Divestiture
On March 5, 2014, the Company completed the sale of certain non-operated properties in its Sanish project area and other non-operated leases adjacent to its Sanish position (the “Sanish Divestiture”) for cash proceeds of approximately $321.9 million, which includes, and is subject to further, customary post close adjustments. The Company recognized a $183.4 million gain on sale of properties in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The transaction was structured as an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchange for tax purposes and as such did not give rise to any currently taxable gain.
