EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (this “ Amendment ”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K which Ultra Petroleum Corp. (the “ Company ”) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on February 28, 2017 (the “ Original Filing ”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to correct the description of the volumetric units in the headers to the table presented on Exhibit 99.1 of the Original Filing. The headers were incorrect in that they referred to Bbls of Oil and NGLs instead of MBbls, and Mcf of natural gas instead of MMcf, and the totals of Oil, Natural Gas and NGLs in Mcfe instead of MMcfe. The numbers in the body of the table in Exhibit 99.1 have not changed. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment does not modify or update any other disclosure contained in the Original Filing.

 

Section 7.	Regulation FD
Item 7.01.	Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment amends and restates the prior table attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Filing in its entirety. The header in the table set forth in Exhibit 99.2 contains correct descriptions of the volumetric units and also notes, correctly, that the dollar amounts reported in the table are in thousands of dollars.

 

The information presented in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth in such filing.
