Constellation Energy Partners’ Board of Managers Approves Plan of Conversion to a Limited Partnership

Constellation Energy Partners LLC (NYSE MKT: CEP) today announced that its board of managers has approved a plan of conversion pursuant to which the company would convert from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware limited partnership named Sanchez Production Partners LP (“Sanchez LP”). In connection with the conversion, an affiliate of Sanchez Oil & Gas Corporation (“SOG”) would become the general partner of the resulting limited partnership.

“SOG has demonstrated its commitment to being our sponsor,” said Stephen R. Brunner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Constellation Energy Partners. “Transferring control over our operations to a general partner affiliated with SOG is a logical step in our business relationship and evolution as a company. As a result of the conversion, we anticipate that we would be better positioned to cooperate with SOG and its affiliates in prospective business acquisitions and combinations. The limited partnership structure is also the more traditional organizational structure for a business like ours which, together with our efforts to restore a distribution, should position the company to be a more attractive investment alternative.”

Further approval of the plan of conversion is required by the company’s unitholders. The company anticipates seeking that approval by December 31, 2014.

Further Information

A proxy statement/prospectus containing detailed information relating to the plan of conversion will be sent to the company’s unitholders following the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declaring effective a registration statement relating to the Sanchez LP common units, of which such proxy statement/prospectus is a part. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any common units or other securities.
