Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 14, 2013, Rosetta Resources Operating LP, a Delaware limited partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosetta Resources Inc. (collectively, “Rosetta” or the “Company”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) with Comstock Oil & Gas, LP, a Nevada limited partnership and wholly-owned subsidiary of Comstock Resources, Inc. (collectively, “Comstock”). Pursuant to the PSA, at closing, Rosetta will acquire producing and undeveloped oil and natural gas interests in the Permian Basin in Gaines and Reeves Counties, Texas (the “Permian Basin Assets”) from Comstock for $768 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, including adjustments based upon title and environmental due diligence (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition will be effective as of January 1, 2013 and is expected to close on or about May 14, 2013; however, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing for the Acquisition will be satisfied.
The audited Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of Certain Oil and Gas Properties of the Permian Basin Assets for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, including the related Independent Auditor’s Report, are attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes of Rosetta as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 are attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
