HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Aug 7, 2014) - Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (NYSE: MHR) (NYSE MKT: MHR.PRC) (NYSE MKT: MHR.PRD) (NYSE MKT: MHR.PRE) ("Magnum Hunter" or the "Company") announced today that the Company will relocate its corporate headquarters from Houston, Texas to the Dallas, Texas area effective on or about December 31, 2014. The Company's finance, treasury and reservoir engineering departments will be moving to the Dallas area as part of the corporate headquarters relocation.

Magnum Hunter Management Comments

Mr. Gary C. Evans, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Magnum Hunter, commented, "Our Board of Directors and senior management have been considering this move for over a year, following the sale of our Eagle Ford assets in April 2013. Because our future growth potential is focused primarily in the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale in West Virginia and Ohio, there is no longer any strategic reason to maintain both a corporate office in Houston and accounting department offices in the Dallas area. Additionally, not only do we gain the synergies of having all corporate personnel under one roof, we also expect to achieve significant G&A savings, including a reduction in travel expenses. Senior management is actively reviewing available office lease space predominantly in the Las Colinas area of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex."
