Supplement to Definitive Proxy Statement Relating to 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

This proxy statement supplement, dated April 21, 2016, supplements the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of Pioneer Natural Resources Company (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2016 relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held at 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, Suite 250, Irving, Texas 75039, on Thursday, May 19, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time.

The purpose of this supplement is to correct an error in the 2015 Director Compensation Table included at page 12 of the Proxy Statement. The table inadvertently omitted the amounts of the total compensation in the last column. The corrected table is set forth below. The footnotes to the table did not change, were unaffected by the omission, and are not repeated in this supplement.
