While Matador Resources Company (the “Company”) maintains a policy of not commenting on market rumors, at this time the Company is unaware of any basis for recent reports that the Company may be a potential takeover target other than the market’s general recognition of the Company’s significant acreage position and potential for future growth in the Delaware Basin. The Company does not expect to comment on any future market rumors or reports regarding this or any related matter.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.

Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this report is based only on information currently available to the Company and speaks only as of the date on which it is made.
