On January 14, 2009, XTO Energy issued a news release announcing that the Company had monetized and reset 37% of its hedge position. A copy of the news release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

Early Settlement of Hedges

As discussed in the releases, in December 2008 and January 2009 the Company entered into early settlement and reset arrangements with four of its financial counterparties covering its 2009 natural gas and crude oil hedge volumes. As a result of these early settlements, the Company received approximately $1.4 billion ($900 million after-tax) which was used to reduce outstanding debt. Of this amount, approximately $450 million ($300 million after-tax) was received in 2008 and the remainder was received in 2009. The effects of these transactions are discussed below:
