| • | | The Company established its Ultra Petroleum Corp. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Stock Incentive Plan”), pursuant to which 7.5% of the equity in the reorganized Company (on a fully-diluted/fully-distributed basis) is reserved for grants to be made from time to time to the directors, officers and other employees of the reorganized Company (the “Reserve”). |
• | | Indebtedness: On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan: |
| • | | Except to the limited extent expressly set forth in the Plan, all prepetition indebtedness and other outstanding obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Ultra Resources, Inc. (“Ultra Resources”) were cancelled and extinguished. The cancelled, extinguished indebtedness included: |
| • | | That certain Credit Agreement dated October 6, 2011, between Ultra Resources, as the Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Old Revolver”). On the Effective Date, the Company paid holders of claims related to the Old Revolver $999.0 million in respect of the outstanding principal obligations under the Old Revolver as well as other amounts in respect of accrued, unpaid prepetition interest, fees, and other items. |
| • | | Those certain unsecured senior notes issued by Ultra Resources, as Borrower, pursuant to a certain Master Note Purchase Agreement dated March 6, 2008 (the “PPNs”). On the Effective Date, the Company paid holders of claims related to the PPNs $1.46 billion in respect of principal amounts outstanding with respect thereto as well as other amounts in respect of accrued, unpaid prepetition interest, fees and other items. |
| • | | Ultra Resources entered into, as the Borrower thereunder, a certain Credit Agreement dated April 12, 2017 with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and with the other lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility for an aggregate amount of $400.0 million and is guaranteed by the Company and by UP Energy Corporation (“UP Energy”), a subsidiary of the Company. |
| • | | Ultra Resources entered into, as the Borrower thereunder, a certain Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement dated April 12, 2017 with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and with the other lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Agreement provides for senior secured first lien term loans for an aggregate amount of $800.0 million and is guaranteed by the Company and UP Energy. |
| • | | Ultra Resources issued $700.0 million of 6.875% unsecured senior notes due 2022 and $500.0 million of 7.125% unsecured senior notes due 2025 (collectively, the “Unsecured Notes”). The Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by the Company and UP Energy. |
• | | Operational Savings:Through the restructuring process, the Company was able to eliminate the previous transportation agreement and reduce the costs in the gathering and processing fee agreements. These factors were adjusted in the related expense financial statement line items as if the agreements had been revised as of January 1, 2016. |
• | | Interest Expense:As discussed in Indebtedness above, the Company secured new debt financing as part of its emergence from bankruptcy, thus the interest expense was adjusted accordingly. |
• | | Reorganization items, net:The expenses incurred as part of the Reorganization were evaluated and adjusted as necessary in the related unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations. |
Fresh Start Accounting
In connection with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy, we were not required to apply fresh start accounting to our financial statements because the reorganization value of our assets immediately prior to confirmation of the plan of reorganization was greater than the aggregate of post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. As a result, a new reporting entity was not created and the effects of the bankruptcy were recorded through the financial statements on the Effective Date.

(2) | The Company recorded pro forma adjustments to eliminate reorganization items, net of $57.7 million related to professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and $30.5 million, related to professional fees and written off deferred financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2016, as described in adjustment {o}. In addition, the Company recorded a pro forma adjustment to eliminate interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 related to prepetition indebtedness, which included $4.2 million ofnon-cash amortization of deferred financing costs. Finally, the Company recorded a pro forma adjustment to eliminate restructuring expenses of $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 related to attempted debt restructurings prior to filing its Chapter 11 petitions, as described in adjustment {m}. These expenses were incurred prior to emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, thus the Company recorded a pro forma adjustment to remove the above expenses from the respective periods presented. The corresponding impact is to retained loss as the amounts would have been recorded prior to the pro forma emergence date of January 1, 2016. |
(3) | The Company recorded pro forma adjustments to eliminate prepetition indebtedness interest expense of $85.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $66.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, as described in adjustment {l}. The adjustment included prepetition indebtedness interest related to the Holdco Notes of $71.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $25.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was considered in the gain on the debt to equity conversion included in footnote(1) above. The pro forma adjustment eliminates the related expense; thus the Company recorded a pro forma adjustment to retained loss for the corresponding impact assuming the emergence date occurred on January 1, 2016. |
{i} Adjustments represent the renegotiation of processing fee contracts with Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and Williams Partners L.P. (or their respective subsidiaries), which were approved by the Bankruptcy Court on February 22, 2017. The estimated annual savings per year totaled $12.0 million as a result of the renegotiated contracts and the primary terms of these contracts extend through 2036. The savings from the renegotiation of these contracts is reflected in two line items on the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016.
