Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 14, 2013 we issued a press release, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing that we had entered into agreements with certain parties to acquire leases on 55,000 acres (53,000 net) in Louisiana and Mississippi for $54.5 million aggregate consideration. The purchase agreements are subject to customary closing conditions and adjustments. The oil and gas leases, which cover acreage in Wilkinson and Amite Counties in Mississippi and in East Feliciana and St. Helena Parishes in Louisiana, are believed to be prospective for oil in the Tuscaloosa Marine shale formation. Comstock expects to complete the acquisition of the leases in the fourth quarter of 2013 and is pursuing other lease acquisition opportunities in this and another play prospective for oil development.
The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
