PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Hosted Virtually on May 24, 2024

This proxy statement contains information related to the Annual Meeting. Unless otherwise stated or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Granite Ridge” and “the Company” refer to Granite Ridge Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation that was formed on May 9, 2022. Granite Ridge is a scaled, non-operated oil and gas exploration and production company. We own a portfolio of wells and top-tier acreage across the Permian Basin and four other prolific unconventional basins across the United States. Rather than drill wells ourselves, we increase asset diversity and decrease overhead by investing in a smaller piece of a larger number of high-graded wells drilled by proven public and private operators. Our principal offices are located at 5217 McKinney Avenue, Suite 400, Dallas, Texas 75205.
