announced that it completed the previously announced divestiture of non-core
properties in Wyoming to Legacy Reserves Operating LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Legacy Reserves LP. The cash received, before commission costs, at
closing was $118.7 million, which reflects customary closing adjustments to
account for activity between the effective and closing dates. St.
Mary intends to use the proceeds to pay down outstanding bank borrowing under
its revolving credit facility. A copy of the press release announcing
