STRICTLY PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL 1 Forward Looking Statements Our disclosure and analysis in this report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our forward-looking statements express our current expectations or forecasts of possible future results or events, including projections of future performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, future contracts, and forecasts of trends and other matters. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts and often use words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “believe”, “will likely result”, “outlook”, “project” and other words and expressions of similar meaning. No assurance can be given that the results in any forward-looking statements will be achieved and actual results could be affected by one or more factors, which could cause them to differ materially. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Among these risks and uncertainties are: (1) the ability of Magellan and Santos to complete and implement the terms of the asset swap in the Amadeus Basis and the related gas sales agreement; (2) whether the Company can successfully achieve cost savings while delivering revenue growth; (3) whether the workovers, recompletions and other drilling at Poplar will result in increased production and cash generation and/or will otherwise successfully assist in the development of Poplar; and (4) the production levels from the properties in which Magellan, through its subsidiaries, have interests, the recoverable reserves at those properties and the prices that will ultimately be applied to the sale of such reserves. For a more complete discussion of the risk factors that may apply to any forward looking statements you are directed to the discussion presented in Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011. Any forward-looking information provided in this report should be considered with these factors in mind. Magellan assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Non-GAAP Measures Disclosure Management believes that EBITDAX, the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measure used in this presentation provides investors with important perspectives into the company’s ongoing business performance. The company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measure differently. We define EBITDAX as follows - earnings before the deduction of interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization, exploration, non-cash compensation, and foreign exchange gain/expense.
