(OTCMarkets: ENRJ) ("EnerJex" or the "Company"), a domestic onshore oil company, announced today a transaction pursuant to which the Company repurchased 2,000,000 shares of its common stock, representing approximately 3% of its common shares outstanding, and acquired an additional 10% working interest in certain leases covering 7,200 acres in its Cherokee Project located in Eastern Kansas. These leases are primarily undeveloped and were majority owned by EnerJex prior to the completion of this transaction, which closed at year-end with an effective date of November 30, 2012. The subject leases produce approximately 50 gross barrels of oil per day, and this rate is expected to increase significantly in the near term following a development program which has already been funded and is nearly complete. In addition, these leases offer the potential for hundreds of future drilling locations. As consideration for this transaction, the Company made a net cash payment of $270,000 at closing and issued a promissory note in the amount of $825,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 0.24% per annum and has scheduled payments of $200,000 due at the end of each of calendar quarter through September 30, 2013, followed by a final payment of $225,000 due on December 31, 2013.
