Proved developed non-producing reserves or PDNPs.  Proved oil and natural gas reserves that are developed behind pipe, shut-in or that can be recovered through improved recovery only after the necessary equipment has been installed, or when the costs to do so are relatively minor. Shut-in reserves are expected to be recovered from (1) completion intervals which are open at the time of the estimate but which have not started producing, (2) wells that were shut-in for market conditions or pipeline connections, or (3) wells not capable of production for mechanical reasons. Behind-pipe reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells that will require additional completion work or future recompletion prior to the start of production.
 
Proved reserves.  Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.
 
Proved undeveloped drilling location.  A site on which a development well can be drilled consistent with spacing rules for purposes of recovering proved undeveloped reserves.
 
Proved undeveloped reserves or PUDs.  Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

(i) Proved reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

(ii) Proved undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.

(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for proved undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

Recompletion.  The completion for production of an existing wellbore in another formation from that which the well has been previously completed.
 
Reserve acquisition cost.  The total consideration paid for an oil and natural gas property or set of properties, which includes the cash purchase price and any value ascribed to units issued to a seller adjusted for any post-closing items.
 
R/P ratio (reserve life).  The reserves as of the end of a period divided by the production volumes for the same period.
 
Reserve replacement.  The replacement of oil and natural gas produced with reserve additions from acquisitions, reserve additions and reserve revisions.
 
Page 4


Reserve replacement cost.  An amount per Boe equal to the sum of costs incurred relating to oil and natural gas property acquisition, exploitation, development and exploration activities (as reflected in our year-end financial statements for the relevant year) divided by the sum of all additions and revisions to estimated proved reserves, including reserve purchases. The calculation of reserve additions for each year is based upon the reserve report of our independent engineers. Management uses reserve replacement cost to compare our company to others in terms of our historical ability to increase our reserve base in an economic manner. However, past performance does not necessarily reflect future reserve replacement cost performance. For example, increases in oil and natural gas prices in recent years have increased the economic life of reserves, adding additional reserves with no required capital expenditures. On the other hand, increases in oil and natural gas prices have increased the cost of reserve purchases and reserves added through development projects. The reserve replacement cost may not be indicative of the economic value added of the reserves due to differing lease operating expenses per barrel and differing timing of production.

Reservoir.  A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or natural gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reserves.

Standardized measure.  The present value of estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves, determined in accordance with assumptions required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission (using the average annual prices based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month) without giving effect to non-property related expenses such as general and administrative expenses, debt service and future income tax expenses or to depreciation, depletion and amortization and discounted using an annual discount rate of 10%. Standardized measure does not give effect to derivative transactions. Standardized measure presented for periods prior to September 20, 2018 does not take into account provision for federal or state income tax because we were a limited partnership that allocated our taxable income to our unitholders and therefore will not be directly comparable to standardized measure presented for future periods.
 
Undeveloped acreage.  Lease acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and natural gas regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.
 
Working interest.  The operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and a share of production.
 
Workover.  Operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.

LEGACY RESERVES INC. (DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Organization, Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

Unless the context requires otherwise or unless otherwise noted, all references to “Legacy Reserves,” “Legacy Inc.,” “Legacy,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or like terms are to Legacy Reserves Inc. and its subsidiaries for the periods after September 19, 2018, the date the Corporate Reorganization was consummated (as defined below). For the periods prior to September 20, 2018, unless the context requires otherwise or unless otherwise noted, all references to “Legacy Reserves,” “Legacy LP,” “Legacy,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or like terms are to Legacy Reserves LP and its subsidiaries.

Legacy is an independent energy company engaged in the development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in the United States. Its current operations are focused on the horizontal development of unconventional plays in the Permian Basin and the cost-efficient management of shallow-decline oil and natural gas wells in the Permian Basin, East Texas, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. These condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements include the adjustments and accruals, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Legacy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(b) Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11

As discussed further in Note 2, on June 18, 2019 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). During the pendency of the Chapter 11 proceedings, the Debtors will operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company is a going concern and reflect the application of Accounting Standards Codification 852 “Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”). ASC 852 requires that the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the Chapter 11 filing, distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses, gains and losses that are realized or incurred in the bankruptcy proceedings are recorded in “reorganization items, net” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, prepetition unsecured and under-secured obligations that may be impacted by the bankruptcy reorganization process have been classified as “liabilities subject to compromise” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2019. These liabilities are reported at the amounts expected to be allowed as claims by the Bankruptcy Court, although they may be settled for less.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of the Chapter 11 proceedings. In particular, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to show: (i) the realizable value of assets on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (ii) the amount of prepetition liabilities that may be allowed for claims or contingencies, or the status and priority thereof; (iii) the effect on stockholders' deficit/partners’ deficit accounts of any changes that may be made to the Company’s capitalization; or (iv) the effect on operations of any changes that may be made to the Company’s business. While operating as debtor-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities in amounts other than those reflected on its condensed consolidated financial statements, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise

as permitted in the ordinary course of business. Further, a plan of reorganization, if confirmed and made effective, could materially change the amounts and classifications on the Company’s historical condensed consolidated financial statements.

(c) Accrued Oil and Natural Gas Liabilities

Below are the components of accrued oil and natural gas liabilities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
(In thousands)
Accrued capital expenditures $ 21,897    $ 41,227   
Accrued lease operating expense 19,849    22,750   
Revenue payable to joint interest owners 18,836    24,690   
Accrued ad valorem tax 9,557    5,255

(d) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is $4.2 million and $3.3 million respectively, and is included in the "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" line. The restricted cash amounts represent various deposits to secure the performance of contracts, surety bonds and other obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business. Legacy adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-18, "Restricted Cash" as of January 1, 2018.

(e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

None.

(f) Income Taxes

Legacy’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate plus discrete items. The effective income tax rates were 0.00% and 0.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective income tax rates were 0.00% and 4.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Effective September 20, 2018, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Legacy Inc. became subject to federal and state income taxes. Prior to consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, Legacy LP was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, in which the taxable income or loss was passed through to its unitholders. With the exception of the state of Texas and certain subsidiaries, Legacy LP did not directly pay federal and state income taxes and recognition was not given to federal and state income taxes for its operations.

On December 22, 2017, Public Law No. 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. The provisions of the Tax Act that impact Legacy include, but are not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (2) full expensing of certain qualified property acquired after September 27, 2017, (3) limitations on the maximum deduction for net operating loss (NOL) as well as indefinite life carryforwards for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and (4) limitations on the maximum deduction for net business interest expense in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Legacy has previously recorded all amounts for the income effects of the Tax Act as of December 31, 2017.

All of Legacy's income is sourced within the United States.

(g) Leases

The new standard was effective for us in the first quarter of 2019, and we adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach, with the date of initial application on January 1, 2019. Consequently, upon transition, we recognized an ROU asset and a lease liability, with the cumulative-effect of adoption in retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. We further utilized the package of practical expedients at transition to not reassess the following:

Page 13


Whether any expired or existing contracts were or contained leases;

The lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and

Initial direct costs for any existing leases.

In addition, we elected the practical expedient to not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under superseded guidance are or contain a lease under the new leases guidance.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. To the extent that we determine an arrangement represents a lease, we classify that lease as an operating lease or a finance lease. We capitalize operating and finance leases on our consolidated balance sheets through a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Operating leases are included in other property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made to the lessor prior to lease commencement, less any lease incentives, and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance leases are included in other property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets (that is, amounts capitalized in other property and equipment) and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The finance lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made to the lessor prior to lease commencement, less any lease incentives, and initial direct costs incurred. We generally amortize that ROU asset on a straight-line basis, while interest on the lease liability is calculated using the effective interest method. Lease expense recognized under our finance leases is, therefore, comprised of amortization on the finance lease ROU asset and interest on the finance lease liability.

Nature of Leases

In support of our operations, we lease certain corporate office space, field offices, compressors, drilling rigs, other production equipment, fleet vehicles and storage space under cancelable and non-cancelable contracts. A more detailed description of our material lease types is included below.

Corporate and Field Offices

We enter into long-term contracts to lease corporate and field office space in support of company operations. These contracts are generally structured with an initial non-cancelable term of two to ten years. To the extent that our corporate and field office contracts include renewal options, we evaluate whether we are reasonably certain to exercise those options on a contract by contract basis based on expected future office space needs, market rental rates, drilling plans and other factors. We have further determined that our current corporate and field office leases represent operating leases.

Compressors

We rent compressors from third parties in order to facilitate the downstream movement of our production to market. Our compressor arrangements are typically structured with a non-cancelable primary term of one to twenty four months and often continue thereafter on a month-to-month basis subject to termination by either party with thirty days’ notice. We have concluded that our compressor rental agreements represent operating leases with a lease term that equals the primary non-cancelable contract term. Upon completion of the primary term, both parties have substantive rights to terminate the lease without incurring a significant penalty. As a result, enforceable rights and obligations do not exist under the rental agreement subsequent to the primary term.

To the extent that our compressor rental arrangements have a primary term of twelve months or less, we have elected to apply the practical expedient for short-term leases. For those short-term compressor contracts, we do not apply the lease recognition requirements, and we recognize lease payments related to these arrangements in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Refer to “Practical Expedients & Accounting Policy Elections” below for additional detail.

Page 14


Drilling Rigs

We enter into daywork contracts for drilling rigs with third party service contractors to support the development and exploitation of undeveloped reserves and acreage. Our drilling rig arrangements are typically structured with a term that is in effect until drilling operations are completed on a contractually specified well or well pad. Upon mutual agreement with the contractor, we typically have the option to extend the contract term for additional wells or well pads by providing thirty days’ notice prior to the end of the original contract term. We have concluded that our drilling rig arrangements represent short-term operating leases with a lease term that equals the period of time required to complete drilling operations on the contractually specified well or well pad (that is, generally one to a few months from commencement of drilling). We do not include the option to extend the drilling rig contract in the lease term due to the continuously evolving nature of our drilling schedules, which requires significant flexibility in the structure of the term of these arrangements, and the potential volatility in commodity prices in an annual period.

We have further elected to apply the practical expedient for short-term leases to our drilling rig leases. Accordingly, we do not apply the lease recognition requirements to our drilling rig contracts, and we recognize lease payments related to these arrangements in capital expenditures on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Refer to “Practical Expedients & Accounting Policy Elections” below for additional detail.

Other Production Equipment

We rent other production equipment, primarily electric submersible pumps, from third party vendors to be used in our production operations. These arrangements are typically structured with a non-cancelable term of 1 to 3 months and often continue thereafter on a month-to-month basis subject to termination by either party with thirty days’ notice. We have concluded that we are not reasonably certain of executing the month-to-month renewal options beyond a twelve month period based on the historical term for which we have used other production equipment, and, therefore, our other equipment agreements represent operating leases with a lease term up to twelve months.

We have further elected to apply the practical expedient for short-term leases to our other production equipment contracts. Accordingly, we do not apply the lease recognition requirements to these contracts, and we recognize lease payments related to these arrangements in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Refer to “Practical Expedients & Accounting Policy Elections” below for additional detail.

Fleet Vehicles

We execute fleet vehicle leases with a third party vendor in support of our day-to-day drilling and production operations. Our vehicle leases are typically structured with a term of 18 to 48 months. We have concluded that the majority of our vehicle leases represent operating leases.

Significant Judgments

Discount Rate

Our leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, and thus, we are required to use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments based on the information available at commencement date. Our incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that we would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In order to determine our incremental borrowing rate, we utilized our current credit rating as well as best available market data, which includes public bond information for publicly traded upstream energy companies with similar credit ratings, to estimate our unsecured borrowing rate and applied adjustments to that rate to account for the effect of collateral.

Legacy has determined the discount rate as of January 1, 2019 using end of day December 31, 2018 market data. This discount rate was used in the transition to ASC 842 as well as all new leases executed within 2019. Legacy intends to update the discount rate annually thereafter on January 1 to be used for all new leases within the year (for example, the discount rate will be updated as of January 1, 2020 to be applied to all new leases in 2020). In the event a material lease is executed within a fiscal year or there have been material changes in the market that would impact Legacy’s discount rate, Legacy will evaluate whether an intra-year update of the discount rate is required.

Page 15


Variable Lease Cost

Practical Expedients & Accounting Policy Elections

Certain of our lease agreements include lease and non-lease components. For all current asset classes with multiple component types, we have utilized the practical expedient that exempts us from separating lease components from non-lease components. Accordingly, we account for the lease and non-lease components in an arrangement as a single lease component.

In addition, for all of our asset classes, we have made an accounting policy election not to apply the lease recognition requirements to our short-term leases (that is, a lease that, at commencement, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise). Accordingly, we recognize lease payments related to our short-term leases in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. To the extent that there are variable lease payments, we recognize those payments in profit or loss in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Refer to “Nature of Leases” above for further information regarding those asset classes that include material short-term leases.

(2) Chapter 11 Proceedings, Ability to Continue as a Going Concern and Covenant Violations

Chapter 11 Proceedings

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed Bankruptcy Petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases are being administered jointly under the caption In re Legacy Reserves Inc., et al. (the “Chapter 11 cases” or “Chapter 11 proceedings”).

