Quoting Management: Cary D. Brown, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Reserves GP, LLC, the general partner of Legacy, commented: “2012 was a landmark year for Legacy, as we closed the largest acquisition in our history on December 20, the $502.6 million acquisition of Permian Basin properties from Concho. These properties are in some of the most prolific fields in the Permian Basin. With the exception of the Lower Abo, these properties provide us with a strong set of mature PDP assets with modest production decline rates as well as a very strong portfolio of proved and unproved drilling locations and developed, non-producing projects. Our integration of this acquisition is going smoothly thus far, and since assuming operations on January 1, our operations group is even more excited about the asset potential they are seeing.”
