Roan Resources, Inc. Announces Resignation of Tony Maranto, Chief Executive Officer

Roan Resources, Inc. (NYSE: ROAN) (“Roan” or the “Company”) today
announced the resignation of Tony Maranto from his positions of Chairman
of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President,
effective as of April 12, 2019, for personal reasons. In connection with
Mr. Maranto’s resignation, Joseph A. Mills, who has served on the
Company’s Board of Directors since November 2018, has been appointed to
the position of Executive Chairman of the Board and will assume the
duties and responsibilities of the principal executive officer of the
Company. These are both effective April 15, 2019, on an interim basis
until the search for a new Chief Executive Officer is complete.

All of the senior management of Roan remains in place and will report to
Mr. Mills. Mr. Mills intends to devote a meaningful amount of his time
to manage the day-to-day affairs of the Company. As a member of Roan’s
Board of Directors, Mr. Mills is deeply familiar with all aspects of
Roan’s business. Mr. Mills experience at Roan and his established
relationships with Roan’s management team will ensure no disruptions in
the operations of Roan’s premier assets.

Mr. Mills currently serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer
of Samson Resources II, LLC, a position he has held since March 2017.
Prior to joining Samson Resources, Mr. Mills served in various roles,
including Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions for several
public and private oil and gas companies, including Eagle Rock Energy
G&P, LLC and Montierra Management LLC. He also served in director and
executive officer positions at several other industry related companies.
Mr. Mills received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in
Petroleum Land Management from the University of Texas and a Master of
Business Administration degree in Finance from the University of
Houston. Additional information on Mr. Mills can be found in the Form
8-K filed by the Company on November 6, 2018.

“We thank Tony for his dedicated service to Roan and wish him well,”
said Mr. Mills. “I know the Company well from my service on its Board
and am excited to assume the role of Executive Chairman. Roan has a
premier and unique asset with over 170,000 acres in the core of the
Anadarko basin, offset by best in class operators such as EOG, Cimarex,
Continental, Marathon and Encana. I am very excited about the strength
and quality of our asset base, our very strong management team and
highly technical employee base. The fourth quarter wells continue to
demonstrate an attractively low decline rate under our pressure
management techniques. 15 of the fourth quarter wells have achieved at
least 120 days of production, with an average 120-day production rate of
1,036 Boe per day (48% oil, 22% NGLs, 30% gas), normalized to a
10,000-foot lateral. This compares favorably to the average 90-day rate
of 1,089 Boe per day (49% oil, 21% NGLs, 30% gas) for the identical well
set, also normalized to 10,000-feet. I look forward to working closely
with all the talented employees of Roan to help capitalize on the
opportunities ahead.”

The Board of Directors plans to engage an executive search firm to find
a permanent replacement for the Chief Executive Officer position.
