INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2006 (the “Schedule TO”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2006, by Everflow Eastern Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s offer to purchase up to 567,467 units of limited partnership interest (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $22.87 per Unit in cash upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase for Cash and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”). This Amendment No. 2 is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Copies of the Offer to Purchase for Cash and the Letter of Transmittal were previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2006 with the Schedule TO as exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2) respectively.
The information in the Offer is incorporated in this Amendment No. 2 by reference in response to all of the applicable items in Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.
Item 4.Terms of the Transaction, Item 5.Past Contracts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements, Item 6.Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals and Item 11.Additional Information
Item 4—Terms of the Transaction, Item 5—Past Contracts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements, Item 6—Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals and Item 11—Additional Information, which incorporates by reference the Offer to Purchase for Cash and the Letter of Transmittal, is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
(1) The “Introduction” of the Offer to Purchase for Cash is amended as follows:
The sixth and seventh sentences of the second paragraph of the Introduction are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
| | “For purposes of the calculation of the Adjusted Book Value of the Company, the “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows” reported on page 10 of this Offer to Purchase was determined based upon a review and analysis of the Company’s Proved Developed Reserves as of December 31, 2005. The information about such reserves was presented in the reserve report prepared by Wright & Company, Inc., independent petroleum consultants. As required by the Partnership Agreement, the future net cash flows of the Company’s Proved Developed Reserves reported in the reserve report were discounted at an annual rate of 10% by Wright & Company. However, as discussed in the introduction to the reserve report, such discounted future net cash flows were not adjusted for federal income tax and excluded consideration of encumbrances against the Company’s properties, if any. In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, “Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities” and the Partnership Agreement, the Company further adjusted the discounted cash flow data set forth in the reserve report to reflect future income taxes, development costs, asset retirement obligations and salvage costs discounted at an annual rate of 10% and this “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows” of the Company’s Proved Developed Reserves at December 31, 2005 was utilized to calculate the Company’s Adjusted Book Value. The calculation used to determine the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows is consistent with the footnote disclosure regarding supplemental unaudited oil and gas information in the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2005.” |
(2) The “Risk Factors” section of the Offer to Purchase for Cash is amended as follows:
The second and third sentences of the “No Fairness Opinion” risk factor under the Risk Factors section are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the text below. The fifth sentence of the “No Fairness Opinion” risk factor under the Risk Factors section is deleted in its entirety.
| | “The Company engaged Wright & Company, Inc., independent petroleum consultants, to prepare a reserve report as of December 31, 2005 and such report included information regarding the Company’s Proved Developed Reserves and future net cash flows for all |
| | properties in which the Company owns an interest. As discussed herein, the reserve report’s conclusions about the future net cash flows of the Company’s Proved Developed Reserves at December 31, 2005 were used in determining the Adjusted Book Value of $212,031,000. As required by the Partnership Agreement, the information regarding future net cash flows of the Company’s Proved Developed Reserves reported in the reserve report were discounted at an annual rate of 10% by Wright & Company. However, as discussed in the introduction to the reserve report, such discounted future net cash flows were not adjusted for federal income tax and excluded consideration of encumbrances against the Company’s properties, if any. In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, “Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities” and the Partnership Agreement, the Company further adjusted the discounted cash flow data set forth in the reserve report to reflect future income taxes, development costs, asset retirement obligations and salvage costs discounted at an annual rate of 10% and this “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows” of the Company’s Proved Developed Reserves at December 31, 2005 was utilized to calculate the Company’s Adjusted Book Value of $212,031,000. The calculation used to determine the “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows” is consistent with the footnote disclosure regarding supplemental unaudited oil and gas information in the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2005.” |