The Debtors are operating their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions automatically enjoined or stayed the continuation of any judicial or administrative proceedings or other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover, collect or secure a claim arising or that could have arisen prior to the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions. The Bankruptcy Court has granted certain relief requested by the Debtors enabling the Company to conduct its business activities in the ordinary course, including, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, authorizing us to pay employee wages and benefits, to pay certain taxes and governmental fees and charges, to continue to operate our cash management system in the ordinary course, to secure debtor-in-possession financing, to remit funds we hold from time to time for the benefit of third parties (such as royalty owners), and to pay the prepetition claims of certain of our vendors that hold liens under applicable non-bankruptcy law. For goods and services provided following the Petition Date, the Company intends to pay vendors in full in the ordinary course of business. In connection with the Chapter 11 cases, Legacy LP entered into a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession credit agreement, dated as of June 21, 2019, among itself as debtor, debtor-in-possession and borrower, the other loan parties party thereto, as debtors, debtors-in-possession and guarantors, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “DIP Credit Agreement”). See Note 3 for a discussion of the DIP Credit Agreement.

Restructuring Support Agreement

On June 10, 2019, the Debtors entered into a restructuring support and lock-up agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with (i) the lenders (the “Supporting Term Lenders”) under the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October 25, 2016 among Legacy LP, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) and (ii) certain lenders (the “Supporting RBL Lenders” and, together with the Supporting Term Lenders, the “Supporting Lenders”) under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2014 among Legacy LP, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

Subsequent to entering into the Restructuring Support Agreement, on June 13, 2019, the Company entered into the First Amended and Restated Restructuring Support and Lock-Up Agreement (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, including the term sheet attached as Exhibit A thereto, the “Amended Restructuring Support Agreement”) with (i) the Supporting Term Lenders, (ii) the Supporting RBL Lenders and (iii) certain (a) holders of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Note Holders”) issued under the indenture dated as of May 28, 2013, by and among Legacy LP, Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as indenture trustee (as supplemented, the “2021 Notes Indenture”), (b) holders of 8% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Note Holders”) issued under the indenture dated as of December 4, 2012, by and among Legacy LP, Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as indenture trustee (as supplemented, the “2020 Notes Indenture”) and (c) holders of 8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (together with the 2021 Note Holders and the 2020 Note Holders, the “Supporting
Page 16


Noteholders,” and the Supporting Lenders and the Supporting Noteholders, collectively, the “Supporting Creditors”) issued under the indenture dated as of September 20, 2018, by and among Legacy LP, Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as indenture trustee and conversion agent (as supplemented, the “2023 Notes Indenture”).

The Amended Restructuring Support Agreement contemplates, among other things, that the Company will: (i) file the Chapter 11 proceedings with the Bankruptcy Court to effect a restructuring transaction through a pre-negotiated Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”); (ii) enter into the DIP Credit Agreement; (iii) consummate certain equity investments through a rights offering and committed equity backstops; and (iv) enter into a new senior-secured revolving asset-based lending credit facility in a maximum amount of $500 million (the “Exit Facility”) funded by certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement (or an alternative senior secured revolving asset-based credit facility approved by the Debtors and the Supporting Term Lenders, if the Exit Facility is not consummated).

The Amended Restructuring Support Agreement contains certain covenants on the part of each of the Company and the Supporting Creditors, including that the Supporting Creditors vote in favor of the Plan and otherwise use good faith efforts to negotiate, execute and implement the restructuring transactions contemplated by the Amended Restructuring Support Agreement and the Plan. Additionally, the Amended Restructuring Support Agreement provides for certain conditions to the obligations of the parties and for termination upon the occurrence of certain events, including without limitation, the failure to achieve certain milestones and certain breaches and/or other actions by the parties under the Amended Restructuring Support Agreement.

Plan of Reorganization

In accordance with the Amended Restructuring Support Agreement, on September 16, 2019, the Debtors filed the Plan supported by the Supporting Creditors and related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court. On September 16, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Disclosure Statement. A hearing before the Bankruptcy Court related to the confirmation of the Plan began on November 6, 2019. If the Plan is confirmed, the Debtors expect that they will emerge from bankruptcy during the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Plan provides for the following, among other things:

all holders of claims arising under the DIP Facility (as defined below) will receive, in full satisfaction of their respective claims: (i) if the Exit Facility is consummated, (a) on account of claims not under the Refinancing Facility, including claims under the New Money Facility (as defined below), payment in full in cash, (b) on account of claims under the Refinancing Facility (as defined below), distribution of cash and commitments under the Exit Facility; or (ii) if the Exit Facility is not consummated, payment in full in cash;

all holders of claims arising under the Credit Agreement will receive, in full satisfaction of their respective claims, (i) if the Exit Facility is consummated, distribution of their pro rata share of commitments under the Exit Facility in exchange for the claims arising under the Credit Agreement or (ii) if the Exit Facility is not consummated, payment in full in cash;

all holders of claims arising under the Term Loan Credit Agreement will receive their pro rata share of approximately 51.40%, subject to increase, of the new common stock (the “New Common Stock”) to be issued by Legacy, as reorganized pursuant to and under the Plan (“Reorganized Legacy");

holders of claims arising under the 2020 Notes Indenture, the 2021 Notes Indenture and the 2023 Notes Indenture (the “Noteholders”) will receive their respective pro rata share of (i) 2.50% of the New Common Stock, subject to decrease, (ii) subscription rights to participate in a $66.50 million rights offering (the “Supporting Creditor Plan Rights Offering”), which can be exercised to the extent that such Noteholders are “accredited investors” as defined under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and (iii) a share premium of 1.50% of the New Common Stock, available to accredited investors that participate in the Supporting Creditor Plan Rights Offering and non-accredited investors;

all existing equity interests in the Company will receive no recovery under the Plan and will be extinguished;

a $189.8 million committed equity investment by the Supporting Term Lenders;

at the option of the Supporting Term Lenders, an offering of up to $125.0 million of New Common Stock to third parties, the Supporting Term Lenders or the Noteholders; and

Page 17


the establishment of a customary management incentive plan at Reorganized Legacy under which 10% of the New Common Stock will be reserved for grants made from time to time to employees of Reorganized Legacy.

Magnitude of Potential Claims

On July 15, 2019, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of the Debtors, subject to the assumptions filed in connection therewith. The schedules and statements may be subject to further amendment or modification after filing. Non-governmental holders of prepetition claims were required to file proofs of claims by October 14, 2019, and governmental entity holders of prepetition claims are required to file proofs of claim by December 16, 2019. As of October 18, 2019, approximately 1,800 claims totaling approximately $7.2 billion in the aggregate have been filed with the Bankruptcy Court against the Debtors. Differences between amounts scheduled by the Debtors and claims by creditors will be investigated and resolved in connection with the claims resolution process.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise

The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet includes amounts classified as “liabilities subject to compromise,” which represent prepetition liabilities that have been allowed, or that the Company anticipates will be allowed, as claims in its Chapter 11 cases. The amounts represent the Company’s current estimate of known or potential obligations to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings. The differences between the liabilities the Company has estimated and the claims filed, or to be filed, will be investigated and resolved in connection with the claims resolution process. The Company will continue to evaluate these liabilities throughout the Chapter 11 proceedings and adjust amounts as necessary. Such adjustments may be material.

The following table summarizes the components of liabilities subject to compromise included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet:


September 30,
2019
(In thousands)
Debt, net $ 757,449   
Accrued interest payable 29,478   
Accounts payable 3,169   
Liabilities subject to compromise $ 790,096   


The Company has discontinued recording interest on debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise on the Petition Date. Contractual interest on liabilities subject to compromise not reflected in the consolidated statements of operations was approximately $23.3 million, representing interest expense from the Petition Date through September 30, 2019.

Reorganization Items, Net

The Company has incurred and is expected to continue to incur significant costs associated with the reorganization. These costs, which are expensed as incurred, are expected to significantly affect the Company’s results of operations. Reorganization items represent costs and income directly associated with the Chapter 11 proceedings since the Petition Date, and also include adjustments to reflect the carrying value of certain liabilities subject to compromise at their estimated allowed claim amounts, as such adjustments are determined.

The following table summarizes the components of reorganization items included on the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Unsecured Creditors Committee

a.Appointment of Unsecured Creditors Committee

On July 3, 2019, the United States Trustee appointed the official committee for unsecured creditors (the “Creditors Committee”). The Creditors Committee and its legal representatives have a right to be heard on all matters affecting unsecured creditors that come before the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the Debtors.

b. Unsecured Creditors Committee Standing Motion

On September 23, 2019, the Creditors Committee filed a motion seeking derivative standing to pursue certain alleged causes of action relating to liens against assets of the Debtors on behalf of the Debtors against Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Standing Motion”). On October 15, 2019, the Debtors objected to the Standing Motion on the grounds that, among other things, the potential value related to the Committee’s alleged causes of action would not be sufficient to provide additional recoveries to the holders of notes claims. The Debtors assert that as result, the Creditors Committee cannot satisfy its burden to demonstrate that the causes of action it seeks to prosecute justify the cost of litigation. If necessary, the Bankruptcy Court is currently scheduled to hold a status conference on the Standing Motion on November 21, 2019.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings. We have significant indebtedness and our level of indebtedness has adversely impacted and is continuing to adversely impact our financial condition. Our financial condition including operating results, the defaults under our debt agreements and the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 proceedings raise doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.



Page 19


(3) Debt

The Company’s filing of the Chapter 11 proceedings resulted in the acceleration of the Debtors’ obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Senior Notes (as defined below). Additionally, other events of default under the Company's debt agreements, including cross-defaults, are present, including violations of certain financial ratio covenants, the failure to make principal and interest payments on certain of the Company’s indebtedness, as well as the receipt of a going concern explanatory paragraph from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Under the Bankruptcy Code, the creditors under these debt agreements are stayed from taking any action against the Company as a result of an event of default.

Debt consists of the following as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

DIP Credit Agreement

In connection with the Chapter 11 cases, Legacy LP entered into the DIP Credit Agreement, which provides for, among other things, the following:

senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million (the “DIP Facility”), consisting of (i) a new money revolving loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million (the “New Money Facility”), which includes a sub-facility of up to $1.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit, and (ii) a refinancing term loan in the amount of $250.0 million (the “Refinancing Facility”);

borrowings under the (i) New Money Facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, at a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate (the “ABR”) plus 4.25% or LIBOR plus 5.25% and (ii) the Refinancing Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus 3.50%;

the Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee equal to 1.00% per annum to the lenders under the New Money Facility in respect of the unused commitments thereunder;

Page 20


the maturity of the DIP Facility to be the earliest to occur of (i) eight months after the petition date, (ii) upon the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of a plan of reorganization and the Company’s exit from Chapter 11, (iii) upon the sale of substantially all of the equity or assets of the Company and (iv) the termination of the DIP Facility during the continuation of an event of default under the DIP Credit Agreement or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement or by order of the Bankruptcy Court;

proceeds of the DIP Credit Agreement may be used for (i) transaction costs, fees and expenses, (ii) working capital and general corporate purposes in accordance with a budget approved by the lenders, (iii) bankruptcy-related costs and expenses (including restructuring fees and adequate protection payments) and (iv) in the case of the Refinancing Facility, to refinance amounts existing under the Company’s existing credit agreements;

the obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to limited exceptions provided for in the DIP Motion;

the DIP Credit Agreement provides for certain customary covenants applicable to the Company, including covenants requiring delivery of a rolling 13-week operating budget and cash flow forecast, together with a variance report setting forth material variances from the budget; and

the DIP Credit Agreement provides for certain customary events of default, including the failure to achieve certain milestones set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.

As of November 8, 2019, the Company had $28 million drawn under the New Money Facility leaving $72 million of availability under the New Money Facility and $250 million drawn under the Refinancing Facility at a weighted-average interest rate of 10.50%, leaving no availability under the Refinancing Facility.

 Credit Facility

On April 1, 2014, Legacy LP entered into the Credit Agreement. On March 21, 2019, Legacy entered into the Twelfth Amendment to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, extended the maturity of the Credit Agreement from April 1, 2019 to May 31, 2019. Legacy's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by mortgages on over 95% of the total value of its oil and natural gas properties as well as a pledge of all of its ownership interests in its operating subsidiaries and Legacy's ownership interests in the General Partner. Concurrently with the Corporate Reorganization, the General Partner and Legacy Inc. provided guarantees of Legacy LP's obligations under the Credit Agreement. The amount available for borrowing at any one time is limited to the borrowing base and contains a $2 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The borrowing base was reaffirmed at $575 million as part of the Twelfth Amendment. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the borrowing base was reduced to $570 million on May 22, 2019.

Prior to the Corporate Reorganization, the Credit Agreement contained a covenant that prohibited Legacy from paying distributions to its limited partners, including holders of its preferred units, if (i) Total Debt to EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of determination for which financial statements were available was greater than 4.00 to 1.00 or (ii) Legacy had unused lender commitments of less than or equal to 15% of the total lender commitments then in effect. Following the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, the Credit Agreement contains a covenant that prohibits Legacy from paying dividends to its stockholders, if (i) Total Debt to EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of determination for which financial statements are available is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 or (ii) Legacy has unused lender commitments of less than or equal to 20% of the total lender commitments then in effect.

