Q:
|
What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split?
|
A:
|
The reverse stock split is expected to constitute a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a TGC stockholder generally should not recognize gain or loss upon the reverse stock split, except with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of TGC common stock. For more information, please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Matters Being Submitted to a Vote of TGC Stockholders-Proposal No. 4: Approval of an Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of TGC Effecting the Reverse Stock Split-Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.”
|
Q:

|
A:

No gain or loss is expected to be recognized by the U.S. holders of TGC common stock as a result of the merger. For a more detailed summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 105.
|
Q:
|
What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to REP members?
|
A:
|
TGC and REP intend that the merger will qualify as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code. As a result, subject to the limitations and qualifications described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger,” no gain or loss is expected to be recognized by the U.S. holders of REP common units as a result of the merger, except with respect to any cash received in lieu of any fractional shares of TGC common stock. However, an REP member will recognize taxable gain upon the exchange of REP common units in the merger if and to the extent that the aggregate amount of REP liabilities attributable to the REP common units exchanged by the REP member exceeds their aggregate tax basis in the REP common units exchanged by such REP member. For a more detailed summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 105.
|
Q:

|

|
As a group, the current directors and officers of TGC beneficially own 5,500,411 shares of TGC’s common stock, which was approximately 51.5% of the shares outstanding as of January 15, 2021.

|
Q:
|
Who can vote at the Special Meeting?
|
A:
|
Only TGC stockholders of record at the close of business on January 28, 2021 (the “Record Date”), will be entitled to vote at the TGC special meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 10,685,042 shares of TGC common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
|
Q:

|
Q:
|
What are “broker non-votes”?
|
A:
|
If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker or other agent with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes occur on a matter when banks, brokers and other nominees are not permitted to vote on certain non-discretionary matters without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. All of the proposals to be acted on at the TGC special meeting, except for Proposal No. 4 regarding the reverse stock split and Proposal No. 10 regarding the adjournment of the TGC special meeting, are anticipated to be non-routine matters. Proposal Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of TGC common stock entitled to vote on the proposal and accordingly broker non-votes with respect to these proposals will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposals. Broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast by the holders of all of the shares of TGC common stock present in virtually or by proxy at the TGC special meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively and will therefore not have any effect with respect to Proposal Nos. 1, 8, 9 and 10.
|
Q:
|
What is required to consummate the merger?
|
A:
|
To consummate the merger, TGC stockholders must adopt and approve the merger agreement, thereby approving the merger and the issuance of TGC common stock pursuant to the merger agreement (Proposal No. 1), and REP members must adopt the merger agreement, thereby approving the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
|
Q:
|
When do you expect the merger to be consummated?
|
A:
|
TGC and REP anticipate that the merger will occur sometime soon after the TGC special meeting to be held on February 25, 2021, but the companies cannot predict the exact timing. For more information, please see the section titled “The Merger Agreement-Conditions to Completion of the Merger” in this proxy statement/prospectus.
|
Q:
|
What do I need to do now?
|
A:
|
TGC and REP urge you to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully, including its annexes, and to consider how the merger affects you.
|
Q:
|

|
Management Team. It is expected that the combined company will be led by the experienced senior management from REP and TGC and a board of directors with representation from each of TGC and REP.
|
•
|
Potential Access to Capital. Following the closing of the merger, it is expected that the combined company will be able to take advantage of the potential benefits resulting from the combination of the TGC public company structure with the REP business to raise additional capital necessary to fund the operation of the combined company and to implement its near-term business plans.
|
•
|
Free Cash Flow. Following the merger, the combined organization, driven by oil-weighted production, industry-leading cash margins and economic drilling program, will generate EBITDA growth and free cash flow.
|
•
|
Dividend Distributions. Following the closing of the merger, the combined company expects to pay a quarterly cash dividend. The declaration and payment of any dividends by the combined company will be at the sole discretion of its board of directors, which may change the combined company’s dividend policy at any time. The combined company will not have a legal obligation to pay dividends at any rate or at all, and there is no guarantee that it will declare or pay quarterly cash dividends to its common stockholders. For a more detailed summary of the combined company’s dividend policy, see “Market Price and Dividend Information—Dividends”.

