mhr does get lot of following; they are in bakken area?

re;
Yep, they sold out for MHR for less than 9 cents a share when another company was offering them a dollar. I was in for around 3 bucks a share, so I really got the shaft. Although, after I got my shares of MHR, it dropped drastically and I bought more. It's on the way back up so I'm almost even. I'll buy more on dips below 4

The settlement came from Lexington, and it said the court held a hearing on April 27, 2012 but didn't know how long it would be before they had a decision. I sent out a few e-mails, no replies!

i was wondering what happen to this one; LEXINGTON, Ky., Apr 11, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- NGAS Resources, Inc. (NGAS, Trade ), an independent exploration and production company focused on unconventional natural gas plays in the southern Appalachian Basin, announced that on April 8, 2011 its shareholders approved the acquisition of NGAS by Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation ("Magnum Hunter") in an all-stock transaction structured as a statutory arrangement under British Columbia law, where NGAS is organized.

Under the arrangement agreement for the transaction, each outstanding common share of NGAS will be transferred to Magnum Hunter for the right to receive 0.0846 shares of Magnum Hunter common stock. The exchange ratio for the transaction is not subject to any adjustments and will result in the issuance of approximately 6.6 million shares of Magnum Hunter common stock to NGAS shareholders.

I have no shares or details to share on that. Please call the company or your brokerage service.

Yeah, much better....!!! I doubled down when it hit 40 cents..
Natural gas has been getting a lot of promo lately, hope your shares of MHR pays off for you and all of us!

1.1 would have been great. I think my 400 shares turns out to be 34 now. Ameritrade is showing it as a major loss on the gain/loss link.

Hope you faired better.

Thanks Zumba,
I've been patient with this pos so long, I guess a little wait won't hurt. Should have been 1:1 though

This is the info I received from Ameritrade:

Thank you for your inquiry. The most current information available states for every share of NGAS held, shareholders will receive .0846 of a share of MHR (Magnum Hunter). At this time we do not have a date by which we may expect to receive the new shares. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Magnum Hunter Resources Announces Closing of New $250 Million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

Ngas (NASDAQ:NGAS)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Thursday 14 April 2011

Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (NYSE: MHR) (NYSE Amex: MHR-PrC) (NYSE Amex: MHR-PrD) (the "Company" or "Magnum Hunter") announced today that the Company has closed on a new $250 million five-year term senior secured revolving credit facility (the "New Bank Facility"). The new borrowing base (the "New Borrowing Base") has been established at $145 million. The initial borrowing base has been set at $120 million upon the completion of the Company's acquisition of NGAS Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: NGAS) ("NGAS"), which is closing today. The borrowing base shall increase to the New Borrowing Base level of $145 million upon the closing of the Company's acquisition of Williston Basin focused NuLoch Resources, Inc. (TSX-V: NLR) (PINKSHEETS: NULCF) ("NuLoch"), which is expected to occur on or about April 29, 2011. Borrowings under the New Bank Facility will be used for general corporate purposes, including development of existing oil & gas properties.

The New Bank Facility provides for a semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base, which is based on the value assigned to the Company's proved crude oil and natural gas reserves as determined by third party engineering consultants. The New Borrowing Base has been established based upon the proved reserve values as of December 31, 2010 from a combination of NGAS's, NuLoch's, and the Company's total proved reserves. Based on values assigned to crude oil and natural gas properties which may be either acquired or drilled over time, the Company's borrowing base may increase up to the maximum $250 million commitment level. The New Bank Facility replaces Magnum Hunter's $150 million three-year term secured revolving credit facility, which had a borrowing base of $71.5 million. The New Bank Facility also provides for an interest rate margin ranging from LIBOR plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 3.25% depending on the level of outstanding borrowings at any given time under the New Bank Facility, which is a lower cost of funds than the prior senior bank facility.

Bank of Montreal serves as the "Administrative Agent" under the facility, with Capital One, N.A. serving as "Syndication Agent," Amegy Bank National Association, KeyBank National Association and UBS Securities LLC serving as "Co-Documentation Agents" and BMO Capital Markets serving as Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner. New participating banks that have been added to the facility are Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse AG, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, and Union Bank, N.A.

Management Comments

Mr. Ronald D. Ormand, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Magnum Hunter, commented, "Our Company's new bank facility validates the incremental asset value that has been created from a combination of our acquisition and drilling efforts. The Company's previously announced fiscal year 2011 drilling and development capital expenditure budget of $150 million is expected to increase by a minimum of $80 million as a result of the NGAS and NuLoch transactions. The 2011 capital budget will be funded using a combination of the following sources: (i) liquidity from undrawn borrowings under the new bank facility including cash; (ii) increased cash flows from operating activities; (iii) divestitures of non-strategic assets; (iv) non-recourse debt and/or equity financing for the future development costs associated with the Eureka Hunter pipeline gathering system and processing facility; and (v) continued issuance of the Company's Series 'D' non-convertible perpetual preferred stock under the Company's 'At-The-Market' sales program under our existing shelf registration statement. Magnum Hunter has no plans to issue additional common equity in fiscal 2011. We appreciate the continued support of our existing bank group and we welcome the addition of four new banks to the syndicate which include Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and Union Bank."

QBC already has the drilling credits. Much better Nat Gas play.

Granted in part to the speculative nature of being human.

in any of these exchanges all investors lose but stocks are risky business in favor of gov't.

I value your conversation. I cannot really say that would be best.
Would it work is my question?

i think bk would be better. they would at least have their company.

I forgot about those legal boys trying to drum up some business.
I very much doubt that would affect the deal. Even if it does. My personal opinion is NGAS will end up B.K. as creditors emerge.

Maybe those legal boys can figure out a better deal for shareholders? Oh and maybe those legal boys can figure out another buyer. Maybe those legal boys might think they are going to dictate a selling price to MHR. Of course those legal boys are only here to help. What is their price for helping? lol!

Sometimes in these times you just got to let it go. Go ahead and litigate all anyone wants. It will not improve the debt due.

Totally my opinion. I also own no shares in either company.


Some months ago I was hoping for alot better. I was also thinking alot better for ngas as a company. Natural gas prices though declined which actually sunk the hopes a bigger pot of revenue would soon arise.

Anyone else have a better direction for NGAS?

It might appear to be robbery, but NGAS has some serious financial concerns. In defined terms, NGAS cannot control it's debt and move forward without some type of huge financing that would only bury shareholders into oblivion for some time to come.

Not a fantastic deal, but a deal none-the-less. I also do not see a huge bidding war trying to break the deal either.

TK, did factoring some. 100 shares would=8 shares of MHR...this is an insane offer imho.

o.k., i see here. 0.0846 a share of mhr to ngas holders.

8 tenths of a MHR to ngas?

that highway robbery imho

is ngas still on sell block or buyout block? i think LNG/buyer.

closed at $0.5603

Happy New Year Gamma1848, I wasn't misinterpreting anything, I was only agreeing with the previous poster, NightStockStalker, to let everyone else know the deal. The pps of NGAS will have no effect on the number of shares of MHR, however it was based on the closing price of BOTH stocks the day of the deal. There is also the chance that the pps will drop below .55 if MHR goes down before the deal closes, and yes, that's when I will buy more! (For the reasons you stated)

NGAS shareholders will get more than $0.55 at current prices

Keyscruiser,

You are misinterpreting the terms that you quoted below. The deal is that for every share of NGAS you own you get 0.0846 shares of MHR.

It is the passage that you bolded and underlined that states that no matter what happens to the share price of MHR before the deal closes the exchange ratio will remain that NGAS owners get 0.0846 shares of MHR for each NGAS share. Regardless, unless you are looking for this as a way to get a 10% discount on MHR shares there are probably better merger arbitrage plays out there than this one unless M/A is your thing.

It is interesting to note that in July 2009 MHR had a $0.65 stock and a ~40 mln market cap (+/- not sure of actual share count at that time). At the same time NGAS had a $2.20 stock and a 80 mln market cap. Now MHR is at $7.20 is worth 500 mln and gets to absorb NGAS's assets for pennies on the dollar.

Two stocks in the same sector one up 1,000% the other down 75%; it would make for a nice case study on failed management. I can't wait to see what kind of golden parachutes these NGAS destroyers of value take home in this deal.

The exchange ratio for the transaction, which will not be adjusted for subsequent changes in market prices, was established based on an intra-day price of $6.50 for Magnum Hunter stock, representing a value to NGAS shareholders of $0.55 per share, a 41% premium to the NGAS closing price on December 23, 2010

It is not locked at .55 that is what it was at close last Thursday. You will receive .0846 of a share of MHR for every share of NGAS no matter the price. For the last 3 day's they have been following each other.

Some folks sold MHR to buy NGAS others sold NGAS to buy MHR. Its not clear where the advantage is at this point.

The only reason for NGAS to go up now is possibly big investors thinking this is a cheap way to buy MHR...???

I think you're right; 0.55 is what to be voted on. It should have been higher. MHR stands to gain if pps goes higher than 0.55.

equity8, I hate to burst your bubble, but MHR's price will not affect the buyout price of NGAS. It was "locked in" @ .55 per share.

MHR to list on NYSE good exposure for NGAS too. http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2010/12/29/magnum-hunter-to-list-on-nyse.html

NGAS value could grow (.0846 of MHR PPS) as MHR progresses, there is more room for NGAS to move up. MHR pre-market now is 7.7 translates to .65 for NGAS. Also due low O/S, better managament efficiencies of MHR and more buyers of MHR are pouring in could bode well for NGAS.

Maybe a little bounce today..?????? Or has it reached the buyout price, and stopped..??

Thanks Gamma1848 for the quality post with facts - very helpful. Hope the deal is good enough to take it to higher PPs this time.

The Wunderlich $1.00 target should not have been given any weight by investors.

Look at Wunderlisch's track record on NGAS; if you shorted each time Wunderlisch commented on NGAS you would have been in the green from start to finish on pretty much every trade:

10/14/2009 (NGAS at $2.40)
Wunderlich Initaited coverage with a $2.50 price target and hold rating. NGAS never traded higher a single day again.

3/17/2010 (NGAS at $1.71)
Wunderlich Upgraded NGAS with a $3.00 price target and a buy rating. NGAS traded higher three more days in its history.

5/12/2010 (NGAS at $1.40)
Wunderlich acts as comanager for NGAS secondary offering. The stock never trades higher again.

6/2010
Paul Farretti, managing director of Wunderlich, is added to NGAS's board.

11/10/2010 (NGAS at $0.60)
Wunderlich Maintains NGAS at buy, with a $1.00 price target.
NGAS never traded higher again


These law firms are ambulance chasers and the acquisition is their wreck.

The Law suit stated an analyst price target of $1.00. PPS could go higher?
http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/keyDevelopments?rpc=66&symbol=NGAS.O×tamp=20101228174800

I'm new to this board. Looking at the low 46.4M outsatnding shares it could reinforce the PPS in addition to the deal. Go NGAS!

This was a long overdue forced sale.
NGAS is selling the company for about 1/8 of its book value however its the best option management has; it has been the best option that management has had available to them for several years.

They should not have allowed the company with so many significant assets to run out of its liquidity. It should not have gotten to the point where by missing a deadline they went into default on their bonds.

By failing to close this deal by the end of the last quarter they were forced to give 7% of the company away to the bondholders in the form of 3.25 million $0.37 warrants.

Magnum Hunter (MHR) was up 7.3% today on the news of the steal that it was getting for NGAS. MHR is wisely doing this as an all stock deal since their stock is up 900% since mid 2009. At $0.0846 per share of MHR, NGAS shareholders are getting at $.609 as of todays close.

I think NGAS was over a barrel.. Might have been yet more bleak alternatives.

HOUSTON (AP) -- Magnum Hunter Resources will spend nearly $148 million to expand its shale assets in Appalachia, the company said Monday.

The Houston oil and gas producer is buying NGAS Resources Inc. in an all-stock deal valued at $98 million. The combined company controls about 300,000 acres of "high-quality, long-lived proved developed producing assets," said Gary Evans, Magnum's chairman and CEO.

""We have been studying the possibility of a business combination with NGAS for most of 2010," Evans said.

In a separate deal, Magnum will acquire assets in West Virginia from PostRock Energy Corp. in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $39.75 million. That deal is expected to be completed by mid-January, and the NGAS acquisition is expected to be completed by March 31.

Under the NGAS agreement, each NGAS common share will be transferred to Magnum Hunter in exchange for the right to receive 0.0846 of a share of Magnum Hunter stock. The exchange ratio was based on a price of $6.50 per Magnum Hunter share. Boards of both companies already have approved the deal. NGAS, based in Canada, still must receive approval of two-thirds from its shareholders and the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

Magnum Hunter Resources Corp. said it would also issue about 6.6 million shares, about 8 percent of its outstanding shares, and it will open up a credit line of $120 million.

Company shares slipped about 1 percent Monday.

For some, but then there is hope that share value will grow with the new company. Otherwise, alot of investors lost alot. I am wishing the best for those investors holding for the long term with the new company.

disclaimer:I have not owned any shares.

Nice news :)
