The acquisition was originally announced on April 25, 2012.

This transaction demonstrates the continued success of our growth through acquisitions strategy. In addition, we have two other previously announced acquisitions in the Permian Basin expected to close in early July, which when completed, will bring our 2012 year to date total acquisitions to approximately $300 million. These assets are excellent additions to our portfolio and we remain well positioned to continue to be an active acquirer for the remainder of the year.”
