**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

*The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of the named executive officers of the**Company should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth below.*

**Introduction**

For part of fiscal year 2018 (prior to the consummation of the transactions described below), our former general partner managed our operations and activities through its board of directors. Under our former fifth amended and restated agreement of limited partnership, we reimbursed our former general partner for direct and indirect general and administrative expenses incurred on our behalf, including the compensation of our former general partner’s executive officers. Our former general partner did not incur any reimbursable expenses related to the compensation of our former general partner’s executive officers for their management of us. Our former general partner’s executive officers were employed by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Legacy Reserves Services, Inc., and were directly compensated by Legacy Reserves Services, Inc. for their management of us pursuant to their employment agreements. Our executive officers are employed by Legacy Reserves Services LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary and successor by conversion of Legacy Reserves Services, Inc., and are directly compensated by Legacy Reserves Services LLC for their management of us pursuant to their employment agreements. The compensation amounts disclosed, including amounts paid prior to the Corporate Reorganization, in this section and under “Executive Compensation” reflect the total compensation paid to our executive officers. For a description of the impact of the Corporate Reorganization on certain outstanding equity awards in Legacy Reserves LP held by our executive officers, please see page 29.

**Executive Summary**

We are a corporation headquartered in Midland, Texas, focused on the horizontal development of unconventional plays in the Permian Basin and the cost-efficient management of shallow-decline oil and natural gas wells in the Permian Basin, East Texas, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions of the United States. The fundamental philosophy of the Company with respect to compensation remained unchanged after the Corporate Reorganization. The Corporate Reorganization did not have a substantive impact on our business strategy or approach to executive compensation. The compensation policy applicable to our named executive officers (“*NEOs”**)*, which was initially adopted by our former general partner’s compensation committee and approved by its board of directors (the “*Compensation Policy*”), remains in place (mutatis mutandis to reflect the Corporate Reorganization) and is designed to make NEO total compensation comparable to that of similarly-sized exploration and production companies. The goals of our Compensation Policy are to:
•align the compensation of the executive officers with stockholder return;•provide financial incentives to our executive officers for performance, achievement of goals and enhancement of stockholder value;•drive and support the long-term goal of growing asset value and total stockholder return by paying for performance; and•enable us to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers.
To achieve these goals, our total compensation to our executive officers is comprised of base salary, annual cash incentive compensation (annual cash bonuses), and equity-based incentive compensation.

***Cash Incentive Compensation***. We believe meaningful annual cash incentive compensation to be a strong motivating factor that will result in significant increases in value and in growth. Payouts of annual cash incentive compensation to our executive officers during fiscal year 2019 were made in accordance with the Compensation Policy based on performance during fiscal year 2018. For more information regarding cash incentive compensation earned in fiscal year 2018 please see “—*Components of Compensation*—*Cash Incentive**Compensation (Cash Bonus) under the Compensation Policy.*”

*S**ubjective Component of Cash Incentive Compensation*. In determining cash incentive awards earned in fiscal year 2018, our compensation committee conducted a subjective evaluation of individual officer and Company performance attributable to fiscal year 2018 for 50% of target annual cash incentive compensation. Under the Compensation Policy, the compensation committee has the discretion to award up to 200% of the subjective component of target annual cash incentive compensation based on the performance of the individual officer and the Company.

*Objective Component of Cash Incentive Compensation*. The remaining 50% of target annual cash incentive compensation earned in fiscal year 2018 was objectively determined in accordance with the objective criteria set forth in our Compensation Policy, which are based on our results and the achievement of operational and financial goals and objectives during fiscal year 2018 and are designed to align the incentive compensation of each executive officer with stockholder return by rewarding performance that exceeds the specified target levels for EBITDA (which is defined here to mean Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as described in this annual report on Form 10-K) and results in the actual ratio of Total Debt (as defined in our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended) to EBITDA being less than the specified target ratio. The respective criteria target levels, for purposes of the determination of annual objective cash incentive compensation only, are set by the compensation committee at the beginning of each year after considering management’s recommendation and the Company’s internal operating plan.

Set forth below are the target levels for EBITDA and the target ratios of Total Debt to EBITDA used to determine the objective component of each executive officer’s annual cash bonus that may be earned with respect to fiscal year 2018. Achievement of less than 75% of Target EBITDA or failure to achieve a Total Debt to EBITDA ratio that is less than 125% of the target Total Debt to EBITDA ratio, respectively, will result in no annual cash bonus awarded with respect to that particular performance measure.

***Equity-Based Incentive Compensation***. We believe meaningful equity participation by each NEO to be a strong motivating factor that will result in significant increases in value and in growth and serves as a powerful retention tool. Grants of equity-based compensation to our executive officers during fiscal year 2018 were made in accordance with the Compensation Policy based on performance during fiscal year 2017. As a result of the Corporate Reorganization, effective September 20, 2018, all outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs in Legacy Reserves LP vested in full and were paid out. In connection with the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, to ensure the retention of our NEOs, the Company made additional equity awards in the Company to our NEOs. 

The subjective or service-based component of equity-based incentive compensation (awarded as phantom units and associated distribution equivalent rights (“*DERs*”) prior to the Corporate Reorganization, and as restricted stock units and associated DERs in the aftermath of the Corporate Reorganization) is determined by a subjective evaluation of prior fiscal year performance by the compensation committee and took into consideration the importance of retaining our NEOs. The objective or performance-based component of equity-based incentive compensation, (awarded as phantom units and associated DERs prior to the Corporate Reorganization, and as restricted stock units and associated DERs in the aftermath of the Corporate Reorganization), is designed to reward our executive officers for their long-term performance and to align their interests with those of our stockholders. 

