DIVESTITURE

On February 27, 2017, we completed the sale of the Appalachia Properties to EQT for net cash consideration of approximately $522.5 million. We no longer have assets or operations in Appalachia. Since accounting for the sale of these oil and gas properties as a reduction of the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties would have significantly altered the relationship between capitalized costs and reserves, we recognized a gain on the sale of $213.5 million during the period from January 1, 2017 through February 28, 2017 (Predecessor), computed as follows (in thousands):



Net consideration received for sale of Appalachia Properties		$	522,472
Add:	Release of funds held in suspense	4,139
	Transfer of asset retirement obligations	8,672
	Other adjustments, net	2,597
Less:	Transaction costs	(7,087		)
	Carrying value of properties sold	(317,340		)
Gain on sale		$	213,453

The carrying value of the properties sold was determined by allocating total capitalized costs within the U.S. full cost pool between properties sold and properties retained based on their relative fair values.