|
•
|
Current and historical information about TGC’s operations, financial performance, and management;
|
•
|
That TGC, under the direction of the TGC board of directors, had conducted a publicly disclosed and active strategic alternatives process over a lengthy period of time and determined that the likelihood, if any, of any superior alternative strategic transaction being or becoming available in the near term in view of TGC’s available capital and sources of additional capital was remote;

|
•
|
The expectation that a dividend to the holders of the combined company’s common stock will continue in future periods, that the payment of dividends provides a potential growth factor to the value of the combined company’s stock in the public markets, and the potential of a dividend is an element of value not currently available to TGC’s shareholders;
|
•
|

|
•
|
The terms of the merger agreement that permit TGC to discuss and negotiate an unsolicited acquisition proposal should one be made, and permit TGC to terminate the merger agreement in order to accept a “superior proposal,” in each case in certain circumstances and subject to certain payment obligations; and
|
•
|
The fact that the merger agreement allows the TGC board of directors, under specified circumstances, to change or withdraw its recommendation to its stockholders with respect to the approval of the merger subject to certain payment obligations.

|
•
|
the expectation that the merger will be treated as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

|
•
|
The parties’ expectations that Mr. Rugen, who is currently interim chief executive officer and chief financial officer of TGC, will become the chief financial officer of the combined company. Other than Mr. Rugen, no other officer or director of TGC has an interest in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the TGC stockholders, except as provided immediately below.
|
•
|
The employees of TGC, including the officers, are expected to become parties to change in control and severance agreements that provide the employees with severance in the event they are terminated without cause or resign for good reason within 12 months following the merger. No director of TGC will become a party to any change in control and severance agreement.
|
•
|
the Exchange Ratio is not adjustable based on the market price of TGC common stock, so the merger consideration at closing may have a greater or lesser value than the value it had at the time the merger agreement was signed;
|
•
|
failure to complete the merger may result in TGC or REP paying expenses to the other company, which could harm the per share price of TGC common stock and future business and operations of each company;
|
•
|
the merger may be completed even though material adverse changes may result from the announcement of the merger, industry-wide changes and other causes;
|
•
|
some TGC and REP officers and directors have interests in the merger that are different from those considered by TGC stockholders and REP members, which may influence such officers and directors to support or approve the merger without regard to stockholder interests;
|
•
|
the market price of TGC common stock following the merger may decline as a result of the merger;
|
•
|
TGC stockholders and REP members may not realize a benefit from the merger commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the merger;
|
•
|
TGC stockholders and REP members will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in, and will exercise less influence over the management of, the combined company following the completion of the merger as compared to their current ownership and voting interests in the respective companies;
|
•
|
during the pendency of the merger, TGC and REP may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party at a favorable price because of restrictions in the merger agreement, which could adversely affect their respective businesses;
|
•
|
certain provisions of the merger agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the merger agreement;
|
•
|
because the lack of a public market for REP common units makes it difficult to evaluate the value of REP common units, the REP members may receive shares of TGC common stock in the merger that have a value that is less than, or greater than, the fair market value of REP common units;
|
•
|
if the conditions to the merger are not met, the merger will not occur;
|
•
|
the merger may fail to qualify as an exchange under Section 351 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes, resulting in recognition of taxable gain or loss by REP members in respect of their REP common units; and
|
•
|
the combined company may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm the combined company’s business and insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all costs and damages.

|
•
|
Current and historical information about TGC’s operations, financial performance, and management;
|
•
|
That TGC, under the direction of the TGC board of directors, had conducted a publicly disclosed and active strategic alternatives process over a lengthy period of time and determined that the likelihood, if any, of any superior alternative strategic transaction being or becoming available in the near term in view of TGC’s available capital and sources of additional capital was remote;
|
•
|
The expectation that additional capital resources would be available to the combined company as a result of the merger;
|
•
|
The additional exploration opportunities available to the combined company, including drilling opportunities in an active and major productive area, the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico, and other properties;
|