{i.1} The Company calculated a pro forma increase in other revenues, as these are fees paid to us by the operators of the gas processing plants where our gas is processed in exchange for the liquids removed from our production. The Company calculated the pro forma adjustment based on the actual production volumes and related other revenue per Mcf recorded by the Company and applied the other revenue per Mcf to the production volumes for each respective period presented. The impact shown in the pro forma adjustments is $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The impact shown in the pro forma adjustments is $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
{i.2} The Company calculated a pro forma decrease in gathering fees as the Company is no longer required to pay volume processing fees as part of the renegotiated contracts. The impact shown in the pro forma adjustments is $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The impact shown in the pro forma adjustments is $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
{j} Adjustment represents the restructuring of the Company’s respective legacy natural gas transportation agreements with Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (“REX”), and Sempra Rockies Marketing (“Sempra”), including the settlement of claims related to the agreements in connection with the Company’s Chapter 11 proceedings.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company’s agreement with Sempra was terminated during March 2016, and the Company’s agreement with REX was terminated during April 2016. The Company agreed to pay agreed to pay $150.0 million and $57.0 million to resolve the claims asserted by REX and Sempra, respectively, during the Company’s Chapter 11 proceedings in connection with such terminations. Additionally, in connection with the settlement of REX’s claims, the Company entered into a new seven-year natural gas transportation agreement with REX for transportation service on the Rockies Express Pipeline commencing December 1, 2019 (the “2019 Agreement”). Because the settlement amounts are considered nonrecurring in nature, those amounts were not included as a pro forma adjustment to contract settlement expense, net in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 or for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The Company estimates that the contract terminations described in the preceding paragraph would have resulted in annual savings per year during the periods presented in this pro forma financial information totaling $84.0 million, which such estimate is based on the historical transportation costs associated with these contracts as presented in the Company’s historical consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. An amount is included as a pro forma adjustment to remove legacy transportation costs because (w) certain transportation costs that arose under the legacy agreements were incurred prior to the termination of the agreements; (x) those costs were recurring in nature; (y) the Company did not incur any other transportation costs during the historical periods presented; and (z) the Company does not expect to enter into any interim arrangements for transportation service or to incur any future transportation costs until service begins under the 2019 Agreement.
Because the Company’s contract with Sempra was terminated during March 2016, and because its contract with REX was terminated during April 2016, the pro forma adjustment amount presented is less than the $84.0 million estimated total annual savings. In addition, for the same reasons, these pro forma adjustments do not reflect a full year of transportation costs recorded as of December 31, 2016. The impact shown in these pro forma adjustments is $20.0 million to remove the legacy transportation costs for the year ended December 31, 2016.
