Oil and Natural Gas Property Transactions | Oil and Natural Gas Property Transactions WildHorse Acquisition On February 1, 2019, we acquired WildHorse Resource Development Corporation (“WildHorse”), an oil and gas company with operations in the Eagle Ford Shale and Austin Chalk formations in southeast Texas for approximately 717.4 million shares of our common stock and $381 million in cash. We funded the cash portion of the consideration through borrowings under the Chesapeake revolving credit facility. In connection with the closing, we acquired all of WildHorse’s debt. See Note 6 for additional information on the acquired debt. Purchase Price Allocation The acquisition of WildHorse and its corresponding merger (the “Merger”) with and into our wholly owned subsidiary, Brazos Valley Longhorn, L.L.C. (“Brazos Valley Longhorn” or “BVL”) has been accounted for as a business combination, using the acquisition method. The following table represents the preliminary allocation of the total purchase price of WildHorse to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair values as of the acquisition date. Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, and includes, but is not limited to, valuation of pre-acquisition contingencies, final tax returns that provide the underlying tax basis of WildHorse’s assets and liabilities and final appraisals of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We expect to complete the purchase price allocation during the 12-month period following the acquisition date, during which time the value of the assets and liabilities may be revised as appropriate.