The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain specified ratios or conditions as follows:

as of any day, first lien debt to EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of determination for which financial statements are available to not be greater than 2.50 to 1.00;

as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, secured debt to EBITDA as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ending of not more than 4.5 to 1.0;

as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, total EBITDA over the last four quarters to total interest expense over the last four quarters to be greater than 2.0 to 1.0;

Page 21


consolidated current assets, as of the last day of the most recent quarter and including the unused amount of the total commitments, to consolidated current liabilities as of the last day of the most recent quarter of not less than 1.0 to 1.0, excluding non-cash assets and liabilities under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815, which includes the current portion of oil, natural gas and interest rate derivatives; and

as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of (a) the sum of (i) the net present value using NYMEX forward pricing, discounted at 10 percent per annum, of Legacy’s proved developed producing oil and gas properties as reflected in the most recent reserve report delivered either July 1 or December 31 of each year, as the case may be (giving pro forma effect to material acquisitions or dispositions since the date of such reports) (“PDP PV-10”), (ii) the net mark to market value of Legacy’s commodity derivative agreements and (iii) Legacy’s cash and cash equivalents, in each case as of such date to (b) Secured Debt as of such day to be equal to or less than 1.00 to 1.00. 

All capitalized terms not defined in the foregoing description have the meaning assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement matured on May 31, 2019.

As of September 30, 2019, Legacy had approximately $313 million drawn under the Credit Agreement at a weighted-average interest rate of 9.25%, leaving no availability under the Credit Agreement. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, Legacy paid in cash $26.5 million of interest expense on the Credit Agreement, New Money Facility, and Refinancing Facility.

Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement

On October 25, 2016, Legacy entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement, providing for term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Second Lien Term Loans”). On March 21, 2019, Legacy entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below). The Second Lien Term Loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are issued with an upfront fee of 2% and bear interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum payable quarterly in cash. Effective March 21, 2019, the Seventh Amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement provides an increase of 2.25% to the interest rate paid on all term loans. GSO Capital Partners L.P. (“GSO”) and certain funds and accounts managed, advised or sub-advised, by GSO are the initial lenders thereunder. The Term Loan Credit Agreement matures on August 31, 2021; provided that, if on July 1, 2020, Legacy has greater than or equal to a face amount of $15.0 million of Senior Notes that were outstanding on the date the Term Loan Credit Agreement was entered into or any other senior notes with a maturity date that is earlier than August 31, 2021, the Term Loan Credit Agreement will mature on August 1, 2020. The Second Lien Term Loans are secured on a second lien priority basis by the same collateral that secures Legacy's Credit Agreement and are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the same wholly owned subsidiaries of Legacy that are guarantors under the Credit Agreement. In addition, upon consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, the General Partner and Legacy Inc. became guarantors. On December 31, 2017, Legacy entered into the Third Amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement among Legacy, as borrower, Cortland, as administrative agent and second lien collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto, including GSO and certain funds and accounts managed, advised or sub-advised by GSO, which, among other things, increased the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Second Lien Term Loans to $400.0 million, extended the availability of undrawn principal ($60.2 million of availability as of September 30, 2019) to October 25, 2019 and relaxed the asset coverage ratio to 0.85 to 1.00 until the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Prior to the Corporate Reorganization, the Term Loan Credit Agreement contained a covenant that prohibited Legacy from paying distributions to its limited partners, including holders of its preferred units, if (i) Total Debt to EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of determination for which financial statements were available was greater than 4.00 to 1.00 or (ii) Legacy had unused lender commitments of less than or equal to 15% of the total lender commitments then in effect. Following consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, the Term Loan Credit Agreement contains a covenant that prohibits Legacy from paying dividends to the stockholders, if (i) Total Debt to EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of determination for which financial statements are available is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 or (ii) Legacy has unused lender commitments of less than or equal to 20% of the total lender commitments then in effect.

Page 22


The Term Loan Credit Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, requires Legacy to:
not permit, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of the sum of (i) the net present value using NYMEX forward pricing of Legacy’s PDP PV-10, (ii) the net mark to market value of Legacy’s commodity derivative agreements and (iii) Legacy’s cash and cash equivalents to Secured Debt to be less than 0.85 to 1.00 until the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018 and 1.00 to 1.00 thereafter; and

not permit, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, Legacy’s ratio of Secured Debt as of such day to EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters then ending to be greater than 4.50 to 1.00.

As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $339.8 million drawn under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

All capitalized terms used but not defined in the foregoing description have the meaning assigned to them in the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

8% Senior Notes Due 2020 ("2020 Senior Notes")

On December 4, 2012, Legacy and its 100% owned subsidiary Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation (together, the "Issuers") completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of $300 million of its 2020 Senior Notes, which were subsequently registered through a public exchange offer that closed on January 8, 2014. The 2020 Senior Notes were issued at 97.848% of par.

Legacy has the option to redeem the 2020 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at the specified redemption prices set forth below together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Legacy may be required to offer to repurchase the 2020 Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, in the event of a change of control as defined by the indenture. Legacy and Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation's obligations under the 2020 Senior Notes are guaranteed by its 100% owned subsidiaries Legacy Reserves Operating GP LLC, Legacy Reserves Operating LP, Legacy Reserves Services LLC., Legacy Reserves Energy Services LLC, Legacy Reserves Marketing LLC., Dew Gathering LLC and Pinnacle Gas Treating LLC, which constitute all of Legacy's wholly-owned subsidiaries other than Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation. In the future, the guarantees may be released or terminated under the following circumstances: (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties of the guarantor; (ii) in connection with any sale or other disposition of sufficient capital stock of the guarantor so that it no longer qualifies as Legacy's Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the indenture); (iii) if designated to be an unrestricted subsidiary; (iv) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture; (v) upon the liquidation or dissolution of the guarantor provided no default or event of default has occurred or is occurring; (vi) at such time the guarantor does not have outstanding guarantees of its, or any other guarantor's, other debt; or (vii) upon merging into, or transferring all of its properties to Legacy or another guarantor and ceasing to exist. Refer to "Note 13 - Guarantors -" for further details on Legacy's guarantors.

The indenture governing the 2020 Senior Notes (as supplemented, the "2020 Notes Indenture") limits Legacy's ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to (i) sell assets; (ii) pay distributions or dividends on, repurchase or redeem equity interests or purchase or redeem Legacy's subordinated debt, provided that such subsidiaries may pay dividends to the holders of their equity interests (including Legacy) and Legacy may pay distributions to the holders of its equity interests subject to the absence of certain defaults, the satisfaction of a fixed charge coverage ratio test and certain other conditions; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred securities; (v) create or incur certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from certain of its subsidiaries to Legacy; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of Legacy's assets; (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries; and (x) engage in certain business activities. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. If at any time when the 2020 Senior Notes are rated investment grade by each of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will terminate and Legacy and its subsidiaries will cease to be subject to such covenants. The 2020 Notes Indenture also includes customary events of default. Legacy is in compliance with all financial and other covenants of the 2020 Senior Notes. However, if the lenders under Legacy's Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement were to accelerate the indebtedness under Legacy’s Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement as a result of a default, such acceleration could cause a cross-default of all of the 2020 Senior Notes and permit the holders of such notes to accelerate the maturities of such indebtedness.

In connection with the exchange of approximately $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Senior Notes for the same aggregate principal of the 2023 Convertible Notes and the issuance of 105,020 shares of Common Stock in September 2018, Legacy recognized a $1.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt, which consisted of the difference between (1) the face amount of the exchanged 2020 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the fair value of the new 2023 Convertible Notes.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, Legacy exchanged 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for $3.1 million of face amount of its outstanding 2020 Senior Notes. Legacy treated the exchange as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, Legacy recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2020 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the fair value of the units issued in the exchange based on the closing price on the date of exchange.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, Legacy repurchased a face amount of $52.0 million of its 2020 Senior Notes on the open market. Legacy treated these repurchases as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, Legacy recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2020 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the repurchase price.

On June 1, 2016, Legacy exchanged 2,719,124 units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership for $15.0 million of face amount of its outstanding 2020 Senior Notes. Legacy treated this exchange as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, Legacy recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2020 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the fair value of the units issued in the exchange based on the closing price on June 1, 2016.

Interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year. Legacy failed to make an interest payment of approximately $8.4 million due June 1, 2019, on the 8% Senior Notes due 2020.

As of September 30, 2019, there was $208.9 million of 2020 Senior Notes outstanding.

6.625% Senior Notes Due 2021 ("2021 Senior Notes")

On May 28, 2013, the Issuers completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of $250 million of its 2021 Senior Notes, which were subsequently registered through a public exchange offer that closed on March 18, 2014. The 2021 Senior Notes were issued at 98.405% of par.

On May 13, 2014, the Issuers completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of an additional $300 million of the 2021 Senior Notes, which were subsequently registered through a public exchange offer that closed on February 10, 2015. These 2021 Senior Notes were issued at 99.0% of par.

The terms of the 2021 Senior Notes, including the Guarantors, are substantially identical to the terms of the 2020 Senior Notes with the exception of the interest rate and redemption provisions noted below. Legacy will have the option to redeem the 2021 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the specified redemption prices set forth below together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Legacy may be required to offer to repurchase the 2021 Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, in the event of a change of control as defined by the indenture, as supplemented. Legacy is in compliance with all financial and other covenants of the 2021 Senior Notes. However, if the lenders under Legacy's Current Credit Agreement were to accelerate the indebtedness under Legacy's Current Credit Agreement as a result of a default, such acceleration could cause a cross-default of all of the 2021 Senior Notes and permit the holders of such notes to accelerate the maturities of such indebtedness.

On April 2, 2018, following receipt of the requisite consents of the holders of the 2021 Senior Notes, Legacy entered into the Second Supplemental Indenture (the “2021 Notes Supplemental Indenture”) to the initial indenture governing the 2021 Notes (the "2021 Notes Indenture").

On December 31, 2017, Legacy entered into a definitive agreement with certain funds managed by Fir Tree Partners pursuant to which Legacy acquired $187.0 million of the 6.625% Notes for a price of approximately $132 million inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest with a settlement date of January 5, 2018. Legacy treated these repurchases for accounting purposes as an extinguishment of debt. Additionally, Legacy recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the
Page 24


2021 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the repurchase price.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, Legacy repurchased a face amount of $117.3 million of its 2021 Senior Notes on the open market. Legacy treated these repurchases as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, Legacy recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2021 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the repurchase price.
 
Interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year. Legacy failed to make an interest payment of approximately $4.3 million due June 1, 2019, on the 6.625% Senior Notes due 2021.

As of September 30, 2019, there was $129.5 million of 2021 Senior Notes outstanding.

8% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2023 ("2023 Convertible Notes")

On September 20, 2018, the Issuers, completed private exchanges with certain holders of senior notes, pursuant to which the Issuers exchanged (i) $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Senior Notes for $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes and 105,020 shares of common stock and (ii) $109.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Senior Notes for $109.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes. The 2023 Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 20, 2018 (the “2023 Convertible Note Indenture”).

Upon issuance, Legacy separately accounted for the liability and equity components in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 470-20. The initial fair value of the 2023 Convertible Notes in its entirety (inclusive of the equity component related to the conversion option) was estimated using observable inputs such as trades that occurred on the day of the transaction. The liability component was recorded at the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The difference between the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes and the fair value of the liability component was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The fair value of the liability component of the 2023 Convertible Notes was estimated at $101 million, resulting in a debt discount of $29 million. The equity component, representing the value of the conversion option, was computed by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial fair value of the 2023 Convertible Notes. The equity component was recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity and will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

The 2023 Convertible Notes mature on September 20, 2023, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed by the Issuers or converted. The 2023 Convertible Notes are subject to redemption for cash, in whole or in part, at the Issuers’ option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the 2023 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Issuers are required to make an offer to holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes upon a change of control at a price equal to 101%, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, and an offer to holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes upon consummation by the Issuers or any restricted subsidiaries of certain asset sales at a price equal to 100%, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion rate of 166.6667 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of $6.00 per share of common stock (the "Conversion Price").

The 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible, at the option of the holders, into shares of common stock at any time from the date of issuance up until the close of business on the earlier of (i) the business day prior to the date of a mandatory conversion notice, (ii) with respect to a 2023 Convertible Note called for redemption, the business day immediately preceding the redemption date or (iii) the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. In addition, if a holder exercises its right to convert on or prior to September 19, 2019, such holder will receive an early conversion payment, in cash, per $1,000 principal amount as follows:

Early Conversion Date Early Conversion Payment
December 1, 2018 through May 31, 2019 $64.22
June 1, 2019 through September 19, 2019 $24.22

Subject to compliance with certain conditions, the Issuers have the right to mandatorily convert all of the 2023 Convertible Notes if the volume weighted average price of the common stock equals or exceeds the conversion price for at least
Page 25


20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any period of 30 consecutive trading days commencing on or after the initial issuance date.