The benefit to TGC’s existing stockholders resulting from their ability to participate in the growth of the combined company and continue to have liquidity as to their shares, potentially to a greater degree in the future as a result of the merger;
|
•
|
The expectation that the merger agreement provides the combined company with an experienced and qualified management team with a demonstrated record of success in the oil and gas exploration and production business in a major production area;
|
•
|
The expectation that a dividend to the holders of the combined company’s common stock will continue in future periods, that the payment of dividends provides a potential growth factor to the value of the combined company’s stock in the public markets, and the potential of a dividend is an element of value not currently available to TGC’s shareholders;

•
|

|
•
|
The fact that the merger agreement allows the TGC board of directors, under specified circumstances, to change or withdraw its recommendation to its stockholders with respect to the approval of the merger subject to certain payment obligations.
|
•
|
The fact that existing TGC’s stockholders are expected to own approximately 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the combined company on a fully diluted basis, and will therefore experience a high degree of dilution in terms of their current ownership as a result of the merger;

•
|
The fact that REP’s business plan and the implementation of that plan is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties;
|
•
|
The risk that the potential benefits of the merger agreement may not be realized;

|
The expenses to be incurred in connection with the merger and related administrative challenges associated with combining the organizations;
|
•
|
Reimbursement of REP’s expenses in an amount up to $475,000 by TGC upon the occurrence of certain events, and the potential effect of such expense reimbursement in deterring other potential acquirers from proposing a competing transaction that may be more advantageous to TGC’s stockholders;

|
•
|

|
•
|
REP’s prospects if it were to remain an independent company;

•
|

|
•
|
The risk that the potential benefits of the merger agreement may not be realized;

•
|
The risk that future sales of common stock by existing TGC stockholders may cause the price of TGC common stock to fall, thus reducing the potential value of TGC common stock received by REP members following the merger;
|
•
|
Reimbursement of TGC’s expenses in an amount up to $475,000 by REP upon the occurrence of certain events;
|
•

Prices used in this proxy statement/prospectus are based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period October 2019 through September 2020. For oil and NGL volumes, the average West Texas Intermediate (WTI) spot price of $43.63 per barrel is adjusted for quality, transportation fees, and market differentials. The fees associated with the transportation contract are included as a deduction to oil revenue. For gas volumes, the average Henry Hub spot price of $1.967 per MMBTU is adjusted for energy content, transportation fees, and market differentials. As a reference, the average NYMEX WTI and NYMEX Henry Hub prices for the same period were $43.40 per barrel and $2.020 per MMBTU, respectively. For more information on the differences between the categories of proved, probable and possible reserves, see “—Oil and Natural Gas Data.”

Steadily grow production and generate sustainable free cash flow by developing its existing horizontal well inventory. REP considers its inventory of horizontal drilling locations to have relatively low development risk because of the information gained from REP’s operating experience on its acreage, industry activity by offset operators surrounding its acreage and historic activity on the San Andres Formation. REP intend to economically grow production, reserves and cash flow by utilizing its technical expertise to develop REP’s multi-year drilling inventory while efficiently allocating capital to maximize the value of REP’s resource base.
|
•
|
Leverage its experience operating in the Permian Basin to maximize returns. REP was an early entrant to the horizontal development of the San Andres Formation of the Permian Basin. Substantially all of REP’s current properties are positioned in what REP believes to be the core of the horizontal San Andres Formation play in Yoakum County, Texas and Lea, Roosevelt, and Chaves Counties, New Mexico, where horizontal production on the San Andres Formation has increased by more than 915% since January 2014. As of September 30, 2020, REP has operated or participated in 130 gross (71 net) wells, which affords it keen insight and expertise on the reservoir characteristics of the play. REP intends to leverage its management and technical teams’ experiences in applying unconventional drilling and completion techniques in the Permian Basin to maximize its returns.
|
•
|
Maintain a high degree of operational control to continuously drive its operating costs lower and capture efficiencies. REP intends to maintain operational control of a substantial majority of its drilling inventory, by owning in excess of 50% of the working interest in the associated locations. REP believes that maintaining operating control enables it to steadily increase REP’s reserves while lowering REP’s per unit development costs, and allows REP to drive to its goal of free cash flow. REP’s control over operations and its ownership and operation of associated infrastructure for salt water disposal systems and electricity distribution allows REP to utilize what it believes to be cost-effective operating practices. These cost-effective practices include the selection of drilling locations, timing of development and associated capital expenditures and continuous improvement of drilling, completion and stimulation techniques.
|
•
|
Maintain financial flexibility and apply a disciplined approach to capital allocation. REP seeks a capital structure with sufficient liquidity to execute its growth plans, while maintaining conservative leverage, and providing financial and operational flexibility through the various commodity price cycles. To achieve more predictable cash flow and reduce volatility during commodity price cycles, REP also enters into hedging arrangements for its crude oil production. REP expects to fund REP’s growth primarily through cash flow from operations. REP intends on taking advantage of its conservatively capitalized balance sheet to maintain its low-cost debt. Consistent with REP’s disciplined approach to financial management, REP has an active commodity hedging program that seeks to reduce REP’s exposure to downside commodity price fluctuations.

