(“Rosehill” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:ROSE) (NASDAQ:ROSEW) (NASDAQ:ROSEU) today announced the closing of the sale of its remaining Barnett Shale assets for approximately $7.1 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

With this sale and the recently announced pending acquisition, we are a pure play Delaware Basin company with two strong, concentrated core acreage positions.
