On December 20, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Callon Petroleum Company (the “Company” and “Callon”) appointed Mary Shafer-Malicki, age 61, to serve as a director of the Company effective January 1, 2022. Ms. Shafer-Malicki will hold office until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, or until her successor is elected and qualified or her earlier resignation or removal.

As compensation for her initial partial year of service on the Board, Ms. Shafer-Malicki will receive a cash retainer of $47,500 and restricted stock units valued at $60,000 that will vest as of the date of the Company’s 2022 annual meeting. This compensation package reflects a reduced version of the Company’s standard compensation for non-employee directors as disclosed in the Company’s 2021 proxy statement filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2021.