|
Identifying accretive opportunities with disciplined, value enhancing framework. REP’s capital disciplined approach allows it to return capital while also growing its reserves, production and cash flow

Large contiguous asset base in one of North America’s leading oil resource plays. REP’s acreage is primarily located on large, contiguous blocks in Yoakum County, Texas and Lea, Roosevelt, and Chaves Counties, New Mexico, producing from the San Andres Formation, which is one of the most active areas in the Northwest Shelf. This acreage is characterized by a multi-year, oil-weighted inventory of horizontal drilling locations that REP believes provides attractive growth and return opportunities. As of September 30, 2020, REP had approximately 45,178 net acres (Champions 26,347 net acres and New Mexico 18,831 net acres). REP believes that its Champions Assets are located in the core of the Northwest Shelf, which have been substantially de-risked and expect to generate positive free cash flow. Most recent well results demonstrate that many of the wells on REP’s acreage are capable of producing single-well rates of return that are competitive with many of the top performing basins in the United States. As a result, REP believes it is well-positioned to continue to grow its reserves, production and cash flows in the current commodity price environment.
|
•
|
Proven management team with substantial technical expertise. REP’s Chief Executive Officer, Bobby Riley, was one of the original designers of systems for down-hole data acquisition in gravel pack and frack pack operations and has more than 40 years of experience in the independent oil and gas sector. REP’s management and technical teams have a total of over 100 years of collective oil and gas experience, including significant experience in horizontal drilling in the Central Basin Platform and Northwest Shelf. This complements REP’s team’s prior experience in horizontal drilling in the Eagle Ford Shale play in South Texas, Wolfcamp play in the Permian Basin, Bakken Shale location in North Dakota and Barnett Shale location in North Texas, among other locations. REP believes its team’s technical capabilities and experience enhance REP’s horizontal drilling and production capabilities and ultimate well recoveries.
|
•
|
High degree of operational control with reduced development costs. REP believes that maintaining operating control enables REP to increase its reserves while lowering its development costs. REP’s control over operations also allows REP to determine the selection of drilling locations, timing of development and associated capital expenditures and continuous improvement of drilling, completion and stimulation techniques. For example, REP has made the strategic decision to own and operate the salt water disposal systems and electricity distribution infrastructure necessary to support operations. This has allowed REP to significantly reduce its operating costs and keep pace with its expected development program. In addition, all of the Champions Assets are dedicated to a third-party crude and natural gas gathering system with the contracts structured as acreage dedications, which allows REP to avoid fees or penalties associated with minimum volume commitments. REP believes these factors will contribute to its ability to grow production and maintain positive free cash flows even in lower commodity price environments.
|
•
|
Conservative balance sheet. REP expects to maintain financial flexibility that will allow REP to continue its development activities by funding capital expenditures with operating cash flow. REP also has an active commodity hedging program that seeks to reduce REP’s exposure to downside commodity price fluctuations as part of its maintenance of a conservative financial management program. After giving effect to this merger, REP expects to have approximately $100 million of outstanding debt. At current commodity prices, REP expects to generate positive free cash flow over the calendar year 2021 while also growing production. REP intends to utilize its positive free cash flow to pay down debt and return capital to shareholders.

