Sale of Gulf Properties. On February 25, 2014, the Company sold certain of its subsidiaries that own the Company’s Gulf Properties, for $750.0 million, subject to purchase price and post-closing adjustments, and the buyer’s assumption of approximately $370.0 million of related asset retirement obligations to Fieldwood Energy LLC. This transaction is not expected to result in a significant alteration of the relationship between the Company’s capitalized costs and proved reserves and, accordingly, the Company will record the proceeds as a reduction of its full cost pool with no gain or loss on the sale.

Under the agreement, the Company has agreed to guarantee certain plugging and abandonment obligations associated with the Gulf Properties to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management for a period of up to one year from the date of closing. The Company recorded a liability equal to the fair value of the guarantee at the time the transaction closed. As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of the guarantee was approximately $9.0 million. As part of the agreement, the buyer has agreed to indemnify the Company for any costs it may incur as a result of the guarantee. Additionally, the buyer of the Gulf Properties will maintain restricted deposits, totaling approximately $27.9 million, that have been placed in escrow for plugging and abandonment obligations associated with the Gulf Properties for a period of up to one year from the closing date. Upon expiration of the guarantee, the Company will receive payment for half of such restricted deposits, or approximately $14.0 million from the purchaser.
    
In conjunction with the divestiture of the Gulf Properties, the Company settled a portion of its existing oil derivative contracts in January and February 2014 prior to their respective maturities to reduce production volumes covered by derivative contracts in proportion to the anticipated reduction in production volumes due to the sale, which resulted in cash payments of approximately $69.6 million.

The following unaudited pro forma combined results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 are presented as though the Company divested of the Gulf Properties as of January 1, 2013. The pro forma combined results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 has been prepared by adjusting the historical results of the Company to include the historical results of the acquired properties and estimates of the effect of the transaction on the combined results. The supplemental pro forma results of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved had the transaction been in effect for the periods presented. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in this pro forma financial information because of future events and transactions, as well as other factors.
