Pressburg (ROAN) 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Exhibit 99.1

LINN ENERGY, INC.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

When referring to Linn Energy, Inc. (formerly known as Linn Energy, LLC) (“Successor” or “LINN Energy”), the intent is to refer to LINN Energy, a newly formed Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole or on an individual basis, depending on the context in which the statements are made. Linn Energy, Inc. is a successor issuer of Linn Energy, LLC pursuant to Rule 15d‑5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). When referring to the “Predecessor” in reference to the period prior to the emergence from bankruptcy, the intent is to refer to Linn Energy, LLC, the predecessor that will be dissolved following the effective date of the plan of reorganization and resolution of all outstanding claims, and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole or on an individual basis, depending on the context in which the statements are made.

The pro forma financial information gives effect to the following:

Roan Contribution: On August 31, 2017, LINN Energy, through certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, completed the transaction in which LINN Energy and Citizen Energy II, LLC (“Citizen”) each contributed certain upstream assets located in Oklahoma to a newly formed company, Roan Resources LLC (“Roan” and the contribution, the “Roan Contribution”), focused on the accelerated development of the Merge/SCOOP/STACK play in the Mid-Continent region. In exchange for their respective contributions, LINN Energy and Citizen each received a 50% equity interest in Roan, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments for the disposition of LINN Energy’s contributed net assets, but do not reflect pro forma adjustments for the acquisition of LINN Energy’s equity interest in the net assets of Roan, as this amount has yet to be determined and is not expected to be significant for purposes of S-X Article 11. The amounts reflected herein represent historical book values and may not represent current fair value.

California Assets Sales: On July 31, 2017, and July 21, 2017, LINN Energy, through certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, completed the sales of its interest in certain properties located in California to Berry Petroleum Company, LLC and Bridge Energy LLC, respectively (the “California Assets Sales”). LINN Energy used the net cash proceeds received of approximately $351 million to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under its revolving loan, to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock and for other general corporate purposes. As of July 31, 2017, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Successor’s credit facility.

As a result of the Company’s strategic exit from California, the Company classified the assets and liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of its California properties as discontinued operations on its condensed consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The California Assets Sales were not individually significant for purposes of S-X Article 11, and therefore, the pro forma adjustment for the discontinued operations is limited to only the most recent year.

Jonah Assets Sale: On May 31, 2017, LINN Energy, through certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, completed the sale of its interest in properties located in western Wyoming to Jonah Energy LLC (the “Jonah Assets Sale”). LINN Energy used the net cash proceeds received of approximately $560 million to repay in full its approximate $294 million term loan as well as repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under its revolving loan.

Reorganization and Fresh Start Accounting: On May 11, 2016 (the “Petition Date”), Linn Energy, LLC and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases were administered jointly under the caption In re Linn Energy, LLC, et al., Case No. 16-60040. LINN Energy emerged from bankruptcy effective February 28, 2017 (the “Effective Date”). Upon emergence from bankruptcy on February 28, 2017, LINN Energy adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in it becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes.

1

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Roan Contribution as if the transaction had been completed as of June 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to (i) the Roan Contribution, (ii) the California Assets Sales, (iii) the Jonah Assets Sale, and (iv) LINN Energy’s plan of reorganization and fresh start accounting, as if each had been completed as of January 1, 2016.

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for informational and illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the transactions or the Effective Date had occurred on the dates indicated, nor are such financial statements necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations in future periods. The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not include realization of cost savings expected to result from the transactions or the plan of reorganization. The assumptions and estimates underlying the adjustments to the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should also be read in conjunction with LINN Energy’s historical financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as amended, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, is derived from the historical consolidated balance sheet of LINN Energy with adjustments to reflect the Roan Contribution.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016, are derived from:

• the historical consolidated statements of operations of LINN Energy;

• adjustments to reflect the Roan Contribution;

• adjustments to reflect the California Assets Sales;

• adjustments to reflect the Jonah Assets Sale; and

• adjustments to reflect LINN Energy’s plan of reorganization and fresh start accounting.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Roan Contribution as if the transaction had been completed as of June 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to (i) the Roan Contribution, (ii) the California Assets Sales, (iii) the Jonah Assets Sale, and (iv) LINN Energy’s plan of reorganization and fresh start accounting, as if each had been completed as of January 1, 2016. The transactions and events as well as the related adjustments are described below. In the opinion of LINN Energy management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly, in accordance with Regulation S-X, the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the transactions and events, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results following the transactions and events.

