Item 8.01.  Other Events.
 On August 1, 2017, a subsidiary of Legacy Reserves LP (“Legacy”), along with Jupiter JV LP (“Investor”), entered into the First Amended and Restated Development Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”), which amends and restates the Development Agreement, dated July 2, 2015, between Legacy and Investor pursuant to which Legacy and Investor agreed to participate in the funding, exploration, development and operation of certain of Legacy’s undeveloped oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. In connection with the Restated Agreement, Legacy made a payment of $141 million to, among other things, cause the reversion of Investor's working interest from 80% to 15% of the parties' combined interests in all wells and associated personal property and infrastructure (collectively, the “Wells”) contained in the first tranche meaning that Legacy’s working interest correspondingly increased from 20% to 85% of the parties' combined interests in the Wells, and all undeveloped assets subject to the terms of the Restated Agreement reverted back to Legacy (together, the “Jupiter Acceleration Payment Interests”).

The statements of revenues and direct operating expenses, including notes thereto, for the Jupiter Acceleration Payment Interests for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the independent auditor's report related to the year ended December 31, 2016, are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet of Legacy Reserves LP at June 30, 2017, which gives effect to the Jupiter Acceleration Payment Interests, and the unaudited pro forma statements of operations of Legacy Reserves LP for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, which give effect to the Jupiter Acceleration Payment Interests, are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
