Synergy Resources Corporation reported that George Seward has resigned from, and Daniel E. Kelly has been appointed to, the Company's Board of Directors effective February 1, 2016.

Mr. Kelly has 34 years of experience in the oil and gas industry focused on the development of energy assets in the Western United States. He spent the last 13 years in various capacities with Noble Energy, Inc., including Vice President in charge of the DJ Basin (Wattenberg) Business Unit before he retired in March 2015. In 2014, he served on the Governor's Colorado Oil and Gas Task Force. He earned a degree in Petroleum Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines.

Lynn Peterson, Synergy CEO & Chairman, commented, "The addition of Dan Kelly strengthens the independence of our Board. He brings a deep understanding of the Wattenberg Field and the opportunities and challenges therein. Dan's strategic expertise, as well as operational knowledge from his more than three decades of experience in the oil and gas sector, will be invaluable as we move forward building our Company. I am excited to have another Colorado native who feels great pride in his home state join our Board.

"I would also like to thank George Seward for his contributions to Synergy over the past five years as a member of our Board. George has been very instrumental in building the Company and his relationships within the Wattenberg community have proven to be a strong asset. It is my hope that the Company's relationship with Mr. Seward will continue as he remains a significant shareholder and a strong proponent of the Company."

Borrowing Base Redetermination

Synergy also announced that it successfully completed the redetermination of the borrowing base under its reserve based credit facility and a related amendment to the credit agreement. The redetermination provides for a borrowing base of $145 million, none of which is currently drawn.

Mr. Peterson commented, "With the recently completed equity raise of nearly $90 million the Company has put itself in a very strong position to grow during this downturn in the energy industry. We want to thank the existing shareholder base that participated in the equity issuance as well as welcome our new shareholders as we move ahead. Between our cash position and undrawn revolver we have over $200 million of liquidity and no debt on the Company's balance sheet. We continue to evaluate opportunities and hope to grow the Company's footprint over the remainder of the year."
