After final purchase price adjustments, the Company received net divestiture proceeds of $492.2 million, and recorded a final net gain of $410.6 million related to these divested assets for the year ended December 31, 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, the company entered into definitive agreements for the sale of its Divide County assets (the “Divide County Divestiture”) and its Halff East assets in the Midland Basin (the “Halff East Divestiture”). Certain of these assets were written down by $24.1 million during the first quarter of 2018 to reflect fair value less estimated costs to sell upon classification as held for sale. These divestitures were completed during the second quarter of 2018.

These trades were recorded at carryover basis with no gain or loss recognized. No such trades occurred during the first quarter of 2018.
