The fifteen wells are in the active heart of the Haynesville Shale that are just out of the decline curve with stable monthly production and with the upside of more wells to be drilled on the acreage. The Marcellus wells are in a productive area and are just out of the decline curve as well. We have great confidence in Vine as a pure-play Operator in the Haynesville as well as Southwestern in the Marcellus and we look forward to jointly benefiting as they continue to operate and develop.

We remain focused on executing our business plan and creating long-term value for our shareholders.
