Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.



As previously disclosed, on December 13, 2016, Callon Petroleum Operating Company (“CPOC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Callon Petroleum Company (“Callon” or the “Company”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Ameredev Purchase Agreement”) with American Resource Development, LLC, American Resource Development Upstream, LLC, and American Resource Development Midstream, LLC (collectively, “Ameredev”) for the purchase of certain oil and gas producing properties and undeveloped acreage in the Delaware Basin (the “Ameredev Acquisition”).
