PostRock is a Delaware corporation formed on July 1, 2009 under the name New Quest Holdings Corp. solely for the purpose of effecting the recombination and has had no other operations to date. On October 2, 2009, the corporation changed its name to PostRock Energy Corporation. PostRock has not conducted any business operations other than incidental to its formation and in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Following the recombination, PostRock will own QRCP, QELP and QMLP as direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and will have no significant assets other than the stock or other voting securities of its subsidiaries. At the completion of the recombination, PostRock will be an integrated independent energy company involved in the acquisition, development, exploration, production and transportation of natural gas, primarily from coal seam (coal bed methane, or “CBM”) and unconventional shale, and natural gas and oil from conventional reservoirs. PostRock’s principal operations and producing properties will be located in the Cherokee Basin of southeastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma; Seminole County, Oklahoma; and West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York in the Appalachian Basin.
