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

On February 20, 2017, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Atlas Energy Group, LLC (the “Company”) authorized the deferral until March 1, 2018 of the vesting of all phantom units granted to officers and employees under the Company’s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan that had previously been scheduled to vest during 2017. The deferral affects unvested phantom units held by Edward E. Cohen, Jonathan Z. Cohen, Daniel C. Herz, Jeffrey M. Slotterback and Mark D. Schumacher. As consideration for the deferral, the Company will make a deferred vesting payment to all employees (including the officers) equal to approximately 25% of the value of affected phantom units.

The Board determined the deferral was in the Company’s best interests as the Company continues to evaluate options regarding changes to its debt or equity capital structure.
