As previously announced, on October 22, 2013 (the “Execution Date”), Newfield International Holdings Inc. (“Seller”), a company formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newfield Exploration Company (“Newfield”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with SapuraKencana Petroleum Berhad, a company formed under the laws of Malaysia (“Purchaser”).  Pursuant to the Agreement, Seller agreed to sell all of its equity interests in Newfield Malaysia Holding Inc.
