New York, March 26, 2024 - PRISM MarketView - Comstock Resources (NYSE: CRK) will benefit from a $100 million windfall as one of the company’s majority shareholders commits to a significant equity investment. Comstock announced last week that shareholder, Jerry Jones, has agreed to make an additional $100,450,000 equity investment in the company through two entities.
Following the equity investment, Mr. Jones will own approximately 67% of Comstock’s common shares outstanding, up from 65% before this investment. The investment underscores Mr. Jones’ continued confidence in Comstock and its prospects for growth in the natural gas sector.
The company has been active in acquisitions, and recently completed acquisitions valued at $58.7 millon for the purchase of 200,000 net undeveloped acres in its Western Haynesville play. The investment will allow Comstock to more aggressively pursue opportunities, further expand its operations, explore new opportunities, and solidify its position in the market, at a time when natural gas is at its lowest price in decades.
Comstock says it will use the proceeds from the equity investment to pay down bank debt which was partially incurred to fund its recent asset acquisitions.
