Willinger, our chief executive officer, and Charles C. Ward, our chief financial officer (the &#8220;2020 Award Letter Agreements&#8221;), copies of which were filed with the Partnership&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed on March 16, 2021 (the &#8220;2020 Form 10-K&#8221;). &#160;Pursuant to the 2020 Award Letter Agreements, the board of directors of the General Partner (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) agreed with Messrs. Willinger and Ward to grant awards with respect to the performance of the Partnership in 2019 in amounts equal to $1,300,000 for Mr. Willinger, and $550,000 for Mr. Ward (the &#8220;Deferred Awards&#8221;). However, due to the declining market price of the Partnership&#8217;s common units from 2019 to 2020, the dilutive effect of granting awards to Messrs. Willinger and Ward under the Sanchez Production Partners LP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#8220;Plan&#8221;) in March 2020 would have been extreme and in order to advance the interests of the Partnership and its unitholders, Messrs. Willinger and Ward agreed with the General Partner to defer to determination on the form of the Deferred Awards until a time prior to March 31, 2021. &#160;</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:14pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">On March 18, 2021, the Board determined that the form of the Deferred Awards would be grants of restricted units under the Plan. On March 18, 2020 (the &#8220;Grant Date&#8221;), the Board approved the grant of (i)&#160;1,160,714 restricted units to Mr. Willinger under the Plan, and (ii)&#160;491,071 restricted units to Mr. Ward under the Plan. &#160;The grants of restricted units were made pursuant to an Award Agreement Relating to Restricted Units entered into with each of Mr. Willinger and Mr. Ward (collectively, the &#8220;Award Agreements&#8221;). Pursuant to the Award Agreements, two-thirds of the restricted units vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, with the remaining one-third of the restricted units vesting on the second anniversary of the Grant Date. Except in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), a Participant&#8217;s Disability (as defined in the Plan), or Involuntary Termination (as defined in the Award Agreements) or in the discretion of the Board, any unvested restricted units will be forfeited upon such time as the grantee is no longer an officer, employee, consultant or director of the Partnership, the General Partner, any of their affiliates or any other person performing bona fide services for the Partnership and its subsidiaries. &#160; </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:14pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">No bonus information was omitted from the Summary Compensation Table in the 2020 Form 10-K, rather, because the form of the Deferred Awards was unknown at the time of filing of the 2020 Form 10-K, the dollar value of the Deferred Awards was included in the Bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table. As such, the 2020 total compensation figure for each of Messrs. Willinger and Ward disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table of the 2020 Form 10-K will not change as a result of the grants of restricted units disclosed herein. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:14pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;">The foregoing description of the Award Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, the Award Agreements, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference, and copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:14pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font style="display:inline-block;text-indent:0pt;width:72pt;"><b style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;text-align:left;">Item 9.01</b></font><b style="color:#221e1f;font-weight:bold;">Financial Statements and Exhibits.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:14pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;"><font style="display:inline-block;text-indent:0pt;width:36pt;"><i style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:normal;text-align:left;">(d)</i></font><i style="font-style:italic;">Exhibits. </i></p><div align="left"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:16pt;height:max-content;width:100.92%;"><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;width:14.62%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt 5.4pt 0pt 5.4pt;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;padding-bottom:1pt;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;margin:0pt;">Exhibit No.</p></td><td style="vertical-align:top;width:85.37%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt 5.4pt 0pt 5.4pt;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;padding-bottom:1pt;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;margin:0pt;">Exhibit</p></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;width:14.62%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt 5.4pt 0pt 5.4pt;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:0pt;">10.1</p></td><td style="vertical-align:top;width:85.37%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt 5.4pt 0pt 5.4pt;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">Form of Award Agreement Relating to Restricted Units.</p></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;width:14.62%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt 5.4pt 0pt 5.4pt;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:center;margin:0pt;">10.2</p></td><td style="vertical-align:top;width:85.37%;margin:0pt;padding:0pt 5.4pt 0pt 5.4pt;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;">Award Agreement Relating to Restricted Units, dated March 18, 2021, between Evolve Transition Infrastructure LP and Gerald F.

Equity Awards
As previously disclosed, on March 13, 2020, Evolve Transition Infrastructure GP, LLC, the general partner (the "General Partner") of Evolve Transition Infrastructure LP (the "Partnership"), entered into separate Award Letter Agreements with Gerald F. Willinger, our chief executive officer, and Charles C. Ward, our chief financial officer (the "2020 Award Letter Agreements"), copies of which were filed with the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed on March 16, 2021 (the "2020 Form 10-K").  Pursuant to the 2020 Award Letter Agreements, the board of directors of the General Partner (the "Board") agreed with Messrs. Willinger and Ward to grant awards with respect to the performance of the Partnership in 2019 in amounts equal to $1,300,000 for Mr. Willinger, and $550,000 for Mr. Ward (the "Deferred Awards"). However, due to the declining market price of the Partnership's common units from 2019 to 2020, the dilutive effect of granting awards to Messrs. Willinger and Ward under the Sanchez Production Partners LP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in March 2020 would have been extreme and in order to advance the interests of the Partnership and its unitholders, Messrs. Willinger and Ward agreed with the General Partner to defer to determination on the form of the Deferred Awards until a time prior to March 31, 2021.
On March 18, 2021, the Board determined that the form of the Deferred Awards would be grants of restricted units under the Plan. On March 18, 2020 (the "Grant Date"), the Board approved the grant of (i) 1,160,714 restricted units to Mr. Willinger under the Plan, and (ii) 491,071 restricted units to Mr. Ward under the Plan.  The grants of restricted units were made pursuant to an Award Agreement Relating to Restricted Units entered into with each of Mr. Willinger and Mr. Ward (collectively, the "Award Agreements"). Pursuant to the Award Agreements, two-thirds of the restricted units vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, with the remaining one-third of the restricted units vesting on the second anniversary of the Grant Date. Except in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), a Participant's Disability (as defined in the Plan), or Involuntary Termination (as defined in the Award Agreements) or in the discretion of the Board, any unvested restricted units will be forfeited upon such time as the grantee is no longer an officer, employee, consultant or director of the Partnership, the General Partner, any of their affiliates or any other person performing bona fide services for the Partnership and its subsidiaries.
No bonus information was omitted from the Summary Compensation Table in the 2020 Form 10-K, rather, because the form of the Deferred Awards was unknown at the time of filing of the 2020 Form 10-K, the dollar value of the Deferred Awards was included in the Bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table. As such, the 2020 total compensation figure for each of Messrs. Willinger and Ward disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table of the 2020 Form 10-K will not change as a result of the grants of restricted units disclosed herein.
The foregoing description of the Award Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, the Award Agreements, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference, and copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference.
