Samson Resources II, LLCInvestor PresentationDecember 2018 II

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk FactorsThis presentation contains certain matters that may be considered “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Actof 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations andprojections of Samson Resources II, LLC (the “Company”) and its management. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-lookingterminology, including “plan”, “intend”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, “should”, “could” or other similar words. You are cautioned that anysuch forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties many ofwhich are beyond the control of the Company, its subsidiaries, or its and their management, representatives and advisors, that could materially andadversely affect actual results. These include risks relating to our financial performance and results, our ability to improve our financial results andprofitability following emergence from bankruptcy, our ability to complete pending asset sales, availability of sufficient cash flow to execute ourbusiness plan, continued low or further declining commodity prices and demand for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, our ability to hedge futureproduction, our ability to replace reserves and efficiently develop current reserves, and the regulatory environment and other important factors thatcould cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements and none of the Company, itssubsidiaries, or its and their representatives and advisors undertake any obligation to update any such statements.

Reserve EstimatesThe SEC permits oil and natural gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’sdefinitions for such term. The Company may use terms in this presentation that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit in SEC filings, such as “estimatedultimate recovery” or “EUR,” “resources,” “net resources,” “total resource potential” and similar terms to estimate oil and natural gas that mayultimately be recovered. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves as used in SECfilings and, accordingly, are subject to substantially greater uncertainty of being actually realized. These estimates have not been fully risked bymanagement. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered will likely differ substantially from these estimates. Factors affecting ultimaterecovery include the scope of the Company’s actual drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and productioncosts, commodity prices, availability of drilling services and equipment, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals, field spacingrules, actual drilling results and recoveries of oil and natural gas in place, and other factors. These estimates may change significantly as thedevelopment of properties provides additional data. These estimates may not be reflective of the Company’s current view of reserves.

PV-10PV-10 represents the present value, discounted at 10% per year, of estimated future net cash flows. The Company’s calculation of PV-10 herein differsfrom the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC in that it iscalculated before income taxes, rather than after income taxes. The Company’s calculation of PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to thestandardized measure of discounted future net cash flows determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

➢ Samson’s 150,000 net acres are situated down the Powder River Basin’s geological axis and strategically located over the Shannon, Niobrara, Frontier / Turner, and Mowry formations.

−Overall, the Powder River Basin remains relatively underdeveloped horizontally, particularly in key Samson areas, but that is beginning to change with more rigs running across the basin and Samson’s acreage.

−Samson is aggressively pursuing State permitting activity to secure Operatorship, and focus will be on the Shannon, Niobrara, Frontier / Turner and Mowry formations.

− Initiated 2-rig operated drilling program in 2018 that targets the Shannon, Niobrara, Frontier and Mowry formations.

(1) Reflects current industry density assumptions. Further down-spacing expected in the future.(2) Samson’s inventory is designed around 2-section lateral length wells, approximately 10,000’.

▪ The Company is in the final stages of creating the Milagro Federal Unit• Unit should comprise

over 25,600 acres• Allows for orderly

development of the Fort Union formation and deeper formations

• Samson will be Operator of the Unit with over 95% WI

▪ Plan to drill the Unit Obligation well in late December 2018 to hold the Federal Unit

▪ STIP window commences on March 1, 2019 and will not reopen until July 2019

▪ The primary benefits of forming a federal unit in the Green River Basin include:

➢ Establishes one Operator of the Federal Unit for both Drilling and Production activities

➢ Facilitates the exploration of a large area (~ 25,600 net acres) where common geological and reservoir characteristics exist.

➢ Consolidation of facilities, pipelines and access roads which helps minimize surface disturbances causing less environmental degradation and expense.

➢ Ability to operate a unitized area as a single lease which eliminates base boundaries such that production from any tract holds the entire unit.

➢ Unitization relieves the federal chargeability limitations. The federal rules otherwise prohibit a single entity from owning more than 246,080 federal acres in a single state.

The Future…➢ Drilling program will continue to delineate Samson’s acreage position in the Powder and Green River Basins.

• Focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet while delivering production growth at top tier returns to investors.

• Building on momentum of drilling activity and successes around Samson’s acreage position.➢ Excellent asset base in the Powder River Basin and Green River Basin that will generate a premium valuation. ➢ Continue to evaluate strategic options to enhance shareholder value.
