Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (and the regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation BTR) prohibits directors and executive officers of an issuer from trading in the issuer's equity securities during certain periods when employees are unable to purchase or sell such issuer's equity securities held in a 401(k) Plan or similar plans. These periods are referred to as "Blackout Periods." This notice is to inform you that, as a director or executive officer of Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock"), you will temporarily be unable to sell or purchase shares of Comstock's common stock during an upcoming Blackout Period. II. Reason for Blackout Period. The Comstock Resources, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan ("Plan") will be changing recordkeeping service providers because the Plan has determined such change is in its best interests. III. Transactions to be Suspended or Affected by the Blackout Period. Participants in the Plan will be temporarily prohibited from trading in shares of Comstock's common stock. As a result of these changes, you temporarily will be unable to, directly or indirectly, purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer shares of Comstock's common stock (or any related derivative security). The restriction applies to shares of Comstock's common stock held both in the Plan and outside of the Plan. Under a limited exception, the sale or transfer of shares of Comstock's common stock may be permitted if you can establish by specific identification or tracing that the transaction does not involve shares of Comstock's common stock acquired in connection with your service or employment as a director or executive officer of Comstock.