*Subjective Component of Equity–Based Incentive Compensation under the Compensation Policy (60% of**target)*. Under the Compensation Policy, equity-based incentive compensation awarded under this component cliff vest after a three-year vesting period and are not subject to any performance criteria. The compensation committee has the discretion to award up to 200% of the subjective component of target equity-based incentive compensation.

*Objective Component of Equity–Based Incentive Compensation under the Compensation Policy (40% of**target)*. Under the Compensation Policy, the objective component is granted at 200% of the target amount each year but is subject to cliff vesting after a three-year performance period in accordance with an objective performance-related formula (as set forth under “*Calculation of Vesting of Objective Component of Equity–Based**Compensation under the Compensation Policy*” below) based on our objective average annual total stockholder return and the following: 1) our total stockholder return compared to the total stockholder returns of a group of our exploration and production MLP peers, and 2) our total stockholder return compared to the total stockholder

returns of a broader group of MLPs. All total stockholder returns are measured during the cumulative three-year vesting measurement period prior to the vesting date. If none or only a portion of the award vests as a result of target levels not being met, the unvested portion of the award will be forfeited.

Set forth in the table below is a summary of the target equity-based incentive award amounts attributable to performance during 2018 of each NEO pursuant to the Compensation Policy, expressed as a percentage of each of such executive officer’s applicable base salary. On February 16, 2018, the compensation committee adjusted target levels for Mr. LeRoy based upon input from our compensation consultant and a review of market data, as described below under “Selection of Compensation Comparative Data.”

**2018 Say on Pay Vote**

The compensation committee considers whether the executive compensation program serves the interests of our stockholders. In that respect, as part of its ongoing review of our executive compensation program, the compensation committee considered the approval by approximately 96% of the votes cast for our “say on pay” vote at the 2018 annual meeting of unitholders of our former general partner. After considering the 2018 “say on pay” results, the committee determined that our executive compensation philosophy, compensation objectives, and compensation elements continued to be appropriate and did not make any changes to our executive compensation program in response to the 2018 “say on pay” vote.

**Corporate Governance**

***Compensation Committee Authority***

Prior to the Corporate Reorganization, executive officer compensation was administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of our former general partner, which for 2018 was composed of three members, Messrs. Vann, Granberry and Sullivan. Currently, executive officer compensation is administered by our compensation committee, which is composed of three members, Messrs. Vann, Granberry and York. The Board of Directors appoints the compensation committee members and, pursuant to the compensation committee’s charter adopted on September 18, 2018, delegates to the compensation committee the responsibility for, among other things, determining and approving the compensation for our executive officers and reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to our incentive compensation and other stock-based plans.

The Board of Directors has determined that each committee member is independent under NASDAQ-listing standards, SEC rules and the relevant securities laws, and that each member qualifies as a “non-employee” director within the meaning of Rule 16-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

***Role of Compensation Experts in Determining Executive Officer Compensation***

The compensation committee is authorized to obtain, at the Company’s expense, compensation surveys, reports on the design and implementation of compensation programs for directors, officers and employees and other data and documentation as the compensation committee considers appropriate. In addition, the compensation committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate any outside counsel or other experts or consultants engaged to assist it in the evaluation of compensation of our directors and executive officers.

The compensation committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“*Meridian*”) as a compensation consultant for performance year 2018. Meridian was engaged to provide advice as needed by the compensation committee. For example, the compensation committee requested Meridian undertake a study of compensation programs related to NEOs and outside directors offered by a broad peer group of exploration and 

11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

production companies to ascertain how the members of this peer group structure their compensation as a basis for establishing and maintaining an appropriate compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers and to further align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. Meridian did not provide any other services to the Company. 

***Selection of Compensation Comparative Data***

As discussed in greater detail below, central to our compensation philosophy is the alignment of the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our stockholders. It is the goal of our compensation philosophy to provide financial incentives to our executive officers to focus on business strategies designed to maximize total return to our stockholders. In addition to comparing compensation packages of our NEOs and outside directors with the compensation of their counterparts within a comparable group of exploration and production companies, other specific performance levels or “benchmarks,” as described in the Compensation Policy, were used in 2018 to establish the compensation packages of our NEOs and outside directors.

The 2018 comparable group included: Bill Barrett Corporation; Callon Petroleum Company; Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc.; Comstock Resources, Inc.; Eclipse Resources Corporation; Exco Resources, Inc.; Jones Energy, Inc.; Laredo Petroleum Inc.; Matador Resources Company; PDC Energy, Inc.; QEP Resources, Inc.; Resolute Energy Corporation; Sanchez Energy Corporation; SM Energy Company; and SRC Energy Inc.

***Decision-Making Process and Role of Executive Officers***

Compensation decisions for executive officers involve both objective and subjective criteria. In evaluating performance and compensation for 2018, the compensation consultant first provided information to the compensation committee regarding competitive market data. The second component of the decision-making process was our current and former Chief Executive Officer providing a written overview of performance by the Company, including an overview of the performance by each NEO, in light of established operational and financial goals and objectives. After reviewing this written overview, the compensation committee met with the current and former Chief Executive Officer in order to ask questions regarding the information set forth in the written overview and to gather any additional information needed in order to approve the compensation of all of the NEOs.

