ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES

On March 31, 2015, Energen completed the sale of the majority of its natural gas assets in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico and Colorado (effective as of January 1, 2015) to Southland Royalty Company, LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $395 million. The sales proceeds were reduced by purchase price adjustments of approximately $16 million related to the operations of the San Juan Basin properties subsequent to December 31, 2014 and one-time adjustments related primarily to liabilities assumed by the buyer, which resulted in pre-tax proceeds to Energen of approximately $378 million before consideration of transaction costs of approximately $2.8 million. Energen recognized a pre-tax gain of $27.1 million on the sale. The purchase price is subject to further purchase price adjustments following closing. Energen used proceeds from the sale to reduce long-term indebtedness. At December 31, 2014, proved reserves associated with these San Juan Basin properties totaled 69,038 MBOE.

Summarized below are the consolidated results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, on an unaudited pro forma basis which gives effect to the sale as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had the transaction occurred on the basis assumed above nor are they indicative of results of the future operations of the enterprises.
