Other Events.

As previously reported, on September 16, 2013, Eastern 1998D Limited Partnership, a West Virginia limited partnership (the “Partnership”), filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On September 27, 2013, the Partnership filed a Motion to Sell Substantially All of Its Assets (the “Sale Motion”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Sale Motion provides for, among other things, a marketing and auction process for the sale of substantially all of the Partnership’s assets through The Oil & Gas Asset Clearinghouse (“the Clearinghouse”). PDC Energy, Inc. (f/k/a Petroleum Development Corporation) (“PDC”), the managing general partner of the Partnership, has made an initial “stalking horse” cash bid for the Partnership’s assets of $184,000. PDC will not be receiving any break-up fee or bidding protections, and the initial bid is subject to higher and better cash bids at the auction, which is expected to be conducted by the Clearinghouse in either late 2013 or early 2014. The Sale Motion is set for hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on October 17, 2013 at 1:30 p.m.

The foregoing summary of the Sale Motion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sale Motion a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
