Equity Distribution Agreement

On May 5, 2015, Mid-Con Energy Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, Mid-Con Energy GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), Mid-Con Energy Properties, LLC (together with the Partnership and the General Partner, the “Partnership Parties”), and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and MLV & Co. LLC (each, a “Manager”, and collectively, the “Managers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Partnership may sell, from time to time, through the Managers, as sales agents, the Partnership’s common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”) having an aggregate offering amount of up to $50,000,000 (the “Units”). Sales of the Units, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act), including, without limitation, sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for our common units or to or through a market maker.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Partnership may also sell Units from time to time to any Manager as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of Units to a Manager as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement between the Partnership and such Manager.

The Common Units will be issued pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-195669), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 21, 2014. Certain legal opinions related to the issuance of the Units are filed herewith as Exhibits 5.1 and 8.1.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Partnership Parties, and customary obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The Partnership Parties have agreed to indemnify each Manager against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments such Manager may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

Any Manager may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the Partnership and its affiliates in the ordinary course of its business.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
