Stockholder Receivable The Company is party to a settlement agreement relating to a third-party claim against its former CEO under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the settlement agreement, the Company’s former CEO agreed to pay to the Company $5.0 million in four installments over four years commencing October 2013 and to waive his rights under his indemnification agreement with the Company with respect to the Section 16(b) action. The Company agreed to pay the fees of the plaintiff’s lawyers and paid the former CEO’s legal expenses as required under his indemnification agreement. Based on the nature of the settlement as well as the former CEO’s position as an officer of the Company at the time of the settlement, the receivable is classified as a component of additional paid-in capital in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amount receivable under the agreement as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $3.8 million. Restricted Common Stock Equity compensation provided to employees directly involved in exploration and development activities is capitalized to the Company’s oil and natural gas properties. Equity compensation not capitalized is recognized in general and administrative expenses, production expenses, cost of sales and midstream and marketing expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized equity compensation expense of $7.4 million, and $18.9 million, net of $1.9 million and $1.6 million capitalized, respectively, related to restricted common stock. See Note 15 for discussion of the Company’s performance units.