In determining the compensation of the NEOs, the compensation committee took into account the information provided by the compensation consultant. The compensation committee then evaluated the performance of the NEOs in light of established operational and financial goals and objectives and determined as a committee, together with any other independent directors participating in the process, the NEOs’ compensation.

**Executive Officer Compensation Strategy and Philosophy**

Our Compensation Policy is designed to provide our executive officers total compensation comparable to that of executives at similarly sized exploration and production companies.

Our executive officer compensation strategy is designed to:
•align the compensation of the executive officers with stockholder return;•provide financial incentives to our executive officers for performance, achievement of goals and enhancement of stockholder value;•drive and support the long-term goal of growing asset value and total stockholder return by paying for performance; and•enable us to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers.
In meeting the goal of sustainable growth, we intend to invest in our long-term opportunities while meeting our short-term commitments. As all our executive officers hold shares in the Company, we have attempted to maintain competitive levels of compensation while focusing on the growth of our business. Through this approach, our executives receive cash and equity-based compensation for their services. We believe that the design of our executive compensation program creates alignment of interests with our stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

**Components of Compensation**

***Named Executive Officer Compensation***

Total compensation to our executive officers is comprised of base salary, cash incentive compensation (annual cash bonus), and equity-based incentive compensation.

***2018 Performance Goals and Objectives***

For the 2018 performance year, the operational and financial goals and objectives established at the beginning of 2018 were as follows:
•Conduct a corporate reorganization;•Generate EBITDA of $341.1 million; and•Year-end 2018 Total Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.8x.
These goals and objectives, as supplemented by more detailed supporting goals and objectives put forth by our NEOs, provided a framework for the compensation committee to assess our 2018 performance and to determine NEOs’ total compensation levels. Relative weight is not assigned to any of these goals and objectives. Additionally, the financial goals were based on various assumptions, with the understanding that our actual financial performance would be assessed based on factors considered relevant by the compensation committee at the time compensation for the NEOs was reviewed and determined.

***2018 Performance Assessment for Determination of Incentive Compensation under the Compensation******Policy***

The compensation committee assessed the 2018 performance of executive officers for purposes of the determination of the subjective components of cash incentive compensation and its consideration of equity-based incentive compensation earned with respect to fiscal year 2018 based on the attainment of the foregoing goals and objectives and the performance-related factors that it considered to be relevant.

Among other relevant considerations, the compensation committee considered the following achievements by the Company and the executive officers during 2018:
•Completed the Corporate Reorganization;•Generated EBITDA of $277.5 million; and•Resulted in a year-end Total Debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.9x. 
***Base Salaries***

*Overview*

We pay base salary to attract talented executives and provide a fixed base of cash compensation. Under the compensation committee’s charter, the compensation committee determines and approves the base salaries of all of our executive officers.

It is the intent of the compensation committee to have the base salaries of our NEOs reviewed on an annual basis as well as at the time of a promotion or other material change in responsibilities.

*2018 Base Salary Determinations*

Based on the input of Meridian, our 2018 compensation consultant, a review of market data of NEOs at comparable exploration and production companies, and, with respect to Mr. Westcott, his promotion to President, effective March 1, 2018, base salaries were set at the following: Mr. Horne: $675,000; Mr. Westcott: $500,000; Mr. Hammond: $450,000; Mr. McGraw: $380,000; and Mr. LeRoy: $320,000. In connection with their promotions as of March 1, 2019 to Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, the base salaries of Mr. Westcott and Mr. Hammond were increased to $675,000 and $500,000, in each case, effective on the date of such promotion.

***Cash Incentive Compensation (Cash Bonus) under the Compensation Policy***

*Overview*

As a component of total compensation, the compensation committee chooses to pay annual incentives to drive the achievement of key results and to recognize individuals based on their contributions to those results. The compensation committee recognizes that short-term results often support the achievement of long-term operating goals. The amount of annual incentives is based upon our results and the achievement of operational and financial goals and objectives. The range and target amounts are recommended to the compensation committee by our Chief Executive Officer. For 2018, the compensation committee did not approve an increase in the target amounts for any of the NEOs.

In determining cash incentive awards earned during a fiscal year, a subjective evaluation of the individual officer and Company performance (subjective criteria) for the fiscal year that such awards are to be earned and our results and the achievement of operational and financial goals and objectives during such fiscal year (objective criteria) are considered.

The objective and subjective components of the cash incentive compensation each comprise 50% of the target bonus available expressed as a percentage of annual salary for each executive officer, as set forth in the following table for fiscal year 2018.
 **Target Cash Bonus as a Percentage of 2018 Annual Salary****Named Executive Officer****Subjective****Objective****Total**Paul T. Horne 55% 55% 110%James Daniel Westcott 45% 45% 90%Kyle M.

LeRoy 37.5% 37.5% 75%(1)Mr. McGraw was not eligible for, and did not receive, a cash bonus with respect to 2018 because he was not employed by the Company on the date of the payment of such cash bonus.
*Objective Component of Cash Bonus*

The objective component (up to 50% of the annual target cash incentive compensation) is based on two measures of equal weight:
•EBITDA; and•Total Debt to EBITDA.
The percentage levels that may be earned each year are based on the ranges of performance levels with respect to each target as set forth in the following table, as determined by straight-line interpolation.

