NOTE N — RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

On June 16, 2015, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Warren E&P, Inc., entered into non-exclusive purchase and sale agreements with Escalera Resources, Co., pursuant to which Warren will sell all of its interests in its shallow depth coal bed methane assets, which are located in the Atlantic Rim area of the Washakie Basin in Carbon County, Wyoming, appurtenant midstream pipeline assets, and an undivided 30% of its interest in certain deep rights associated with Warren’s former leases in the Atlantic Rim area, to Escalera with an effective date of April 1, 2015. The total purchase price for these assets will be $47 million, with $42 million payable in cash at closing. Following consummation of the transaction, Warren will retain 70% of the operated deep rights associated with Warren’s former leases in the Atlantic Rim area, across 68,700 gross acres, which are currently being evaluated for potential upside in a number of the deep formations present. The sale is subject to closing conditions and adjustments, including completion of the purchaser’s financing.
