Other Events
On May 9, 2018, Comstock Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") entered into a Contribution Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") with Arkoma Drilling, L.P. and Williston Drilling, L.P. (collectively, the "Partnerships"), pursuant to which the Partnerships will contribute to the Company certain oil and gas properties located in North Dakota and Montana (the "Assets") in exchange for a total of up to 88,571,429 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares"), $0.50 par value per share, subject to adjustment, as further described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 14, 2018 (collectively referred to herein as the "Jones Transaction").  The effective date for the acquisition of the Assets is April 1, 2018; however, as explained in the Company's Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on May 14, 2018, the closing of the Contribution Agreement is subject to, among other things, the Company obtaining a new revolving credit facility and a new senior unsecured notes issuance, in each case (i) having such terms as are acceptable to the Partnerships in their sole discretion and (ii) in an amount as will be sufficient to refinance substantially all of the long-term indebtedness of the Company (the "Debt Financing").
In connection with the Debt Financing, on May 14, 2018, the Company's independent petroleum engineering firm, Lee Keeling and Associates, Inc., prepared a consolidated pro forma report estimating the oil and natural gas reserves of the Company together with the oil and natural gas reserves attributable to the Assets to be acquired in the Jones Transaction as of April 1, 2018.
