Item 3.01.  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 12, 2015, a family member of Robert T. O’Connell notified LRR Energy, L.P. (the “Partnership”) that Mr. O’Connell passed away on May 9, 2015. Mr. O’Connell was an independent member of the board of directors (the “Board”) of LRE GP, LLC. He served as the chairman of the audit committee and was a member of the conflicts committee.

Section 303A.07(a) of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) corporate governance listing standards requires all publicly-traded companies to have at least three independent directors serving on its Audit Committee.  As a result of Mr. O’Connell’s death, the Partnership is deficient in meeting this listing standard.  The Partnership initially provided notice to the NYSE of this deficiency on May 13, 2015.  Following this notification, on May 14, 2015, the NYSE sent its official notice to the Partnership that it was deficient in meeting the NYSE listing standards.
