Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

In addition to the Common Stock reported herein, the Reporting Person and/or its affiliates currently have long economic exposure to 4,700,183 shares of Common Stock and 441,078 shares of Preferred Stock through cash-settled equity swaps (the “Equity Swaps”) under which the profit to the Reporting Person and/or its affiliates will be based upon any increase in value in shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (as applicable) and the loss to the Reporting Person and/or its affiliates will be based upon any decrease in the value of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (as applicable) over the term of the transactions. The Equity Swaps may only be settled in cash and do not give the Reporting Person and/or its affiliates direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any shares and do not require the counterparty thereto to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Issuer. With respect to the Equity Swaps, the Reporting Person and/or its affiliates disclaim beneficial ownership over any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The Equity Swaps were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.

On February 5, 2018, the Reporting Person and certain of its affiliates entered into an Acknowledgement and Stipulation with the Issuer as follows:

In consideration of [Jones Energy, Inc.’s (the “Corporation”)] agreement to appoint Scott McCarty to [the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”)] as a director in Class III and as a member of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, such appointments being effective immediately, the [Reporting Person and its affiliated signatories hereto], on behalf of themselves and their respective affiliates, hereby agree that none of them shall, directly or indirectly, (1) effect, seek, or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in any solicitation of proxies (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or consents to vote any securities of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, including soliciting consents or taking other action with respect to calling a
