COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. ANNOUNCES PRICING OF OFFERING OF $250.0 MILLION OF 6.75% SENIOR NOTES
FRISCO, TEXAS, March 3, 2021 -- Comstock Resources, Inc. (NYSE:CRK) ("Comstock" or the "Company") announced today the pricing of its private placement of 6.75% senior notes due 2029 in the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million (the "Notes"). The Notes were sold at 103% of par. The offering is expected to close on March 4, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
The aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Notes are expected to be approximately $253.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and other offering expenses, and the Company intends to use such proceeds to fund an anticipated increase in the aggregate maximum tender amount in the Company's existing tender offers for a portion of the Company's 7.5% Senior Notes due 2025 and 9.75% Senior Notes due 2026 and pay fees and expenses in connection therewith.
The Notes offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and unless so registered, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The senior unsecured notes are expected to be eligible for trading by qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and non-U.S. persons under Regulation S.
This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

NEWS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. ANNOUNCES EARLY TENDER RESULTS AND UPSIZE OF PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED CASH TENDER OFFERS
FRISCO, TEXAS, March 3, 2021 -- Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRK) announced today the early results of Comstock's previously announced cash tender offers (the "Tender Offers") to purchase up to $1.0 billion aggregate purchase price (as such amount may be increased or decreased by the Company) (the "Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount") of its outstanding 7.50% senior notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes") and 9.75% senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes" and together with the 2025 Notes, the "Notes") in the priorities set forth in the table below.
The Company has amended the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount to increase the aggregate purchase price of Notes subject to the Tender Offers from $1.0 billion to $1.25 billion, and to increase the aggregate maximum principal amount of 2026 Notes to be accepted (the "2026 Combined Cap") from $550.0 million to $780.0 million.
Except with the respect to the increases in the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and the 2026 Combined Cap, no other terms of the Tender Offers set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 18, 2021 (as amended and supplemented to date, the "Offer to Purchase") have changed. The Tender Offers are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. Such conditions may be waived by the Company in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law. Any waiver of a condition by the Company will not constitute a waiver of any other condition.
Based on information provided by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent for the Tender Offers, approximately $1.9 billion aggregate principal amount of Notes were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 3, 2021 (the "Early Tender Date").


The following table sets forth the approximate aggregate principal amounts of each series of Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) as of the Early Tender Date and the principal amounts that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to the Tender Offers described below, are expected to be accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers on or about March 4, 2021 (the "Early Settlement Date"):

(1)As of the date of the Offer to Purchase.
(2)Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from the applicable last interest payment with respect to the Notes accepted for purchase to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.
(3)Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below).
(4)The final proration factor has been rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point for presentation purposes.
Holders of Notes that have been accepted for purchase in connection with the Early Tender Date will receive the applicable Total Consideration set forth in the table above, which includes an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase (the "Early Tender Premium"). The deadline for holders to validly withdraw tenders of Notes has passed. Accordingly, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn or revoked, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal or revocation rights are required by law.
Because the purchase price for the Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Date exceeds the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Notes after the Early Tender Date.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy or an offer to purchase or sell any securities.

The offer is being made solely pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
