MACH NATURAL RESOURCES LP

We may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. In addition, we are not aware of any material legal proceedings contemplated to be brought against the Company. For more information on our legal contingencies see Note 10 in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report.

As an owner and operator of oil and natural gas properties, we are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the lessee under an oil and gas lease for the cost of pollution cleanup resulting from operations and subject the lessee to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, we may be directed to suspend or cease operations in the affected area. We maintain insurance coverage that is customary in the industry, although we are not fully insured against all environmental risks.

We are not aware of any environmental claims existing as of December 31, 2023. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past non-compliance with environmental issues will not be discovered on our oil and natural gas properties.
