Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement

Battlecat Purchase Agreement

On May26, 2017, Lonestar Resources US Inc. (the
Company) entered into a purchase and
sale agreement (the Battlecat
Agreement
) with Battlecat Oil Gas, LLC (
Battlecat), to which the Company agreed
to purchase certain oil and gas properties in Dewitt, Gonzales
and Karnes Counties, Texas (the Battlecat
Assets
).

The unadjusted purchase price for the Battlecat Assets is
approximately $60million consisting of (i) $55million to be paid
in cash and (ii)approximately 1.2million shares (the
Battlecat Shares) of the Companys
ClassA Voting Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share
(ClassA
Stock
), subject to customary purchase price
adjustments including, among others, adjustments for revenues and
expenses, the estimated cost of any environmental liabilities and
title defects and title benefits.

Upon execution of the Battlecat Agreement, the Company paid 10%
of the unadjusted purchase price, or $6million, as a deposit (the
Battlecat Deposit). The Battlecat
Deposit is refundable to the Company if the Battlecat Agreement
is terminated for certain reasons, including, but not limited to,
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Battlecat
Agreement (the Battlecat Closing) has
not been consummated by August9, 2017, material adjustments to
the purchase price related to title defects and environmental
liabilities and certain breaches of the Battlecat Agreement by
Battlecat. Additionally, in connection with the Battlecat
Closing, Battlecat and the Company will enter into a Registration
Rights Agreement that will grant Battlecat customary registration
rights for the Battlecat Shares.

The Battlecat Agreement contains representations and warranties,
covenants, termination and indemnification provisions that are
customary for this type of transaction. The representations and
warranties and covenants in the Battlecat Agreement were made or
agreed to, among other things, to provide the parties with
specified rights and obligations and to allocate risk among the
parties. Accordingly, the Battlecat Agreement should not be
relied upon as constituting a description of the state of affairs
of any of the parties or their affiliates at the time it was
entered into or otherwise. The Battlecat Closing is expected to
be consummated by late June 2017, subject to the satisfaction of
customary closing conditions.

This summary of the Battlecat Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete, and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Battlecat Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit2.1 to this Current
Report on Form8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by
reference.

Marquis Purchase Agreement

On May26, 2017, the Company entered into a purchase and sale
agreement (the Marquis Agreement and,
together with the Battlecat Agreement, the Purchase
Agreements
) with SN Marquis LLC, a subsidiary of
Sanchez Energy Corporation (Marquis),
to which the Company agreed to purchase certain oil and gas
assets in Fayette, Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, Texas (the
Marquis Assets and, together with the
Battlecat Assets, the Assets).

The unadjusted purchase price for the Marquis Assets is
approximately $57,000,000million consisting of (i) $50million to
be paid in cash and (ii) 1.5million shares (Marquis
Shares
) of ClassA Stock, subject to customary
purchase price adjustments including, among others, adjustments
for revenues and expenses, the estimated cost of any
environmental liabilities and title defects and title benefits.

Upon execution of the Marquis Agreement, the Company paid 10% of
the unadjusted purchase price, or $5.7million, as a deposit (the
Marquis Deposit). The Deposit is
refundable to the Company if the Battlecat Agreement is
terminated for certain reasons, including, but not limited to,
closing has not been consummated as of July14, 2017, material
adjustments to the purchase price related to title defects or
environmental liabilities or breach of the Marquis Agreement by
Marquis. Additionally, in connection with the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Marquis Agreement, Marquis and
the Company will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement that
will grant Marquis customary registration rights for the Marquis
Shares.

The Marquis Agreement contains representations and warranties,
covenants, termination and indemnification provisions that are
customary for this type of transaction. The representations and
warranties and covenants in the Marquis Agreement were made or
agreed to, among other things, to provide the parties with
specified rights and obligations and to allocate risk among the
parties. Accordingly, the Marquis Agreement should not be relied
upon as constituting a description of the state of affairs of any
of the parties or their affiliates at the time it was entered
into or otherwise. The transactions contemplated by the Marquis
Agreement are expected to close by late June 2017, subject to the
satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

This summary of the Marquis Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete, and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Marquis Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit2.2 to this Current
Report on Form8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by

Securities Purchase Agreement

As part of the financing for the acquisition of the Assets, on
May26, 2017, the Company and Chambers Energy Capital III, LP (the
Purchaser) entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the SPA), to which
the Company agreed to sell to the Purchaser, in a private
placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), (i) 20,000 shares of
the Companys Series A-1 Convertible Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
Series A-1 Stock), and (ii) 60,000
shares of the Companys Series A-2 Convertible Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
Series A-2 Stock and, together with the
Series A-1 Stock,
the Preferred Stock), for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $78million, to the terms of the
SPA. The terms of the Series A-1 Stock and Series A-2 Stock will
be set forth in the respective Certificate of Designations
(together, the Certificates of
Designations
) for each series, a form of each is
attached to the SPA.

Each series of Preferred Stock
will rank senior to the ClassA Stock with respect to dividend
rights and rights upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution
of the Company and each series will initially have a stated value
of $1,000 per share (the Stated Value).
Holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote with the
holders of ClassA Stock on an as-converted basis.

