Dan,

Would appreciate your view of the market's current treatment of Callon. PPS has declined from $14 on 5/22 to $11 on 6/1. Yes, small caps are more volatile, and a 21% decline in 8 trading sessions certainly qualifies as volatile.

In addition to the upsized ($400 mm, as of 5/31) unsecured note offering, on 5/30 they announced closing of a common stock offering and full exercise of overallotment (total 25.3 mm shares), taking their total common s/o to 227.5 mm (so about 12% dilution).

Currently, there is a lot of publicity surrounding crude price differentials in the Permian, especially for smaller companies that do not have takeaway capacity secured contractually. Obviously also, capacity constraints for ngas there is in the news.

Does Callon have takeaway capacity contractually secured?

Besides the above, are there any other issues that might explain recent weakness?

Thanks.
