Item 8.01  Other Events.

On March 18, 2013, LRR Energy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) among Lime Rock Resources II-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“LRR II-A”) and Lime Rock Resources II-C, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“LRR II-C,” and together with LRR II-A, the “Seller”) and the Partnership and LRE Operating, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“Operating LLC,” and together with the Partnership, the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell certain oil and natural gas properties located in the Mid-Continent Region in Oklahoma to the Buyer in exchange for $38.2 million in cash consideration, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. As part of the transaction, the Partnership will acquire crude oil hedge contracts that the Partnership estimates to be currently valued at approximately $0.6 million. The Partnership expects to finance the acquisition with borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions that are typical for transactions of this nature. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are expected to close on or about April 1, 2013, subject to certain third-party approvals and other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing will be satisfied.

The Purchase Agreement was approved by the board of directors (the “Board”) of LRE GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, and the Board’s conflicts committee, which is comprised entirely of directors meeting the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on March 18, 2013. The conflicts committee retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the transaction.
