FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
SM Energy's responses to the 2020 CDP Climate Change Questionnaire (the "CDP Questionnaire"), which are exclusively comprised of 2019 data and information, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of securities laws. Responses are given as of August 26, 2020, the date the CDP Questionnaire was completed, and include discussion of potential future risks and opportunities, the Company's planned processes for evaluating potential future risk, and certain plans, objectives, expectations and forecasts. These statements, when made, involved known and unknown risks, which may have caused, or may in the future cause, SM Energy's actual results, plans, objectives, expectations and forecasts to differ materially from results, plans, objectives, expectations and forecasts expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Such statements are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are beyond SM Energy's control.  Future results, plans, objectives, expectations and forecasts may be impacted by the risks discussed in the Risk Factors section of SM Energy's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented by any subsequent Form 10-Q or other filings with the SEC.  The forward-looking statements contained in the 2020 CDP Questionnaire speak only as of the date of the questionnaire.  Although SM Energy may from time to time voluntarily update its prior forward-looking statements, it disclaims any commitment to do so, except as required by securities laws.
