(a) Business and Organization
Antero Resources Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) are engaged in the exploitation, development, and acquisition of natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and oil properties in the Appalachian Basin in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. We target large, repeatable resource plays where horizontal drilling and advanced fracture stimulation technologies provide the means to economically develop and produce natural gas, NGLs, and oil from unconventional formations. We also have gathering and compression and fresh water distribution operations in the Appalachian Basin. Our corporate headquarters are in Denver, Colorado.
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Antero Resources Corporation and its subsidiaries, Antero Resources Midstream LLC (“Antero Midstream”) and Antero Midstream LLC (“Midstream Operating”).
(b) Corporate Reorganization and Initial Public Offering
Prior to October 16, 2013, the Company’s predecessor, Antero Resources LLC, filed reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Antero Resources LLC was formed in October 2009 by members of the Company’s management team and its sponsor investors. Antero Resources LLC owned 100% of the outstanding shares of Antero Resources Appalachian Corporation, which was formed in March 2008 and renamed Antero Resources Corporation in June 2013. In connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”) completed on October 16, 2013, all of the ownership interests in Antero Resources LLC were exchanged for similar interests in a newly formed limited liability company, Antero Resources Investment LLC (“Antero Investment”), and Antero Resources LLC was merged into Antero Resources Corporation. As a result of this reorganization, Antero Investment owned 100% of the issued and outstanding 224,375,000 shares of common stock of Antero Resources Corporation prior to the IPO.
On October 16, 2013, Antero Resources Corporation issued 37,674,659 additional shares of its common stock at $44.00 per share in the IPO, resulting in proceeds to the Company, net of underwriter discounts and expenses of the offering, of approximately $1.6 billion. Antero Investment also sold 3,409,091 shares of its common stock of Antero Resources Corporation in the IPO. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by Antero Investment.
In 2013, the Company formed a subsidiary, Antero Midstream. The Company owns all of the common economic interest in Antero Midstream and Antero Investment indirectly owns the special membership interest. In connection with a planned initial public offering of Antero Midstream during 2014, the Company intends to contribute its midstream assets to Antero Midstream and has entered into commercial arrangements for midstream services. The assets will be contributed to Midstream Operating, which will be contributed to Antero Midstream. The assets to be contributed consist of (i) low- and high-pressure natural gas gathering lines, (ii) oil and condensate gathering lines, (iii) fresh water distribution systems and (iv) compression facilities. The special membership interest in Antero Midstream provides Antero Investment with certain rights, including the right to cause an initial public offering of Antero Midstream as a master limited partnership (“MLP”) or similar structure. Following any such initial public offering, the special membership interest will entitle Antero Investment to own the general partner interest in the MLP, which will allow Antero Investment to manage Antero Midstream’s business and affairs. Following any such initial public offering, Antero Investment will also indirectly hold the incentive distribution rights in the MLP.
