On July 28, 2008, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 18, 2008 (the "Purchase Agreement"), Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC (the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Vanguard Permian, LLC consummated the acquisition of certain producing and non-producing oil and gas properties from Segundo Navarro Drilling, Ltd., an affiliate of the Lewis Energy Group ("Lewis"), in South Texas (the "Purchased Assets") for approximately $53.4 million in cash and Company units (the "Acquisition"). The consideration included $32.04 million in cash and $21.36 million in Company units or 1,350,873 units determined based on the 20 day average closing price of the units on the NYSE Arca prior to the closing date of the transaction ($15.81).
The Purchased Assets have total estimated proved reserves of 20 Bcfe as of June 1, 2008, of which approximately 98% is natural gas and 65% is proved developed. These reserves have a 1,150 Btu content. Lewis will continue to operate all of the wells acquired in this transaction and will operate the undeveloped portion of the properties, which Vanguard and Lewis will jointly develop. Based on the current net daily production of approximately 3,000 Mcf, the properties have a reserve to production ratio of approximately 18 years.
The $32.04 million cash portion of the purchase price was funded from borrowings under the Company's reserve-based credit facility and cash on hand. The purchase price is subject to final purchase price adjustments to be determined based on an effective date of June 1, 2008.
