    In addition, Cimarex has received the requisite number of consents to adopt the Proposed Amendments with respect to each of the three outstanding series of Existing Cimarex Notes that are subject to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. Cimarex has entered into a supplemental indenture with the trustee for each such outstanding series of Existing Cimarex Notes (each, a "Supplemental Indenture") effecting the Proposed Amendments.

    Withdrawal rights for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations expired as of the Early Tender Date.

    The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement dated as of September 8, 2021 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the "Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement"). Each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation is conditioned upon the completion of the other Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, although Cabot may waive such condition at any time with respect to an Exchange Offer.  Any waiver of a condition by Cabot with respect to an Exchange Offer will automatically waive such condition with respect to the corresponding Consent Solicitation.

    In addition, the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are conditioned upon the consummation of the merger transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 23, 2021, as amended on June 29, 2021 (as it may be further amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), among Cabot, Double C Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cabot ("Merger Sub"), and Cimarex, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Cimarex (the "Merger"), with Cimarex surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Cabot.  Cabot, in its sole discretion, may terminate, withdraw, amend or extend any of the Exchange Offers and may extend the Expiration Date (as defined herein) with respect to the Exchange Offers, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement.  Any such termination, withdrawal, amendment or extension by Cabot will automatically terminate, withdraw, amend or extend the corresponding Consent Solicitation, as applicable.

    The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 5, 2021, unless extended (the "Expiration Date"). Holders who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Existing Cimarex Notes after the Early Tender Date but at or before the Expiration, will be eligible to receive, on the settlement date, the applicable Exchange Consideration as defined in and set out in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement. The settlement date will be promptly after the Expiration Date and is expected to be within two business days after the Expiration Date.

    The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are only being made, and documents relating to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are only being distributed, to holders of Existing Cimarex Notes who complete and return an eligibility letter confirming that they are persons (a) in the United States who are reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or (b) that are outside the United States who are not "U.S. persons" as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act and who are eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, as set forth in the eligibility letter ("eligible holders").  The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, a copy of which may be obtained by contacting D.F. King & Co., Inc., the exchange agent and information agent in connection with the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, at (800) 714-3311 (U.S. toll-free) or (212) 269-5550 (banks and brokers) or [email protected].  The eligibility letter is available electronically at: www.dfking.com/cimarex.

    This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase, or the solicitation of tenders or consents with respect to, any security.  No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.  The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made to eligible holders solely pursuant to the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law.

    The New Cabot Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities laws.  Therefore, the New Cabot Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. person absent registration, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
