Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
     On March 13, 2008, Legacy Reserves Operating LP (“Legacy OLP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy Reserves LP (the “Partnership”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with private third parties. The Purchase Agreement provides for the acquisition by Legacy OLP of certain oil and natural gas producing properties and related assets in the Permian Basin and to a lesser degree in Oklahoma and Kansas. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions and adjustments, is expected to close in April 2008.

     The aggregate purchase price of  the acquisition will be approximately $82 million, subject to customary closing and post-closing adjustments, consisting of $55 million in cash, subject to closing adjustment, and 1,345,291 newly issued units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership. The Partnership will fund the cash portion of the purchase price with borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility.
 
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securites.
 
     The description in Item 1.01 above of the expected issuance by the Partnership of units in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing transactions are expected to be undertaken in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded by Section 4(2) thereof.

   On March 14, 2008, Legacy entered into LIBOR Interest Rate swaps beginning in April of 2008 and extending through April of 2011 covering $60 million of the outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.
