Item 8.01 Other Events.
     On December 5, 2008, Encore Operating, L.P. (“Encore Operating”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Encore Acquisition Company (“EAC”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Encore Energy Partners Operating LLC (“OLLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Encore Energy Partners LP (“ENP”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale by Encore Operating of certain oil and natural gas producing properties and related assets in the Arkoma Basin and royalty interest properties in Oklahoma as well as 10,300 unleased mineral acres from EAC. The purchase price is $49 million in cash, less associated acquisition-related hedge premiums of approximately $3 million, resulting in a net purchase price of approximately $46 million. The acquisition will be effective November 1, 2008 and is expected to close in early January 2009.
     Each of the parties to the Purchase Agreement is a direct or indirect subsidiary of EAC. As a result, certain officers of EAC serve as officers and/or directors of more than one of such entities. EAC and its affiliates, including Encore Operating, own approximately 20.92 million of ENP’s outstanding common units, or approximately 67 percent. EAC, through its indirect ownership of ENP’s general partner, also holds all 504,851 general partner units in ENP.
