LEXINGTON, Ky., July 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- RAAM Global Energy Company ("RAAM" or the "Company") announced today it has made certain amendments to its previously announced offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") any and all of its outstanding 12.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the "Existing Notes") held by Eligible Holders (as defined below) for newly issued 12.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the "New Notes") to be issued by RAAM and shares of RAAM's common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Exchange Shares"). Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, RAAM is soliciting consents from holders of the Existing Notes to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the "Consent Solicitation). RAAM is amending the terms of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation as follows:

• Expiration. RAAM has extended the expiration date for each of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation to 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on July 16, 2015, unless extended by RAAM. Withdrawal rights under the Exchange Offer will be extended to 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on July 16, 2015.

The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, as amended, were scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on July 9, 2015. At 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on July 9, 2015, approximately $226.4 million principal amount of Existing Notes representing approximately 95.1% of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Exchange Offer.

The New Notes or Exchange Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. person, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or in accordance with an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Only "Eligible Holders" are authorized to participate in the Exchange Offer.  An "Eligible Holder" is a person or entity who (a) holds at least $20,000 in principal amount of Existing Notes, and (b) certifies their status as (i) a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (ii) an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act or (iii) a person outside of the United States who is not a "U.S. Person" as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to purchase the Existing Notes or an offer to sell securities. The Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation are only being made pursuant to the offering documents, the supplement thereto and the related consent and letter of transmittal, which explain the full terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation. The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation do not constitute an offer to exchange Existing Notes in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to make such an offer under applicable securities law or blue sky laws. Eligible Holders should read the Offer to Exchange and Consent Solicitation carefully, as well as any amendments or supplements to those documents, because they will contain important information. In addition, RAAM will provide copies of these documents free of charge to Eligible Holders upon request to Epiq Systems Inc., at (646) 282-2500 or via email at [email protected] (please include "RAAM" in the subject line).
