The following table sets forth certain information with respect to LINN’s proved 
reserves for the year ended December 31, 2012, calculated on the basis required by
SEC rules:


20
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the
SEC, to disclose only resources that qualify as "reserves" as defined by SEC rules. We use terms describing
hydrocarbon quantities in this presentation including “inventory” and “resource potential” that the SEC’s guidelines
prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than
estimates of reserves prepared in accordance with SEC definitions and guidelines and accordingly are
substantially less certain. Investors are urged to consider closely the reserves disclosures in LINN Energy’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, available from LINN Energy at 600 Travis,
Suite 5100, Houston, Texas  77002 (Attn: Investor Relations).  You can also obtain this report from the SEC by
calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  
In this communication, the terms other than “proved reserves” refer to the Company's internal estimates of
hydrocarbon volumes that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional
drilling or recovery techniques. Those estimates may be based on economic assumptions with regard to
commodity prices that may differ from the prices required by the SEC to be used in calculating proved
reserves.  In addition, these hydrocarbon volumes may not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society
of Petroleum Engineer's Petroleum Resource Management System or the SEC’s oil and gas disclosure rules.
Unless otherwise stated, hydrocarbon volume estimates have not been risked by Company management. Factors
affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of our ongoing drilling program, which will be directly affected by the
availability of capital, drilling and production costs, commodity prices, availability of drilling services and
equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors,
and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates.  Accordingly,
actual quantities that may be ultimately recovered from the Company's interests may differ substantially from the
Company’s estimates of potential resources.  In addition, our estimates of reserves may change significantly as
development of the Company's resource plays and prospects provide additional data.
