Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

As described in Item 5.07 below, at Legacy Reserves LP’s (the “Partnership”) 2015 annual meeting of unitholders (the “Annual Meeting”), unitholders approved an amendment to the Amended and Restated Legacy Reserves LP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) providing for an increase in the number of units available for issuance thereunder from 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 units. A detailed summary of the material terms of the amendment to the LTIP appears beginning on page 13 of the Partnership’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2015.  The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amendment to the LTIP, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

 

Item 5.07  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

The Annual Meeting was convened and subsequently adjourned on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 with respect to all proposals submitted for vote.  The Annual Meeting was reconvened on Friday, June 12, 2015, and three items were submitted to unitholders for vote: (i) the election of eight nominees to serve on the board of directors of Legacy Reserves GP, LLC, our general partner (the “Board”), during 2015 and until our next annual meeting, (ii) the approval of an amendment to the LTIP (providing for an increase in the number of units available for issuance thereunder) and (iii) the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as independent registered public accounting firm of the Partnership for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.  There were no solicitations in opposition to the Board’s solicitations.  Out of a total of 69,207,903 units outstanding and entitled to vote, 63,068,040 units (91.13%) were present at the meeting in person or by proxy.
