Eagle Energy Trust’s US operating subsidiary has closed the sale of its entire working interest in its oil and natural gas properties in the Permian Basin, located near Midland, Texas, to an undisclosed buyer for cash consideration of $US 140 million before closing adjustments (the "Disposition").

The Disposition means Eagle's go-forward corporate product mix moves from about 82% oil to 96% oil, which is expected to increase its average netback per barrel of oil equivalent. The $US 140 million sale proceeds (before transaction costs and closing adjustments) exceed the proved plus probable reserve value (discounted at 10%) of the Permian Basin properties in Eagle's independent December 31, 2013 reserves report by $US 42.7 million. Based on the Trust units currently outstanding, this excess equates approximately to $CA 1.34 per unit above Eagle's previously stated reserve value.
