APA Corp

During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, none of the Company’s officers or directors adopted orterminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

On November 3, 2026 (the “Freeze Date”), the APA Corporation Deferred Delivery Plan, as amended and restated effective May 12, 2016 (the “Plan”), was amended to freeze the Plan. The Plan is an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained for a select group of management and highly compensated employees, including the Company’s named executive officers. Effective as of the Freeze Date: (i) no new participants will be admitted to the Plan; (ii) no new deferral elections will be accepted for compensation attributable to services performed on or after January 1, 2027; and (iii) no new Company contributions will be credited to participants’ accounts.

The freeze does not reduce any vested benefits accrued under the Plan. All existing account balances, vesting schedules, distribution elections, and dividend-equivalent crediting remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Plan is not being terminated, and distributions will continue to be made in accordance with participants’ existing elections.

The foregoing description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment to the APA Corporation Deferred Delivery Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.
