Note 16 – Subsequent Event

In 2017 through the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the SEC, QEP closed on multiple acquisitions of surface acreage and mineral leases near its existing operations in the Permian Basin for an aggregate purchase price of $37.9 million, which were funded with cash on hand. Final purchase price accounting, if applicable, for these various transactions was not complete at the time this Form 10-K was filed with the SEC, and as such, any applicable disclosures required by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, have not been made herein. The Company will include any applicable information in future filings with the SEC.