Shares of Series A-1 Stock,
once issued, are immediately convertible into shares of ClassA
Stock at the option of the holders. The rate (the
Conversion Rate) each share of Series
A-1 Stock would be convertible into ClassA Stock is equal to the
Stated Value of such shares to be converted divided six, subject
to adjustment (the Conversion Price).
The Company will be able to convert Series A-1 Stock to ClassA
Stock if the volume weighted average price of ClassA Stock
exceeds the following percentages of the Conversion Price for
twenty out of thirty consecutive trading days: (i) 200% prior to
the second anniversary of the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the SPA (the SPA
Closing
), (ii) 175% after the second anniversary
but before the third anniversary and (iii) 150% after the third
anniversary. Upon the seventh anniversary of the SPA Closing, if
the trailing 20-day volume weighted average price of ClassA Stock
(the Prevailing Price) is equal to or
greater than the Conversion Price and upon certain other
conditions, then each share of Series A-1 Stock would
automatically convert to ClassA Stock at the then applicable
Conversion Rate. Upon approval of the Company Stockholders
(Stockholder Approval) of the
conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock issued or issuable to
the SPA, as required by the rules of the NASDAQ Global Select
Market, outstanding shares of the Series A-2 Stock will
automatically convert into shares of Series A-1
Stock.

Holders of the Preferred Stock
will be entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly at a
rate of 9% per annum (the Dividend
Rate
) in cash, or, for any 12 quarters
(PIK Quarters), at the Companys option,
(i)by paying additional shares of the respective series of
Preferred Stock or (ii)by increasing Stated Value. Holders of
Preferred Stock will also be entitled to receive dividends or
distributions declared or paid on ClassA Stock on an as-converted
basis. After 12 PIK Quarters, (x)if the Company fails to fully
declare and pay dividends in cash, then the dividend rate may
increase by as much as 9.0% per annum and (y)if the Company fails
to declare and pay all accrued dividends in cash, then the
Preferred Stocks Dividend Rate will increase by 5% per annum and
an additional 1% for each successive dividend period until a
maximum Dividend Rate of 20% per annum. If after the seventh
anniversary of the SPA Closing the Prevailing Price is less than
the Conversion Price, the Series A-1 Stock Dividend Rate shall
automatically increase to 20% unless automatically converted as
described above; however, the

Company, at its option, may
instead elect to exchange each share of Series A-1 Stock for
senior unsecured notes of the Company with a 2 year maturity, a
9% per annum coupon payable semi-annually in cash and governed by
terms substantially similar to the Companys most recent high
yield indenture at that time. If Stockholder Approval is not
obtained after six months after the SPA Closing, then the Series
A-2 Dividend Rate shall automatically increase by 5% per annum
and shall increase by an additional 0.5% each quarter thereafter
until Stockholder Approval is obtained.

The Company may, as its
option, redeem shares of the Preferred Stock in cash at (i)a
premium of 50% of Stated Value after the third anniversary of the
SPA Closing, (ii)a premium of 105% of Stated Value after the
fourth anniversary and (iii)Stated Value after the fifth
anniversary. If after the seventh anniversary the Company fails
to fully declare and pay a quarterly dividend in cash, then the
Company must redeem in cash all outstanding Series A-1 Stock at
Stated Value. If Shareholder Approval is not obtained after the
seventh anniversary, the Company must redeem all outstanding
Series A-2 Stock at Stated Value.

The Purchaser will initially
be able to designate one director to the board of directors (the
Board) of the Company. After the first
anniversary of the SPA Closing, so long as the Purchaser
beneficially owns at least (a) 30% of the Preferred Stock or 20%
of the ClassA Stock on an as-converted basis (or a combination
thereof) or (b) 15% of the Preferred Stock or 10% of ClassA Stock
on an as-converted basis (or a combination thereof), the
Purchaser will have the right to designate two or one directors,
respectively, to the Board.

The Purchaser will be subject
to certain standstill restrictions to which the Purchaser will be
restricted, among other things and subject to customary
exceptions, from purchasing additional securities of the Company,
proposing any merger or other extraordinary corporate
transaction, initiating any shareholder proposal or soliciting
proxies involving a change in the Companys management until the
later of (a)the two-year anniversary of after the date the
Purchaser is no longer entitled to designate any director to the
Board and (b)the Company fails to fully declare and pay all
accrued dividends after there are no PIK Quarters remaining for
either series of Preferred Stock.

In connection with the SPA
Closing, the Company and the Purchaser will enter into (i)a
Registration Rights Agreement (Preferred Registration
Rights Agreement
) that will grant the Purchaser
certain customary registration rights for shares of ClassA Stock
issuable upon the conversion of Series A-1 Stock acquired to the
PSA and (ii)a voting and support agreement that will provide for
the Purchaser to vote in favor of the Stockholder
Approval.

The SPA contains
representations and warranties, covenants, termination and
indemnification provisions that are customary for this type of
transaction. The representations and warranties and covenants in
the SPA were made or agreed to, among other things, to provide
the parties with specified rights and obligations and to allocate
risk among the parties. Accordingly, the SPA should not be relied
upon as constituting a description of the state of affairs of any
of the parties or their affiliates at the time it was entered
into or otherwise. The SPA is expected to closing simultaneously
with the closing of Purchase Agreements, subject to the
satisfaction of customary closing
conditions.

This summary of the SPA, the
Preferred Registration Rights Agreement, the Certificates of
Designations, the voting and support agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be
complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the SPA, which is filed as Exhibit10.1 to this
Current Report on Form8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01
by reference.

Item3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information in Item 1.01
of this Current Report on Form8-K regarding the contemplated
issuances of Preferred Stock and ClassA Stock is incorporated by
reference into this Item 3.02.The securities will be, in each
case, issued to the exemption from registration provided by
Section4(a)(2)of the Securities Act as an issuance not involving
a public offering. Battlecat, Marquis and the Purchaser
represented to the Company that each is an accredited investor as
defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act, and appropriate
legends will be affixed to any certificates evidencing the
Preferred Shares.
