The form of proxy card included with the definitive proxy statement filed by PDC Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) on April 7, 2020 in connection with the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders contains a typographical error. Specifically, Item 2 incorrectly gives the voting options “For”, “Against”, or “Abstain”.  Instead, Item 2 should give the voting options “For All”, “Withhold All”, or “For All Except”.  Accordingly, the Company is providing a revised proxy card to its stockholders as of the record date.
