Morgan Securities LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as underwriters, relating to the public offering of 13,570,000 shares of EOG’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock) (including the underwriters’ option to purchase up to 1,770,000 additional shares of Common Stock), at the public offering price of $105.50 per share less the underwriting discount.

The transactions under the Underwriting Agreement, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, closed on March 7, 2011. The net proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement were approximately $1.39 billion, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by EOG, as well as customary conditions to closing and termination provisions. The Underwriting Agreement also contains customary indemnification and contribution provisions whereby EOG and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
