Section 145 further provides that in connection with the defense or settlement of any action by or in the right of the corporation, a Delaware corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents (or persons serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity) against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them if, in connection with the matters in issue, they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or other court in which such action or suit is brought approves such indemnification. Section 145 further permits a Delaware corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification through bylaw provisions and otherwise, and or purchase indemnity insurance on behalf of its directors and officers. Article Eight of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Article VII of the Bylaws of the Registrant, as amended, provide, in general, that the Registrant may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents (or persons serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity) to the full extent of Delaware law.</font>

﻿
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is filed by VAALCO Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "
Registrant
," or the "
Company
"), to register
292,500
shares of common stock, $0.10 par value
(the "
Common Stock
")
, of the Registrant available for issuance under (i) that certain Standalone Restricted Stock Award Agreement dated April 17, 2017, and (ii) that certain Standalone Nonstatutory Stock Option Award Agreement dated April 17, 2017, both by and between the Registrant and Phillip F. Patman, Jr.
(together, the "
Patman Inducement Awards
").
Mr. Patman was appointed as the Registrant's Chief Financial Officer effective April 17, 2017.  The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved the awards made to Mr. Patman under these agreements as an "employee inducement award" within the meaning of Rule 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual Rules.  The Registrant had entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Patman dated April 17, 2017, which provided that Mr. Patman would be eligible for stock options or other incentive awards.
﻿
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is also being filed by the Registrant to register the issuance of
2,563,897
shares of Common Stock that had been formerly available for issuance under certain "Prior Plans" (as defined below) of the Registrant, and now are available for issuance under the Registrant's 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "
2014 LTIP
").
﻿
The Registrant's stockholders approved
the 2014 LTIP effective April 16, 2014 (the "
2014 LTIP Effective Date
").  Under the terms of the 2014 LTIP, 4,600,000 shares of Common Stock were newly authorized and reserved for issuance under awards to be made under the 2014 LTIP.  On July 1, 2014, the Registrant filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-197180) with the Commission to register 4,600,000 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock available for issuance under the 2014 LTIP.
﻿
T
he terms of the 2014 LTIP consolidated into a single plan several previously existing equity compensation plans of the Registrant, including the VAALCO Energy, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the "
2001 Plan
") and the VAALCO Energy, Inc. 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "
2012 Plan
" and together with the 2001 Plan, the "
Prior Plans
").  The terms of the 2014 LTIP provided that, in addition to the 4,600,000 shares authorized under the 2014 LTIP, any shares of Common Stock under the Prior Plans that were the subject of an outstanding stock option or other types of stock incentive awards under the Prior Plans, and which, on or after the 2014 LTIP Effective Date, were forfeited, expired unexercised, or terminated in any other manner, such that all or some of the shares covered by such incentive award were not issued, would thereupon become immediately available for grants under the 2014 LTIP (the "
Released Prior Plan Shares
").
﻿
Thus, the Released Prior Plan Shares, which had been previously registered under Registration Statements on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "
Commission
") (Registration Nos. 333-67858 and 333-183515), thereupon became available for grants under the 2014 LTIP in accordance with the terms of the 2014 LTIP.  The 2014 LTIP Plan further provided that, as of the 2014 LTIP Effective Date, no further grants of new incentive awards or awards of Released Prior Plan Shares could be made under the Prior Plans, and that Released Prior Plan Shares available for issuance under the Prior Plans would become available for issuance
under the 2014 LTIP.
﻿
The additional shares being registered under the 2014 LTIP covered by this Registration Statement are of the same class as other securities relating to the 2014 LTIP for which the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Commission (Registration No. 333-197180) is effective.
﻿
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 serves as a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statements on Form S-8 (Registration Nos. 333-197180, 333-67858 and 333-183515) previously filed and referred to above.

Section 145 further provides that in connection with the defense or settlement of any action by or in the right of the corporation, a Delaware corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents (or persons serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity) against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them if, in connection with the matters in issue, they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been adjudged liable to the corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or other court in which such action or suit is brought approves such indemnification. Section 145 further permits a Delaware corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification through bylaw provisions and otherwise, and or purchase indemnity insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.

See exhibits listed under the Exhibit Index hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The Registrant hereby undertakes:
﻿
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement:
﻿
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
﻿
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
﻿
﻿
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
﻿
﻿
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
﻿
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of its annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to its directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by the Registrant is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
