Paul T. Horne, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Legacy, commented, "We thank Dwight for his keen insight and thoughtful approach on our Board and look forward to his continued support of the company. GSO has been a committed investor and, through their capital investment and idea generation, has assisted us in our transition out of the MLP and into the C-Corp sector. We look forward to building on our previous successes with GSO's continued support."

Mr. Horne also stated, "We are excited to announce that the Board has appointed Doug York as our newest Director. Doug's industry experience in operations, drilling, acquisitions, and especially his focus in shale plays, makes him a great addition to our Board and we are excited that he is joining Legacy as we continue to transition the Company."