Achievement of less than 75% of Target EBITDA or failure to achieve a Total Debt to EBITDA ratio that is less than 125% of the target Total Debt to EBITDA ratio, respectively, will result in no annual cash bonus awarded with respect to that particular performance measure.

These objective measures are intended to align the cash incentive compensation of each executive officer with stockholder return by rewarding performance that achieves the EBITDA and Total Debt to EBITDA targets. The respective target levels of EBITDA and Total Debt to EBITDA, respectively, for purposes of the annual cash bonus determination only, will be set by the compensation committee at the beginning of each year after considering management’s recommendation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During 2018, the Company achieved EBITDA of $277.5 million, or 81.36% of the $341.1 million target EBITDA, resulting in a Percentage Earned (pursuant to the table above) of 25.43% (weighted at 50%, yielding 12.71%) and Total Debt to EBITDA at year-end 2018 was 4.9x, or 128.84% of the 3.8x target, resulting in a Percentage Earned of 0% (weighted at 50%, yielding 0%), resulting in bonus amounts at 12.71% of the potential target level of the objective component of the cash incentive compensation (the “*Objective Factor*” as set forth in the table below).

*Subjective Cash Award*

Each executive officer was awarded the annual cash bonuses in the amounts determined by the percentage of target levels available, as set forth under “*% of Subjective Factor Earned*” in the table below, and the potential target level of the subjective component of cash incentive compensation for 2018 (the “*Subjective**Factor*” as set forth below). Under the Compensation Policy, the compensation committee has the discretion to award up to 200% of the subjective target annual cash bonus.

Based on the Company’s and the individual executive officers’ accomplishments and performances as set forth above, under the caption “—*2018 Performance Assessment for Determination of Incentive Compensation**under the Compensation Policy*,” the compensation committee set the subjective portion of the annual cash bonus as shown in the table below.

The chart below illustrates the cash incentive award bonus earned during 2018 for each NEO in accordance with the performance level/percentage earned calculation set forth in the Compensation Policy:

***Equity-Based Incentive Compensation – Overview***

We consider equity-based incentive compensation to be an important element of our compensation program for NEOs. We believe meaningful equity participation by each NEO to be a strong motivating factor that ties the interests of our executive officers directly to the interests of our stockholders. We also believe that equity-based incentive compensation serves as an important attraction and retention tool. Our award structure for long-term equity-based incentives employs a mix of subjective and objective measures as set forth below.

In prior years, the compensation committee of our former general partner awarded NEOs phantom units. After the Corporate Reorganization, we made grants of restricted stock units as all other equity awards had otherwise vested in full. These new grants were made under the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “*2018 Incentive Plan*”), which was adopted in connection with the Corporate Reorganization and approved by a majority of unitholders at the September 19, 2018 special meeting of the Partnership. Pursuant to the 2018 Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors (or any committee authorized by the Board of Directors to administer the plan) may grant stock options, restricted stock awards, performance awards, other stock-based awards, and other cash-based awards.

In light of the Company’s pursuit of strategic alternatives, the compensation committee did not make grants of equity-based compensation to executive officers in 2019 based on the Company’s performance during fiscal year 2018.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

***Equity-Based Incentive Compensation under the Compensation Policy***

*Subjective or Service-Based Component*. The subjective or service-based component is determined by a subjective evaluation of prior fiscal year performance and, with respect to each executive officer, may be awarded up to 200% of the specified percentage of annual salary as set forth in the tables below. Once granted, the only condition to vesting will be that the executive officer remain in the service of the Company until the end of the respective 3-year cliff vesting period. The vesting of service-based equity-based awards, once granted, is not subject to the attainment of any performance criteria.

*Objective or Performance-Based Component under the Compensation Policy*. The objective component is granted each year at 200% of the target percentage listed in the table below, but the amount vested at the end of the three-year performance period is determined on the vesting date in accordance with an objective performance-related formula (as set forth under “*Calculation of Vesting of Objective Component of Equity-Based**Compensation under the Compensation Policy*” below) based on the objective average annual total stockholder return and our total stockholder return compared to the total stockholder returns of a group of our peers as well as the total stockholder returns of a broader group of MLPs achieved during the cumulative three-year performance period prior to the vesting date. If none or only a portion of the award vests as a result of target levels not being met, the unvested portion of the award will be forfeited.

Prior to the Corporate Reorganization, all equity-based incentive compensation awards were phantom units, with associated DERs. After the Corporate Reorganization, all-equity based incentive compensation awards will be restricted stock units with time-based and performance-based vesting. In each case, these awards were up to 200% of the specified percentage of annual salary as set forth in the following table. On February 16, 2018, the compensation committee adjusted target levels for Mr. LeRoy based upon input from our compensation consultant and a review of market data, as described above under “Selection of Compensation Comparative Data.”

