I can absolutely provide a bit more context for the meeting. We represent Amplify, an upstream company focused on the acquisition, production and development of oil and gas properties in the United States. Their properties consist of mature, legacy oil and natural gas fields. Amplify Energy is headquartered in Houston, Texas, but one of their subsidiaries, called Beta, operates oil and gas activities in the Pacific, offshore of CA. They would like to discuss their operations off of the Pacific Coast and onshore. Please let me know if I can provide any more clarity.

As you can read below, we are hoping to schedule a meeting with Mr. Bernhardt. Mike Henry, Executive Vice President of the Alpine Group, and Mr. Bernhardt have met before, but I don't believe we have his correct email address. Might you be able to help?

If so, possible I can bring senior leaders (possibly CEO) from Amplify in to meet with you? They own a company (Beta) operating oil and gas activities in the Pacific, offshore CA. They have an interesting story and some intriguing plans going forward. I know you are busy, but I hope you might have time to meet. Thanks!! D0l_00011511_00007055 Mike Gareth C.
