On January 28, 2014, Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (“Magnum Hunter”) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Company”) closed on the sale of certain of the Company’s oil and gas properties and related assets in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas to New Standard Energy Texas LLC (“NSE Texas”), a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of New Standard Energy Limited (“NSE”), an Australian Securities Exchange-listed Australian company. The sale was made pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”), dated January 21, 2014, among the Company, NSE Texas and NSE. Magnum Hunter previously reported the entry by the parties into the PSA pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 23, 2014.

The divested properties and assets consisted primarily of approximately 5,182 net leasehold acres in Atascosa County, Texas and working interests in five horizontal wells that produced an aggregate of approximately 300 BOE/d (gross) at December 1, 2013, four of which wells were operated by the Company (the “Eagle Ford Assets”). The effective date of the sale was December 1, 2013. As consideration for the Eagle Ford Assets, the Company received aggregate purchase price consideration of U.S. $15 million in cash (before taking into account customary purchase price adjustments) and 65,650,000 ordinary shares of NSE valued, for purposes of the calculation of the purchase price, at approximately U.S. $9,500,000. The final determination of the customary adjustments to the purchase price will be made by the parties approximately 120 days after closing.

In connection with the closing of the sale, Shale Hunter, LLC, a subsidiary of Magnum Hunter (“Shale Hunter”), and NSE Texas entered into the previously negotiated Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”). The TSA provides that, during a specified transition period, Shale Hunter will provide NSE Texas with certain transitional services relating to the Eagle Ford Assets for a predetermined amount of fees, as set forth in the TSA.

The foregoing descriptions of the PSA and the TSA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete texts thereof, copies of which are filed herewith as, respectively, Exhibits 2.1 and 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Upon and as a result of the closing of the sale of the Eagle Ford Assets on January 28, 2014, the borrowing base under Magnum Hunter’s asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility maturing April 13, 2016 was automatically reduced by $10 million to $232.5 million as of the closing pursuant to the terms of Magnum Hunter’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2013, by and among Magnum Hunter, as borrower, certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, the lenders party thereto and the agents party thereto.
