Magnum Hunter Resources Announces Senior Bank Loan Extension
Yesterday, Magnum Hunter announced that Triad Hunter, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, had closed on the previously announced definitive agreement to sell certain non-core undeveloped and unproven leasehold acreage located in Tyler County, West Virginia. At that closing, the Company received consideration of approximately $33.6 million in cash. The ultimate consideration to be received is subject to post-closing adjustments for any title defects and for remediation of asserted title defects, which adjustments are anticipated to increase the ultimate cash sales price to $35.0 to $40.0 million on or before July 15, 2015. Additionally, Magnum Hunter has already completed approximately $22.0 million of other capital transactions. Therefore, to date, a total of $55.6 million has already been raised. Magnum Hunter continues to work on other potential liquidity enhancing transactions in order to satisfy these capital raising obligations and to increase the Company's overall liquidity position. The Company refers investors to its recent public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete description of these potential liquidity enhancing transactions that total in excess of $200 million.

The failure by the Company to satisfy this capital raising obligation by the close of business on July 10, 2015, absent a further extension of this date, will constitute an event of default under the Company's senior secured credit facility. You are urged to review the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 20, 2015 and May 29, 2015 for a description of this capital raising obligation.
