<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;2, 2013, Memorial Production Partners LP (the &#147;Partnership&#148;) entered into an underwriting agreement (the
&#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;), by and among the Partnership, Memorial Production Partners GP LLC (the &#147;General Partner&#148;) and Memorial Production Operating LLC (&#147;Operating LLC&#148; and, together with the Partnership and the
General Partner, the &#147;Partnership Parties&#148;) and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner&nbsp;&amp; Smith Incorporated, Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs&nbsp;&amp; Co., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Raymond
James&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the &#147;Underwriters&#148;), providing for the offer and
sale by the Partnership (the &#147;Offering&#148;), and purchase by the Underwriters, of 14,500,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the &#147;Common Units&#148;) at a price to the public of $19.90 per Common
Unit ($19.12 per Common Unit, net of underwriting discounts). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,175,000 Common Units on the same terms. Assuming no
exercise of the Underwriters&#146; option, the net proceeds of the Offering, including the General Partner&#146;s proportionate capital contribution and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before estimated expenses, will be
approximately $277.6 million. The Partnership expects the Offering to close on October&nbsp;8, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Offering has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), pursuant to the
Partnership&#146;s effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No.&nbsp;333-187055) (the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;). The material terms of the Offering are described in the prospectus supplement dated October&nbsp;2, 2013 filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule&nbsp;424(b) under the Securities Act (the &#147;Prospectus Supplement&#148;) and the accompanying prospectus dated March&nbsp;15, 2013 constituting a part of the Registration Statement.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of each of the Partnership Parties and customary
conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The Partnership Parties have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments
the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As more fully described under the caption
&#147;Underwriting&#148; in the Prospectus Supplement, affiliates of certain of the Underwriters are lenders under the Partnership&#146;s revolving credit facility and, accordingly, may receive a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering. The
Underwriters and their affiliates may provide in the future investment banking, financial advisory or other financial services for the Partnership and its affiliates, for which they may receive advisory or transaction fees, as applicable, plus
out-of-pocket expenses, of the nature and in amounts customary in the industry for these financial services. An affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC serves as the Partnership&#146;s registrar and transfer agent and receives customary fees for
such service. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to

Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Public Equity Offering
On October 2, 2013, Memorial Production Partners LP (the "Partnership") entered into an underwriting agreement (the
"Underwriting Agreement"), by and among the Partnership, Memorial Production Partners GP LLC (the "General Partner") and Memorial Production Operating LLC ("Operating LLC" and, together with the Partnership and the
General Partner, the "Partnership Parties") and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Raymond
James & Associates, Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the "Underwriters"), providing for the offer and
sale by the Partnership (the "Offering"), and purchase by the Underwriters, of 14,500,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the "Common Units") at a price to the public of $19.90 per Common
Unit ($19.12 per Common Unit, net of underwriting discounts). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,175,000 Common Units on the same terms. Assuming no
exercise of the Underwriters' option, the net proceeds of the Offering, including the General Partner's proportionate capital contribution and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before estimated expenses, will be
approximately $277.6 million. The Partnership expects the Offering to close on October 8, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Offering has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to the
Partnership's effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-187055) (the "Registration Statement"). The material terms of the Offering are described in the prospectus supplement dated October 2, 2013 filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (the "Prospectus Supplement") and the accompanying prospectus dated March 15, 2013 constituting a part of the Registration Statement.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of each of the Partnership Parties and customary
conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The Partnership Parties have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments
the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
As more fully described under the caption
"Underwriting" in the Prospectus Supplement, affiliates of certain of the Underwriters are lenders under the Partnership's revolving credit facility and, accordingly, may receive a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering. The
Underwriters and their affiliates may provide in the future investment banking, financial advisory or other financial services for the Partnership and its affiliates, for which they may receive advisory or transaction fees, as applicable, plus
out-of-pocket expenses, of the nature and in amounts customary in the industry for these financial services. An affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC serves as the Partnership's registrar and transfer agent and receives customary fees for
such service.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.

The information in this Item 7.01, including the attached Exhibit 99.1, is being "furnished" pursuant to General Instruction

any Partnership filing, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
