FRISCO, TEXAS, March 4, 2015 - Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRK) announced today that it has priced $700 million in aggregate principal amount of its 10% senior secured notes due 2020 to be sold to purchasers in a private offering. The notes and the related subsidiary guarantees will be secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company's and its subsidiaries' assets, subject to payment priority in favor of the lenders under a new credit facility described below.

The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
