Amplify Energy Announces Extension to Expiration Date of Tender Offer

HOUSTON, Dec. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amplify Energy Corp. (OTCQX: AMPY) (“Amplify” or the “Company”) announced today that, as a result of the market closure on December 5, 2018, the Company is extending the expiration date of its previously announced tender offer to purchase for cash up to 2,916,667 shares of its common stock (the “shares”) at a purchase price of $12.00 per share. As amended, the tender offer, the proration period and withdrawal rights will now expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, December 18, 2018, unless further extended or earlier terminated.

Tenders of shares must be made prior to the expiration of the tender offer and may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration of the tender offer. Stockholders wishing to tender their shares but who are unable to deliver them physically or by book-entry transfer prior to the expiration of the tender offer, or who are unable to make delivery of all required documents to the depositary prior to the expiration of the tender offer, may tender their shares by complying with the procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase for tendering by notice of guaranteed delivery. Payments of the tender consideration for the shares validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date and accepted for purchase will be made promptly after the expiration time.

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the tender offer, has advised the Company that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, December 6, 2018, an aggregate of 1,242,691 shares of common stock were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn.

Pursuant to the tender offer, the Company’s stockholders may tender all or a portion of their shares. Stockholders will receive the purchase price in cash, subject to applicable withholding and without interest, subject to the conditions of the tender offer, including the provisions relating to proration and conditional tenders in the event that the number of shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn exceeds 2,916,667. Full details of the terms and conditions of the tender offer are included in the Company’s Offer to Purchase and in the Letter of Transmittal relating to the tender offer, as amended, that has been distributed to stockholders and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Except as described in this news release, the terms of the tender offer remain the same as set forth in the Offer to Purchase and in the Letter of Transmittal.

D. F. King & Co., Inc. is acting as information agent for the tender offer. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is acting as dealer manager for the tender offer. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC is acting as the depositary for the tender offer.

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the tender offer. However, none of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors, the dealer manager, the information agent or the depositary makes any recommendation to stockholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their shares. No person is authorized to make any such recommendation. Stockholders must make their own decision as to whether to tender their shares and, if so, how many shares to tender. In doing so, stockholders should read carefully the information in, or incorporated by reference in, the Offer to Purchase and in the Letter of Transmittal (as amended or supplemented), including the purposes and effects of the tender offer. Stockholders are urged to discuss their decisions with their own tax advisors, financial advisors and/or brokers.
