During the first quarter, we maintained strong operating performance and continued to improve our cost structure and efficiencies, while taking significant steps to strengthen our financial position without diluting equity.

We’ve also removed perceived uncertainty by issuing $3.0 billion of investment-grade bonds to refinance near-term maturities. Additionally, the dividend reduction and the restructuring of our workforce together are expected to provide approximately $800 million of available cash on an annualized basis.

The company expects negative second-quarter price differentials excluding hedges of $2.20 to $6.70 per barrel to the Nymex spot price.
