Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation’s (the “Company”) previously announced off-market takeover offer (the “Offer”) for Ambassador Oil and Gas Limited, an Australian company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: AQO) (“Ambassador”), closed at 7:00 p.m. (Sydney time) on September 5, 2014.  As previously reported by the Company, there was a competing offer for Ambassador by Drillsearch Energy Limited, and the Company had determined not to increase its Offer consideration for the reasons outlined in the Company’s press release issued on August 13, 2014 (the “Press Release”).  A copy of the Press Release was furnished as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2014.  Therefore, Ambassador shareholders holding 23,116 shares of Ambassador ordinary (or common) shares, representing less than 1% of the total number of Ambassador shares outstanding, accepted the Offer.  The Company will issue a total of 980 shares of its common stock to the Ambassador shareholders who accepted the Offer.
