Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 6, 2013, Approach Resources Inc. (the "Company") entered into a sixteenth amendment (the "Sixteenth
Amendment") to its Credit Agreement dated as of January 18, 2008 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company and its subsidiary guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and lender, and the
lenders from time to time party thereto.
The Sixteenth Amendment, among other things, (a) increases the borrowing base to $350
million from $315 million, and (b) revises the lenders' commitment percentages.
The foregoing description of the terms of the
Sixteenth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the Sixteenth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 7, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing financial and operational results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2013 (the "Earnings Release"). The Earnings Release contains certain non-GAAP financial information. The reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial information to GAAP financial measures is included in the Earnings
Release and in the "Investor Relations – Non-GAAP Financials" section of the Company's website at
www.approachresources.com
. A copy of the Earnings Release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information regarding the Sixteenth Amendment set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
On November 7, 2013, the Company announced that Sergei Krylov has been named to the position of Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and that Mr. Krylov will assume the position from Steven P. Smart, who announced his intention to retire from the Company effective December 31, 2013. Mr. Krylov's employment
with the Company will begin upon his satisfaction of certain conditions of his prior employment, which the Company expects will be on or before January 2, 2014.
Mr. Krylov, 36, comes to the Company from J.P. Morgan Securities LLC's Energy Investment Banking group, where he has been serving as
a Managing Director since March 2013. Prior to that role, Mr. Krylov served in a number of positions with increasing responsibility at J.P. Morgan since 2000. While at J.P. Morgan, Mr. Krylov advised clients on strategic planning, mergers
and acquisitions, and capital market transactions. Mr. Krylov brings over 13 years of oil and gas industry finance experience to the position of Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Krylov holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance,
summa cum laude, from Pace University.
The Company believes there are no transactions in which Mr. Krylov has a material interest
requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with the effectiveness of Mr. Krylov's employment, the Company anticipates entering into certain employment and compensation arrangements with Mr. Krylov.
The Company will file an amendment to this current report on Form 8-K describing such arrangements once the parties have entered into the applicable agreements.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.
On November 6, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's Restated Bylaws, effective
immediately, to add a new Article X providing that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and
exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or
the Company's stockholders, (3) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The amendment further provides that
any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provision.
The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company reflecting this amendment are filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this current report on Form 8-K.
