NOTICE OF****2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

April 30, 2026

To the Stockholders of Battalion Oil Corporation:

The 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Battalion Oil Corporation (the “Company”) will be held on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., Central Time, at Two Memorial City Plaza, 820 Gessner Road, Live Oak Training Center (1 st Floor), Houston, Texas 77024, for the following purposes:

If you were a stockholder as of the close of business on April 14, 2026 (the “Record Date”), you are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. Admittance at the Annual Meeting will be limited to stockholders of record as of the Record Date. Stockholders will need to provide a valid photo ID and proof of ownership of our common stock (e.g., the Notice, voting instruction form or brokerage statement).

We are pleased to furnish our proxy materials, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, to each stockholder of record, over the Internet, as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission rules. This process will enable us to provide you with a convenient way to access our proxy materials, while reducing the amount of paper necessary to produce these materials, as well as the costs associated with mailing these materials to all stockholders of record. Accordingly, on or about April 30, 2026, the Company mailed the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to all stockholders of record as of the Record Date and posted its proxy materials on the website referenced in the Notice. As more fully described in the Notice, all stockholders may choose to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or may request a printed set of the proxy materials.

Your vote is important. Please vote your proxy promptly so your shares can be represented, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person. You can vote by Internet or by telephone by using the voting procedures described in the Notice, or by requesting a printed copy of the proxy materials (including the proxy card), and completing, signing and returning the proxy card enclosed by mail. All stockholders of record as of the Record Date are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting.