The 2023 Convertible Notes are guaranteed by Legacy Inc., the General Partner, Legacy Reserves Operating GP LLC, Legacy Reserves Operating LP, Legacy Reserves Services LLC, Legacy Reserves Energy Services LLC, Legacy Reserves Marketing LLC, Dew Gathering LLC and Pinnacle Gas Treating LLC.

The terms of the 2023 Convertible Notes, including the Guarantors, are substantially identical to the terms of the 2020 Senior Notes and 2021 Senior Notes with the exception of the interest rate, conversion and redemption provisions noted above.

As of September 30, 2019, $107.5 million of 2023 Convertible Notes were outstanding.

Interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year. Legacy failed to make an interest payment of approximately $4.3 million due June 1, 2019, on the 8% Senior Notes due 2023.

(4) Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenues are generally recognized at the point in time that control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. This generally occurs when oil or natural gas has been delivered to a pipeline or truck. A more detailed summary of the sale of each product type is included below.

Oil Sales

Legacy's oil sales contracts are generally structured such that Legacy sells its oil production to the purchaser at a contractually specified delivery point at or near the wellhead. The crude oil production is priced on the delivery date based upon prevailing index prices less certain deductions related to oil quality and physical location. Legacy recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser upon delivery at the net price received from purchaser.

NGL and Natural Gas Sales

Under Legacy's gas processing contracts, Legacy delivers wet gas to a midstream processing entity at the wellhead or the inlet of the midstream processing entity’s system. The midstream processing entity processes the natural gas and remits proceeds to Legacy for the resulting sales of NGLs and residue gas. In these scenarios, Legacy evaluates whether it is the principal or the agent in the transaction. In virtually all of Legacy's gas processing contracts, Legacy has concluded that it is the agent, and the midstream processing entity is Legacy's customer. Accordingly, Legacy recognizes revenue upon delivery based on the net amount of the proceeds received from the midstream processing entity. Proceeds are generally tied to the prevailing index prices for residue gas and NGLs less deductions for gathering, processing, transportation and other expenses.

Under Legacy's dry gas sales that do not require processing, Legacy sells its natural gas production to third party purchasers at a contractually specified delivery point at or near the wellhead. Pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain deductions based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, quality of natural gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions, so that the price of the natural gas fluctuates to remain competitive with other available natural gas supplies. Legacy recognizes revenue upon delivery of the natural gas to third party purchasers based on the relevant index price net of deductions.

Imbalances

Natural gas imbalances occur when Legacy sells more or less than its entitled ownership percentage of total natural gas production. Any amount received in excess of its share is treated as a liability. If Legacy receives less than its entitled share, the underproduction is recorded as a receivable. Legacy did not have any significant natural gas imbalance positions as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Page 26


Disaggregation of Revenue

Legacy has identified three material revenue streams in its business: oil sales, NGL sales, and natural gas sales. Revenue attributable to each of Legacy's identified revenue streams is disaggregated in the table below.
Three Months Ended
Nine Months Ended
September 30,
2019 2019
(In thousands)
Revenues:
Oil sales $ 72,902    $ 239,038   
Natural gas liquids (NGL) sales 2,926    11,435   
Natural gas sales 21,675    83,306   
Total revenues $ 97,503    $ 333,779   

Significant Judgments

Principal versus agent

Legacy engages in various types of transactions in which midstream entities process its gas and subsequently market resulting NGLs and residue gas to third-party customers on Legacy's behalf, such as Legacy's percentage-of-proceeds and gas purchase contracts. These types of transactions require judgment to determine whether Legacy is the principal or the agent in the contract and, as a result, whether revenues are recorded gross or net.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

A significant number of Legacy's product sales are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, Legacy has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606 that exempts it from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

For Legacy's product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, Legacy has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606 that states that it is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation; therefore future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

Contract balances

Under Legacy's product sales contracts, it is entitled to payment from purchasers once its performance obligations have been satisfied upon delivery of the product, at which point payment is unconditional, and record invoiced amounts as “Accounts receivable - oil and natural gas” in its consolidated balance sheet.

To the extent actual volumes and prices of oil and natural gas are unavailable for a given reporting period because of timing or information not received from third parties, the expected sales volumes and prices for those properties are estimated and also recorded as “Accounts receivable - oil and natural gas” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In this scenario, payment is also unconditional, as Legacy has satisfied its performance obligations through delivery of the relevant product. As a result, Legacy has concluded that its product sales do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606.

Prior-period performance obligations

Legacy records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements for certain oil, natural gas and NGL sales may not be received for 30 to 60 days after the month of production, and as a result, Legacy is required to estimate the amount of production that was delivered to the midstream purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. Additionally, to the extent actual volumes and prices of oil are unavailable for a given reporting period because of timing or information not received from third party purchasers, the expected sales volumes and prices for those barrels of oil are also estimated.

Page 27


Legacy records the differences between its estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Legacy has existing internal controls in place for its estimation process, and any identified differences between its revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have not been significant. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.

(5) Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, Legacy is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, Legacy is not currently a party to any proceeding that it believes could have a potential material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Legacy is subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. To the extent laws are enacted or other governmental action is taken that restricts drilling or imposes environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs to the oil and natural gas industry in general, the business and prospects of Legacy could be adversely affected.

Legacy has employment agreements with its executive officers. The employment agreements with its executive officers specify that if the executive officer is terminated by Legacy for other than cause or following a change in control or by the executive officer for good reason, the executive officer shall receive severance pay ranging from 12 to 36 months’ salary plus bonus and COBRA benefits, respectively.

(6) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Legacy considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
 
Level 2:
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that Legacy values using observable market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the derivative instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swaps and collars and interest rate swaps as well as long-term incentive plan liabilities calculated using the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value as of the measurement date.
 
Level 3:
Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). Legacy’s valuation models are primarily industry standard models that consider various inputs including: (a) quoted forward prices for commodities, (b) time value, and (c) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Level 3 instruments currently are limited to Midland-Cushing crude oil differential swaps. Although Legacy utilizes third party broker quotes to assess the reasonableness of its prices and valuation techniques, Legacy does not have sufficient corroborating evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Legacy’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As required by the Twelfth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, all of Legacy’s derivative positions were unwound on May 28, 2019. Legacy entered into new derivative positions following approval from the Bankruptcy Court on July 25, 2019.

The following tables sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy Legacy's Financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Legacy estimates the fair values of the commodity derivatives based on published forward commodity price curves for the underlying commodities as of the date of the estimate for those commodities for which published forward pricing is readily available. For those commodity derivatives for which forward commodity price curves are not readily available, Legacy estimates, with the assistance of third-party pricing experts, the forward curves as of the date of the estimate. Legacy validates the data provided by third parties by understanding the pricing models used, obtaining market values from other pricing sources, analyzing pricing data in certain situations and confirming, where applicable, that those securities trade in active markets. Legacy estimates the option value of puts and calls combined into hedges, including three-way collars and enhanced swaps, using an option pricing model which takes into account market volatility, market prices, contract parameters and discount rates based on published London interbank offered rates ("LIBOR") and interest rate swaps. Due to the lack of an active market for periods beyond one-month from the balance sheet date for its oil price differential swaps, Legacy has reviewed historical differential prices and known economic influences to estimate a reasonable forward curve of future pricing scenarios based upon these factors. In order to estimate the fair value of our interest rate swaps, Legacy uses a yield curve based on money market rates and interest rate swaps, extrapolates a forecast of future interest rates, estimates each future cash flow, derives discount factors to value the fixed and floating rate cash flows of each swap, and then discounts to present value all known (fixed) and forecasted (floating) swap cash flows. Curve building and discounting techniques used to establish the theoretical market value of interest bearing securities are based on readily available money market rates and interest swap market data. The determination of the fair values above incorporates various factors including the impact of our non-performance risk and the credit standing of the counterparties involved in Legacy’s derivative contracts. The risk of nonperformance by Legacy’s counterparties is mitigated by the fact that most of our current counterparties (or their affiliates) are also current or former bank lenders under the Legacy’s revolving credit facility. In addition, Legacy routinely monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties. As the factors described above are based on significant assumptions made by management, these assumptions are the most sensitive to change.

During periods of market disruption, including periods of volatile oil and natural gas prices, rapid credit contraction or
illiquidity, it may be difficult to value certain of Legacy's derivative instruments if trading becomes less frequent and/or
market data becomes less observable. There may be certain asset classes that were previously in active markets with observable data that become illiquid due to changes in the financial environment. In such cases, more derivative instruments may fall to Level 3 and thus require more subjectivity and management judgment. As such, valuations may include inputs and assumptions that are less observable or require greater estimation as well as valuation methods which are more sophisticated or require greater estimation thereby resulting in valuations with less certainty. Further, rapidly changing commodity and unprecedented credit and equity market conditions could materially impact the valuation of derivative instruments as reported within Legacy's consolidated financial statements and the period-to-period changes in value could vary significantly. Decreases in value may have a material adverse effect on Legacy's results of operations or financial condition.

Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities as may be acquired in a business combination and thereby measured at fair value; measurements of oil and natural gas property impairments; and the initial recognition of asset retirement obligations ("ARO") for which fair value is used. These ARO estimates are derived from historical costs as well as management’s expectation of future cost environments. As there is no corroborating market activity to support the assumptions used, Legacy has designated these liabilities as Level 3. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of Legacy’s asset retirement obligation is presented in Note 8.

Nonrecurring fair value measurements of proved oil and natural gas properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consist of adjustments of the carrying value oil and natural gas properties to their fair value of $75.4 million. Legacy incurred impairment charges of $105.5 million as oil and natural gas properties with a net cost basis of $180.9 million were written down to their fair value of $75.4 million. Legacy periodically reviews oil and natural gas properties for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. In order to determine whether the carrying value of an asset is recoverable, Legacy compares net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows using management’s expectations of future oil and natural gas prices. These future price scenarios reflect Legacy’s estimation of future price volatility. If the net capitalized cost exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows, Legacy writes the net cost basis down to the discounted future net cash flows, which is management's estimate of fair value. Significant inputs used to determine the fair value include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future operating and development costs; (iii) future commodity prices; and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The underlying commodity prices embedded in the Company's estimated cash flows are the product of a process that begins with NYMEX forward curve pricing, adjusted for estimated location and quality differentials, as well as other factors that Legacy's management believes will impact realizable prices. The inputs used by management for the fair value measurements utilized in this review include significant unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurements employed are classified as Level 3 for these types of assets.

The carrying amount of the revolving debt of $313 million and refinancing facility of $250 million as of September 30, 2019 approximates fair value because Legacy's current borrowing rate does not materially differ from market rates for similar bank borrowings. Legacy has classified the revolving debt as a Level 2 item within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount of the second lien term loan debt under Legacy’s Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement approximates fair value because Legacy’s current borrowing rate does not materially differ from market rates for similar borrowings. Legacy has classified the Second Lien Term Loans as a Level 2 item within the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2019, the fair values of the 2020 Senior Notes, the 2021 Senior Notes and the 2023 Convertible Notes were $9.4 million, $3.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively. As these valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market, the fair values are classified as Level 1 items within the fair value hierarchy.

(7) Derivative Financial Instruments

Commodity derivative transactions

Due to the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, Legacy periodically enters into price-risk management transactions (e.g., swaps, enhanced swaps or collars) for a portion of its oil and natural gas production to achieve a more predictable cash flow, as well as to reduce exposure from price fluctuations. While the use of these arrangements limits Legacy’s ability to benefit from increases in the prices of oil and natural gas, it also reduces Legacy’s potential exposure to adverse price movements. Legacy’s arrangements, to the extent it enters into any, apply to only a portion of its production, provide only partial price protection against declines in oil and natural gas prices and limit Legacy’s potential gains from future increases in prices. None of these instruments are used for trading or speculative purposes.
 
These derivative instruments are intended to mitigate a portion of Legacy’s price-risk and may be considered hedges for
economic purposes, but Legacy has chosen not to designate them as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Therefore, all
derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in current period
earnings.
 
By using derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to changes in commodity prices, Legacy exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes Legacy, which creates credit risk. Legacy minimizes the credit or repayment risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.
 
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the changes in fair value of Legacy's commodity derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Time Period Volumes (MMBtu) Average Price per MMBtu Price per MMBtu
October - December 2019 2,576,000    $(0.85)   $(0.85)  

Interest rate derivative transactions

Due to the volatility of interest rates, Legacy periodically enters into interest rate risk management transactions in the form of interest rate swaps for a portion of its outstanding debt balance. These transactions allow Legacy to reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations. While the use of these arrangements limits Legacy’s ability to benefit from decreases in interest rates, it also reduces Legacy’s potential exposure to increases in interest rates. Legacy’s arrangements, to the extent it enters into any, apply to only a portion of its outstanding debt balance, provide only partial protection against interest rate increases and limit Legacy’s potential savings from future interest rate declines. It is never management’s intention to hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. Conditions sometimes arise where actual borrowings are less than notional amounts hedged, which has, and could result in overhedged amounts.

