CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond
our control, which may include statements about:
·
our business strategy;
·
the amount of oil and natural gas we produce;
·
the price at which we are able to sell our oil and natural gas production;
·
our ability to acquire additional oil and natural gas properties at economically attractive prices;
·
our drilling locations and our ability to continue our development activities at economically attractive costs;
·
the level of our lease operating expenses, general and administrative costs and finding and development costs, including
payments to our general partner;
·
the level of our capital expenditures;
·
the level of cash distributions to our unitholders;
·
our future operating results; and
·
our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.
All of these types of statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this prospectus, are forward-looking statements. In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "could," "should," "expect," "plan," "project,"
"intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "pursue," "target," "continue," the negative of such terms or other
comparable terminology.
The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and
assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market
conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and
involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management's assumptions about future events may
prove to be inaccurate. All readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are not guarantees of
future performance, and our expectations may not be realized or the forward-looking events and circumstances may not occur. Actual
results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to factors described in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 as well as the risk factors described under "Risk Factors" in this prospectus.
The forward-looking statements in this prospectus speak only as of the date of this prospectus; we disclaim any obligation to update these
statements unless required by securities law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly.

Legacy Reserves LP
Overview
We are a master limited partnership headquartered in Midland, Texas, focused on the acquisition and development of oil and natural
gas properties primarily located in the Permian Basin, Mid-Continent and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States.
Our primary business objective is to generate stable cash flows allowing us to make cash distributions to our unitholders and to
support and increase quarterly cash distributions per unit over time through a combination of acquisitions of new properties and
development of our existing oil and natural gas properties.
Our oil and natural gas production and reserve data as of December 31, 2012 are as follows:
·
We had proved reserves of approximately 83.2 million barrels of crude oil equivalent (MMBoe), of which 68% were oil
and natural gas liquids (NGLs) and 88% were classified as proved developed producing (PDP), 2% were proved
developed non-producing, and 10% were proved undeveloped;
·
Our proved reserves had a standardized measure of $1.4 billion; and
·
Our proved reserves to production ratio was approximately 11.4 years based on the annualized production volumes for the
three months ended December 31, 2012, with the exception of the volumes associated with Legacy's purchase of certain oil
and natural gas properties located primarily in the Permian Basin from COG Operating LLC and Concho Oil and Gas, LLC
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Concho Resources Inc., for a net cash purchase price of $502.6 million on December 20,
2012, for which the twelve days of production from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2012 was annualized.
We have grown primarily through two activities: the acquisition of producing oil and natural gas properties and the development of
properties in established producing trends. From 2007 through 2012, we completed 113 acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties for a
total of approximately $1.5 billion, excluding $96.3 million of non-cash asset retirement obligations. These acquisitions of primarily
long-lived, oil-weighted assets, along with our ongoing development activities and operational improvements, have allowed us to achieve
significant operational and financial growth during this time period.
