On December 30, 2013, LRR Energy, L.P. (the “Partnership” or “LRR Energy”) announced that the board of directors (the “Board”) of LRE GP, LLC, the general partner (the “General Partner”) of LRR Energy, appointed Dawn K. Smajstrla to the position of Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer effective December 30, 2013.

 

Ms. Smajstrla will receive salary and benefits, and will participate in the General Partner’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), in accordance with Partnership practice, at levels commensurate with her employment position. In addition, Ms. Smajstrla will be eligible to participate in other benefit programs available to employees, generally, including life, disability, medical, vision, and dental insurance and vacation benefits. The Partnership will reimburse Lime Rock Resources Operating Company, Inc. for the portion of Ms. Smajstrla’s salary, bonus and other amounts paid to her based on the amount of her time allocated to the business of the Partnership.

 

In connection with her appointment, the Board granted Ms. Smajstrla 2,922 restricted units under the LTIP. These restricted units vest in equal one-third increments over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, so that the restricted units granted will be 100% vested on December 30, 2016 and provided that she has continuously provided services to LRR Energy, the General Partner or any of their respective affiliates, without interruption, from the date of grant through each applicable vesting date.

 

Ms. Smajstrla, age 43, joins LRR Energy from Goodrich Petroleum Corporation where she was Vice President and Controller since 2010. Prior to being employed by Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, Ms. Smajstrla was the Director of Corporate Audit and Assistant Controller-Financial Accounting and Financial Reporting at Anadarko Petroleum Corporation from 2008 to 2010. She has over 15 years of experience in accounting and financial reporting roles at Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Sirius Solutions, L.L.P, Victory Packaging, Inc., ERP Environmental Services, Inc. and other companies.

 

There are no family relationships between Ms. Smajstrla and any director or executive officer of the General Partner, and she is not involved in any related party transactions that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
