Sale Agreement between Magellan Petroleum (N.T.) Pty Ltd and Santos QNT Pty Ltd and Santos Limited. On May 25, 2012, Magellan Petroleum (N.T.) Pty Ltd ("Magellan NT"), a wholly owned subsidiary of MPA, and Santos QNT Pty Ltd ("Santos") and Santos Limited (collectively the "Santos Entities") completed a Sale Agreement (the "Santos SA"). Under the Santos SA, MPA became the sole owner of the Palm Valley Interests (as defined below) and the Dingo Interests (as defined below), and Santos became the sole owner of the Mereenie Interests (as defined below). The Santos SA is deemed to be effective as of July 1, 2011, and resulted in net cash proceeds of $26.6 million, including a purchase price adjustments of $1.1 million, and a gain on sale of assets in the amount of $36.2 million. The Santos SA provided for the transfer of the following assets:
Pursuant to the Santos SA, Magellan NT is also entitled to a series of payments of up to AUD $17.5 million provided that certain volume contingencies are met. The Company has not recognized a contingent asset related to these payments, because these payments are not reasonably assured. The Company accounted for the Santos SA using the relative fair value method of accounting, which allocates the fair value of the assets received in the asset transfer to the Palm Valley Interests and the Dingo Interests. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded as a result of the Santos SA. However, goodwill in the amount of $2.5 million was recorded as a component of the gain on sale of assets. The purchase price allocation was considered final as of June 30, 2012.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the consideration received for the assets transferred as a result of the Santos SA as of June 30, 2012.