{k} Adjustment representsnon-cash stock compensation expense related to the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, which established on the Effective Date. As previously disclosed, 40% of the Reserve was granted to members of the board of directors, officers, and other employees of the Company subject to the conditions and performance requirements provided in the grants. The Company recognizes thenon-cash stock compensation expense based on the conditions and performance requirements provided in the grants in line with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718. The impact shown in the pro forma adjustments is $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017and $43.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
{l} Adjustments represent the changes in interest expense that are estimated to occur assuming the Reorganization occurred on January 1, 2016. The adjustments include (i) a decrease in interest expense incurred under the prepetition indebtedness, (ii) an adjustment for additional estimated interest that would have been incurred under the exit financing, and (iii) an adjustment for the estimated amortization of deferred financing costs. The adjustments are based on (x) estimated interest rates for the amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement as the rate can vary and (y) the estimated pro forma amount drawn on the Credit Agreement of $81.2 million as described in adjustment {f}. The interest rate used to compute pro forma interest on the Credit Agreement was based on historical Libor rates for the respective periods plus the applicable margin of 3.0%. The pro forma adjustment to interest expense comprises the following:

| | | | | | | | |
(1) | During the year ended December 31, 2016, interest expense was only recorded through April 29, 2016 (the “Petition Date”), and all deferred financing costs were written off in reorganization items, net, as previously disclosed. As a result, there is not a full year of interest expense recorded in the year ended December 31, 2016, and exit financing results in a pro forma increase in interest expense. The Company calculated the interest savings that would occur assuming a full year of interest had been recorded in the year ended December 31, 2016, noting the average interest rate on outstanding debt was 5.15% with an average historical borrowing of approximately $3.6 billion. The average interest rate on the exit financing obtained on outstanding debt was 5.82% with an average borrowing of approximately $2.1 billion. Thus, the average annual interest savings on a pro forma basis is expected to be approximately $63.2 million. This is not reflected in the pro forma adjustments due to the nature of the interest expense recorded during the year ended December 31, 2016. |
(2) | The adjustment for pro forma interest expense for exit financing is reflected as an adjustment of $28.9 million to interest payable, offset by a pro forma decrease in cash of $0.8 million in the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017. |
{m} Adjustment eliminates $7.2 million of restructuring expenses that were incurred by the Company in attempts to restructure the prepetition indebtedness prior to filing its Chapter 11 petitions. As these expenses would have occurred prior to emergence, the Company recorded a pro forma adjustment to eliminate the restructuring expenses from the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.
{n} There are no pro forma adjustments to contract settlement expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 as the expenses were determined to be nonrecurring in nature, as described in adjustment {j}.
{o} Adjustments eliminate certain reorganization costs incurred as part of the emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings for both periods presented.
{o.1} The adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2017 represent (i) the elimination of professional fees of $57.7 million incurred after the Petition Date that were attributable to our bankruptcy proceedings and settlements less (ii) $0.2 million in cash interest income earned after the Petition Date on excess cash over normal invested capital.
{o.2}The adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2016 represent the elimination of (i) professional and legal fees of $11.8 million incurred after the Petition Date that were attributable to our bankruptcy proceedings and settlements, (ii) thewrite-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $18.7 million under the Old Revolver, PPNs, and Holdco Notes, and (iii) the elimination of contract settlement expense of $17.4 million that was related to the Bankruptcy Court approved settlement with Big West Oil, LLC, less (iv) $0.4 million of cash interest income earned for the period after the Petition Date on excess cash over normal invested capital.
There was no pro forma adjustment made for commodity derivatives and related gain/loss as the decision to enter into commodity derivatives was made at the direction of management.

For the information provided above, proved developed reserves are the same as those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The same set of producing wells with the same reserves forecasts are included. All of the same parameters for backward-looking SEC prices and costs were utilized, as well as the same ownership decks and appropriate price adjustments. The Reorganization Adjustment represents the inclusion of the development plan for proved undeveloped reserves. This development plan is based on the Company’s best effort to develop a plan that could have been utilized to satisfy SEC requirements for such a plan inyear-end 2016 reserves.
The following table sets forth the standardized measure of estimated discounted future net cash flows attributable to the Company’s proved reserves as of December 31, 2016, giving effect to the Reorganization. Future cash inflows are computed by applying applicable prices relating to the Company’s proved reserves to theyear-end quantities of those reserves. Future production, development, site restoration, and abandonment costs represent the estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income tax expense was computed by applying statutory income tax rates to the difference between pretax net cash flows relating to the Company’s proved reserves and the tax basis of proved properties and available operating loss carryovers. The Company does not estimate any income taxes, as the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets and some or all of this valuation allowance may be reversed in future periods.