(a)
|
Represents a reclassification of approximately $3.914 million from proved and unproved properties under the full cost method of accounting to oil and natural gas properties under the successful efforts method of accounting.
|
(b)
|
Adjustment to reflect a $1.517 million reduction in gross historical book basis of oil and natural gas properties of TGC to reflect the estimated fair value of the assets assumed as part of the merger. The estimated fair value of TGC proved oil and gas properties and unproved properties was determined using a combination of income and market approach. The income approach relied upon a discounted cash flow analysis. Any change to the fair value of consideration would likely have a material effect on the valuation and such adjustments.
|
(c)
|
Adjustment to reflect a decrease of $0.794 million in TGC asset retirement obligation – non-current to reflect it at fair value and a decrease of $0.017 million in TGC asset retirement obligation – current to reflect the expected costs to be incurred within twelve months.
|
(d)
|
Adjustment to reflect the pro forma net deferred tax liability of $49.615 million as of September 30, 2020 arising from temporary differences between the historical cost and tax basis of REP’s assets and liabilities as a result of becoming taxable. The pro forma deferred tax liabilities reflect the rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse in the future, which is 21%. A charge to establish such net deferred tax liabilities will be recognized in the period when the change in the status occurs but has not been reflected in the pro forma consolidated statement of operations.
|
(e)
|
Adjustment to reflect the recapitalization of REP upon closing of the Transaction. REP will be issued approximately 203 million shares of TGC Common Stock. REP existing Members’ Equity less the par value of TGC stock will be reclassified to Additional Paid-In Capital.
|
(f)
|
Adjustment to reflect a decrease of $1.517 million in the net effect of all changes from book value to fair value in connection with the adjustments to TGC assets and liabilities assumed as part of the merger.
|
(g)
|
Adjustment to reflect the elimination of TGC’s historical cumulative deficit in connection with the acquisition method of accounting.
|
(h)
|
Adjustment to reflect a $8.362 million increase in goodwill and additional paid-in capital in connection with the closing of this transaction. The goodwill may be significantly different than that used for this preliminary allocation.
|
(i)
|
Reflects the estimated transaction costs of $3.5 million related to the merger, including underwriting, banking, legal, accounting fees that are not capitalized as part of this transaction. These costs are not reflected in the historical September 30, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheets of REP and TGC, but
|
(j)
|
Reclassification of $3.426 million of TGC’s oil and gas properties revenue to conform to REP’s presentation of oil and natural gas sales, net.
|
(k)
|
Reclassification to reflect the $3.165 million of lease operating expense incurred by TGC for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020 under the successful efforts method of accounting.
|
(l)
|
Reclassification to reflect the $0.014 million of general and administrative expense to conform to REP’s presenation of unit-based compensation expense.
|
(m)
|
Adjustment to reflect the $0.010 million of exploration expense incurred by TGC for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020 under the successful efforts method of accounting.
|
(n)
|
Adjustment to eliminate TGC’s historical depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) of $0.055 million under the full costs basis of accounting to reflect the balance under successful efforts method of accounting.
|
(o)
|
Adjustment to reflect $6.936 million in estimated federal income tax expense associated with the pro forma combined results of operations assuming REP’s earnings had been subject to federal income tax using a federal tax rate of approximately 22.6% based on the estimated US federal income tax rate during the year ended September 30, 2020.
|
(p)
|
Adjustment to remove the dividend accrued related to the Series A Preferred Units which are assumed to have been converted on October 1, 2019.
|
(q)
|
Adjustment to reflect the Pro Forma number of common shares that would have been issued by taking REP’s weighted average diluted common units outstanding for their respective periods multiplied by the share consideration ratio of 97.796467. The diluted units assume a 1 to 1 conversion of the Series A preferred units into REP’s common units initially and then together all of REP’s common units outstanding are exchanged for TGC’s common shares using the consideration ratio. See Note 4 for further details below.

