Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 14, 2016, solely in order to provide for a nearly equal apportionment of the members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PDC Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) among the three classes of the Board as contemplated by the Company’s certificate of incorporation, Barton R. Brookman resigned as a Class II member of the Board, and was appointed as a Class III member of the Board, in each case to be effective immediately prior to the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Brookman will be nominated for re-election as a Class III member of the Board at that stockholders’ meeting. The reassignment of Mr. Brookman from Class II to Class III had no effect on any aspect of his employment relationship or compensatory arrangements with the Company, and he continues to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Brookman’s reclassification is associated with the approved reduction in the size of the Board to seven, which is anticipated to be effective at the conclusion of the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Trimble, a current director and the Company’s prior CEO, is transitioning off the Board at that time in accordance with corporate best practices and in conjunction with the completion of his consulting duties at the beginning of 2016.
