Sundance Energy Inc. Announces Current 2020 Hedge Book Covers

7,931 Barrels Per Day at $54.08 Floor Price

DENVER, MARCH 13^th, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Sundance Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDE) (“Sundance” or the “Company”) today provided details regarding its current hedge book and recent actions the Company has taken to improve its already robust hedge position to provide price certainty for 2020 and 2021.

For the balance of 2020 from April through December, Sundance has hedges in place covering a total of 7,931 barrels of crude oil per day (or 2,181,000 barrels total) at a weighted average floor price of $54.08 per barrel. For the calendar year 2021, Sundance has hedges in place covering a total of 7,430 barrels of crude oil per day (or 2,712,000 barrels total) at a weighted average floor price of $48.92 per barrel. In total, Sundance has 5,581,000 barrels of crude oil hedged through 2023. In 2020 Sundance has 225,000 barrels subject to an initial $50.00 floor price and a $35.00 reparticipating floor price and 18,000 barrels subject to an initial $55.00 floor price and a $30.00 reparticipating floor price. In 2021 Sundance has 300,000 barrels subject to an initial $50.00 floor price and a $35.00 reparticipating floor price.

Sundance’s Chief Executive Officer, Eric McCrady, stated, “Sundance’s policy is to lock in hedges when we make capital investments on wells for a period of at least 18 months to lock in attractive economic returns. We also manage our hedge position opportunistically to protect our balance sheet and liquidity position. Sundance’s crude oil hedge position now represents ~90% of analyst’s production forecasts for 2020 and ~80% for 2021. We believe that the certainty these hedges create will provide the Company with a great deal of flexibility in this period of price volatility and market uncertainty. Sundance will be providing additional details around its reduced 2020 capital plan when it reports on its fourth quarter 2019 results on next Monday, March 16, 2020.”
