On June 29, 2007, Calpine Corporation (“Calpine”) filed a lawsuit against Rosetta Resources Inc. (the “Company”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.  The complaint alleges that the purchase by the Company of the domestic oil and natural gas assets formally owned by Calpine (the “Assets”) in July 2005 for $1.05 billion, prior to Calpine’s declaring bankruptcy, was for less than reasonably equivalent value.  Calpine is seeking (i) monetary damages for the alleged missing value of these assets which it estimates to be approximately $400 million dollars, plus interest, or (ii) in the alternative, return of the Assets from the Company.  The Company intends to deny and vigorously defend against all claims made by Calpine and is further considering additional steps it may take to fully protect the Company’s interests.
 
The Company vigorously denounces Calpine’s claims and believes them to be incorrect and wholly unsupportable.  The Company is confident that Calpine received fair and reasonably equivalent value for the Assets and that the Company will prevail in any litigation.  The Company understands that Calpine weighed and considered the value of and alternative transactions with respect to the Assets before electing to proceed with the sale of the Assets at the price Calpine established.  The Company also understands Calpine received one or more competing offers from third parties before agreeing to the sale of the Assets.
