Oasis Announces Early Results of Tender Offers and Increase to Maximum Tender Cap

HOUSTON, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Oasis Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: OAS)  today announced early results of the previously announced cash tender offers (the "Tender Offers") to purchase its outstanding senior notes listed in the table below (collectively, the "Notes") and its increase in the maximum aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued interest) from $275.0 million to $366.8 million (the "Maximum Tender Cap"). Except for such increase, all other terms and conditions of the Tender Offers remain unchanged.

According to information received from D.F. King & Co., Inc. ("D.F. King"), the Tender Agent and Information Agent for the Tender Offers, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 26, 2016 (that date and time, the "Early Participation Date"), the Company had received valid tenders from holders of the Notes as outlined in the table below.

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all remaining conditions to the Tender Offers described in the Company's Offer to Purchase, dated September 13, 2016 (as amended to increase the Maximum Tender Cap, the "Offer to Purchase") having been either satisfied or waived by the Company, the Company intends to accept for purchase the principal amount of each series of the Notes indicated in the table above, such that the aggregate purchase price for the Notes equals the Maximum Tender Cap. These Notes will be purchased on the "Early Payment Date," which is expected to occur later today.

Because the Tender Offers have been fully subscribed as of the Early Participation Date, holders who tender Notes after the Early Participation Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Any Notes tendered after the Early Participation Date, together with the Notes tendered prior to the Early Participation Date and not accepted for purchase, will be returned to the holders as described in the Offer to Purchase.

Payments for Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Notes up to, but not including, the Early Payment Date. Holders of Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the Early Participation Date and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will receive the applicable Total Consideration (as set forth in the table above) for such series, which includes the "Early Participation Amount" of $30.00 for each series of Notes as set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

As previously announced, the financing condition to which the Tender Offers were subject has been satisfied.  The Tender Offers are subject to the remaining conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. Full details of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, which is available from D.F. King.
