(1) A majority of the Class B common stock of the Issuer (the "Class B Shares") and an equivalent number of membership interests in Jones Energy Holdings, LLC (the "JEH LLC Units") reported herein were exchanged by a former employee of the Issuer (the "Former Employee") for shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer (the "Class A Shares"), with the remainder being similarly exchanged by certain non-executive employees of the Issuer (the "Electing Employees"). These exchanges were made pursuant to and in accordance with the Exchange Agreement dated July 29, 2013, included as Exhibit 10.3 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 30, 2013. The exchanges were solely for the benefit of the Former Employee and the Electing Employees, and no proceeds will go to Jonny Jones in connection therewith.