Refers to Tengasco, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) which was adopted to provide an incentive to key employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its present and future subsidiary corporations, and to offer an additional inducement in obtaining the services of such individuals. The 2018 Plan contains the same substantive terms of the Company’s previous stock incentive plan adopted in October, 2000 and as thereafter amended until its expiration on January 10, 2018.

REP shall cause the initial public offering issuer to provide for such conversion mechanism in its organizational documents.

of the REP units proposed to be transferred, if REP gives written notice of the exercise of such right to the selling REP member within 30 days (the “ROFR period”) from the receipt of notice to REP from the selling REP member.
If REP does not intend to exercise the ROFR in full or if REP is not lawfully able to repurchase all of such units, REP will send written notice thereof to the selling REP member and to each other REP member at least 10 days before the expiration of the ROFR period. The purchase price for the units proposed to be transferred to be purchased by REP upon exercise of the ROFR will be the bona fide cash price (or the fair market value of any non-cash consideration as determined in good faith by the REP board of managers) per unit for which the selling REP member proposes to transfer such units to the proposed purchaser(s) (subject to any rights REP may have under any other agreement to purchase all or some of such units at a lower price), and will be payable within 30 days after the date of REP’s notice that it does not intend to exercise the ROFR. Payment of the purchase price will be made, at the option of REP, consisting of (i) the consideration offered by the proposed purchaser, (ii) in cash (by cashier’s check), (iii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the selling REP member, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing. If REP determines that it does not intend to exercise the ROFR in full, each REP member shall have the right, but not the obligation, up to such REP member’s pro rata share of REP units, to purchase such portion of the units proposed to be transferred equal to such REP member’s pro rata share of REP multiplied by the amount of units proposed to be transferred not acquired by REP as set forth in REP’s notice. For purposes of calculating the pro rata share, the selling REP member’s proposed units to be transferred will disregarded. If some but not all of the non-selling REP members desire to acquire such units proposed to be transferred, the REP members interested in acquiring such

Such REP member shall have 15 days from receipt of REP’s notice that it does not intend to exercise the ROFR in full to provide REP and each other REP member with written notice of such REP member’s exercise of such right. The purchase price for the units to be purchased by such REP member upon exercise of such right shall be calculated as set forth in the paragraph above and will be payable within 30 days after the date of the notice from REP determining that it does not intend to exercise the ROFR in full. Payment of the purchase price will be made, at the option of such purchasing REP member, consisting of (i) the consideration offered by the proposed purchaser, (ii) in cash (by cashier’s check), (iii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the selling REP member, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing.

Right of Co-Sale

Under the REP LLC Agreement, if REP and other REP members do not exercise their rights to acquire units proposed to be transferred in full, the selling REP Member shall offer in writing (the “participation offer”) to the other REP members designated by the REP board of managers as having rights under these provisions (each recipient is referred to as a “tag-along REP member”) to include in the proposed disposition a number of such other REP member’s units equal to the product of (a) such Member’s pro rata share of REP multiplied by (b) the amount of units proposed to be transferred not acquired by REP or acquired by other REP members. If any REP member accepts the participation offer, the selling REP member shall, to the extent necessary, reduce the units it otherwise would have included in such proposed transfer so as to permit the REP members who want to participate to include in such transfer a number of units corresponding to the amount that they are entitled to include pursuant to these provisions. Any such purchase shall be made in accordance with the following: (i) each tag-along REP member shall have no more than 20 days from the receipt of the

The REP LLC Agreement further provides that REP, by adoption of a resolution of the REP board of managers, may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent of REP to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to an REP indemnitee as described above.
The REP LLC Agreement states that to the extent required by law, any indemnification of or advance of expenses in accordance with these provisions shall be reported in writing to the REP members as soon as reasonably practicable and in any case, within the 12-month period immediately following the date of the indemnification or advance.

