2 Forward-Looking Statements This communication contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, including within the
meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 that are not limited to historical facts, but reflect Ranges and MRDs current beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future events. Words such as may, will, could, should, expect, plan, project,
intend, anticipate, believe, estimate, predict, potential, pursue, target, continue, and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The statements
in this press release that are not historical statements, including statements regarding the expected timetable for completing the proposed transaction, benefits and synergies of the proposed transaction, costs and other anticipated financial
impacts of the proposed transaction; the combined companys plans,
objectives, future opportunities for the combined company and products, future financial performance and operating results and any other statements regarding Ranges and MRDs future expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, financial conditions, assumptions or future events or
performance that are not historical facts, are forward- looking
statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Furthermore, the statements relating to the proposed transaction are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond
Ranges or MRDs control, which could cause actual results to
differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: failure to obtain the required votes of Ranges or MRDs shareholders; the timing to consummate the proposed transaction; satisfaction of the conditions to closing of
the proposed transaction may not be satisfied or that the closing of the
proposed transaction otherwise does not occur; the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed transaction is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; the ultimate timing, outcome
and results of integrating the operations of Range and MRD; the effects of
the business combination of Range and MRD, including the combined companys future financial condition, results of operations, strategy and plans; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction;
expected synergies and other benefits from the proposed transaction and the
ability of Range to realize such synergies and other benefits; expectations regarding regulatory approval of the transaction; results of litigation, settlements and investigations; and actions by third parties, including governmental agencies; changes in the demand for or price of oil and/or
natural gas can be significantly impacted by weakness in the worldwide
economy; consequences of audits and investigations by government agencies and legislative bodies and related publicity and potential adverse proceedings by such agencies; compliance with environmental laws; changes in government regulations and regulatory requirements, particularly those
related to oil and natural gas exploration; compliance with laws related to
income taxes and assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable income; weather-related issues; changes in capital spending by customers; delays or failures by customers to make payments owed to us; impairment of oil and natural gas properties; structural changes in the oil and natural gas industry; and
maintaining a highly skilled workforce.
Ranges and MRDs respective reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2016, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other SEC filings discuss
some of the important risk factors identified that may affect these factors and Ranges and MRDs respective business, results of operations and financial condition. Range and MRD undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements that speak only as of the date hereof. The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are estimates that geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions as well as the option to disclose probable and possible reserves. Range has elected not to disclose the Companys probable and possible reserves in its filings with the SEC. Range uses certain broader
terms such as "resource potential, unrisked resource
potential, "unproved resource potential" or "upside" or other descriptions of volumes of resources potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques
that may include probable and possible reserves as defined by the SEC's guidelines.
Range has not attempted to distinguish probable and possible reserves from these broader classifications. The SECs rules prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC these broader classifications of reserves. These
estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved,
probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized. Unproved resource potential refers to Range's internal estimates of hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling
or recovery techniques and have not been reviewed by independent
engineers. Unproved resource potential does not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer's Petroleum Resource Management System and does not include proved reserves. Area wide unproven resource potential has not been fully risked by Range's
management. EUR, or estimated ultimate recovery, refers
to our managements estimates of hydrocarbon quantities that may be recovered from a well completed as a producer in the area. These quantities may not necessarily constitute or represent reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineers Petroleum Resource Management System or the
SECs oil and natural gas disclosure rules. Actual quantities that may
be recovered from Range's interests could differ substantially. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Range's drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, commodity prices, availability of drilling and completion services
and equipment, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory
approvals, field spacing rules, recoveries of gas in place, length of horizontal laterals, actual drilling and completion results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates and other factors. Estimates of resource potential may change significantly as development of
our resource plays provides additional data.
In addition, our production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production
decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future
drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, available from our website at www.rangeresources.com or by written request to 100
Throckmorton Street, Suite 1200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. You can
also obtain this Form 10-K on the SECs website at www.sec.gov or by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. |
