On October 3, 2018, D. Dwight Scott resigned from the board of directors (the “Board”) of Legacy Reserves Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Scott’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company or its management with respect to any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

In connection with Mr. Scott’s resignation from the Board, on October 3, 2018, the Company, Legacy Reserves GP, LLC and GSO Capital Partners LP (“GSO”) terminated the Amended and Restated Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2018 (as amended, the “Agreement”), which contained, among other things, GSO’s right to designate an individual to serve on the Board. The material terms of the Agreement were previously disclosed in Legacy Reserves LP’s Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-33249), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2018, and are incorporated herein by reference.

On October 3, 2018, the Board appointed Douglas W. York to the Board to fill the vacancy on the Board from Mr. Scott’s resignation. It is expected that Mr. York will replace G. Larry Lawrence on the Compensation Committee of the Board and William R. Granberry on the Audit Committee of the Board.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. York and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director. There are no relationships between Mr. York and the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. As a non-employee director, Mr. York will receive compensation as set forth under the caption “Management of New Legacy—Compensation of Directors” in the proxy statement/prospectus dated August 3, 2018 and filed with the SEC on August 3, 2018, which is incorporated by reference herein.
