EXPLANATORY NOTE
Amerac Energy Corporation (the "Registrant") previously filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-24643) (the
"Registration Statement") covering up to 1,677,459 shares of its common stock,
par value $.05 per share ("Common Stock"), to be sold from time to time by the
selling shareholders named in the Registration Statement, and 154,175 shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of certain warrants described in the
Registration Statement (the "Warrants"). Pursuant to this Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, the Registrant deregisters all
such shares of its Common Stock not previously sold, including all such shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants. In accordance with the
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 17, 1997
(the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Southern Mineral Corporation ("SMC"), SMC
Acquisition Corp. ("Sub") and the Registrant, effective upon the filing with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 28, 1998, Sub merged with
and into the Registrant and the Registrant became a wholly owned subsidiary of
SMC (the "Merger"). At such time, pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger
Agreement, all of the Common Stock of the Registrant outstanding immediately
prior to the Merger (except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement) was
converted to the right to receive shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per
share, of SMC, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares. The reason for
deregistration is the consummation of the Merger. All shares of Common Stock are
now being deregistered and the Registration Statement shall have no further
force or effect.
