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

On July 23, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Parsley Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, increased the size of the Board from five members to six members and appointed Dr. Hemang Desai to the Board as a Class I director to fill the resulting vacancy, with a term expiring at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders. Also effective July 23, 2014, Dr. Desai was appointed to serve on the Board’s Audit and Compensation Committees. The Board determined that Dr. Desai meets the independence requirements under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s independence standards, and that there are no transactions between the Company and Dr. Desai that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with his appointment, the Company and Dr. Desai entered into an indemnification agreement which requires the Company to indemnify him to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of his service as a director, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against him as to which he could be indemnified. The foregoing description of the indemnification agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the indemnification agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference.

Dr. Desai will receive the standard non-employee director compensation for serving on the Board, including an annual equity grant of restricted stock equal in value to approximately $125,000, vesting in full on the first anniversary of the date of grant. All compensation paid to Dr. Desai in 2014 will be prorated from the date of his appointment through the end of the fiscal year.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the appointment of Dr. Desai to the Board of Directors is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 8.01 of this Current Report (including Exhibit 99.1) is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. By filing this report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that the Company chooses to disclose solely because of Regulation FD.
