Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: EXE) has announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to Houston, Texas, in mid-2026. The relocation aims to strengthen the company's relationships with key industry and commercial partners, supporting its long-term growth objectives. Despite the headquarters relocation, Oklahoma City will remain an important center of excellence for Expand Energy's business and operations.

As part of the leadership changes, Michael Wichterich, the Chairman of the Board, has been appointed as the interim President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), succeeding Domenic (Nick) J. Dell’Osso, Jr. Dell’Osso has stepped down as a director of the board and will serve as an external advisor for a period of time to ensure a smooth transition. The board is commencing a search for a permanent CEO with the assistance of an independent recruitment firm.

Under Dell’Osso's leadership, the company experienced significant growth, with its business expanding from $5 billion to a $26 billion investment-grade enterprise included in the S&P 500 index.

Wichterich, in his new role as interim CEO, expressed optimism about the company's future, especially with the new headquarters in Houston. He emphasized that the relocation will accelerate the company's strategy to provide affordable, reliable, lower carbon energy to growing domestic and global markets, leveraging Houston's leading role as a gateway to the global natural gas market.

The company has reaffirmed its synergy, capital, and operating outlook for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, as set forth in its third quarter 2025 earnings announcement. Expand Energy will report its fourth quarter and full year 2025 operational and financial results, as well as its 2026 outlook, after the market close on February 17, 2026.

Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: EXE) is North America’s largest natural gas producer, focused on expanding the value of natural gas by connecting global scale to growing markets.
