FRISCO, TEXAS, April 2, 2024 -- Comstock Resources, Inc. (NYSE:CRK) ("Comstock"or the "Company") announced today the pricing of its private placement of new 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2029 in the aggregate amount of $400.0 million, which was increased from the originally proposed $375.0 million (the "Notes").

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.
