The Supplemental Indentures amended the terms of the indentures governing each series of the Convertible Notes to provide that a mandatory conversion event (requiring the Company to convert any outstanding Convertible Notes into shares of its common stock) shall not occur prior to the occurrence of a period of 15 consecutive trading days during which the daily volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock is equal to or greater than the threshold price in effect under the applicable indenture, which 15 consecutive trading day period shall not commence prior to the earlier of (i) October 12, 2018 and (ii) the termination of the Contribution Agreement dated May 9, 2018 among the Company, Arkoma Drilling, L.P. and Williston Drilling, L.P. (the "Contribution Agreement").  The Convertible Notes will continue to be convertible at the option of the holders thereof during this period in accordance with the terms of the respective indenture.
The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indentures does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of each of the Supplemental Indentures,
copies of which are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2 hereto, and are incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

The gross proceeds of the offering (plus an amount related to interest that would accrue on the Senior Notes through a specified date) will initially be deposited in an escrow account pending satisfaction of certain conditions, including the closing of the
contribution of certain oil and gas assets by Arkoma Drilling, L.P. and Williston Drilling, L.P., pursuant to th

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, regarding the proposed contribution transaction and Proposed Offering discussed herein, Comstock's ability to consummate the contribution transaction and the refinancing plan, the benefits of the transaction and Comstock's future financial performance following the transaction are forward looking statements. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein.  Although the Company believes the expectations in such statements to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
