Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition of Assets.
 
On December  4, 2009,  Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC (“Vanguard” or the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vanguard Permian, LLC, had entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated November 27, 2009, with private sellers (“Sellers”) (the “PSA”) to purchase producing natural gas and oil properties in the Permian Basin (the “Properties”) for approximately $55.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment.

The Properties have total estimated proved reserves of 3.2 million barrels of oil equivalent, of which approximately 83% are oil reserves and 65% is proved developed. Based on current net production of approximately 780 barrels of oil equivalent per day, the Properties have a reserve to production ratio of approximately 11 years.

In an effort to support stable cash flows from this transaction, the Company entered into crude oil swaps based on NYMEX pricing for approximately 90% of the estimated oil production from existing producing wells in the Properties for the period beginning January 2010 extending through December 2013.   A schedule of the oil hedges entered into is shown below:

The closing of the transaction contemplated in the PSA was completed on December 2, 2009 for a purchase price of $55.0 million, subject to customary post closing adjustments. The purchase price was initially funded from borrowings under the Company’s existing reserve-based credit facility. The purchase price is subject to final purchase price adjustments to be determined based on an effective date of October 1, 2009.  Pursuant to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, the Company hereby provides the audited statement of combined revenues and direct operating expenses for the Properties for the year ended December 31, 2008, the unaudited statement of combined revenues and direct operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Company reflecting the acquisition of the Properties as if the transaction occurred on September 30, 2009.
