(XEC Alert) Johnson Fistel Investigates Proposed Sale of Cimarex; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Deal? SAN DIEGO, May 24, 2021

SAN DIEGO, May 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Cimarex Energy Co. (NYSE: XEC) ("Cimarex" or the "Company") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation ("Cabot") (NYSE: COG).

On May 24, 2021, Cimarex announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Cabot. Under the terms of the agreement, Cimarex shareholders will receive 4.0146 shares of Cabot common stock for each share of Cimarex common stock owned. The exchange ratio, based on Cabot's closing price on May 21, 2021, represents a total consideration of approximately $71.50 per Cimarex share.

Cimarex shareholders will be subject to the future price fluctuation of Cabot's stock price.

The investigation concerns whether the Cimarex board failed to satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Cimarex shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given analysts' projections for future revenue growth.
