Management Comments

Mr. Gary C. Evans, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Magnum Hunter commented, "We are pleased to announce the divestiture of this conventional natural gas property. As a legacy asset of our Company, Cinco Terry simply no longer fits the Company's business strategy of focusing on unconventional resource plays (either oil or liquids rich) and this property is non-operated. We made the decision to divest all of our conventional oil and gas properties approximately thirty days ago and this transaction represents our first sale to meet that objective. The proceeds from this divestiture will immediately reduce our senior bank indebtedness and fund a portion of our anticipated 2011 capital expenditure program. Magnum Hunter anticipates reporting a capital gain on this sale in the fourth quarter of this year."
