Diversified Responds to Share Price Movement

Diversified Energy Company PLC (LSE: DEC; NYSE: DEC) is providing an update regarding the recent movement in the Company's share price. The Company and Board of Directors are aware of the recent opportunistic report published by a short seller which repeats previously stated claims that the Company has already transparently and proactively addressed with investors and other stakeholders. This report contains numerous inaccuracies, ignores specific financial and operational results and sustainability actions, and is designed for the sole purpose of negatively impacting the Company's share price for the short seller's own benefit.  

The Company continues to focus on delivering long-term shareholder value, prioritization of outstanding debt reduction, and evaluating strategic growth and accretive value-additive opportunities. As previously announced, the Company plans to provide its year-end trading statement by January 31^st.

Diversified is an important part of the solution amid the energy transition to consolidate, and retire existing U.S. energy infrastructure assets, drive economic growth and deliver emission reductions, and remains committed to the responsible ownership and operation of our assets.
