On Irving, TX based Blue Ridge Mountain Resources, Inc., an independent oil and gas company, explores for, exploits, acquires, develops, and produces natural gas and natural gas liquid (NGL) resources in the United States. On August 27, 2018, Eclipse Resources Corporation (NYSE:ECR) and Blue Ridge Mountain Resources, Inc. (OTCPK: BRMR) announced that they have entered into a merger agreement under which Eclipse Resources and Blue Ridge will combine in an all-stock transaction. In the Transaction, Blue Ridge stockholders will receive consideration consisting of 4.4259 shares of Eclipse Resources common stock for each share of Blue Ridge common stock, before adjustment for a 15-to-1 reverse stock split of Eclipse Resources common stock to be effected concurrently with closing of the Transaction.
