Exchanges approximately 750 net acres on an acre-for-acre basis in core New Mexico Delaware acreage
Increases Working Interest and Net Revenue Interest to 100% in core sections including those containing  production from the Wildhog and Prizehog wells
Concentrates acreage in core operational area and eliminates CAPEX exposure in traded non-operated sections
Immediate increase in production and PDP and Proved Reserves at closing

Lilis Energy, Inc., an exploration and development company operating in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico, announced today that it has entered into an acre-for-acre trade of approximately 750 net acres in Lea County, New Mexico. The transaction increases Lilis' Gross Working Interest (GWI) in its New Mexico Delaware Basin acreage up to 100% in core sections. All the acreage that was traded away was in non-operated sections with lower working interests. The transaction is subject to customary adjustments and is expected to close in the near future.

"This transaction is another key milestone in connection with our strategic 2018 initiative to core up acreage and increase our average working interest in core operating areas. Following last month's announcement of an accretive acreage exchange on our Texas property, this trade in New Mexico increases our working interests for future drilling plans, as well as in sections with four producing wells including Wildhog 1 and 2 and Prizehog 1 and 2. We recently completed Wolfcamp XY and Wolfcamp A wells, in addition to previously completed Wolfcamp B wells, with excellent results in these sections," said Ronald D. Ormand, Chairman and CEO.

Upon closing, the acreage trade provides Lilis an increase in PDP and PUD reserves, along with an immediate increase in both current and future production. The complementary acreage is concentrated in four sections of the Company's main operational area, including 100% working interest in the sections incorporating the Wildhog and Prizehog wells. Upon closing, Lilis will provide updates to the increase in reserves and production.