***Calculation of Vesting of Objective Component of Equity-Based Compensation under the Compensation******Policy***

In connection with the Corporate Reorganization, all outstanding awards granted under the Partnership LTIP, including all objective phantom units awarded to the NEOs on March 1, 2018, automatically vested in full pursuant to the terms of the Partnership LTIP and the individual award agreements thereunder. Under the individual phantom unit award agreements, such vested phantom units (and any related DERs) were generally to be settled in cash. Although no such election was made, pursuant to certain amendments entered into by the Company with such executives, the executives were given the right to elect to reinvest a portion of such cash proceeds to which he was otherwise entitled in shares of our common stock (subject to a certain cap amount). In December 2018, each of our NEOs entered into a settlement agreement with respect to outstanding phantom units issued under the Partnership LTIP (the “Phantom Unit Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Phantom Unit Settlement Agreement, each NEO that was to receive a cash amount in settlement of their phantom units became eligible instead to receive a portion of that settlement amount and forfeited, without consideration, his right to receive any remaining portion of the settlement amount. The aggregate settlement amount to be awarded to all executive officers, including each of NEOs, was $13.8 million, and the executive officers, including each of NEOs, agreed to forfeit an aggregate of $7.8 million pursuant to the Phantom Unit Settlement Agreements, each in proportion to each executive officer’s settlement amount.

***2018 Objective Phantom Unit Vesting***

each executive officer, automatically vested in full pursuant to the terms of the Partnership LTIP and the individual award agreements thereunder, in connection with the Corporate Reorganization. Under the individual phantom unit award agreements, such vested phantom units (and any related DERs) were generally to be settled in cash. As described above, pursuant to the terms of the Phantom Unit Settlement Agreement, each NEO that was to receive a cash amount in settlement of their phantom units became eligible instead to receive a portion of that settlement amount and forfeited, without consideration, his right to receive any remaining portion of the settlement amount. The aggregate settlement amount to be awarded to all executive officers, including each of NEOs, was $13.8 million, and the executive officers, including each of NEOs, agreed to forfeit an aggregate of $7.8 million pursuant to the Phantom Unit Settlement Agreements, each in proportion to each executive officer’s settlement amount.

**2018 Adjustments to Compensation Policy**

On February 16, 2018, the compensation committee approved an amendment to the Compensation Policy. The amendment to the Compensation Policy applies to incentive awards granted to Mr. LeRoy commencing in fiscal year 2019 with respect to the Company’s and Mr. LeRoy’s performance during fiscal year 2018 and provides that Mr. LeRoy’s target value of units awarded as a percentage of annual salary will be set at 100% and 50% for the subjective and objective components, respectively. As mentioned above, the Company did not make any substantial modifications to the Compensation Policy in fiscal year 2018 in the aftermath of the Corporate Reorganization, although changes may be made in fiscal year 2019 and beyond as necessary.

**Letter Agreements with our NEOs**

As previously disclosed on Form 8-K on October 31, 2018, we entered into letter agreements with three of our NEOs on October 31, 2018, as described below.

The Company and Mr. Horne entered into a transition letter agreement (the “*Horne Transition Agreement*”) in connection with Mr. Horne’s transition out of the role of Chief Executive Officer. Under the Horne Transition Agreement, all outstanding equity awards will continue to vest on the basis of, and only to the extent of, his continued service with the Company on its Board. Mr. Horne is entitled to an annual fee of $120,000 in connection with such service.

The Company and Mr. LeRoy entered into a transition letter agreement (the “*LeRoy Transition Agreement*”) in connection with Mr. LeRoy’s transition out of the role of Vice President and General Counsel and into the role of Senior Legal Advisor. The LeRoy Transition Agreement supersedes the terms of Mr. LeRoy’s prior employment agreement with the Company. Under the LeRoy Transition Agreement, Mr. LeRoy is entitled to a base salary of $235,000 for 2019 for his service as Senior Legal Advisor. He will continue to be eligible for an annual bonus and certain equity awards. Under the LeRoy Transition Agreement, if Mr. LeRoy’s employment is terminated by us for without cause or by Mr. LeRoy with good reason, subject to his performance of all post-employment obligations and the execution and non-revocation of a release, any outstanding equity awards granted to Mr. LeRoy in 2019 or earlier will fully vest, in each chase within 60 days of such termination of employment. Under the LeRoy Transition Agreement, Mr. LeRoy may terminate his employment for “good reason” if three of the five individuals serving as executive officers of the Company as of March 1, 2019 are no longer with the Company, provided that the general counsel as of March 1, 2019 must also no longer be with the Company.

The Company and Mr. McGraw entered into a separation letter agreement (the “*McGraw Separation**Agreement*”) in connection with Mr. McGraw’s retirement from the Company as of December 31, 2018. The McGraw Separation Agreement supersedes the terms of Mr. McGraw’s prior employment agreement with the Company. Under the agreement, any vested equity awards that had not yet been settled as of December 31, 2018 will be settled at the same time vested equity awards are generally settled for other executive officers. In addition, under the McGraw Separation Agreement, in connection with his retirement, Mr. McGraw received a lump sum cash payment of $2,133,210.

**Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits**

We maintain a 401(k) plan. The plan permits eligible full-time employees, including NEOs, to make voluntary, pre-tax contributions to the plan up to a specified percentage of compensation, subject to applicable tax limitations. We may make a discretionary matching contribution to the plan for each eligible employee equal to 8.0% of an employee’s annual compensation not in excess of $275,000 for 2018, subject to applicable tax limitations. Eligible employees who elect to participate in the plan are generally vested in any matching contribution after commencement of employment with the Company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We maintain an employee benefit plan that provides our employees with the opportunity to enroll in our health, dental and life insurance plans. We pay all of our employees’ health and life insurance premiums and offer certain other optional insurance programs that require the employee to pay the applicable premium. Our dental plan requires the employee to pay a portion of the premium, and we pay the remainder. We provide these benefits so that we will remain competitive in the employment market and offer the benefits to all employees on the same basis.

