Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors This presentation contains certain matters that may be considered “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations and projections of the Samson Resources II, LLC (the “Company”) and its management. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including “plan”, “intend”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, “should”, “could” or other similar
- words. You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of
assumptions, risks and uncertainties many of which are beyond the control of the Company, its subsidiaries, or its and their management, representatives and advisors, that could materially and adversely affect actual results. These include risks relating to our financial performance and results, our ability to improve our financial results and profitability following emergence from bankruptcy, availability of sufficient cash flow to execute our business plan, continued low or further declining commodity prices and demand for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, our ability to hedge future production, our ability to replace reserves and efficiently develop current reserves, and the regulatory environment and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements and none
- f the Company, its subsidiaries, or its and their representatives and advisors undertake any obligation to update any such statements.
Reserve Estimates The 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’s definitions for such term. The Company may use terms in this presentation that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit in SEC filings, such as “estimated ultimate recovery” or “EUR,” “resources,” “net resources,” “total resource potential” and similar terms to estimate oil and natural gas that may ultimately be recovered. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves as used in SEC filings and, accordingly, are subject to substantially greater uncertainty of being actually realized. These estimates have not been fully risked by management. Actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered will likely differ substantially from these estimates. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of the Company’s actual drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, commodity prices, availability of drilling services and equipment, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals, field spacing rules, actual drilling results and recoveries of oil and natural gas in place, and other factors. These estimates may change significantly as the development of properties provides additional data. PV-10 PV-10 represents the present value, discounted at 10% per year, of estimated future net cash flows. The Company’s calculation of PV-10 herein differs from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC in that it is calculated before income taxes, using strip prices as of March 1, 2017, rather than after income taxes, using the average price during the preceding 12-month period, determined as an unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month. The Company’s calculation of PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Overview of the ETX / NLA Asset
- Notable drilling renaissance in the Haynesville and Mid-Bossier has occurred over the past 24 months, driven by
enhanced completion designs
─ Increased proppant and longer lateral development have expanded EURs by ~3x over historical averages; with 30-
day IP rates of 30 MMcfe/d+
- Wells in core areas of the Haynesville and Cotton Valley generate 50%+ rates of return at current commodity
pricing; competitive with any North American resource play
- Momentum is increasing in the Mid-Bossier Shale, where operators are experiencing results that rival the
Haynesville in terms of productivity / rate of return
- Activity has accelerated substantially, with 37 rigs currently running in the area compared to 14 only one year ago
- Advantageous geographic location from a transportation and end-market perspective results in premium pricing
- Ample access to service providers should mitigate in-basin cost inflation
- Assets have attracted significant attention from the M&A market; large acreage packages have transacted for
upwards of $11,000 / net acre Samson Advantages Large acreage position across the play, with 240,000 net acres Contiguous acreage position in core areas facilitates the development of longer-lateral, higher-returning wells Samson’s acreage is largely HBP (98%) and has a high average NRI (~80%) which provides maximum control of development / rig efficiency Ownership of significant infrastructure improves upstream economics and optionality

East Texas / North Louisiana Geological Overview
Key Points
Top tier oil and gas producing basin in the
United States – multiple stacked pay horizons across large area with extensive and well- developed infrastructure
Well-understood reservoir dynamics and
geological characteristics over a stacked pay geologic column with significant well & seismic control
─ Extensive technical data set; including
cores & micro-seismic, plus 1,037 mi2 3-D; 8,000 line miles of 2-D
─ Recent focus by industry towards areas with
a higher liquids component (TX side)
Mid-Bossier shale play lies above the
Haynesville
─ Similar geology and reservoir properties to
the Haynesville
─ Significant stacked lateral upside in Shelby
Trough area on the Texas side of the play
─ Maturing shale play, with ~200 Hz wells
drilled to date
The Cotton Valley and Taylor Sand plays are
stratigraphically above the Haynesville and are a series of fine-grained deltaic to barrier-bar type sand reservoirs
─ Liquids-rich; 20-35% of well stream ─ High vertical and horizontal well control ─ Stacked undeveloped Taylor potential
Additional opportunities exist in vertical Travis

Significant Haynesville Upside in East Texas Through Optimized Completion Design
Key Points
Recent enhanced completion
designs have resulted in significant increases in reserves and production
─ Offset operators have
successfully tested Gen 4/5 designs which incorporate significantly larger proppant volume, with tighter stage and cluster spacing
─ Production data supports uplift
seen with increased proppant loading and fracture complexity
Other operators in Texas have only
systematically pumped Gen 2 jobs
─ Geologic similarities between
Texas and Louisiana Haynesville should result in similar EUR increases for more advanced completion designs
─ Poised to jump the learning
curve and move straight into Gen 4/5 stimulations
─ Expect similar result
improvements in the Bossier Shale play
─ Samson is evaluating East
Texas development potential with Gen 5 completion design

Over the past 12 months, the rig count in East Texas / North Louisiana has
nearly tripled; from 14 in March of 2016 to 37 today
Activity in East Texas / North Louisiana has accelerated tremendously as
- perators continue to improve completion designs and test longer laterals
Incumbents such as GeoSouthern, Vine, Covey Park and Chesapeake
continue to report strong results across the play, capitalizing on:
─ Increasing EUR / Ft and IP-30s from extended reach laterals and
completion design optimization
─ Low differentials / high netbacks due to proximity to Henry Hub and

Overview of the Powder River Basin Asset
- Play contains 4,000 feet of oil-charged stacked pays, similar to the Permian Basin from a resource perspective
- Results thus far across numerous formations have been strong; asset is economic at current pricing
─ The Parkman, Frontier/Turner, Niobrara, Sussex, Shannon and Mowry have each demonstrated strong results
across broad areas
- Development activity is accelerating across the play; permitting activity up >80% year-over-year
- Momentum is being driven by a number of the leading U.S independents, including EOG, Devon, Chesapeake and
- thers
- Recent major transactions, including EOG’s acquisition of Yates, and Devon’s acquisition of RKI, further
demonstrate industry support for these assets
- New gas processing capacity and increasing oil takeaway alleviates historical infrastructure constraints
Samson Advantages Significant acreage position with 153,000 net acres, largely HBP (80%) Acreage falls within the core development window of a number of key horizons and is offset by Devon Energy, EOG Resources and SM Energy, among others Highly contiguous acreage blocks facilitate the development of longer-lateral, higher rate of return wells

higher permeability than shale plays and generally require less stimulation (lower capex) than shale resource plays
─ High BTU gas with attractive NGL content
for further enhanced value
Primary targets are the Parkman, Sussex and
Frontier formations
─ Near-term development upside in the
Shannon, Niobrara and Mowry as industry players de-risk the play utilizing modern drilling and completion designs
