(WBI), a subsidiary of MDU Resources Group, Inc. (Company), entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Tesoro Refining &amp; Marketing Company LLC (Tesoro), an affiliate of Tesoro Corporation, to sell all of the outstanding membership interests in Dakota Prairie Refining, LLC (DPR) to Tesoro. WBI and Calumet North Dakota, LLC, a subsidiary of Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P., each previously owned 50 percent of the DPR membership interests and were equal members in building and operating the Dakota Prairie Refinery. To effectuate the sale, WBI acquired Calumet North Dakota&#8217;s 50 percent membership interests in DPR on June 27, 2016. The sale of the membership interests to Tesoro closed on June 27, 2016.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">As consideration for the DPR membership interests, Tesoro agreed to indemnify the Company&#8217;s subsidiary, Centennial Energy Holdings, Inc. (Centennial), for any losses and litigation expenses arising from Centennial&#8217;s guarantee of certain debt obligations of DPR that currently total approximately $66 million. WBI repaid $64.5 million of indebtedness outstanding under DPR&#8217;s revolving credit agreement, which includes WBI&#8217;s share and $28.5 million of Calumet&#8217;s share of the indebtedness as consideration for its DPR membership interests. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Company and certain of its subsidiaries provide electric and natural gas utility services to certain facilities owned by Tesoro and its affiliates, including DPR, and will continue to provide such services under arm&#8217;s-length transactions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;">Basis of Presentation</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments to the Company's historical financial results in connection with the sale of DPR. Management believes the adjustments made and the assumptions used are directly attributable to the sale, factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated statement of income. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March&#160;31, 2016, and the years ended December&#160;31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, give effect to the sale as if it occurred on January&#160;1, 2013, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the sale as if it occurred as of March&#160;31, 2016, the latest balance sheet data on file. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March&#160;31, 2016.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Company's anticipated after-tax impairment charge from the sale of DPR is in the range of $150&#160;million to $160&#160;million, subject to customary closing adjustments, and has not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company&#8217;s financial position or results of operations had the sale occurred as of and for the periods indicated. In addition, the adjustments are estimates, and as such, are subject to change. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are provided for illustrative and informational purposes only, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company&#8217;s future results of operations or financial condition had the sale been completed on the dates assumed</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">.
