As previously reported, Resaca and Cano agreed to merge in a tax-free, stock-for-stock exchange valued at $1.67 per Cano share, or a total of $76 million.

Cano shareholders will receive 2.1 shares of Resaca common stock for every share of Cano common stock, giving them ownership of approximately 50% of the combined company.

Resaca is an independent oil and gas development and production company based in Houston.

Cano is a Fort Worth independent energy producer.
