Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on September 30, 2020 (the "Petition Date"), Lonestar Resources US Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "we"), and certain of its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the "Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for relief (collectively, the "Petitions" and, the cases commenced thereby, the "Cases") under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston) (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Debtors also filed with the Bankruptcy Court the proposed Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization for Lonestar Resources US Inc. and its Affiliate Debtors under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as described below (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Plan"), as contemplated by that certain Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2020 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "RSA") among the Debtors and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent under the Company's revolving credit facility, certain lenders (the "Consenting RBL Lenders") under the Company's revolving credit facility and certain holders (the "Consenting Noteholders" and, together with the Consenting RBL Lenders, the "Consenting Creditors") of the Company's outstanding 11.25% senior notes due 2023 (the "Notes"). On November 12, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming and approving the Plan.

Plan of Reorganization

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary highlights only certain substantive provisions of the Plan and is not intended to be a complete description of the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by



reference.

Pursuant to the Plan:



         •   Exit Facilities. On the effective date of the Plan (the "Effective
             Date"), the reorganized Debtors shall enter into (a) a first-out
             senior secured revolving credit facility in an amount equal to 80% of
             the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans and letters of
             credit under the Company's existing revolving credit facility of the
             Consenting RBL Lenders and any other lender under the existing
             revolving credit facility that agrees to accept the Plan (the
             "Accepting Lenders"); provided that, on the Effective Date, the
             aggregate principal amount of the new revolving credit facility shall
             not be less than $152 million (the "Exit RBL Facility"), (b) a
             second-out-senior-secured term loan credit facility in an amount equal
             to 20% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans and
             letters of credit under the Company's existing revolving credit
             facility of the Consenting RBL Lenders and the Accepting Lenders (the
             "Second-Out Exit Term Facility"), and (c) if necessary, a
             last-out-senior-secured term loan credit facility in an amount equal
             to 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans and
             letters of credit of any lenders under the existing revolving credit
             facility that are not Consenting RBL Lenders or Accepting Lenders (the
             "Last-Out Exit Term Facility").




         •   Distributions to Creditors and Equityholders. The Plan provides for
             the following distributions to creditors and equityholders:




            •    RBL Lenders. On the Effective Date, each holder of an allowed
                 claim under the prepetition revolving credit facility that agreed
                 to accept the Plan will receive its pro rata share of: (i) cash in
                 an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest (at the
                 non-default rate so long as the RSA has not been terminated),
                 fees, and other amounts (excluding amounts owed for principal,
                 undrawn letters of credit and contingent reimbursement and
                 indemnification obligations) owing under the prepetition revolving
                 credit facility through the Effective Date, to the extent not
                 previously paid (the "RBL Cash Distribution"), (ii) revolving
                 loans under the Exit RBL Facility, (iii) warrants (the "New
                 Warrants") to purchase up to 10% of the new equity interests (the
                 "New Equity Interests") to be issued by the reorganized Company
                 pursuant to the Plan (subject to dilution only by the MIP Equity
                 (as defined herein)), and (iv) term loans under the Second-Out
                 Exit Term Facility. Each holder of an allowed claim under the
                 prepetition revolving credit facility that does not vote on the
                 Plan or votes to reject the Plan shall receive its pro rata share
                 of: (x) the RBL Cash Distribution and (y) term loans under the
                 Last-Out Exit Term Facility.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


            •    Noteholders. On the Effective Date, each holder of an allowed
                 Notes claim will receive its pro rata share of 96% of the New
                 Equity Interests (subject to dilution by the MIP Equity and the
                 New Warrants).




            •    General Unsecured Creditors. On or as soon as practicable after
                 the earliest to occur of the Effective Date and the date a general
                 unsecured claim becomes due in the ordinary course of business,
                 except to the extent that a holder agrees to less favorable
                 treatment, each holder of a general unsecured claim will receive
                 payment in full in cash on account of its allowed general
                 unsecured claim or such other treatment as would render such claim
                 unimpaired.




            •    Preferred Equity Interests. All existing Series A-1 Preferred
                 Stock (the "Preferred Stock") of the Company shall be cancelled,
                 and each holder of such Preferred Stock shall receive on account
                 of such Preferred Stock, its pro rata share of 3% of the New
                 Equity Interests (subject to dilution by the MIP Equity and the
                 New Warrants).




            •    Common Equity Interests. All existing Class A Common Stock (the
                 "Common Stock") in the Company shall be cancelled, and each holder
                 of the Common Stock shall receive on account of such Common Stock,
                 its pro rata share of 1% of the New Equity Interests (subject to
                 dilution by the MIP Equity and the New Warrants).




         •   Management Incentive Plan. On or before the 60th day following the
             Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the
             reorganized Company shall enter into a management incentive plan (the
             "Management Incentive Plan"), which shall (a) reserve 8% of the New
             Equity Interests (or restricted stock units, options, or other rights
             exercisable, exchangeable, or convertible into such New Equity
             Interests) on a fully diluted basis (the "MIP Equity") to certain
             members of senior management to be determined by the directors of the
             initial board or other governing body of the reorganized Company (the
             "New Board") and (b) otherwise contain terms and conditions (including
             the form of awards, allocation of awards, vesting and performance
             metrics) to be determined by the New Board.




         •   Board Composition. The composition of the New Board will consist of
             five (5) directors in total, which will include the Chief Executive
             Officer of the reorganized Company and other directors designated by
             certain holders of the Notes.
