On June 27, 2014, Linn Energy, LLC (the “Company”), through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) to acquire certain oil and natural gas properties and related assets located primarily in the Rockies, Mid-Continent, east Texas, north Louisiana and south Texas regions from affiliates of Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”), for a contract price of $2.3 billion, subject to closing conditions (the “Acquisition”). The Company anticipates that the Acquisition will close in the third quarter of 2014 and will be financed with $2.3 billion of committed interim financing, subject to final documentation.
