DENVER, CO–(Marketwired – June 14, 2016) – Synergy Resources Corporation (“Synergy” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: SYRG) today announced that it has closed its previously announced Greeley Crescent Acquisition, that its borrowing base has been reaffirmed, and that the Company has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as its new independent auditor.

Wattenberg Field Transactions

The Company today announced the first closing of its previously announced Greeley Crescent Acquisition from Noble Energy for certain assets (approximately 33,100 net acres and 800 BOEPD in Weld County, CO) in the Wattenberg Field within the DJ Basin. Later this week Synergy expects to close on the previously announced divestiture of certain undeveloped acreage in Adams County. The Company anticipates the second closing on its Greeley Crescent Acquisition for the operated production and remaining assets in late 2016. After this week’s transactions, including the assets to be acquired in the second closing of the Greeley Crescent Acquisition, the Company’s acreage within the core Wattenberg Field will be approximately 69,000 net acres, of which over 47,000 net acres lie within what the Company considers to be the fairway of the field. The Company expects wells in the fairway to yield stronger economic returns, given today’s commodity price environment, than the areas adjacent to or outside of the fairway.

Credit Facility and Note Placement

Synergy also announced today that the Company’s borrowing base on its revolving credit facility has been re-affirmed at $145 million, which is currently undrawn, and that the Company has elected to keep its commitment at this level. The Company also announced the closing of its previously disclosed $80 million private note offering, which occurred contemporaneously with the first closing of the Greeley Crescent Acquisition.

Auditor Change

The Company also announced the appointment of Deloitte as its independent registered public accounting firm, replacing the Company’s former auditor. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014 and 2015 and the transition period ended December 31, 2015, did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, the transition period ended December 31, 2015 and the subsequent interim period to March 31, 2016, there have not been any disagreements between the Company and the former auditing firm on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures that would have caused the former auditor to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The appointment of Deloitte was made by the Company’s Audit Committee. Deloitte will begin providing services to the Company immediately.