The TGC bylaws provide that any indemnification under the paragraphs above (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by TGC only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the paragraphs above. Such determination shall be made (i) by the TGC board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the TGC stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director, officer, employee or agent of TGC shall be able to contest any determination that the director, officer, employee or agent has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the paragraphs above by petitioning a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

Limitation on Personal Liability

The REP LLC Agreement states that no REP manager shall have any liability whatsoever to REP or to the REP members for loss caused by any act or by the failure to do any act if the loss suffered arises out of a good faith mistake in business judgment of the manager, or if the manager, in good faith, had determined that the action or lack of action giving rise to the loss was in the best interests of REP or if the action or lack of action giving rise to the loss was based on the written advice of legal counsel regularly employed by REP in connection with the affairs of REP; provided, however, that such exculpation from liability shall not apply to any liability for loss caused by any act or by the failure to do any act which arises out of the fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional violation of law by any manager. The REP members and REP recognize that this limitation relieves a manager from any and all liabilities arising or to arise out of any ordinary negligence by any such manager.
The REP LLC Agreement also states that the REP members shall not be liable for the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of REP except (i) for any unpaid capital contributions agreed to be made by such REP member, and (ii) as otherwise provided in the DLLCA.

The TGC charter states that no director of TGC shall be held personally liable to TGC or the TGC stockholders for monetary damages of any kind for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to TGC or the TGC stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of TGC or the TGC stockholders law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of TGC shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended from time to time. No amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions shall adversely affect any right or protection of any director of TGC existing at the time of such amendment or repeal for or with respect to acts or omissions of such director prior to such amendment or repeal.

Indemnification

The TGC bylaws provide that TGC shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of TGC) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of TGC, or is or was serving at the request of TGC as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the fullest extent provided by Delaware law against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, Employee Retirement Income Security Act excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of TGC, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of TGC, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
The TGC bylaws further provide that TGC shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of TGC) by reason of the fact that

TGC shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of TGC or, while a director or officer of TGC, is or was serving at the request of TGC as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (a “covered person”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent, against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such covered person in connection with such proceeding. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses under the bylaws shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to a covered person who has ceased to be a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, TGC shall indemnify and advance expenses to a covered person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such covered person only if such

The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of TGC, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
The TGC bylaws further provide that to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of TGC has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in the paragraphs above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
The TGC bylaws provide that any indemnification under the paragraphs above (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by TGC only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the paragraphs above. Such determination

The TGC bylaws provide that if a claim for indemnification under this section (following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid in full within 60 days after TGC has received a claim therefor by the covered person, or if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this section is not paid in full within 30 days after TGC has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced, the covered person shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful in whole or in part, the covered person shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, or a claim brought by TGC to recover an advancement of expenses prior to the terms of an undertaking, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In any such action, TGC shall have the burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. In (1) any suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by a covered person to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (2) in any suit brought by TGC to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, TGC shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the covered person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of TGC (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the covered person is proper in the circumstances because the covered person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by TGC (including its

In any suit brought by the covered person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by TGC to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the covered person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this section or otherwise shall be on TGC. The rights conferred on any covered person by this section shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such covered person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of the TGC charter, the TGC bylaws, any agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. This section shall not limit the right of TGC, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than covered persons when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.

The amounts and percentages of common units beneficially owned are reported on the bases of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. Except as otherwise indicated in these footnotes, each of the beneficial owners has, to REP’s knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the indicated number of common units, except to the extent this power may be shared with a spouse.

Derivative Instruments
|
•
|
Fixed Price Swaps – the Company receives a fixed price for the contract and pays a floating market price to the counterparty over a specified period for a contracted volume.
|
•
|
Costless collars – the combination of a put option (fixed floor) and call option (fixed ceiling), with the options structured so that the premium paid to purchase the put option is offset by the premium received from the sale of the call option. If the market price exceeds the call strike price or falls below the put strike price, we receive the fixed price and pay the market price. If the market price is between the put and the call strike price, no payments are due from either party.
|
•
|
Basis Protection Swaps – Basis swaps are settled based on differences between a fixed price differential and the differential between the settlement prices of two referenced indexes. We receive the fixed price differential and pay the differential between the referenced indexes.
