Item5.03

Effective December21, 2016, the Board of Directors (the Board) of
RSP Permian, Inc. (the Company) approved an amendment to the
Companys Amended and Restated Bylaws (the Amended and Restated
Bylaws). The amendment establishes a majority voting and
resignation process for uncontested director elections. The
amendment requires a majority of the votes cast by stockholders
at any meeting for the election of uncontested directors at which
a quorum is present to elect a nominee to the Board. If a nominee
who is an incumbent director is not elected and no successor has
been elected at the meeting, then the nominee must promptly
tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Boards
Nominating and Governance Committee (the Committee). The
Committee will recommend to the Board the action to be taken with
respect to the resignation. The Board will act on the tendered
resignation, taking into account the Committees recommendation,
and publicly disclose its decision within 90 days from the date
of the certification of the election results. If the Board does
not accept the incumbent directors resignation, the director will
continue to serve until his or her successor is duly elected, or
his or her earlier resignation or removal.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws retains a plurality voting
standard in contested elections where the number of nominees
exceeds the number of directors to be elected.

A copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached to this
Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amended and
Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws.
