Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. 

On December 18, 2014, the Compensation Committee awarded notional units under the Company’s 2009 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan to each of the executive officers of Sanchez Production Partners LLC (the “Company”) in the amounts set forth in the table below.  The notional units will convert on a one-for-one basis into restricted common units of Sanchez Production Partners LP upon unitholder approval of a proposed Sanchez Production Partners LP Long-Term Incentive Plan and the conversion of the Company from a limited liability company into a limited partnership becoming effective.  The notional units or restricted units, as applicable, will vest in one-third increments on each December 15, 2015, 2016 and 2017.  If the new plan is not approved, or the foregoing two conditions are not otherwise satisfied by the applicable vesting date, then the notional units then vesting will be settled in cash at the fair market value of the Company’s common units as of such date.  Each notional unit carries the right to receive distribution credits when any distributions are made by the Company on its common units, which will be settled in cash when the notional units are converted or settled, as applicable.  The foregoing description of the notional unit award agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
