Viper Energy, Inc. (filing under this name; parent guarantor) and VNOM Sub, Inc. entered into a First Amendment to the credit agreement on June 12, 2026, with Viper Energy Partners LP as borrower, the lenders and guarantors named therein, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent.

The filing is brief and relies on the full text of the Amendment, filed as Exhibit 10.1, for complete terms.

Schedules to Exhibit 10.1 were omitted under Item 601(a)(5) of Regulation S-K, and the company agreed to furnish them to the SEC upon request.