Note 2 – Description of Transactions

The pro forma financial information gives effect to the following:

Roan Contribution: On August 31, 2017, LINN Energy completed the Roan Contribution. In exchange for its contribution, LINN Energy received a 50% equity interest in Roan, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments for the disposition of LINN Energy’s contributed net assets, but do not reflect pro forma adjustments for the acquisition of LINN Energy’s equity interest in the net assets of Roan, as this amount has yet to be determined and is not expected to be significant for purposes of S-X Article 11. The amounts reflected herein represent historical book values and may not represent current fair value.

California Assets Sales: On July 31, 2017, and July 21, 2017, LINN Energy completed the California Assets Sales.

As a result of the Company’s strategic exit from California, the Company classified the assets and liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of its California properties as discontinued operations on its condensed consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The California Assets Sales were not individually significant for purposes of S-X Article 11, and therefore, the pro forma adjustment for the discontinued operations is limited to only the most recent year.

Jonah Assets Sale: On May 31, 2017, LINN Energy completed the Jonah Assets Sale.

Reorganization and Fresh Start Accounting: Upon emergence from bankruptcy on February 28, 2017, LINN Energy adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in it becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes.

LINN ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued

The assets and liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the properties contributed in the Roan Contribution and sold in the California Assets Sales and the Jonah Assets Sale were included in the historical financial statements of LINN Energy until the date of contribution or sale.

As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the plan of reorganization, the condensed consolidated financial statements on or after February 28, 2017, are not comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements prior to that date.

Note 3 – Pro Forma Adjustments

(a) Reflects the assets and liabilities associated with the Roan Contribution as of June 30, 2017. See below for a summary of the net assets contributed (in thousands):

Assets:
Current	$	332
Oil and natural gas properties	204,719
Total assets contributed	205,051
Liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	13,763
Asset retirement obligations	7,436
Total liabilities contributed	21,199
Net assets contributed	$	183,852

(b) Reflects LINN Energy’s investment in Roan based on the net assets contributed by LINN Energy. The final value of LINN Energy’s investment in Roan will be determined based on the fair value of Roan as of August 31, 2017, the date of the Roan Contribution.

(c) As discussed above, the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the disposition of LINN Energy’s contributed net assets but do not reflect the acquisition of the equity interest. The final value of LINN Energy’s investment in Roan will be determined based on the fair value of Roan as of August 31, 2017, the date of the Roan Contribution. Any difference between the final value of LINN Energy’s investment in Roan and the value of the net assets contributed by LINN Energy will result in a gain or loss that LINN Energy will recognize in its statements of operations.

(d) For the six months ended June 30, 2017, reflects the elimination of Effective Date share-based compensation expenses of approximately $50 million, which represent nonrecurring amounts directly attributable to the plan of reorganization and not expected to have a continuing impact, partially offset by the recognition of approximately $9 million in additional recurring share-based compensation expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, reflects the recognition of approximately $68 million in recurring share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by the elimination of the Predecessor’s share-based compensation expenses of approximately $34 million and prepetition restructuring costs of approximately $20 million. In December 2016, the Predecessor canceled all of its then-outstanding nonvested share-based awards without consideration given to the employees. In February 2017, the Successor granted new awards to certain of its employees in accordance with its plan of reorganization.

(e) Reflects a reduction of depreciation, depletion and amortization expense based on new asset values and useful lives as a result of adopting fresh start accounting as of the Effective Date.