Legacy does not designate these derivatives as cash flow hedges, even though they reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates. Therefore, the mark-to-market of these instruments is recorded in current earnings as a component of interest expense. The total impact on interest expense from the mark-to-market and settlements was as follows:

(8) Asset Retirement Obligation
 
An asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset is recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable. When liabilities for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related oil and natural gas properties is increased. The fair value of the additions to the ARO asset and liability is estimated using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include estimates of: (i) plug and abandon costs per well based on existing regulatory requirements; (ii) remaining life per well; (iii) future inflation factors; and (iv) a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by Legacy's management at the time of the valuation and are the most sensitive and subject to change. Accretion of the liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation, and the capitalized cost is depleted using the units of production method. Should either the estimated life or the estimated abandonment costs of a property change materially upon Legacy’s periodic review, a new calculation is performed using the same methodology of taking the abandonment cost and inflating it forward to its abandonment date and then discounting it back to the present using Legacy’s credit-adjusted-risk-free rate. The carrying value of the ARO is adjusted to the newly calculated value, with a corresponding offsetting adjustment to the asset retirement cost. When obligations are relieved by sale of the property or plugging and abandoning the well, the related liability and asset costs are removed from Legacy's balance sheet. Any difference in the cost to plug and the related liability is recorded as a gain or loss on Legacy's statement of operations in the disposal of assets line item.

(10) Stock-Based Compensation
 
Legacy LP Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
On March 15, 2006, a Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, “Legacy LP LTIP”) for Legacy was created and Legacy adopted the Legacy LP LTIP for its employees, consultants and directors, its affiliates and its general partner. The awards under the long-term incentive plan may include unit grants, restricted units, phantom units, unit options and unit appreciation rights (“UARs”). The Legacy LP LTIP permits the grant of awards that may be made or settled in units up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 units.

As of September 30, 2018, grants of awards net of forfeitures and, in the case of phantom units, historical exercises covering 3,459,197 units had been made, comprised of 266,014 unit option awards, 988,207 restricted unit awards, 1,424,114 phantom unit awards and 780,862 unit awards.

Pursuant to the terms of the Corporate Reorganization, the Legacy LP LTIP was terminated.
 
Unit Appreciation Rights

Legacy LP previously issued UARs under the Legacy LP LTIP to employees. A unit appreciation right is a notional unit that entitles the holder, upon vesting, to receive cash valued at the difference between the closing price of units on the exercise date and the exercise price, as determined on the date of grant. Because these awards were settled in cash, Legacy accounted for the UARs by utilizing the liability method.

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2018, Legacy recorded $(0.2) million of compensation (benefit) expense due to the change in liability from December 31, 2017, based on its use of the Black-Scholes model to estimate the September 30, 2018 fair value of these UARs.

Legacy LP did not issue UARs to employees during the year ended December 31, 2018. All outstanding UARs vested on September 20, 2018 in connection with the Corporate Reorganization and were subsequently exercised or forfeited.

Phantom Units

Legacy LP previously issued phantom units under the Legacy LP LTIP to executive officers. A phantom unit is a notional unit that entitles the holder, upon vesting, to receive either one Partnership unit for each phantom unit or the cash equivalent of a Partnership unit, as stipulated by the form of the grant. Legacy accounted for the phantom units settled in Partnership units by utilizing the equity method. Legacy accounted for the phantom units settled in cash by utilizing the liability method. On September 20, 2018, in connection with the Corporate Reorganization, 391,674 Phantom units that settle in cash and 1,032,440 phantom units that settle in units vested.

Compensation expense related to the phantom units was $30.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. All phantom units vested on September 20, 2018 in connection with the Corporate Reorganization.

Restricted Units

Legacy LP previously issued restricted units to certain employees and members of management. All restricted units vested on September 20, 2018 in connection with the Corporate Reorganization.

Compensation expense related to restricted units was $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Board Units

On May 15, 2018, Legacy granted and issued 12,450 units to four non-employee directors of Legacy LP who serve on the Board of Directors of Legacy and 6,010 units to two non-employee directors of Legacy LP who, after the corporate reorganization, do not serve on the Board of Directors of Legacy Inc. The value of each unit was $8.69 at the time of issuance.

Legacy Reserves Inc. 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan

On September 19, 2018, the Legacy Inc. 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Legacy Inc. LTIP") was approved by the former unitholders of Legacy LP in connection with the Corporate Reorganization for it and its affiliates' employees, consultants and directors. The Legacy Inc. LTIP provides for up to 10,500,000 shares (the "Share Reserve") to be used for awards, and that the Share Reserve will increase proportionately by 10% of all shares of common stock issued by Legacy Inc. after the effective date of the Legacy Inc. LTIP and before the first anniversary of the effective date. The awards under the Legacy Inc. LTIP may include stock grants, restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and stock options. As of September 30, 2019, grants of awards net of forfeitures covering 7,679,761 shares had been made, compromised of 7,647,191 restricted stock units and 32,570 stock awards.

Restricted Stock Units

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Legacy issued an aggregate 516,594 RSUs to executive and non-executive employees. The RSUs vest over a three-year period. Non-cash compensation expense related to the RSUs was $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. RSUs are accounted for under the equity method.

The following table summarizes the status of RSU activity since January 1, 2019: 

Number of Restricted Stock Units Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2019 7,302,809    $ 4.88   
Granted 516,594    $ 1.32   
Cancelled/Forfeited (172,212)   $ 4.11   
Outstanding at September 30, 2019 7,647,191    $ 4.66   

As of September 30, 2019, there was a total of $19.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of these RSUs. At September 30, 2019, this cost was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.48 years. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC 718, Legacy’s issued shares, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2019, do not include 7,647,191 shares related to unvested RSUs.

Board Shares

On September 25, 2018, Legacy granted and issued 5,030 shares to four non-employee directors who serve on the Board of Directors of Legacy in accordance with Legacy's director compensation policy. The value of each share was $4.97 at the time of issuance.

On October 16, 2018, Legacy granted and issued 12,450 shares to one non-employee director who serves on the Board of Directors of Legacy in accordance with Legacy's director compensation policy. The value of each share was $5.02 at the time of issuance.

(11) Income Taxes

Effective September 20, 2018, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Legacy Inc. became subject to federal and state income taxes. Prior to consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, Legacy LP was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, in which the taxable income or loss was passed through to its unitholders. Legacy LP was subject to Texas margin tax. In addition, certain of Legacy LP’s subsidiaries were c-corporations subject to federal and state income taxes. Therefore, with the exception of the state of Texas and certain subsidiaries, Legacy LP did not directly pay federal and state income taxes and recognition was not given to federal and state income taxes for its operations.

On December 22, 2017, Public Law No. 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. The provisions of the Tax Act that impact us include, but are not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (2) temporary bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of certain qualified property acquired after September 27, 2017, (3) limitations on the maximum deduction for net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, to 80 percent of a taxpayer’s taxable income and (4)
Page 37


limitations on the maximum deduction for net business interest expense in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, to 30% of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income. We have previously reported preliminary amounts for the income effects of the Tax Act for Legacy as of December 31, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 we recorded income/(loss) before income taxes of $(277,377) and $(31,063) respectively. All of Legacy's income is sourced within the United States. The effective combined U.S. federal and state income tax rates were 0.00% and negative 10.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Legacy Inc. has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax position. A valuation allowance has been recorded as management does not believe that it is more-likely-than-not that its deferred tax assets will be realized.

(12) Leases

As previously described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we lease certain office space, office equipment, production field offices, compressors, drilling rigs, vehicles and other production equipment under cancellable and non-cancelable leases to support our operations.

Chapter 11 Proceedings

On June 13, 2019, the Debtors entered into the First Amended and Restated Restructuring Support and Lock-up Agreement (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, including the term sheet attached as Exhibit A thereto, the “Amended Restructuring Support Agreement”) with (i) the lenders (the “Supporting Term Lenders”) under the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October 25, 2016 among Legacy LP, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), (ii) certain lenders (the “Supporting RBL Lenders” and, together with the Supporting Term Lenders, the “Supporting Lenders”) under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2014 among Legacy LP, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) and (iii) certain (a) holders of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Note Holders”) issued under the indenture dated as of May 28, 2013, by and among Legacy LP, Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as indenture trustee (as supplemented, the “2021 Notes Indenture”), (b) holders of 8% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Note Holders”) issued under the indenture dated as of December 4, 2012, by and among Legacy LP, Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association (as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association), as indenture trustee (as supplemented, the “2020 Notes Indenture”) and (c) holders of 8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (together with the 2021 Note Holders and the 2020 Note Holders, the “Supporting Noteholders,” and the Supporting Lenders and the Supporting Noteholders, collectively, the “Supporting Creditors”) issued under the indenture dated as of September 20, 2018, by and among Legacy LP, Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as indenture trustee and conversion agent (as supplemented, the “2023 Notes Indenture”).

On June 18, 2019 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases are being administered jointly under the caption In re Legacy Reserves Inc. et al. (the “Chapter 11 cases” or “Chapter 11 proceedings”).

In accordance with the Amended Restructuring Support Agreement, on September 16, 2019, the Debtors filed a Plan supported by the Supporting Creditors and related disclosure statement (as amended, modified or supplemented, the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court. On September 16, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Disclosure Statement. A hearing before the Bankruptcy Court related to the confirmation of the Plan began on November 6, 2019. If the Plan is confirmed, the Debtors expect that they will emerge from bankruptcy during the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Debtors will continue to operating their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code until the debtors emerge from bankruptcy. Subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions automatically enjoined or stayed the continuation of any judicial or administrative proceedings or other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions. The Bankruptcy Court has granted certain relief requested by the Debtors enabling the Company to conduct its business activities in the ordinary course, including, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, authorization to pay employee wages and benefits, to pay certain taxes and governmental fees and charges, to continue to operate our cash management system in the ordinary course, to secure debtor-in-possession financing, to remit funds we hold from time to time for the benefit of third parties (such as royalty owners), and to pay the prepetition claims of certain of our vendors that hold liens under applicable non-bankruptcy law. For goods and services following the Petition Date, the Company intends to pay vendors in full under normal terms in the ordinary course of business. In connection with the Chapter 11 cases, Legacy LP entered into a senior secured
Page 42


superpriority debtor-in-possession credit agreement, dated as of June 21, 2019, among itself as debtor, debtor-in-possession and borrower, the other loan parties party thereto, as debtors, debtors-in-possession and guarantors, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral, and the other lenders party thereto (the “DIP Credit Agreement”).

For further information regarding the Chapter 11 cases, please refer to "Footnote 2— Chapter 11 Proceedings, Ability to Continue as a Going Concern and Covenant Violations" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings. We have significant indebtedness and our level of indebtedness has adversely impacted and is continuing to adversely impact our financial condition. Our financial condition including operating results, the defaults under our debt agreements and the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 proceedings raise doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Trends Affecting Our Business and Operations

Irrespective of our balance sheet constraints, sustained periods of low prices for oil or natural gas have and could materially and adversely affect our financial position, our results of operations, the quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce and our access to capital.

Outlook. The oil and natural gas industry is in a challenging environment, especially over the past five years, as evidenced by volatility in the crude oil prices that ranged from over $100 per barrel in early 2014 to less than $30 per barrel in early 2016. While prices have recovered off the lows experienced in 2016 they experienced a sharp decline at the end of 2018 from levels seen in 2017 and, despite a recovery in 2019, are still well below levels seen in 2014. Also, production from our horizontal development within the Permian Basin has, from time to time, been temporarily shut-in or constrained due to proximate development operations. We cannot control or accurately forecast the timing, duration or other operational impositions associated with such well interference but the impacts could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Further, the expected economic results of our drilling program may not materialize.

Considering the Chapter 11 proceedings and the current environment for the oil and natural gas industry, our goals in 2019 are to:

expeditiously emerge from the Chapter 11 proceedings;

minimize production declines and operating costs through efficient operations; and

efficiently develop our horizontal inventory in the Permian Basin to generate strong cash-on-cash investment returns.

Our future growth will depend on our ability to continue to add reserves in excess of production. We will maintain our focus on adding reserves through organic development projects and acquisitions. Our ability to add reserves through organic development projects and acquisitions is dependent upon many factors including our ability to raise capital, obtain regulatory approvals and contract drilling rigs and completions equipment and personnel.

Our revenues are highly sensitive to changes in oil and natural gas prices and to levels of production. As set forth under “Investing Activities,” we have entered into oil and natural gas derivatives designed to mitigate the effects of price fluctuations covering a portion of our expected production, which allows us to mitigate, but not eliminate, oil and natural gas price risk. By removing a portion of our price volatility on our future oil and natural gas production through 2019, we have mitigated, but not eliminated, the potential effects of changing oil and natural gas prices on our cash flows from operations for those periods. Commodity prices may decrease, which could alter our acquisition and development plans, and adversely affect our growth strategy and ability to access additional capital in the capital markets and through our revolving credit facility. We continuously conduct financial sensitivity analyses to assess the effect of changes in pricing and production. These analyses allow us to determine how changes in oil and natural gas prices will affect our ability to execute our development plans and to meet future financial obligations. Further, the financial analyses allow us to monitor any impact such changes in oil and natural gas prices may have on the value of our proved reserves and their impact on any redetermination to our borrowing base under our revolving credit facility.

