EXCO Resources, Inc. Suspends Dividend

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dec. 15, 2014– EXCO Resources, Inc. (NYSE:XCO) (“EXCO” or the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has suspended the cash dividend to provide additional funds to reinvest into the Company.

Jeff Benjamin, EXCO’s chairman commented, “In view of the recent decline in oil prices and oil and natural gas companies’ securities, the Board believes that EXCO’s shareholders will be better served by reinvesting in our business rather than paying a dividend at this time. The Company is currently developing its 2015 budget, allocating capital to the highest risk adjusted return investments. The capital that would have been utilized by the dividend will help unlock additional value from EXCO’s current asset base, particularly with the development of the Shelby natural gas asset in East Texas in 2015.”
