We look forward to building on our previous successes with GSO's continued support."

Mr. Scott commented, "From the first day we made our investment, GSO's relationship with the leadership and Board at Legacy has been strong. This is a team that has worked exceptionally hard to protect the company's many constituents, and I have been pleased to be a part of that.  We wish the company well, have full confidence in the management and Board, and will continue to work with Legacy as it further strengthens its business."

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."
