Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On August 14, 2006, Range Resources Corporation (“Range”) completed the public offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of 71/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”). The Notes are additional issuances of Range’s existing 71/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 issued under the Indenture (as defined below), pursuant to which we previously issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of notes (the “Original Notes”). The Notes, together with the Original Notes, will be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture.
     The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of Range’s subsidiaries: Great Lakes Energy Partners, L.L.C., Pine Mountain Oil & Gas, Inc., Pine Mountain Acquisition, Inc., PMOG Holdings, Inc., Range Energy I, Inc., Range HoldCo, Inc., Range Production I, L.P., Range Production Company, Range Energy Ventures Corporation, Range Operating New Mexico, Inc., Range Operating Texas, L.L.C., Stroud Energy GP, LLC, Stroud Energy LP, LLC, Stroud Energy, Ltd., Stroud Energy Management GP, LLC, and Stroud Oil Properties, LP (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated as of May 23, 2006, by and among Range, the Subsidiary Guarantors and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated May 23, 2006, and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated August 14, 2006 (as supplemented, the “Indenture”). The material terms of the Notes and the Indenture are described in the prospectus supplement, dated August 9, 2006, as filed by Range and the Subsidiary Guarantors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 9, 2006.
     Range and the Subsidiary Guarantors registered the sale of the Notes and the underlying guarantees with the Commission pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on May 16, 2006, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on May 17, 2006 and Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on August 9, 2006 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).
     The Notes were sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated August 9, 2006 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and between Range and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by Range, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification rights, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Range has agreed with the Underwriters not to offer or sell any debt securities issued or guaranteed by Range having a term of more than one year (other than the Notes) for a period of 90 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
     The Underwriters or their affiliates have from time to time provided investment banking, commercial banking and financial advisory services to Range and its affiliates, for which they have received customary compensation. The Underwriters and their affiliates may provide similar services in the future. In particular, certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates are lenders under Range’s bank credit facility and will receive the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes used to pay down our bank credit facility. In addition, from time to time, certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in Range’s debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.
     The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
     The information provided under Item 1.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the related guarantees is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
