Centennial Resource Production, LLC (Centennial OpCo) and Celero Energy Company, L.P. |
Incentive Unit Compensation | Note 9—Incentive Unit Compensation Follow‑On Incentive Units Under the Amended and Restated NGP Centennial Follow‑On LLC Agreement (“Follow‑On LLC Agreement”), Follow‑On grants certain incentive units to certain employees of Centennial Resource Management, LLC (“Centennial Management”), a wholly‑owned subsidiary of Centennial HoldCo. Employees of Centennial Management provide substantially all of their services to the Predecessor and in substance the incentive unit holders are employees of the Predecessor; therefore, Follow‑On’s incentive units have been treated as obligations of the Predecessor for accounting purposes. In April 2015, Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, Tier IV and Tier V incentive units were issued. The following table summarizes Follow‑On’s incentive unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2015:
|  | Tier I |  | Tier II |  | Tier III |  | Tier IV |  | Tier V

All of the incentive units are non‑voting and subject to certain vesting and performance conditions. The terms of the incentive units are as follows: Tier I and Tier II incentive units vest ratably over five years, but are subject to forfeiture if payout is not achieved. In addition, all unvested Tier I and Tier II incentive units vest immediately upon Tier I and Tier II payout, respectively. Tier III, IV and V incentive units vest only upon the achievement of certain payout thresholds for each such tier and each tier of incentive units is subject to forfeiture if the applicable required payouts are not achieved. In addition, vested and unvested incentive units are forfeited if an incentive unit holder’s employment is terminated for any reason or if the incentive unit holder voluntarily terminates their employment. Payouts for each Tier I through V are based upon achievement of specified rates of return on Follow‑On’s invested capital. The incentive units are issued to employees in return for services provided and cash payout is based, in part, on the value of Follow‑On’s equity; therefore, the incentive units are accounted for as liability awards under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, with compensation expense based on period‑end fair value. The achievement of payout conditions is a performance condition that requires the Predecessor to assess, at each reporting period, the probability that an event of payout will occur. Compensation cost is required to be recognized at such time that the payout terms are probable of being met. No incentive compensation expense was recorded at December 31, 2015 or 2014, because it was not probable that the performance criterion would be met. Centennial HoldCo Incentive Units As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, Tier IV and Tier V incentive units had been issued to certain employees of Centennial Management. Employees of Centennial Management provide substantially all of their services to the Predecessor and in substance the incentive unit holders are employees of the Predecessor. Therefore, Centennial HoldCo’s incentive units have been treated as obligations of the Predecessor for accounting purposes. The following table summarizes Centennial HoldCo’s incentive unit activity for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

Centennial OpCo Incentive Units Under Centennial OpCo’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, Centennial OpCo issued certain incentive units to its management and employees. All of the incentive units were non‑voting and subject to certain vesting and performance conditions. The incentive units were accounted for as liability awards and compensation expense is based on period‑end fair value. On March 31, 2014, Centennial HoldCo agreed to purchase the entirety of Centennial OpCo’s issued and outstanding incentive units for total consideration of $12.4 million (the “Incentive Unit Purchase”). The closing and funding of the Incentive Unit Purchase occurred separately for each employee in accordance with each individual Membership Interest Purchase Agreement during the second and third quarters of 2014 and is included within the General and administrative expense line item in the consolidated and combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. Additionally, the Predecessor recorded a capital contribution from Centennial HoldCo of $12.4 million for funding of the Incentive Unit Purchase during the year ended December 31, 2014. As a result of the Incentive Unit Purchase, all of Centennial OpCo’s incentive units were fully settled and terminated as of August 31, 2014.
