Legacy Reserves Discloses That Director Nomination Notice From Baines Creek Is Invalid

MIDLAND, Texas, April 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Legacy Reserves Inc. ("Legacy" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LGCY) today disclosed that Baines Creek Partners, L.P.'s ("Baines Creek") notice of director nominations for the Company's 2019 Annual Meeting is invalid for failure to comply with the requirements set forth in Legacy's bylaws. Legacy's bylaws were established for the protection of the Company and all of its stockholders.

Pursuant to Legacy's bylaws, the deadline for stockholders to nominate candidates for election to the Board at the Company's 2019 Annual Meeting was April 1, 2019.

A copy of the Company's letter to Baines Creek describing the deficiency in further detail was filed on a Form 8-K with the SEC today.

Sidley Austin LLP is serving as legal counsel to Legacy, and Tudor Pickering & Holt L.P. and Perella Weinberg Partners L.P. are serving as financial advisors to Legacy.
