The following is a letter first sent to the stockholders of Cano Petroleum, Inc. on June 14, 2010:
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT
PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR PROXY TODAY
June 14, 2010
Dear Fellow Stockholder:
We have previously mailed to you proxy materials in connection with the Special Meeting of Stockholders of Cano Petroleum, Inc. (“Cano”) to be held on June 23, 2010. Your vote is important, and your participation is requested at this important meeting. Please remember, if you do not vote, it has the same effect as a vote “against” the merger proposal.
Cano, Resaca Exploitation, Inc. (“Resaca”) and Resaca’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Resaca Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger. Under the merger agreement, Resaca will acquire Cano through a merger of Merger Sub with and into Cano, and following the merger, Cano will continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resaca.
We advise you that Resaca filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (333-164551) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2010, regarding an offering of its common stock.
For the reasons set forth in the proxy statement, dated June 2, 2010, the members of the Cano board of directors, who voted, unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by it, declared its advisability, and recommend that the Cano stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement, “FOR” the adoption of the Cano Series D Amendment, as more fully described in the proxy materials, and “FOR” the approval of the proposal to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the other two proposals.
Please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card at your earliest convenience. To vote by Internet or telephone, please follow the instructions outlined below. If you need assistance voting your shares, please call D.F. King & Co., Inc. toll free at (800) 758-5378.
On behalf of the Cano board of directors, thank you for your cooperation, continued support and prompt response.
|

Sincerely, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

S. Jeffrey Johnson |

Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer |
