On December 22, 2015, Resolute Southwest closed the Gardendale Sale transaction.  The Gardendale Sale is effective as of September 1, 2015.

In connection with the Gardendale Sale, the Company's borrowing base under its Revolving Credit Facility was reduced by $20 million to $145 million. The remainder of the net proceeds of the sale will be used in a combination of cash held on the Company's balance sheet and repayment of a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Company's second lien term loan.
