the &#147;Debtors&#148;) filed voluntary petitions (the cases commenced thereby, the &#147;Chapter 11 Cases&#148;) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas,
Houston Division (the &#147;Court&#148;). On April&nbsp;14, 2017, the Court entered an order approving the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Memorial Production Partners LP and its affiliated Debtors, dated April&nbsp;13, 2017 (as
amended and supplemented, the &#147;Plan&#148;). On May&nbsp;4, 2017, the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan, MEMP and certain
Consenting Noteholders (as defined in the Plan) effectuated certain restructuring transactions, pursuant to which Amplify Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), acquired all of the assets of MEMP, and in accordance with the
Plan, MEMP was dissolved. As a result, the Company became the successor reporting company to MEMP pursuant to Rule 15d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April&nbsp;30, 2018, Debtors filed with the Court a motion for a final decree and entry of an order closing the Chapter 11 Cases with respect to each of

not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Quarterly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers limited time periods, and has been prepared solely for the
purpose of complying with the quarterly reporting requirements of the Court. The Quarterly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is
in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company&#146;s securities, the Quarterly
Operating Report is complete. The Quarterly Operating Report also contains information for a period which is shorter and otherwise different from those required in the Company&#146;s periodic reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such
information might not be indicative of the Company&#146;s financial condition or operating results for a period that would be reflected in the Company&#146;s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Information set forth
in the Quarterly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements </B></P>

Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously disclosed, on January 16, 2017, Memorial Production Partners LP ("MEMP") and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively with MEMP,
the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions (the cases commenced thereby, the "Chapter 11 Cases") under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas,
Houston Division (the "Court"). On April 14, 2017, the Court entered an order approving the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Memorial Production Partners LP and its affiliated Debtors, dated April 13, 2017 (as
amended and supplemented, the "Plan"). On May 4, 2017, the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan, MEMP and certain
Consenting Noteholders (as defined in the Plan) effectuated certain restructuring transactions, pursuant to which Amplify Energy Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), acquired all of the assets of MEMP, and in accordance with the
Plan, MEMP was dissolved. As a result, the Company became the successor reporting company to MEMP pursuant to Rule 15d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
On April 30, 2018, Debtors filed with the Court a motion for a final decree and entry of an order closing the Chapter 11 Cases with respect to each of
the Debtors, other than (i) San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company ("SPBPL"), Ch. 11 Case
No. 17-30249,
(ii) Rise Energy Beta, LLC ("REB"), Ch. 11 Case
No. 17-30250,
and (iii) Beta Operating Company, LLC ("BOC"), Ch. 11 Case
No. 17-30253,
(collectively, the "Closing Debtors"). On
May 30, 2018 ("Final Decree Date"), the Court entered into the final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases of the Closing Debtors.
On
January 31, 2019, the Debtors filed their quarterly disbursements report, which included financial information as of December 31, 2018 and for the period covering October 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 (the "Quarterly
Operating Report"), with the Court. For periods after the Final Decree Date, receipts and disbursement activity only reflect the transactions of SPBPL, REB, and BOC, respectively. The Quarterly Operating Report is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be "filed" for
purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company's filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Cautionary Note Regarding the Quarterly Operating Report
The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Quarterly Operating Report, which was
not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Quarterly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers limited time periods, and has been prepared solely for the
purpose of complying with the quarterly reporting requirements of the Court. The Quarterly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is
in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company's securities, the Quarterly
Operating Report is complete. The Quarterly Operating Report also contains information for a period which is shorter and otherwise different from those required in the Company's periodic reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such
information might not be indicative of the Company's financial condition or operating results for a period that would be reflected in the Company's financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Information set forth
in the Quarterly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form
8-K,
including the exhibit hereto, includes "forward-looking statements." All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Current Report on Form
8-K
that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may
occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Terminology such as "will," "would," "should," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "project,"
"intend," "estimate," "believe," "target," "continue," "potential," the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
statements include, but are
not limited to, statements about financial restructuring or strategic alternatives and the Company's expectations of plans, goals, strategies (including measures to implement strategies),
objectives and anticipated results with respect thereto. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other
factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances, but such assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Such statements are also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause
the Company's actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include risks and uncertainties relating to, among other things: the ability to improve the Company's financial
results and profitability following its emergence from bankruptcy; the Company's efforts to reduce leverage; the Company's level of indebtedness, including its ability to satisfy its debt obligations; the Company's ability to generate
sufficient cash flow, to make payments on its obligations and to execute its business plan; the Company's ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties following its emergence from bankruptcy;
continued low or further declining commodity prices and demand for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; the Company's ability to access funds on acceptable terms, if at all, because of the terms and conditions governing the Company's
indebtedness or otherwise; and changes in commodity prices and hedge positions and the risk that the Company's hedging strategy may be ineffective or may reduce its income. Please read the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), including "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K,
and if applicable, the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q
and Current Reports on Form
8-K,
which are available on the Company's Investor Relations website at http://investor.amplifyenergy.com/ or on the SEC's website
at http://www.sec.gov, for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those in such forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form
8-K.
All forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form
8-K
are qualified in their entirety by these
cautionary statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future results or otherwise.
