Management Comments
Mr. Gary C. Evans, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Magnum Hunter, commented, "The appointment of Chris Hewitt fills a void that has existed throughout this year within our organization due to our corporate move to Dallas. He will be assisting me and our financial team as we continue to navigate during these trying times within the energy industry. We believe there currently exists a number of "financial engineering" opportunities available to us due to depressed trading multiples in our sector across the board. Chris Hewitt and his substantial financial experience will be instrumental in assisting us in reviewing these possible restructuring scenarios."