The assumptions used in calculating these amounts are discussed further in Note 13 – “*Unit Based Compensation*” to the financial statements in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018. Assuming all performance and service conditions are met at the maximum possible level, the grant date fair value of the unit awards granted in 2018 pursuant to the Compensation Policy for each NEO is as follows: Mr. Horne: $6,936,093; Mr. Westcott: $3,745,490; Mr. Hammond: $3,537,407; Mr. McGraw: $1,845,000; and Mr. LeRoy: $832,335.

As described above, pursuant to the terms of the Phantom Unit Settlement Agreement, each NEO that was to receive a cash amount in settlement of their phantom units became eligible instead to receive a portion of that settlement amount and forfeited, without consideration, his right to receive any remaining portion of the settlement amount. The aggregate settlement amount to be awarded to all executive officers, including each of NEOs, was $13.8 million, and the executive officers, including each of NEOs, agreed to forfeit an aggregate of $7.8 million pursuant to the Phantom Unit Settlement Agreements, each in proportion to each executive officer’s settlement amount.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

**Employment Agreements**

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary Legacy Reserves Services, Inc., at the beginning of 2018, we had employment agreements with Messrs. Horne, Hammond, McGraw, Westcott, and LeRoy. These agreements established that Legacy Reserves Services, Inc. employed the executive officers. Each of the employment agreements initially became effective on September 20, 2018, in connection with the Corporate Reorganization. Since then, Messrs. Westcott and Hammond have entered into amended and restated employment agreements, both effective October 31, 2018, in connection with their promotions to Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, on March 1, 2019. In addition, on October 31, 2018, Mr. LeRoy entered into a transition letter agreement in connection with his transition out of the role of Vice President and General Counsel and Mr. McGraw entered into a separation letter agreement in connection with his retirement from the Company as of December 31, 2018, which in each case supersede that NEO’s respective prior employment agreement.

The employment agreements provide that each executive officer is entitled to participate in equity and non-equity incentive programs that we may establish from time to time and incentive compensation will be paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors or our compensation committee. See “*Compensation Discussion and**Analysis — Components of Compensation — Named Executive Officer Compensation*.”

As noted above in “*Compensation Discussion and Analysis —Letter Agreements with our NEOs*,” Mr. Horne, Mr. McGraw, and Mr. LeRoy each entered into a letter agreement with the Company in 2018. As a result, the terms and conditions of each of such NEO’s provision of services to the Company was governed, in part or in full (as applicable), by such letter agreement. 

***Intellectual Property and Non-Compete Clauses***

The employment and letter agreements with each of our NEOs require that the executive officer must promptly disclose and assign any individual rights that he may have in any intellectual property and business opportunities to us. For purposes of the employment and letter agreements, intellectual property includes trade secrets, inventions, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, knowhow, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques and business opportunities include business ideas, prospects, proposals or other opportunities pertaining to the lease, acquisition, exploration, production, gathering or marketing of hydrocarbons and related products and the exploration potential of geographical areas on which hydrocarbon exploration prospects are located. Under the non-compete provisions of these agreements, the executive officers are prohibited from engaging or participating, with any person or entity, in any activity pertaining to the leasing, acquiring, exploring, producing, gathering or marketing hydrocarbons and related products during the term of the executive officer’s employment and the executive officer may not invest in any other such business unless prior approval is granted in writing by our Board of Directors. The non-compete provisions of the employment agreements limit the executives’ right to engage in these activities for a period of one year after termination of employment in counties and/or parishes where we do business, and limit investment to 3% of the total outstanding securities of publicly traded companies engaged in similar businesses for a period of one year after termination unless such competitive activity is approved in writing by a majority of the independent directors of our Board of Directors. The employment and letter agreements also prohibit the executive officer from soliciting any of our employees or customers for two years following termination.

The non-compete provisions contained in the employment agreements will not apply to investments by the executive officers made prior to the effective date of their respective employment agreements, provided**that the investments were identified in an exhibit to the employment agreement. In addition, the non-compete provisions will not apply if we terminate the executive officer’s employment within two years following a change of control.

***Severance and Change in Control Payments***

Pursuant to the terms of the employment and letter agreements as of December 31, 2018, we may have been obligated to make severance payments to our NEOs following the termination of their employment. These benefits are described below under “*–Benefits Payable Upon Termination or Change in Control*.” One of our named executive officers, Mr. McGraw, retired from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer of the Company effective December 31, 2018. In connection with his retirement, Mr. McGraw received a lump sum cash payment of $2,133,210.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The employment agreements with our NEOs did not include any obligation to make gross-up payments associated with any excise tax that could have been imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, each employment agreement contains a “Section 280G best net after-tax” provision, which provides that, if the total payments to the NEO under the agreement would exceed the applicable threshold under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then those payments will be reduced to the applicable Section 280G threshold to avoid the imposition of excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code in the event, and only to the extent, such reduction would result in a better after-tax result for the NEO.

*Benefits Payable Upon Termination or Change in Control*

The following table presents, for each NEO, the potential post-employment payments and payments upon a change in control as of December 31, 2018. Set forth below the table is a description of certain post-employment arrangements with our NEOs, including the severance benefits and change in control benefits to which they are entitled under their employment or letter agreement, as applicable.

