Question: Joshua Ian Silverstein - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Analyst
: I just wanted to talk about the financing of the transaction. You mentioned the value gap and the multiples. So I guess, for wanting
to use stock for at least a portion of this, but why not use the a portion of the cash balance to try to make this lease a little bit more
accretive on a per share basis?
Question: Joshua Ian Silverstein - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Analyst
: That's helpful. And just as my follow-up, Mike, you mentioned the 6 months in the regulatory process. I'm curious on thoughts there's
a deal smaller in terms of dollar amount, but one that's being held up by the FTC right now.
This transaction further consolidate the basin where there's only a couple of large players to begin with. Just any thoughts there as
far as how you have got to factor that into the transaction as well?
Question: Paul Cheng - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Maybe the first one -- 2 questions, please. First one is for Pierre. $100 million on the OpEx saving. That seems low. Just looking at the
potential saving and G&A and interest expense, it seems like we already can get there. Can you tell us a bit that what's the split in
that OpEx saving between at the field, the G&A and interest expense? That's the first question.

from the PDC?
Question: Paul Cheng - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Okay. My -- after you close the deal, can you just share that what is the pace of development for DJ? Will DJ become a growth platform
for you guys going forward? And if it is, what kind of pace of growth that you are expecting?
Question: Paul Cheng - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division - Analyst
: Once you get to the $400 million, is the $1 billion CapEx still a -- roughly a good one to use?
