Alta Mesa Sale Process

On September 16, 2019, the Alta Mesa Debtors filed a motion seeking approval of an auction and bidding procedures in connection with the sale of substantially all of their assets (the "Alta Mesa Sale Motion").  On October 11, 2019, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) entered an order [D.I. 317] (as amended by the Bankruptcy Court orders entered on December 10, 2019 and December 19, 2019 [D.I. 636 and 666, respectively], the “Bidding Procedures Order”) approving the auction and bidding procedures.

On December 30, 2019, the Debtors entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “AMH Stalking Horse PSA”) with BCE-Mach III LLC (the “Stalking Horse Bidder”). On December 31, 2019, certain of the Debtors’ non-Debtor affiliates, including Kingfisher Midstream, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Kingfisher”), entered into a separate Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Stalking Horse Bidder, pursuant to which Kingfisher shall sell substantially all of its assets to the Stalking Horse Bidder (the “Kingfisher Stalking Horse PSA”).  On January 13, 2020, the Kingfisher Debtors filed a motion (the "Kingfisher Sale Motion") seeking approval of supplemental bidding procedures in connection with the sale of Kingfisher's assets.

After a hearing, conducted on January 21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders approving the Alta Mesa Sale Motion and Kingfisher Sale Motion [D.I. 1013 and 1016, respectively] (the "Sale Orders").
