HOUSTON, July 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LINN Energy, Inc. (OTCQB:LNGG) (“LINN” or the “Company”) will host a conference call on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. (Central) to discuss the strategic and financial outlook of Roan Resources LLC (“Roan”) as it relates to LINN’s 50% equity interest in Roan. There will be prepared remarks by David B. Rottino, LINN’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and President and Chief Executive Officer of Riviera Resources, and Roan’s senior management followed by a question and answer session. Prior to the conference call, LINN will provide on its website an investor presentation focused on Roan’s business outlook.

As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors believes the Company trades at a discount to its sum of the parts value and therefore determined to separate the Company into two stand-alone publicly traded businesses to unlock this value.  The Company expects to execute the separation of the Company’s 50% equity interest in Roan and Riviera Resources (“Riviera”) in August (the “Spin Transaction”).    

Prior to the date of the Spin Transaction, LINN will release further details outlining the mechanics of the Spin Transaction. Riviera will also hold an investor call shortly after the Spin Transaction to provide additional strategic and financial information related to Riviera and, its wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Mountain Midstream LLC.