Page 43


Production and Operating Costs Reporting

We strive to increase our production levels to maximize our revenue and cash flow. Additionally, we continuously monitor our operations to ensure that we are incurring operating costs at the optimal level. Accordingly, we continuously monitor our production and operating costs per well to determine if any wells or properties should be shut-in or recompleted.
 
Such costs include, but are not limited to, the cost of electricity to lift produced fluids, chemicals to treat wells, field personnel to monitor the wells, well repair expenses to restore production, well workover expenses intended to increase production, and ad valorem taxes. We incur and separately report severance taxes paid to the states in which our properties are located. These taxes are reported as production taxes and are a percentage of oil and natural gas revenue. Ad valorem taxes are a percentage of property valuation. While gathering and transportation costs are generally borne by the purchasers of our oil and the price paid for our oil reflects these costs, much of our natural gas production is subject to such costs before the transfer of ownership to the purchaser, and we recognize these expenses as operating costs. We do not consider royalties paid to mineral owners an expense as we deduct hydrocarbon volumes owned by mineral owners from the reported hydrocarbon sales volumes.

Results of Operations
 
Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2018

Our revenues from the sale of oil were $72.9 million and $98.8 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our revenues from the sale of NGLs were $2.9 million and $7.8 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our revenues from the sale of natural gas were $21.7 million and $38.7 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $25.9 million decrease in oil revenues is a reflection of decreased oil production of 383 MBbls (22.02%), primarily due to reduced horizontal drilling activity. Additionally, there was a decrease in the average realized price of $3.04 per Bbl (5.35%) due to a decrease in the average West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil price of $13.35 per Bbl, partially offset by improved regional differentials. The $4.8 million decrease in NGL sales reflects a decrease in the realized NGL price of $0.33 per Gal (48.53%) in addition to a production decrease of 3,026 Mgals (26.48%) related to a reduction in ethane recoveries associated with our Piceance Basin properties. The $17.0 million decline in natural gas revenues reflects a decrease in our realized natural gas price of $1.02 per Mcf (39.69%) due to a decline in the average Henry Hub natural gas price of $0.55 as well as widening regional differentials. Additionally, natural gas production decreased 1,070 MMcf (7.12%) due to natural production declines in our East Texas and Piceance Basin properties as well as third-party plant and gathering interruptions resulting in production shut-ins.
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $4.6 million of net gains on oil and natural gas derivatives. Commodity derivative gains and losses represent the changes in fair value of our commodity derivatives during the period and are based on oil and natural gas futures prices. The net gains recognized during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 are primarily due to decreased regional differentials which increased the value of our differential swaps. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, we recorded $30.9 million of net losses on oil and natural gas derivatives. Settlements of such contracts resulted in net cash receipts (payments) of $1.3 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Our oil and natural gas production expenses, excluding ad valorem taxes, decreased to $42.8 million ($11.03 per Boe) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $49.4 million ($10.95 per Boe) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. This decrease can be attributed to general cost containment activities. Our ad valorem tax expense increased to $2.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.9 million or the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 due primarily to increased ad valorem charges on our Piceance Basin properties.

Our production and other taxes were $5.4 million and $7.7 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Production and other taxes decreased due to a combination of the decrease in our weighted average product price and production volumes.

Our general and administrative expenses were $13.5 million and $17.8 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased due to reduction in LTIP expense, acquisition costs and salaries and wages.

We incurred depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, or DD&A, of $40.1 million and $39.6 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. DD&A was relatively flat with an increase of $0.5 million.

In the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, we recognized impairment expense of $96.7 million on eleven separate producing fields primary related to declining commodity prices, primarily natural gas. In the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $19.0 million of impairment on thirteen separate producing fields primarily related to the write-down of assets held-for-sale to their fair market value.

We recorded losses on disposal of assets of $1.3 million and $7.4 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These losses in 2019 were primarily related to the disposition of marginal oil and natural gas assets.

We recorded interest expense of $15.2 million and $29.4 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest expense decreased period over period due to discontinued interest recognition on debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise.

Page 46


As of the three months ended September 30, 2019, we have a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax position and thus no Federal income tax expense was recognized. A valuation allowance has been recorded as management does not believe it is more-likely-than-not that our deferred tax assets will be realized.

As a result of the items described above, Legacy recorded net losses of $136.2 million and $47.9 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2018
 
Our revenues from the sale of oil were $239.0 million and $292.0 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our revenues from the sale of NGLs were $11.4 million and $20.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our revenues from the sale of natural gas were $83.3 million and $109.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $53.0 million decrease in oil revenues reflects the decrease in average realized price of $6.97 per Bbl (11.73%) due to a decrease in average WTI crude oil prices of $9.89 per Bbl as well as widening regional differentials. Additionally, oil production decreased 357 MBbls (7.26%) primarily due to reduced horizontal drilling activity. The $9.5 million decrease in NGL sales reflects the decrease in our realized NGL price of $0.21 per Gal (32.31%) due to lower commodity prices. Additionally, NGL production decreased 5,752 Mgals (17.97%) due primarily to decreased ethane recoveries in our Piceance Basin properties. The $25.8 million decrease in natural gas revenues reflects lower realized natural gas prices and a decrease in natural gas production. Average realized natural gas prices decreased by $0.50 per Mcf (20.08%) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to the decrease in average NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas prices of $0.33 per Mcf. Our natural gas production decreased by approximately 2062 MMcf (4.70%) due to natural production declines as well as third-party plant and gathering interruptions resulting in production shut-ins.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $41.1 million of net losses on oil and natural gas derivatives. Commodity derivative gains and losses represent the changes in fair value of our commodity derivatives during the period and are based on oil and natural gas futures prices. The net losses recognized during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 are primarily driven by improved regional differentials during the first quarter of 2019, which reduced the value of our differential swaps. increase in commodity prices during 2019 and unfavorable cash settlements on our oil derivatives. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, we recorded $41.9 million of net losses on oil and natural gas derivatives. Settlements of such contracts resulted in cash (payments) receipts of $22.8 million and $(4.0) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
 
Our oil and natural gas production expenses, excluding ad valorem taxes, decreased to $130.9 million ($10.77 per Boe) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 from $141.9 million ($10.93 per Boe) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. This decrease is primarily attributable to general cost containment measures. Our ad valorem tax expense increased to $7.8 million ($0.65 per Boe) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 compared to $6.8 million ($0.52 per Boe) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 due primarily to increased ad valorem charges on our Piceance assets.
Our production and other taxes were $18.0 million and $22.7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Production and other taxes decreased due to the decrease in our weighted average product price and decreased production.
 
Our general and administrative expenses were $67.8 million and $64.4 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased due to increased legal and consulting expenses related to our reorganization activities, along with an increase in salaries and wages, and a reduction in billed costs, partially offset by reduced LTIP expenses.

We incurred depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, or DD&A, of $124.5 million and $114.3 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. DD&A increased $10.3 million due primarily to increased net cost basis related to our horizontal Permian drilling activity as well as decreased reserves volumes.

Impairment expense was $105.5 million and $54.4 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $105.5 million of impairment expense on twenty separate producing fields primarily related to the decline in future pricing and increased operating expenses in certain fields. Impairment expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $54.4 million recognized on twenty separate producing fields.

Page 47


We recorded (gains) losses on disposal of assets of $0.3 million and $(14.2) million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The losses were primarily related to the disposition of marginal oil and natural gas assets.

We recorded interest expense of $105.2 million and $85.3 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest expense increased approximately $19.9 million due to accelerated amortization related to our Term Loan Credit Agreement acceleration of indebtedness to May 31, 2019, offset by discontinued interest recognition of interest on debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise.

We recorded gain on extinguishment of debt of $13.1 million due to debt conversions in the first quarter of 2019. We recognized $63.8 million in the nine-months ending September 30, 2018 on the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2021 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the repurchase price.

As a result of the items described above, Legacy recorded net losses of $(277.4) million and $(34.2) million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a tool to provide additional information and metrics relative to the performance of our business. Our management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because this measure is used by many companies in the industry as a measure of operating and financial performance and is commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate the operating and financial performance of Legacy from period to period and to compare it with the performance of other peers within the industry. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other publicly traded limited partnerships or limited liability companies because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

The following presents a reconciliation of “Adjusted EBITDA,” which is a non-GAAP measure, to its nearest comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or any other GAAP measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus:

Interest expense;
Gain on extinguishment of debt;
Income tax expense;
Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion;
Impairment of long-lived assets;
(Gain) loss on disposal of assets;
Equity in (income) loss of equity method investees;
Share-based compensation expense related to LTIP awards accounted for under the equity or liability methods;
Minimum payments earned in excess of overriding royalty interest;
Net (gains) losses on commodity derivatives;
Net cash settlements (paid) received on commodity derivatives;
Transaction and reorganization costs.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, adjusted EBITDA decreased 49.10% to $39.9 million from $78.4 million primarily due to lower production combined with declining realized prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, adjusted EBITDA decreased 24.47% to $167.1 million from $221.2 million, primarily due to lower production combined with declining realized prices.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

In connection with the Chapter 11 cases, Legacy LP entered into a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession credit agreement, dated as of June 21, 2019, among itself as debtor, debtor-in-possession and borrower, the other loan parties party thereto, as debtors, debtors-in-possession and guarantors, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral, and the other lenders party thereto (the “DIP Credit Agreement”).

Despite the liquidity provided by the DIP Credit Agreement, our ability to maintain normal credit terms with our suppliers and vendors may become impaired. We may be required to pay cash in advance to certain vendors and may experience restrictions on the availability of trade credit, which would further reduce our liquidity. If liquidity problems persist, our suppliers could refuse to provide key products and services in the future.

In addition to the cash requirements to fund ongoing operations, we have incurred significant professionals fees and other costs in connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings and expect that we will continue to incur significant fees and costs throughout the Chapter 11 proceedings.

Although we have obtained financing under the DIP Credit Agreement, we cannot state with certainty that our liquidity will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations related to the Chapter 11 cases or that we will be able to confirm a Plan with the Bankruptcy Court that allows us to emerge from bankruptcy. In addition, we must comply with the covenants and conditions of our DIP Credit Agreement in order to continue to access borrowings thereunder. The DIP Credit Agreement is described below in “—Financing Activities—DIP Credit Agreement.”

Page 49


Cash Flow from Operations
 
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $79.2 million and $159.2 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The 2019 period was impacted by decreased commodity prices and production volumes.

Our cash flow from operations is subject to many variables, the most significant of which is the volatility of oil, NGL and natural gas prices. Oil, NGL and natural gas prices are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions, which are dependent on regional and worldwide economic activity, weather and other factors beyond our control. Our future cash flow from operations will depend on our ability to maintain and increase production through acquisitions and development projects, as well as the prices of oil, NGL and natural gas.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities
 
We invested $105.7 million of capital and received $1.5 million of proceeds net of costs related to the divestiture of various oil and natural gas properties in individually immaterial transactions inclusive of post-close adjustments during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. We invested $185.3 million of capital and received $35.2 million of proceeds net of costs related to the divestiture of various oil and natural gas properties in individually immaterial transactions inclusive of post-close adjustments during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

Our annual capital expenditure budget for 2019, which predominantly consists of drilling, recompletion and well stimulation projects, is set at $135 million, subject to any limitations contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness. Our remaining borrowing capacity under our DIP Credit Agreement (as defined below) is $72.0 million as of November 8, 2019. The amount and timing of our capital expenditures is largely discretionary and within our control, with the exception of certain projects managed by other operators. Accordingly, we routinely monitor and adjust our capital expenditures in response to changes in oil and natural gas prices, drilling and acquisition costs, industry conditions, non-operated capital requirements and internally generated cash flow. Matters outside our control that could affect the timing of our capital expenditures include obtaining required permits and approvals in a timely manner as well as other regulatory matters.

We enter into oil and natural gas derivative transactions to reduce the impact of oil and natural gas price volatility on our operations. We use derivatives to offset price volatility of oil and natural gas prices. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we received (paid) settlements of $22.8 million and $(4.0) million, respectively, related to our commodity derivatives.

By reducing the cash flow effects of price volatility from a portion of our oil and natural gas production, we have mitigated, but not eliminated, the potential effects of changing prices on our cash flow from operations for those periods. While mitigating negative effects of lower commodity prices, these derivative contracts also limit the benefits we would receive from increases in commodity prices. It is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are major, creditworthy institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. In addition, none of our current counterparties require us to post margin. However, we cannot be assured that all of our counterparties will meet their obligations under our derivative contracts. Due to this uncertainty, we routinely monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties.