***Severance Benefits***

Under the employment and letter agreements (as applicable), we may be obligated to make severance payments following the termination of each NEO’s employment if we terminate his employment without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason, subject to certain cure periods. 

“*Cause*” is defined under each employment and letter agreement as:
•the executive officer’s conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to any felony or crime or offense causing substantial harm to the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, or involving acts of theft, fraud, embezzlement, moral turpitude or similar conducts;•the executive officer’s willful malfeasance in the conduct of the executive’s duties including, but not limited to, willful and intentional misuse or diversion of any funds, embezzlement or fraudulent or willful material misrepresentations or concealments on any written reports;•the executive officer’s failure to attempt in good faith to performance the executive’s substantial job duties consistent with the executive’s position (expressly including the provisions of the employment agreements) or material failure to follow or comply with the reasonable and lawful directives of the Board of Directors;•a material breach of certain provisions of the employment agreement; or•a material breach by the executive officer of written policies of the Company (or any of our direct or indirect subsidiaries) concerning employee discrimination or harassment.
Each NEO will have a 15-day cure period prior to termination for cause under these agreements.

“*Good Reason*” is defined under each employment agreement as:
•a reduction in the executive officer’s base salary or target bonus;•the relocation of the executive officer’s primary place of employment to a location more than 20 miles from Midland, Texas; or•any material reduction in the executive officer’s title, authority or responsibilities.
“*Good Reason*” is defined under Mr. LeRoy’s transition letter agreement as:
•a reduction in his base salary;•the relocation of his primary place of employment to a location more than 20 miles from Midland, Texas; or•the following occurrence: three of the five individuals who serve as executive officers of the Company as of March 1, 2019 no longer provide services to the Company, provided that the general counsel as of March 1, 2019 must also no longer provide services to the Company.
In each case, for “Good Reason” to exist, the employee must provide the Company with a written notice detailing the specific circumstances alleged to constitute Good Reason within sixty (60) days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such circumstances, and actually terminate employment within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Employer’s thirty (30)-day cure period described above.

Under the employment agreements, if the employment of any NEO is terminated by us for cause or by the executive officer without good reason, we are not obligated to make any severance payments to the executive officer, other than certain accrued benefits representing earned but unpaid items through the date of termination. The amount that an executive officer is entitled to receive upon a termination of his employment by us without cause or by the executive officer with good reason is based on the executive officer’s salary and his incentive compensation. Under the severance provisions of each executive officer’s employment agreement, they are each entitled to severance pay in the amount of two years’ of annual base salary payable monthly at the highest rate in effect at any time during the 36 month period prior to termination, two times the annual bonus in effect preceding the termination and an amount equal to the executive’s pro-rata bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, such pro-rata bonus at such time as bonuses for the annual period are paid to other executive officers of the Company in accordance with the terms of the applicable bonus plan). In addition, the executive officers are entitled to the full costs of the executive’s COBRA continuation coverage until the earlier of (i) the 

26

expiration of the maximum period required under applicable law, or (ii) the date on which executive receives substantially similar benefits from a subsequent employer.

Under the LeRoy Transition Agreement, if his employment is terminated by us for cause or by the executive officer without good reason, subject to his performance of all post-employment obligations and the execution and non-revocation of a release, any outstanding equity awards granted to Mr. LeRoy in 2019 or earlier will fully vest, in each chase within 60 days of such termination of employment.

***Change in Control Benefits***

Pursuant to the employment agreements, we may be required to make payments to our NEOs who have employment agreements upon a change in control, which occurs upon any of the following (provided**that, with respect to any amounts that may be characterized as “nonqualified deferred compensation,” any such change in control qualifies as a change in ownership, change in effective control or change in ownership of a substantial portion of assets of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code):
•the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (“*Person*”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), (a) with respect to Mr. Horne only, of 35% or more of either (i) the then-outstanding equity interests of the Partnership (the “*Outstanding Legacy Equity*”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Partnership entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “*Outstanding Legacy Voting Securities*”), *provided* that the following will not constitute a change of control: (A) any acquisition directly from the Partnership; (B) with respect to Messrs. McGraw and Horne only, any acquisition by the Partnership and (b) for Messrs. Westcott and Hammond, of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;•with respect to Mr. Horne only, any time at which individuals who, as of the date of the agreement, constitute the Board (the “*Incumbent Board*”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date of the agreement whose election, or nomination for election by the unitholders of the Partnership, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;•the consummation of a reorganization, corporate reorganization, consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries, in each case unless, following such transaction, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Legacy Equity and the Outstanding Legacy Voting Securities immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding equity interests and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation, resulting from such transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation or other entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Partnership or all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries);•with respect to Mr. Horne only, a sale, lease, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership in each case unless, following such transaction, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Legacy Equity and the Outstanding Legacy Voting Securities immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding equity interests and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation, resulting from such transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation or other entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Partnership or all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries);•with respect to Mr. Horne only, approval by the Board of Directors of a complete or substantially complete liquidation or dissolution of the Partnership; and