(f) Reflects a reduction of interest expense as a result of the plan of reorganization. As of the Effective Date, borrowings under the Successor’s credit facility included a term loan of $300 million and a revolving loan of $600 million, which incurred interest at rates of 8.33% and 4.33% per annum, respectively. The pro forma adjustment to interest expense was calculated as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2017			Year Ended December 31, 2016
	(in thousands)
Reversal of Predecessor’s credit facility and term loan interest expense	$	15,265		$	100,605

Pro forma revolving loan interest expense on drawn amounts	(4,330		)	(25,980		)
Pro forma adjustments to decrease interest expense	$	7,765		$	143,015

(g) Reflects the elimination of nonrecurring reorganization items that were directly attributable to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which consist of the following:

	Predecessor			Successor
	Two Months Ended February 28, 2017			Four Months Ended June 30, 2017

(h) Effective February 28, 2017, upon consummation of the plan of reorganization, the Successor became a C corporation subject to federal and state income taxes. Prior to the consummation of the plan of reorganization, the Predecessor was a limited liability company treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, with the exception of the state of Texas, in which income tax liabilities and/or benefits of the Company were passed through to its unitholders. Limited liability companies are subject to Texas margin tax. In addition, certain of the Predecessor’s subsidiaries were C corporations subject to federal and state income taxes. As such, with the exception of the state of Texas and certain subsidiaries, the Predecessor did not directly pay federal and state income taxes and recognition was not given to federal and state income taxes for the operations of the Predecessor.

The pro forma adjustments to income tax expense (benefit) reflect the results of the Successor as a C corporation based on an estimated tax rate of 37.6%.

(i) Reflects the elimination of the revenues and direct operating expenses associated with the Jonah Assets Sale, California Assets Sales and Roan Contribution.

(j) Reflects a reduction of depreciation, depletion and amortization expense as a result of the Jonah Assets Sale, California Assets Sales and Roan Contribution.

(k) Reflects a reduction of interest expense as a result of the repayment of debt of approximately $560 million and $183 million from the net cash proceeds received from the Jonah Assets Sale and California Assets Sales, respectively.

(l) In accordance with the plan of reorganization, on the Effective Date, all units of the Predecessor that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date were extinguished without recovery, and approximately 89.2 million shares of Class A common stock were issued. In addition, approximately 0.6 million restricted stock units were issued and vested on the Effective Date. These transactions were assumed to have occurred as of January 1, 2016.

Note 4 – Supplemental Oil and Natural Gas Reserve Information

The following table sets forth certain unaudited pro forma information concerning LINN Energy’s proved oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) reserves for the year ended December 31, 2016, giving effect to the Roan Contribution, California Assets Sales and Jonah Assets Sale as if each had been completed as of January 1, 2016.

The following table sets forth the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved reserves as of December 31, 2016, giving effect to the Roan Contribution, California Assets Sales and Jonah Assets Sale. Future cash inflows are computed by applying applicable prices relating to the Company’s proved reserves to the year-end quantities of those reserves. Future production, development, site restoration and abandonment costs are derived based on costs assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. There are no future income tax expenses because the Predecessor was not subject to federal income taxes. Limitedliability companies are subject to Texas margin tax; however, these amounts are not material.

⁽¹⁾  In accordance with SEC regulations, reserves were estimated using the average price during the 12-month period, determined as an unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. The average price used to estimate reserves is held constant over the life of the reserves.

The data presented should not be viewed as representing the expected cash flow from, or current value of, existing proved reserves since the computations are based on a large number of estimates and assumptions. The required projection of production and related expenditures over time requires further estimates with respect to pipeline availability, rates of demand and governmental control. Actual future prices and costs are likely to be substantially different from the current prices and costs utilized in the computation of reported amounts. Any analysis or evaluation of the reported amounts should give specific recognition to the computational methods utilized and the limitations inherent therein.
