NOBLE ENERGY, INC. (NYSE:NBL) Files An 8-K Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 1, 2016, Noble Energy, Inc. (Noble Energy, we or us)
and CNX Gas Company LLC (CNX), a subsidiary of CONSOL Energy
Inc., terminated the Joint Development Agreement dated September
30, 2011 (the JDA), in connection with the closing of the
previously announced Exchange Agreement dated October 29, 2016
between us and CNX. The JDA provided for the development of
certain oil and gas properties that were jointly owned by us and
CNX (including certain related assets, the Co-Owned Properties)
and, in certain circumstances, required us to fund one-third of
CNXs working interest share of certain drilling and completion
costs incurred in connection with the Co-Owned Properties (the
Carried Costs). As of October 1, 2016, our Carried Cost
obligation under the JDA totaled $1.6 billion.
As a result of the closing of the Exchange Agreement:
the remaining balance of our Carried Cost obligation was
satisfied and extinguished;
CNX transferred all of its interest in a portion of the
Co-Owned Properties to us;
we transferred all of our interest in the remainder of the
Co-Owned Properties to CNX; and
we paid CNX $213 million in cash (which included $8 million
of closing adjustments).
Upon termination of the JDA, all remaining material obligations
of the parties under that agreement were terminated and are of no
further force or effect.
