press-release-notification

DENVER, Aug. 10 (Korea Bizwire) — Sundance Energy Australia Limited (ASX:SEA) (“Sundance” or the “Company) is pleased to announce that the Company has closed the previously announced acquisition of New Standard Energy Ltd’s (ASX:NSE) U.S. and Cooper Basin assets. Consideration for the acquisition included approximately $15.0 million to repay NSE’s note with Credit Suisse, the issuance of 6 million new fully paid ordinary SEA shares and the assumption of net working capital deficit of approximately $0.9 million.  Approximately 1.5 million of the 6 million SEA shares will be held in escrow until resolution of due diligence defect matters.

The Eagle Ford assets acquired include approximately 5,500 net acres in Atascosa County, 7 gross producing wells with approximately 175 net Boe/d of current production and two wells that have been drilled but not yet completed.  This acquisition increases Sundance’s Eagle Ford position to approximately 37,000 net acres.

Sundance plans to sell 25% of the assets acquired from NSE plus approximately 400 net acres (25%) of Sundance’s Charlotte Ranch lease in Atascosa County, Texas to Quintanilla Management Company (“QMC”) and expects closing of that transaction to occur within the next several weeks.
