Nasdaq: GEOI>>GeoResources, Inc. Reports Results of Special Shareholders' Meeting

WILLISTON, N.D., April 2, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- GeoResources, Inc., (), today announced that at a special meeting of shareholders on March 29, 2007 in Williston, North Dakota, the shareholders of the company approved the issuance of shares pursuant to the merger agreement with Southern Bay Oil & Gas, L.P. and Chandler Energy, LLC. However, the approval by two- thirds of GeoResources shareholders to increase the total authorized shares of stock to 100 million common shares and 20 million preferred shares from the 10 million common shares currently authorized was not obtained, which is one of the conditions to closing the merger agreement, as the Company does not have enough authorized but unissued shares to complete the approved transactions. The meeting was therefore adjourned until April 17, 2007 in order to solicit additional proxies on this proposal. The Company needs approximately 565,000 additional shares or 14.9% of its outstanding shares, to vote for the proposal in order for it to be adopted. Also receiving shareholder approval was the Company's Amended and Restated 2004 Employee Stock Incentive Plan.
