On April 12, 2019, Tony C. Maranto, resigned from his positions as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Roan Resources, Inc. (the “Company”). The resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Company plans to conduct a search to identify a Chief Executive Officer candidate to serve as Mr. Maranto’s successor.

Following Mr. Maranto’s resignation, on April 15, 2019, the Board appointed Joseph A. Mills as Executive Chairman and the principal executive officer of the Company, each on an interim basis until the search for a new Chief Executive Officer is complete. The additional biographical and other information concerning Mr. Mills required by Item 5.02(c) of Form 8-K was included in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on November 6, 2018 and is incorporated by reference herein. In connection with Mr. Mills’ appointment as Executive Chairman, the Company and Mr. Mills entered into a letter agreement (the “Mills Letter”). Pursuant to the Mills Letter, Mr. Mills will receive an annualized base salary of $400,000 and will not receive any additional cash compensation for services he provides as a member of the Board.

The foregoing description of the Mills Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Mills Letter, as applicable, a copy of which is filed as Exhibits 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
