On Thursday, May 4, 2023, Coterra Energy Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2023 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Coterra Energy Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), which replaces the existing Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation 2014 Incentive Plan and the Cimarex Energy Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. Employees, officers, directors and consultants selected by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors are eligible to participate in the 2023 Plan, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and other named executive officers. The 2023 Plan includes a reserve of 22,950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10, that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2023 Plan. Awards under the 2023 Plan may be made in the form of, among other things, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units and cash awards. The 2023 Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 21, 2023, subject to shareholder approval.
