(f)  Determination of Cash Bonus Awards for Fiscal Year 2016.  

 

 Summary Compensation Table

 

On August 22, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Lonestar Resources US Inc. (the “Company”), approved the 2016 annual bonuses for Messrs. Bracken, Schneider, and Olle, the Company’s named executive officers, based on the recommendation it received from the Compensation Committee of the Board to approve such bonus awards.

 

All other compensation for the named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 was previously reported by the Company in the 2016 Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 38 of the Company’s amended and restated proxy statement, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2017 (the “Proxy Statement”). As of the filing of the Proxy Statement, the 2016 bonus awards for the named executive officers had not been determined and, therefore, were not included in the 2016 Summary Compensation Table. In accordance with Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the Company is providing a revised 2016 Summary Compensation Table, which includes the bonuses paid to the named executive officers and revised total compensation figures for 2016:
