All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company's capital budget, operating plan, service cost outlook and development plans are subject to change at any time. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this communication are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved.

The risk factors and other factors noted herein and in the Company's SEC filings could cause its actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. All subsequent written and oral forward-lookingstatements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to any such forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the presentation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

CAUTIONARY NOTE Regarding Potential Reserves Disclosures - Current SEC rules regarding oil and gas reserve information allow oil and gas companies to disclose proved reserves, and optionally probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions of such terms. In this presentation, we refer to estimates of resource "potential" or "EUR" (estimated ultimate recovery quantities) or "IP" (initial production rates) or other descriptions of volumes potentially recoverable, which in addition to reserves generally classifiable as probable and possible include estimates of reserves that do not rise to the standards for possible reserves, and which SEC guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the oil and gas disclosures in our Form 10-K and other reports and filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and are subject to greater uncertainties, and accordingly the likelihood of recovering those reserves is subject to greater risk.

THIS PRESENTATION has been prepared by the Company and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by it to be reliable, including peer company public disclosure, independent industry publications, government publications or other published independent sources. Some data is also based on the Company's good faith estimates, which is derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. Although the Company believes these sources are reliable, it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness.

THIS PRESENTATION includes information regarding our current drilling and completion costs and historical cost reductions. Future costs may be adversely impacted by increases in oil and gas prices which results in increased activity. THIS PRESENTATION references non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Leverage Ratio, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and PV-10.SilverBow believes these metrics and performance measures are widely used by the investment community, including investors, research analysts and others, to evaluate and useful in comparing investments among upstream oil and gas companies in making investment decisions or recommendations. These measures, as presented, may have differing calculations among companies and investment professionals and may not be directly comparable to the same measures provided by others. A non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure or any other measure of a company's financial or operating performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see the Appendix to this presentation for more information regarding the non-GAAP measures in this presentation. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for related GAAP measures or any other measure of a Company's financial or operating performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

THIS PRESENTATION includes information regarding SilverBow's PV-10 as of 12/31/23 using SEC pricing as of 3/29/24, except as otherwise indicated. PV-10 represents the present value, discounted at 10% per year, of estimated future net cash flows. The Company's calculation of PV-10 using SEC prices 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 rather than after income taxes using the average price during the 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 using SEC prices 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.

"We believe the 1Q earnings print from SilverBow provides strong evidence to support its case that it does not needmajor board changes. Ahead of a shareholder meeting on May

21, and ahead of a likely opinion on director changes from Glass

Lewis and ISS in the next few days, SilverBow released a strong print that shows both field execution on its oily Eagle Ford Shale acreage and financial execution with its debt reduction efforts."

Additional Observations Regarding Kimmeridge's Value-Destructive Campaign

5 5/2/2024

Kimmeridge's Proxy Campaign at SilverBow -

A Collection of Misstatements and Misdirections

Kimmeridge's

Here Are The Facts:

Misstatements On:

SilverBow's

SilverBow had +30 meetings and calls with Kimmeridge, entered into multiple NDAs and had an agreed upon deal

Engagement

Kimmeridge failed to deliver on an agreed upon deal due to their failure to obtain financing

with Kimmeridge

Emails from Kimmeridgeshow the facts - there was substantial engagement by SilverBow

Kimmeridge's

Kimmeridge's value-destructive proposal overvalued KTG by hundreds of millions of dollars

Tried to force SilverBow shareholders to bail them out of their disaster - the proxy fight is just another tactic

Valuation of KTG

Played games with datato hide how massively dilutive the KTG proposal would be to SilverBow shareholders

SilverBow's

It is irrefutable - SilverBow's 1, 3 and 5-year total shareholder returns outperform the XOP(1)

Value Creation(2)

It is irrefutable - SilverBow has been delivering strong operational and financial performance(2)

Track Record

Kimmeridge cherry-picks data to paint a misleading view of our TSRs, transactions and compensation

To try to falsely make the case that SilverBow's acquisitions did not create value, Kimmeridge:

SilverBow's

Cherry-picked an arbitrary measurement period (60 days post-announcement) to attack SilverBow deals

Acquisition

Failed to note that when our deals were announced, SilverBow's stock reaction was positive

Strategy

Failed to note that the value of these acquisitions now far exceed the value SilverBow paid

Kimmeridge's

Kimmeridge misrepresents their nominees' involvement in the KTG proposal, when they had a "special

deal" to be added to the combined company board had the transaction been consummated

Nominees

Kimmeridge makes misleading assertions about the conflicts and connections of their nominees

Kimmeridge's

Kimmeridge had a 13G on file while having active merger negotiations with SilverBow, misleading

Misleading

shareholders

Public Filing

SilverBow's

Kimmeridge promises to implement "best-in-class" governance after they have control of the combined

company, at a time when these provisions could not be effectively exercised by shareholders

Board and

Our Board has overseen consistent outperformance, proactively enhanced governance, positioned

Governance

SilverBow to continue delivering value and remains open to all paths to creating value for all shareholders

  1. As of 4/29/24. The 1, 3 and 5-year total shareholder return (TSR) represents the total return earned on an investment in SilverBow common stock made at the beginning of a 1, 3 and 5-year period, respectively. For XOP, assumes that dividends were invested when received

(2) Based on, but not limited to, SilverBow's growth and improvements in production, commodity mix, cost structure, margins, free cash flow and leverage over time

SilverBow is open to engage on all strategic transactions to maximize value for shareholders

However, we will not enter a transaction that undervalues the Company, unreasonably inflates the

value of the KTG assets and destroys value for SilverBow shareholders

(page 38)

Despite SilverBow's Good Faith

Attempt to Consummate a Transaction,

Kimmeridge Failed to Deliver

From Jan. 17, 2023 Kimmeridge Offer Letter: Offers deal with no financing contingencies

"[Kimmeridge is] pleased to submit this proposal […] for the acquisition of all of the SBOW common stock not already owned by Kimmeridge

  1. for cash consideration of $34.00 per share. We have appreciated the opportunity to discuss the Transaction with SBOW prior to submitting this Offer Letter […] Kimmeridge has sufficient capital to allocate to the Transaction and the Transaction will not be subject to financing contingencies"

In late February, Kimmeridge informed SilverBow that they would not be in a position to execute an agreement by 4Q22 earnings (March 1, 2023), as they still had considerable work to complete, but committed to being ready to execute by the March 20 target signing date

On February 28, 2023, upon SilverBow's request to provide proof of funds,

Kimmeridge responded with an email that outlined financing

"alternatives" - demonstrating that Kimmeridge did not in fact have "sufficient capital to allocate to the Transaction" at the time

On March 14, 2023, Kimmeridge called SilverBow to inform that

Kimmeridge is unable to secure the requisite equity financing to fund the agreed upon deal

Kimmeridge Overvalued its KTG Assets

By Hundreds of Millions of Dollars

  • Kimmeridge overpaid for its Laredo asset and has since been destroying the value of KTG
    • Kimmeridge purchase price of $825MM vs. current asset value of $371MM - 55% value destruction!
  • Kimmeridge plays games with their data to get to their desired result
    • Kimmeridge cherry-picked KTG and SilverBow wells to portray a misleading comparison
