As of the early tender and consent payment deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 9, 2016 (the “Early Tender/Consent Only Deadline”), $23,470,000 in aggregate principal amount, or approximately 17.84% percent, of the 2018 Notes outstanding held by non-affiliates has been validly tendered and not withdrawn, $117,023,000 in aggregate principal amount, or approximately 68.3% percent, of the 2022 Notes outstanding held by non-affiliates has been validly tendered and not withdrawn, and holders of an additional $25,240,000 in aggregate principal amount, or approximately 14.7% percent, of the 2022 Notes outstanding held by non-affiliates, have not tendered, but have provided consents that have been validly tendered and not revoked.

As the Tender Offer is oversubscribed with respect to each series of Notes, EXCO has accepted for purchase tendered Notes on a prorated basis in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated as of July 27, 2016. Holders who tender Notes or deliver consents after the Early Tender/Consent Only Deadline will not have any of their Notes or consents accepted for payment.

As of the Early Tender/Consent Only Deadline, holders of a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes have provided consents to adopt the proposed amendments to the 2022 Notes Indenture. As a result, EXCO and the trustee under the 2022 Notes Indenture have executed a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to amend the 2022 Notes Indenture, which will amend the definition of “Credit Facilities” in the 2022 Notes Indenture to include debt securities as a permitted form of additional secured indebtedness, in addition to term loans and other credit facilities currently permitted. The Supplemental Indenture will be effective immediately upon its execution and delivery to the trustee under the 2022 Notes Indenture. However, the proposed amendment will not become operative until EXCO notifies the trustee under the 2022 Notes Indenture that the amounts payable by EXCO pursuant to the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation are deposited with the Tender Agent on the early payment date, which is expected to occur on August 12, 2016.
