Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On April 2, 2012, Eureka Hunter Holdings, LLC (“Eureka Holdings”), a subsidiary of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (“Magnum Hunter”), sold 2,340,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Units representing membership interests in Eureka Holdings (the “Preferred Units”) to Ridgeline Midstream Holdings, LLC (“Ridgeline”), an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC, for the aggregate purchase price of $46,800,000. Ridgeline’s purchase of the Preferred Units was made pursuant to Ridgeline’s previously announced commitment, subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to $200,000,000 of Preferred Units.

Thereafter, Eureka Holdings and Eureka Hunter Acquisition Sub, LLC (“Acquisition Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnum Hunter, closed on their previously announced purchase of certain assets of TransTex Gas Services, LP (“TransTex”) under the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated March 21, 2012, as amended (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The total purchase price paid for the acquired assets was $58,500,000, in the form of $46,800,000 in cash from Acquisition Sub and 585,000 Series A Common Units representing membership interests in Eureka Holdings (the “Common Units”), with a value of $11,700,000. The assets acquired from TransTex principally relate to the treating of natural gas, including the leasing of related treating and processing equipment to third parties. Greg Sargent, TransTex’s president, also entered into an employment agreement with an affiliate of Eureka Holdings in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. Immediately following such closing, Magnum Hunter contributed 100% of its ownership interest in Acquisition Sub to Eureka Holdings.

On April 3, 2012, Acquisition Sub changed its name to TransTex Gas Services, LLC, and Eureka Holdings distributed $46,800,000 to Magnum Hunter to reimburse it for the purchase price of the assets acquired from TransTex.

In connection with the transactions described above, Ridgeline, Magnum Hunter, and TransTex entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Eureka Holdings (the “LLC Agreement”), dated March 21, 2012, by and between Ridgeline and Magnum Hunter, to account for TransTex’s ownership of Common Units. Prior to the Ridgeline and TransTex transactions described above, based on Magnum Hunter’s ownership of Common Units and Ridgeline’s ownership of Preferred Units, respectively, Eureka Holdings was owned 83.4% by Magnum Hunter and 16.6% by Ridgeline (on an as-converted basis). As a result of the Ridgeline and TransTex transactions, Eureka Holdings is owned 71.8% by Magnum Hunter, 25.4% by Ridgeline (on an as-converted basis), and 2.8% by TransTex.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
