BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diversified Energy
Company (NYSE: DEC; LSE: DEC) (“Diversified” or the “Company”) today
announced the launch of an underwritten public offering (the “Secondary
Offering”) by certain funds or entities managed by an affiliate of EIG
(collectively, the “Selling Stockholder”) of 7,501,585 shares of
Diversified’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “common
stock”), which represents all remaining holdings of the Selling Stockholder.
Diversified has indicated an interest to purchase from the underwriter up to
3,900,000 shares of common stock at a price per share equal to the price per
share paid by the underwriter to the Selling Stockholder in the Secondary
Offering (the “potential repurchase”).

The shares of common stock may be offered by the underwriter from time to time
to purchasers directly or through agents, or through brokers in brokerage
transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or to dealers in negotiated
transactions or in a combination of such methods of sale, at a fixed price or
prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated
prices.

Diversified is not offering any shares of common stock in the Secondary
Offering and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common
stock in the Secondary Offering.

Citigroup is acting as the sole bookrunning manager for the proposed Secondary
Offering. The Secondary Offering is subject to market and other conditions,
and there can be no assurances to whether or when the Secondary Offering may
be completed, or as to the actual terms of the Secondary Offering.

A shelf registration statement relating to the resale of these securities was
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 9,
2026 and became effective upon filing. Copies of the registration statement
can be accessed through the SEC's website free of charge at www.sec.gov. The
Secondary Offering will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and
an accompanying prospectus in the United States. A preliminary prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus related to the Secondary Offering
will be filed with the SEC and will be available free of charge by visiting
EDGAR on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. When available, copies of the
preliminary prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus can also be
obtained, when available, free of charge from the underwriter for the
Secondary Offering: Citigroup, c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, at 1155
Long Island Avenue, Edgewood, NY 11717, or by phone at 800-831-9146.

This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of
an offer to buy our shares of common stock nor shall there be any sale of
securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior
to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that
jurisdiction.
