ldquo;Glass Lewis Report&rdquo;) and the advisory report issued by the proxy firm Institutional
Shareholder Services (&ldquo;ISS&rdquo;) on April&nbsp;24, 2023 (the &ldquo;ISS Report&rdquo; and, together with the Glass Lewis Report,
the &ldquo;Reports&rdquo;), regarding the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Amplify Energy Corp. (&ldquo;Amplify&rdquo;) scheduled
for May&nbsp;17, 2023. In the Reports, Glass Lewis and ISS recommended an &ldquo;AGAINST&rdquo; vote for Deborah G. Adams, the chair of
our Nominating and Governance Committee. Glass Lewis made their recommendation because our board of directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;)
is not at least 30% gender diverse, and ISS made their recommendation because of lack of racial and/or ethnic diversity on our Board.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In this supplement, we would like to highlight
important facts about our Board diversity efforts and our commitment to appoint one or more gender and/or ethnically diverse Board members
by the next annual meeting, such that the Glass Lewis gender diversity guidelines would be satisfied by increasing our Board&rsquo;s gender
diversity to above the threshold of 30%, and the ISS racial and/or ethnic diversity guidelines would be satisfied by the Board including
at least one racially or ethnically diverse director.</P>

age, business acumen, and skills.</P>

and complementary skills and experiences to ensure that it is positioned to effectively oversee the execution of the Company&rsquo;s strategy
and manage its risks and opportunities.</P>
