Acquisition Likely to Increase Lilis Energy's Overall Working Interest and Operatorship

  • The Company will fund the acquisition in cash through the drawdown of $45 million remaining under its second lien term loan with Varde Partners.

Acquired Acreage is Highly Accretive

Joe Daches, CFO of Lilis Energy, stated that the acquired acreage is highly accretive and contiguous/overlapping the Company's existing Delaware properties. With existing liquidity and cash flow sufficient to fund this acquisition, the Company remains well capitalized to continue executing on its stated growth and development plans.
