Explanation of Responses:

1. On January 15, 2021, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 18, 2020 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Concho Resources Inc. ("Concho"), Falcon Merger Sub Corp. ("Merger Sub") and ConocoPhillips ("ConocoPhillips"), Merger Sub merged with and into Concho (the "Merger"), with Concho surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ConocoPhillips. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") the outstanding awards of Concho performance-based restricted stock granted to the Reporting Person on January 4, 2021 vested based on target performance.

2. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding awards of Concho restricted stock held by the Reporting Person vested. Concho withheld shares of its common stock that would have otherwise been issuable to the Reporting Person to satisfy Concho's tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the performance-based restricted stock awards granted on January 4, 2021 and the vesting of the restricted stock awards. The number of shares of Concho common stock withheld was determined based on the high/low average share price of January 14, 2021.

3. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Concho common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive 1.46 shares of ConocoPhillips common stock. On January 14, 2021 (the day prior to the Merger), the closing price of one share of ConocoPhillips common stock was $47.87.
