Filing of Form S-4 Registration Statement
Previously, on April 30, 2008, Stone Energy Corporation (“Stone”) announced that Stone, Stone Energy Offshore, L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stone (“Merger Sub”), and Bois d’Arc Energy, Inc. (“Bois d’Arc”) had entered into a merger agreement, pursuant to which Bois d’Arc will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stone, with Stone and Merger Sub each surviving the merger and Stone continuing its corporate existence (together, these transactions are referred to herein as the “merger”), subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. On June 6, 2008, Stone filed a Form S-4 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including a joint proxy statement/prospectus in furtherance of the merger. The Form S-4 contains information about Stone, Bois d’Arc, the merger and the combined operations of Stone following the merger, assuming the approval of the issuance of shares of Stone common stock in the merger by Stone shareholders, the approval of the merger by the Bois d’Arc stockholders and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the merger.
These materials are not a substitute for the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the proposed merger, or the joint proxy statement/prospectus. The Form S-4 has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. Investors are urged to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus which contains important information, including detailed risk factors, when it becomes available. The joint proxy statement/prospectus and other documents that will be filed by Stone and Bois d’Arc with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be available free of charge at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Stone Energy Corporation, 625 E. Kaliste Saloom Road, Lafayette, Louisiana 70508, Attention: Investor Relations; or by directing a request to Bois d’Arc Energy, Inc., 600 Travis Street, Suite 5200, Houston, TX 77002, Attention: Investor Relations.
