SECTION 5 – Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 9, 2015, the Board of Directors of Alta Mesa Holdings GP, LLC, the general partner of Alta Mesa Holdings, LP, a Texas limited partnership (the “Company”), approved discretionary a cash bonus for David Murrell, Vice President of Land and Business Development for the year ended December 31, 2014. No other named executives of the Company were awarded cash bonuses for the 2014 fiscal year. All other compensation of the named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2014 was previously reported by the Company in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 59 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2015 (the "Annual Report"). As of the filing of the Annual Report, bonuses for the named executive officers had not been determined, other than for Michael A. McCabe, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and, therefore, were omitted from the Summary Compensation Table included in the Annual Report. Pursuant to Item 5.02(f) of Form 8-K, the bonus awarded to David Murrell, which was the sole bonus awarded for the year ended December 31, 2014, is set forth below together with the other compensation previously reported, and the new total compensation amounts for Mr. Murrell.