27

TABLE OF CONTENTS
•with respect to Messrs. Westcott and Hammond, a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the consummation of a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets other than the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale.
If a termination without cause or by the executive officer with good reason occurs within two years following a change in control, the executive officer will be entitled to a lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 36 months of his annual base salary (where each monthly amount equals one-twelfth of such executive’s annual base salary), determined at the highest rate in effect at any time during the 36-month period prior to the termination and (ii) three times his annual target bonus, determined at the target amount in effect immediately prior to the termination. Such lump-sum payment will be payable within 60 days following the date of termination, *provided*that if the 60-day period begins and ends in two distinct taxable years, any such payment will not be made until the second taxable year. In addition, the executive will be entitled to receive an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid bonus and a cash amount equal to the executive’s pro-rata bonus for the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs, in each case, payable at such time as bonuses of other executive officers are paid such bonuses, and the full costs of the executive’s COBRA continuation coverage until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the maximum period required under applicable law, or (ii) the date on which executive receives substantially similar benefits from a subsequent employer.

**Pay Ratio Disclosure**

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Company is providing the following disclosure about the estimated ratio of the annual total compensation of our employees to the annual total compensation of Mr. Horne, our Chief Executive Officer as of December 31, 2018. We believe the ratio below is a reasonable estimate calculated in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and apply various assumptions and, as result, the pay ratio reported by us may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies. 

***Ratio***

For 2018, the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, other than Mr. Horne, was an estimated $134,434. Mr. Horne’s annual total compensation, as reported in the Total column of the 2018 Summary Compensation Table, was $12,563,418. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Horne to the median of the estimated annual total compensation of all employees is 93 to 1.

***Identification of Median Employee***

We selected December 31, 2017 as the date on which to determine our median employee. As permitted by SEC rules, we have used the same median employee as we did for purposes of our 2018 proxy statement because we do not believe there has been a change in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would significantly impact the pay ratio disclosure. For purposes of identifying the median employee from the employee population base, we considered the gross W-2 wages of all of our employees, as compiled from our payroll records. In addition, we measured compensation for purposes of determining the median employee using the 12-month period ending December 31, 2017.

**DIRECTOR COMPENSATION**

In 2018, prior to the Corporate Reorganization, our non-employee directors (other than Mr. York and Mr. Scott) received equity grants from Legacy Reserves LP valued at $100,000 in accordance with a prior policy in place at the time of the grant and an annual retainer of $40,000. 

After the Corporate Reorganization, our compensation committee recommended, and the Board of Directors adopted, a new Director Compensation Policy. In connection therewith, each non-employee director received an additional grant valued at $25,000 in shares of common stock of the Company. As such, the total value of their annual equity grants in 2018 was $125,000, which is in accordance with the Company’s recently adopted Director Compensation Policy. 

Under the Director Compensation Policy, in addition to an annual grant of shares of common stock of the Company valued at $125,000, each non-employee director is entitled to receive an annual retainer of $60,000, which is paid quarterly and began with the first quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors following the Corporate Reorganization, and $1,000 for each Board of Directors and committee meeting lasting less than one hour and $1,500 for each Board of Directors and committee meeting lasting one hour or more for each meeting in excess of the four quarterly Board meetings scheduled each year.

In 2018, in addition to the annual retainer and shares paid to non-employee Board members, the lead director, as well as the chairperson of our audit, compensation, and nominating and governance committees each received an annual retainer for their additional service. For 2018, Mr. Lawrence received $25,000 as chairman of the audit committee, Mr. Granberry received $10,000 as chairman of the nominating and governance committee and Mr. Vann received $15,000 as chairman of the compensation committee. Mr. Vann also received $20,000 for his service as Lead Independent Director and $15,000 for his service as chairman of a special conflicts committee.

Each non-employee director is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors or committees. Each director will be indemnified by us for actions associated with being a director to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

The following table sets forth the aggregate compensation awarded to, earned by or paid by the Company to our non-employee directors during 2018.

(2)On May 14, 2018, each non-employee director was awarded a unit grant valued at $100,000, or 48,076 units. On September 26, 2018, each non-employee director was awarded a share grant valued at $25,000, or 5,030 units. The amount shown reflects the grant date fair value of these awards based upon the Financial Accounting Standards board’s authoritative guidance relating to stock compensation. The assumptions used in calculating these amounts are incorporated by reference to Note 13 – “Unit-Based Compensation” to the financial statements in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018. (3)On October 3, 2018, D. Dwight Scott resigned from the Board of Directors. Mr. Scott was nominated pursuant to the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement and, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, did not receive compensation in connection with his service on the Board.(4)Douglas W. York was appointed to the Board of Directors on October 3, 2018 to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Scott’s resignation. In connection with his appointment, and because he joined the Board of Directors approximately halfway through the annual term of the directors, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. York should receive a grants of shares under the 2018 Incentive Plan with a value equal to one-half of the annual grant value under the Director Compensation Policy.

All compensation consulting services are provided under the terms of a separate engagement letter that describes the approved services and the company’s acceptance of its responsibilities. Under the terms of the engagement, BDO USA, LLP does not perform management functions or make any management decisions. Legacy must designate an individual with suitable skill, knowledge and experience to oversee the consulting engagement, evaluate the adequacy and results of the services performed, accept responsibility for the results of the services and establish and maintain internal controls and monitor ongoing activities.

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve any audit services and any permissible non-audit services provided by Legacy’s independent auditors on behalf of Legacy. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, and other services. Pre-approval is detailed as to the specific service or category of service and is subject to a specific approval.
