International Corporation (NYSE: END) (LSE: ENDV) ("Endeavour" or

50% of its upstream and midstream assets in the Pennsylvania
Marcellus and formed a joint venture with Samson Exploration,
LLC.
Samson Exploration, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
privately-held Samson Energy Company, LLC with its headquarters
located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The
agreement provides for the development of the Marcellus assets,
