SABINE OIL & GAS AND FOREST OIL ANNOUNCE DEFINITIVE MERGER AGREEMENT

Complementary acreage positions create an industry leader in East Texas

HOUSTON, TEXAS and DENVER, COLORADO – May 6, 2014 – Sabine Oil & Gas LLC (“Sabine”) and Forest Oil Corporation (NYSE:FST) (“Forest”), today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement under which Sabine and Forest will combine their businesses in an all-stock transaction. Sabine and Forest’s highly complementary asset portfolios will create one of the industry’s largest East Texas players, benefiting from drilling program optimization and economies of scale. The combination is also strengthened by a sizable collective Eagle Ford position, as well as Granite Wash, Permian and Arkoma positions that provide optionality for development and monetization.

Upon completion of the combination transaction, Sabine unit holders will own approximately 73.5 percent of the new combined entity and Forest shareholders will own approximately 26.5 percent. The combined entity, named Sabine Oil & Gas Corporation, will be a newly formed parent company expected to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SABO”. The combined entity will be headquartered in Houston, Texas, and be led by Sabine’s current executive management team. The transaction is expected to be tax-free to Forest’s shareholders.

David Sambrooks, Sabine’s President and CEO, commented, “We are excited about this highly complementary combination, and the value creation it will bring to Sabine and Forest equity holders. Since Sabine began in 2007, we have focused on building a significant asset base in East Texas and with this combination we have created a leading industry position in this highly economic, multi-play basin. Sabine has had a successful track record of ~30% CAGR production and cash flow growth since its inception and industry-leading well results in all of our operating areas. We look forward to applying this operational expertise over the new combined asset base.”

Patrick R. McDonald, President and CEO of Forest commented, “We believe that this transaction creates a great opportunity for Forest shareholders to participate in the upside potential gained from a larger and better capitalized entity with a more robust suite of opportunities, and a broader portfolio upon which to execute its capital plan and strategy. Forest’s asset portfolio is an excellent complement with Sabine’s asset portfolio and we have confidence that Sabine’s management team is equipped to deliver exceptional shareholder value through the enhanced opportunities that are embedded in Forest’s assets.”

In addition to a top-tier 207,000 net acreage position in East Texas, the combination of assets creates a 65,000 net acreage position in the Eagle Ford. The complementary nature of Sabine’s and Forest’s assets present considerable opportunities to generate savings through operating synergies, benefits of scale, and optimized capital allocation.

The combined company will have estimated proved reserves of 1.5 trillion cubic feet equivalent (71% gas) (as of December 31, 2013), and estimated production of 345 million cubic feet equivalent (65% gas) for 2014, giving it a leading position among its peers in production and cash flow growth.

The enhanced financial strength and flexibility of the combined company will allow it to de-lever its balance sheet through optimized capital programs. Further, the combined company’s size and scope, in addition to the expected synergies, is expected to provide liquidity to fund its drilling program through 2015 without accessing equity markets. The new entity expects to quickly but prudently evaluate and execute on accretive asset divestments to accelerate balance sheet de-levering.

TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

Under the terms of the agreement, Sabine and Forest Oil will combine their businesses under a newly formed holding company, Sabine Oil & Gas Corporation (“Sabine Oil & Gas”). Forest Oil will merge with a subsidiary of Sabine Oil & Gas and survive as a subsidiary of Sabine Oil & Gas. As part of the transaction, each share of Forest Oil common stock will be converted into 0.1 of a share of Sabine Oil & Gas common stock, designed to replicate a 10:1 reverse stock split. Concurrent with the merger, Sabine’s parent entity will contribute all of its equity interest in Sabine to Sabine Oil & Gas, in exchange for which it will receive approximately 33 million shares of Sabine Oil & Gas common stock. As a result of the transaction, current Sabine unit holders and Forest Oil shareholders will own approximately 73.5% percent and 26.5% percent, respectively, of the outstanding Sabine Oil & Gas common stock upon closing of the combination.

The boards of directors of Sabine and Forest have each unanimously approved the transaction and Forest is recommending approval of the transaction to its shareholders. Consummation of the transaction is subject to approval by the Forest shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2014.

Upon completion of the transaction, David Sambrooks will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sabine Oil & Gas as well as President and Chief Executive Officer. Shane Bayless will serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Todd Levesque will serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The Board of Directors of the combined entity will be comprised of the existing six Sabine board members, as well as two of the current Forest board members. At closing, it is expected that at least a majority of the directors will be independent under NYSE rules.

The completion of this transaction will trigger change-of-control provisions in the indentures governing Forest’s existing senior notes. These change-of-control provisions entitle holders of the notes to receive 101 percent of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest with respect to each series of notes. Sabine expects that any of Forest’s notes that are not tendered pursuant to the change of control offers will remain outstanding following the transaction, subject to any opportunistic refinancing of such notes Sabine Oil & Gas may pursue based on market conditions.

Barclays Capital Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as financial advisors to Sabine. Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. is acting as an advisor to Sabine on portfolio optimization. Vinson & Elkins LLP acted as legal advisor to Sabine in the transaction, while Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP advised Sabine on financing matters.
