Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The Issuer was formed on October 30, 2015 as a Delaware limited partnership to own and acquire mineral and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties throughout the United States.
At the closing of the Issuers initial public offering on February 8, 2017 (the Offering) and pursuant to the Contribution, Conveyance, Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2016, by and among the Issuer, Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Issuer (the General Partner), Kimbell Intermediate GP, LLC, Kimbell Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Kimbell Royalty Holdings, LLC and the other parties named therein attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 (the Contribution Agreement), in exchange for the contribution of certain assets to the Issuer, the Issuer issued, in addition to cash, (a) to KAF, 2,710,690 Common Units representing an aggregate 16.6% limited partner interest in the Issuer as of such time, (b) to BK GenPar, Inc., a Texas corporation (BK), 1,301 Common Units representing an aggregate less than 1.0% limited partner interest in the Issuer as of such time, (c) to OMI Rochester Holdings I, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (OMI), 119,136 Common Units representing an aggregate less than 1.0% limited partner interest in the Issuer as of such time, (d) to BGT Royalty Partners, LP, a Texas limited partnership (BGT), 983,630 Common Units representing an aggregate 6.0% limited partner interest in the Issuer as of such time and (e) to RCPTX Holdings Genpar, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (RCPTX), 11,875 Common Units representing an aggregate less than 1.0% limited partner interest in the Issuer as of such time, in each case based on 16,332,708 Common Units outstanding following the closing of the Offering on February 8, 2017, as set forth in the prospectus filed by the Issuer with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) on February 6, 2017, and the exercise in full by the underwriters of the Offering of their option to purchase an additional 750,000 Common Units of the Issuer. The initial public offering price for Common Units in connection with the Offering was $18.00 per Common Unit.
Effective May 12, 2017, the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the Board), upon the advice and recommendation of the Conflicts and Compensation Committee of the Board, approved the grant of restricted units under the Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP). Excluding the independent directors, each of the directors of the General Partner, including Mr. Fortson, was granted 22,637 Common Units, which will vest in one-third installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continuous service through the applicable vesting date. Upon the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the LTIP), all unvested restricted units will vest as of the date of the change in control. Upon a termination of service for any reason other than death or disability, all unvested restricted units will be immediately forfeited as of the date of termination.

Fortson IV) and the Fortson Grandchildrens Trust (FBO Coleman Carter Fortson) (together, the Fortson Grandchildrens Trusts) received 7,220 Common Units from OMI.