The following tables summarize, for the periods indicated, our oil and natural gas derivatives entered into after July 25, 2019 and in place as of November 8, 2019, covering the period from October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019. We use derivatives swaps, as our mechanism for offsetting the cash flow effects of changes in commodity prices whereby we pay the counterparty floating prices and receive fixed prices from the counterparty, which serves to reduce the effects on cash flow of the floating prices we are paid by purchasers of our oil and natural gas. These transactions are mostly settled based upon the monthly average closing price of the front-month NYMEX WTI oil, the price on the last trading day of front-month NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas.

Oil Swaps:

Time Period Volumes (Bbls) Average Price per Bbl Price Range per Bbl
October - December 2019 1,104,000    $57.01    $56.25 - $58.19

Page 50


We have entered into regional crude oil differential swap contracts in which we have swapped the floating WTI-ARGUS (Midland) crude oil price for floating WTI-ARGUS (Cushing) crude oil price less a fixed-price differential. As noted above, we receive a discount to the NYMEX WTI crude oil price at the point of sale. Due to refinery downtime and limited takeaway capacity that has impacted the Permian Basin, the difference between the WTI-ARGUS (Midland) price, which is the price we receive on almost all of our Permian crude oil production, and the WTI-ARGUS (Cushing) price reached historic highs in late 2012 and early 2013 and again in late 2014. We entered into these differential swaps to negate a portion of this volatility. The following table summarizes the oil differential contracts currently in place as of November 8, 2019, covering the period from October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019:


Time Period Volumes (Bbls) Average Price per Bbl Price Range per Bbl
October - December 2019 920,000    $(0.33)   $ (0.35) - $(0.30)  


Natural Gas Swaps:

Time Period Volumes (MMBtu) Average Price per MMBtu Price Range per MMBtu
October - December 2019 11,040,000    $2.47    $2.421 - $2.508   


After July 25, 2019 we entered into regional natural gas differential swap contracts in which we have swapped the floating CIG natural gas price for a floating NYMEX Henry Hub price less a fixed differential. The following table summarizes these type of enhanced swap in place as of November 8, 2019, covering the period from October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019:

Time Period Volumes (MMBtu) Average Price per MMBtu Price Range per MMBtu
October - December 2019 3,680,000    $(0.47)   $(0.473) - $(0.475)  

After July 25, 2019 we also entered into regional natural gas differential swap contracts in which we have swapped the floating WAHA natural gas price for a floating NYMEX Henry Hub price less a fixed differential. The following table summarizes these type of enhanced swap in place as of November 8, 2019, covering the period from October 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019:

Time Period Volumes (MMBtu) Average Price per MMBtu Price per MMBtu
October - December 2019 2,576,000    $(0.85)   $(0.85)  


Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total net borrowings under our revolving credit facilities were $22.0 million compared to $30.0 million in 2018. Our net borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 on our Second Lien were $133.6 million and $1.2 million in 2019.

The Company’s filing of the Chapter 11 proceedings resulted in the acceleration of the Debtors’ obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Senior Notes (as defined below). Additionally, other events of default under the Company's debt agreements, including cross-defaults, are present, including violations of certain financial ratio covenants, the failure to make principal and interest payments on certain of the Company’s indebtedness, as well as the receipt of a going concern explanatory paragraph from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Under the Bankruptcy Code, the creditors under these debt agreements are stayed from taking any action against the Company as a result of an event of default.

Page 51


DIP Credit Agreement

In connection with the Chapter 11 cases, Legacy LP entered into the DIP Credit Agreement, which provides for, among other things, the following:

a senior secured priming superpriority debtor-in-possession revolving loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350.0 million (the “DIP Facility”), consisting of (i) a new money revolving loan facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million (the “New Money Facility”), $35.0 million of which would be available on an interim basis and which will include a sub-facility of up to $1.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit, and (ii) a refinancing term loan in the amount of $250.0 million (the “Refinancing Facility”);

borrowings under the (i) New Money Facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, at a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate (the “ABR”) plus 4.25% or LIBOR plus 5.25% and (ii) the Refinancing Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus 3.50%;

the Company is be required to pay an unused commitment fee equal to 1.00% per annum to the lenders under the New Money Facility in respect of the unused commitments thereunder;

the maturity of the DIP Facility to be the earliest to occur of (i) eight months after the petition date, (ii) upon the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of a plan of reorganization and the Company’s exit from Chapter 11, (iii) upon the sale of substantially all of the equity or assets of the Company and (iv) the termination of the DIP Facility during the continuation of an event of default under the DIP Credit Agreement or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement or by order of the Bankruptcy Court;

proceeds of the DIP Credit Agreement may be used for (i) transaction costs, fees and expenses, (ii) working capital and general corporate purposes in accordance with a budget approved by the lenders, (iii) bankruptcy-related costs and expenses (including restructuring fees and adequate protection payments) and (iv) in the case of the Refinancing Facility, to refinance amounts existing under the Company’s existing credit agreements;

the obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to limited exceptions provided for in the DIP Motion;

the DIP Credit Agreement provides for certain customary covenants applicable to the Company, including covenants requiring delivery of a rolling 13-week operating budget and cash flow forecast, together with a variance report setting forth material variances from the budget; and

The DIP Credit Agreement provides for certain customary events of default, including the failure to achieve certain milestones set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.

As of November 8, 2019, the Company had $28 million drawn under the New Money Facility leaving $72 million of availability under the New Money Facility and $250 million drawn under the Refinancing Facility at a weighted-average interest rate of 10.50%, leaving no availability under the Refinancing Facility.

Our Revolving Credit Facility

On April 1, 2014, Legacy LP entered into Credit Agreement. On March 21, 2019, the maturity of the Credit Agreement was extended from April 1, 2019 to May 31, 2019. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by mortgages on over 95% of the total value of its oil and natural gas properties as well as a pledge of all of its ownership interests in our operating subsidiaries and Legacy's ownership interests in the General Partner. Concurrently with the Corporate Reorganization, the General Partner and Legacy Inc. provided guarantees of Legacy LP's obligations under the Credit Agreement. The amount available for borrowing at any one time is limited to the borrowing base and contains a $2 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The borrowing base was reduced to $570 million on May 22, 2019 and further reduced to $563 million on May 29, 2019.

As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $313.0 million drawn under the Credit Agreement at a weighted average interest rate of 9.25%. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, we paid in cash $26.5 million of interest expense on the Credit Agreement, New Money Facility and Refinancing Facility.

The Credit Agreement matured on May 31, 2019.

Page 52


Prior to the Twelfth Amendment, Legacy could elect that borrowings be comprised entirely of alternate base rate ("ABR") loans or Eurodollar loans. Interest on the loans is determined as follows:

with respect to ABR loans, the alternate base rate equals the highest of the prime rate, the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging from and including 1.00% to 2.00% per annum, determined by the percentage of the borrowing base then in effect that is utilized, provided, that if the ratio of our first lien debt as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to our EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the four fiscal quarters ending on such day is greater than 3.00 to 1.00, then the applicable margin shall be increased by 0.50% during the next succeeding fiscal quarter, or

with respect to any Eurodollar loans, one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from and including 2.00% to 3.00% per annum, determined by the percentage of the borrowing base then in effect that is utilized.

Effective March 21, 2019, the Twelfth Amendment provides an increase of 2.25% to the interest rate paid on all ABR and Eurodollar loans.

We pay a commitment fee ranging from and including 0.375% to 0.50% per annum on the average daily amount of the unused amount of the commitments under the Credit Agreement, determined by the percentage of the borrowing base then in effect that is utilized, payable quarterly.

Interest is generally payable quarterly for ABR loans and on the last day of the applicable interest period for any Eurodollar loans.
 
Our Credit Agreement also contains various covenants that limit our ability to:

incur indebtedness;

enter into certain leases;

grant certain liens;

enter into certain derivatives;

make certain loans, acquisitions, capital expenditures and investments;

make dividends;

merge, consolidate or allow certain material changes in the character of our business;

repurchase Senior Notes or repay second lien term loans;

engage in certain asset dispositions, including a sale of all or substantially all of our assets; or

maintain a consolidated cash balance in excess of $20 million, or, effective April 1, 2019, $15 million, without prepaying the loans in an amount equal to such excess.

Our Credit Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain specified ratios or conditions as follows:

as of any day, first lien debt to EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of determination for which financial statements are available to not be greater than: 2.50 to 1.00;

as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, secured debt to EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of determination to not be greater than 4.50 to 1.00;

Page 53


as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, total EBITDA over the last four quarters to total interest expense over the last four quarters to be greater than 2.00 to 1.00;
consolidated current assets, as of the last day of the most recent quarter and including the unused amount of the total commitments, to consolidated current liabilities as of the last day of the most recent quarter of not less than 0.7 to 1.00, excluding current maturities under the Credit Agreement and non-cash assets and liabilities under ASC 815, which includes the current portion of oil, natural gas and interest rate derivatives;

as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of (a) the sum of (i) the net present value using NYMEX forward pricing, discounted at 10 percent per annum, of our proved developed producing oil and gas properties (“PDP PV-10”), as reflected in the most recent reserve report delivered either July 1 or December 31 of each year, as the case may be, beginning with the reserve report to be delivered on July 1, 2017 (giving pro forma effect to material acquisitions or dispositions since the date of such reports), (ii) the net mark to market value of our swap agreements and (iii) our cash and cash equivalents to (b) Secured Debt to not be equal to or less than 1.00 to 1.00.

If an event of default exists under our Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the credit agreement and exercise other rights and remedies. Each of the following would be an event of default:

failure to pay any principal when due or any reimbursement amount, interest, fees or other amount within certain grace periods;

a representation or warranty is proven to be incorrect when made;

failure to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants or conditions contained in the Credit Agreement or other loan documents, subject, in certain instances, to certain grace periods;

default by us on the payment of any other indebtedness in excess of $15.0 million, or any event occurs that permits or causes the acceleration of the indebtedness;

bankruptcy or insolvency events involving us or any of our subsidiaries;

the loan documents cease to be in full force and effect;

our failing to create a valid lien, except in limited circumstances;

a change in control, which will occur upon (a) Legacy Inc. ceasing to (i) be the beneficial owner of 100% of the equity interests of the General Partner, (ii) control the General Partner or (iii) be the beneficial owner of 100% of the limited partner equity interests in Legacy LP; (b) the General Partner ceases to be the sole general partner of Legacy LP; (c) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or greater than 50% of the properties or assets of Legacy LP and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; (d) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of Legacy Inc. or Legacy LP; (e) the consummation of any transaction that results in any person becoming the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of Legacy Inc.; or (f) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Board are not continuing directors;

the entry of, and failure to pay, one or more adverse judgments in excess of $15.0 million or one or more non-monetary judgments that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect and for which enforcement proceedings are brought or that are not stayed pending appeal;

specified ERISA events relating to our employee benefit plans that could reasonably be expected to result in liabilities in excess of $2.0 million in any year;

the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below) ceases to be in effect, except to the extent permitted by the terms thereof; and

Page 54


if an “Event of Default” occurs under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below).

We periodically enter into interest rate swap transactions to mitigate the volatility of interest rates. As of September 30, 2019, we had no interest rate swaps.

For further information related to our Credit Agreement, please refer to "—Footnote 3—Debt" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement

On October 25, 2016, Legacy entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The term loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are issued with an upfront fee of 2.00% and bear interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum payable quarterly in cash or, prior to the 18 month anniversary of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, Legacy may elect to pay in kind up to 50% of the interest payable. Effective March 21, 2019, the Seventh Amendment (as defined below) to the Term Loan Credit Agreement provides an increase of 2.25% to the interest rate paid on all term loans. GSO Capital Partners L.P. (“GSO”) and certain funds and accounts managed, advised or sub-advised, by GSO are the initial lenders thereunder. The Term Loan Credit Agreement matures on August 31, 2021; provided that, if on July 1, 2020, Legacy has greater than or equal to a face amount of $15.0 million of Senior Notes that were outstanding on the date the Term Loan Credit Agreement was entered into or any other senior notes with a maturity date that is earlier than August 31, 2021, the Term Loan Credit Agreement will mature on August 1, 2020. The Second Lien Term Loans are secured on a second lien priority basis by the same collateral that secures the Legacy's Credit Agreement and are unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the same wholly owned subsidiaries of Legacy that are guarantors under the Credit Agreement. In addition, upon consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, the General Partner and Legacy Inc. became guarantors.

As of November 8, 2019, we had approximately $339.8 million drawn under the Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement.

We used the initial $60.0 million of gross loan proceeds from our Term Loan Credit Agreement to repay outstanding indebtedness and pay associated transaction expenses. We used subsequent draws to fund the acceleration payment under our JDA and repurchase a portion of our 2021 Senior Notes. The Second Lien Term Loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement will be issued with an upfront fee of 2.00% and bear interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum payable quarterly in cash. The Second Lien Term Loans may be used for general corporate purposes and for the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, in each case as may be approved by us and GSO. The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary prepayment provisions and make-whole premiums.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain specified ratios or conditions as follows:

not permit, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, the ratio of the sum of (i) PDP PV-10, (ii) the net mark to market value of our swap agreements and (iii) our cash and cash equivalents to Secured Debt to be less than (i) 0.85 to 1.00 through and including the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018 and (ii) 1.00 to 1.00 thereafter;

not permit, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018, our ratio of Secured Debt as of such day to EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters then ending to be greater than 4.50 to 1.00;

We are required to mortgage 95% of the total value of all of its Oil and Gas Properties set forth in the most recently evaluated Reserve Report and grant a mortgage on certain identified undeveloped acreage in the Permian Basin; and

require us to grant a perfected security interest in its cash and securities accounts, subject to certain customary exceptions.

