Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 20, 2013, Devon Energy
Production Company, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership ("

Purchase

") with GeoSouthern Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect subsidiary of GeoSouthern ("
Seller
"), and, solely with respect to certain sections specified therein, GeoSouthern
Energy Corporation, a Texas corporation ("
GeoSouthern
"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Buyer has agreed to acquire (the "
Acquisition
") Seller's interests in certain affiliates (the "
Acquired
Companies
") that own certain oil and gas properties, leasehold mineral interest and related assets located in the Eagle Ford Formation (collectively, the "
Acquired Company Assets
"). The effective date of the purchase and
sale of the interests in the Acquired Companies is September 1, 2013 (the "
Effective Date
"). The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, subject to certain conditions, as described below.
The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition is approximately $6 billion (the "
Purchase Price
"). The Purchase Price is
subject to potential adjustments including, but not limited to, adjustments for certain title and environmental defects, if any, as well as customary adjustments to reflect the operation of the Acquired Company Assets following the Effective Date
and prior to the closing date. At closing, a portion of the Purchase Price will be placed into escrow for a specified period to fund certain indemnity obligations of Seller under the Purchase Agreement, if any.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities by Buyer and Seller. Among other things,
during the period between the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Acquisition, Seller has agreed to, among other things, cause the Acquired Companies to conduct their operations, including the operation of the Acquired Company
Assets, in the ordinary course and to restrict certain activities and capital expenditures.
