(EXCO) announced that it closed the purchase jointly with BG Group, plc (BG Group) of properties in Shelby, San Augustine and Nacogdoches Counties, Texas representing approximately 20,000 net acres prospective for the Haynesville and Bossier shales from Southwestern Energy Company. The total purchase price paid at the closing was $355.8 million ($177.9 million net to EXCO), which is subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments.