All capitalized terms used but not defined in the foregoing description have the meaning assigned to them in the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

Page 55


For further information related to our Term Loan Credit Agreement, please refer to "—Footnote 3—Debt" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

A customary intercreditor agreement was entered into by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as priority lien agent, and Cortland Capital Markets Services LLC, as junior lien agent and acknowledged and accepted by Legacy and the subsidiary guarantors (the "Intercreditor Agreement"). If an event of default exists under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies.

8% Senior Notes Due 2020

On December 4, 2012, Legacy LP and Legacy Reserves Finance Corporation (together, the "Issuers") completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million of our 2020 Senior Notes, which were subsequently registered through a public exchange offer that closed on January 8, 2014. The 2020 Senior Notes were issued at 97.848% of par. We received approximately $286.7 million of net cash proceeds, after deducting the discount to initial purchasers and offering expenses payable by us.

Legacy has the option to redeem the 2020 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at par with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Legacy may be required to offer to repurchase the 2020 Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, in the event of a change of control as defined by the indenture as supplemented. The Issuer's obligations under the 2020 Senior Notes are guaranteed by Legacy Inc., The General Partner, and Legacy LP's 100% owned subsidiaries Legacy Reserves Operating GP LLC, Legacy Reserves Operating LP, Legacy Reserves Services LLC, Legacy Reserves Energy Services LLC, Legacy Reserves Marketing LLC, Dew Gathering LLC and Pinnacle Gas Treating LLC (collectively, the "Guarantors"). In the future, the guarantees may be released or terminated under the following circumstances: (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties of the guarantor; (ii) in connection with any sale or other disposition of sufficient capital stock of the guarantor so that it no longer qualifies as our Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the indenture); (iii) if designated to be an unrestricted subsidiary; (iv) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture; (v) upon the liquidation or dissolution of the guarantor provided no default or event of default has occurred or is occurring; (vi) at such time the guarantor does not have outstanding guarantees of its, or any other guarantor's, other debt; or (vii) upon merging into, or transferring all of its properties to Legacy or another guarantor and ceasing to exist. Refer to Note 12 - Subsidiary Guarantors in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our guarantors.

The indenture governing the 2020 Senior Notes (as supplemented, the "2020 Notes Indenture") limits Legacy's ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to (i) sell assets; (ii) pay distributions or dividends on, repurchase or redeem equity interests or purchase or redeem Legacy's subordinated debt, provided that such subsidiaries may pay dividends to the holders of their equity interests (including Legacy) and Legacy may pay distributions to the holders of its equity interests subject to the absence of certain defaults, the satisfaction of a fixed charge coverage ratio test and certain other conditions; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred securities; (v) create or incur certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from certain of its subsidiaries to Legacy; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of Legacy's assets; (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries; and (x) engage in certain business activities. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. If at any time when the 2020 Senior Notes are rated investment grade by each of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will terminate and Legacy and its subsidiaries will cease to be subject to such covenants. The 2020 Notes Indenture also includes customary events of default. Legacy is in compliance with all financial and other covenants of the 2020 Senior Notes. However, if the lenders under Legacy's Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement were to accelerate the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement as a result of a default, such acceleration could cause a cross-default of all of the 2020 Senior Notes and permit the holders of such notes to accelerate the maturities of such indebtedness.

Interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, we repurchased a face amount of $52.0 million of our 2020 Senior Notes on the open market. On June 1, 2016, we exchanged 2,719,124 units for $15.0 million of face amount of its outstanding 2020 Senior Notes. On September 20, 2018, the Issuers exchanged $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Senior
Page 56


Notes for $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes. On November 21, 2018, Legacy exchanged $3.1 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Senior Notes for 1 million shares of our common stock. We treated these repurchases and exchanges as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, we recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2020 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the repurchase price.

6.625% Senior Notes Due 2021

On May 28, 2013, the Issuers completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of $250 million of our 2021 Senior Notes, which were subsequently registered through a public exchange offer that closed on March 18, 2014. This issuance of our 2021 Senior Notes was at 98.405% of par. We received approximately $240.7 million of net cash proceeds, after deducting the discount to initial purchasers and offering expenses payable by us.
On May 13, 2014, the Issuers completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of an additional $300 million of our 2021 Senior Notes. This issuance of our 2021 Senior Notes was at 99.0% of par. We received approximately $291.8 million of net cash proceeds, after deducting the discount to initial purchasers and offering expenses payable by us.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, we repurchased a face amount of $117.3 million of our 2021 Senior Notes on the open market.

The terms of the 2021 Senior Notes, including the Guarantors, are substantially identical to the terms of the 2020 Senior Notes with the exception of the interest rate and redemption provisions noted below. Legacy will have the option to redeem the 2021 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at par together with any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Legacy may be required to offer to repurchase the 2021 Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, in the event of a change of control as defined by the indenture, as supplemented. Legacy is in compliance with all financial and other covenants of the 2021 Senior Notes. However, if the lenders under our Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement were to accelerate the indebtedness under our Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement as a result of a default, such acceleration could cause a cross-default of all of the 2021 Senior Notes and permit the holders of such notes to accelerate the maturities of such indebtedness.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we repurchased a face amount of $117.3 million of our 2021 Senior Notes on the open market. We treated these repurchases as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, we recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2021 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the repurchase price. We previously repurchased, and have not retired, $304.4 million of our 2021 Senior Notes. Subject to certain restrictions, we retain our voting rights under the indenture governing the 2021 Senior Notes.

On December 31, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement with certain funds managed by Fir Tree Partners pursuant to which we acquired $187.0 million of the 6.625% Notes for a price of approximately $132 million inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest with a settlement date of January 5, 2018. We treated these repurchases for accounting purposes as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, we recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2021 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the repurchase price during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

On September 20, 2018, the Issuers exchanged $109.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Senior Notes for $109.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes. On December 17, 2018, Legacy exchanged $5.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Senior Notes for 2 million shares of our common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $1.75 million of 2021 Senior Notes were exchanged for 593,367 shares of common stock. Legacy treated the exchange as an extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, Legacy recognized a gain for the difference between (1) the face amount of the 2021 Senior Notes repurchased net of the unamortized portion of both the original issuer's discount and issuance costs and (2) the fair value of the shares issued in the exchange based on the closing price on the date of exchange. As of September 30, 2019, there were $129.5 million of 2021 Senior Notes outstanding.

2023 Convertible Senior Notes due 2023

On September 20, 2018, the Issuers, completed private exchanges with certain holders of senior notes, pursuant to which the Issuers exchanged (i) $21.004 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 Senior Notes for $21.004 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes and 105,020 shares of common stock and (ii) $109 million aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes for $109 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes. The 2023 Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of September 20, 2018 (the “2023 Convertible Note Indenture”)

Upon issuance, Legacy separately accounted for the liability and equity components in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 470-20. The initial fair value of the 2023 Convertible Notes in its entirety (inclusive of the equity component related to the conversion option) was estimated using observable inputs such as trades that occurred on the day of the transaction. The liability component was recorded at the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The difference between the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes and the fair value of the liability component was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The fair value of the liability component of the 2023 Convertible Notes was estimated at $101.0 million, resulting in a debt discount of $29.0 million The equity component, representing the value of the conversion option, was computed by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial fair value of the 2023 Convertible Notes. The equity component was recorded in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity and will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

The 2023 Convertible Notes mature on September 20, 2023, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed by the Issuers or converted. The 2023 Convertible Notes are subject to redemption for cash, in whole or in part, at the Issuers’ option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the 2023 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Issuers are required to make an offer to holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes upon a change of control at a price equal to 101%, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, and an offer to holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes upon consummation by the Issuers or any restricted subsidiaries of certain asset sales at a price equal to 100%, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion rate of 166.6667 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of $6.00 per share of common stock (the "Conversion Price").

The 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible, at the option of the holders, into shares of common stock at any time from the date of issuance up until the close of business on the earlier of (i) the business day prior to the date of a mandatory conversion notice, (ii) with respect to a 2023 Convertible Note called for redemption, the business day immediately preceding the redemption date or (iii) the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. In addition, if a holder exercises its right to convert on or prior to September 19, 2019, such holder will receive an early conversion payment, in cash, per $1,000 principal amount as follows:

Early Conversion Date Early Conversion Payment
December 1, 2018 through May 31, 2019 $64.22
June 1, 2019 through September 19, 2019 $24.22

Subject to compliance with certain conditions, the Issuers have the right to mandatorily convert all of the 2023 Convertible Notes if the volume weighted average price of the common stock equals or exceeds the conversion price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any period of 30 consecutive trading days commencing on or after the initial issuance date.

The 2023 Convertible Notes are guaranteed by Legacy Inc., the General Partner, Legacy Reserves Operating GP LLC, Legacy Reserves Operating LP, Legacy Reserves Services LLC, Legacy Reserves Energy Services LLC, Dew Gathering LLC and Pinnacle Gas Treating LLC.

The terms of the 2023 Convertible Notes, including the Guarantors, are substantially identical to the terms of the 2020 Senior Notes and 2021 Senior Notes with the exception of the interest rate, conversion and redemption provisions noted above. Additionally, if the lenders under Legacy's Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement were to accelerate the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or Term Loan Credit Agreement as a result of a default, such acceleration could cause a cross-default of all of the 2023 Senior Notes and permit the holders of such notes to accelerate the maturities of such indebtedness.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, certain holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes exercised their option to convert $1.9 million of face amount of 2023 Convertible Notes in exchange for 316,828 shares of our common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $6.5 million of 2023 Convertible Notes were exchanged for 2.4 million shares of common stock and $14.1 million of 2023 Convertible Notes were converted for 2.3 million shares of common stock. Legacy recognized $1.6 million and $10.7 million of gain on extinguishment of debt on these transactions respectively.

Interest is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to select and apply accounting policies that best provide the framework to report our results of operations and financial position. The selection and application of those policies requires management to make difficult subjective or complex judgments concerning reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. As a result, there exists the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

As of September 30, 2019, our critical accounting policies were consistent with those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates pertain to proved oil and natural gas reserves, the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, valuation of derivatives, future cash flows from oil and natural gas properties, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligations and accrued revenues. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil and natural gas prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading.

Page 59


Commodity Price Risk
 
Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to our oil and natural gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the spot market prices applicable to our natural gas production and the prevailing price for crude oil. Pricing for oil, natural gas and NGLs has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the future. The prices we receive for production depend on many factors outside of our control, such as the strength of the global economy and the supply of oil outside of the United States.
 
We periodically enter into and anticipate entering into derivative arrangements with respect to a portion of our projected oil and natural gas production through various transactions that offset changes in the future prices received. These transactions may include swaps, enhanced swaps and three-way collars. These derivative activities are intended to support oil and natural gas prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to oil and natural gas price fluctuations. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.

As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of our commodity derivative positions was a net asset of $3.3 million, based on NYMEX futures prices from October 2019 to December 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the fair market value of our commodity derivative positions was a net asset of $67.2 million based on NYMEX futures prices from January 2017 to December 2019 for both oil and natural gas. For more discussion about our derivative transactions and to see a table listing the oil and natural gas derivatives from July 2019 through December 2019, please read “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Cash Flow from Investing Activities.”

Interest Rate Risks
 
At September 30, 2019, we had debt outstanding under our Credit Agreement of $313.0 million, which incurred interest at floating rates in accordance with our revolving credit facility. The average annual interest rate incurred by us under our Credit Agreement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 was 8.90%. A 1% increase in LIBOR on our outstanding debt under our revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2019 would result in an estimated $3.1 million increase in annual interest expense assuming our current interest rate hedges remain in place and do not expire.Our Credit Agreement required the mandatory termination of our interest rate swaps three days prior to the maturity date of the Credit Agreement and as such we held no active derivative contracts as of September 30, 2019. It is never management's intention to hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. Conditions sometimes arise where actual borrowings are less than notional amounts hedged which has and could result in overhedged amounts.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
 
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives.
 
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their cost. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all of our control issues and all instances of fraud, if any. The design of any system of controls also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
During the first quarter of 2019, we added internal control processes over financial reporting as a result of the adoption of the new lease standard (ASC 842). There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
Page 60


occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Legacy is, from time to time, involved in litigation and claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business including regulatory and environmental matters, none of which are expected to be material. Management does not believe that it is probable that the outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on Legacy’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow, although the ultimate outcome and impact of such legal proceedings on Legacy cannot be predicted with certainty.

See " —Footnote 2— Chapter 11 Proceedings, Ability to Continue as a Going Concern and Covenant Violations" for a description of the Chapter 11 cases.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in these reports are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.
