Following the recent drop in oil and natural gas prices, in an effort to reduce costs and better position the Company for ongoing efficient growth, on January 20, 2015, the Company committed to a company-wide restructuring and reduction in force (the "RIF") that includes (i) the relocation of certain employees in the Company's Dallas, Texas area office to the Company's other existing offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Midland, Texas; (ii) closing our Dallas, Texas area office; (iii) a workforce reduction of approximately 75 employees and (iv) the release of 24 contract personnel. The reduction in workforce was communicated to employees on January 20, 2015 and was generally effective immediately. The relocation of Company employees and the closing of the Company's Dallas, Texas area office are expected to be completed by June 1, 2015. The Company's compensation committee approved the RIF and the severance package offered in connection with the RIF.
