Callon Petroleum Co. issued the following statement in response to the letter submitted by shareholder Paulson & Co. Inc.:

"Callon maintains an open dialogue with all of our shareholders and welcomes constructive input toward the shared goal of maximizing shareholder value. Our Board of Directors is committed to acting in the best interests of Callon shareholders and will continue to take actions to deliver returns on their behalf.

"The Board routinely surveys the strategic landscape and evaluates various opportunities to maximize shareholder value in the context of the prevailing operational, financial and strategic environments and remains committed to this ongoing effort. To this end, the Callon Board, with the assistance of outside financial and legal advisors, carefully evaluated the combination with Carrizo and determined that the transaction delivers compelling value to Callon shareholders.

"We remain confident in the strategic and financial benefits of our combination with Carrizo, which will create a leading oil and gas company with scaled development operations focused on the Permian Basin in a transaction that is accretive on all per share metrics. The pro forma company will allocate more capital to the Permian Basin than the combined Callon and Carrizo standalone development plans, supported by strong free cash flow from the Eagle Ford Shale."
