Section 7 – Regulation FD

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K of EXCO Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) dated May 24, 2016, the Company has been deemed to be noncompliant with New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards since June 2, 2016 due to the Company having an Audit Committee (“Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) consisting of only a single member following the departure of two former members of the Audit Committee, Jeffrey D. Benjamin and Jeffrey S. Serota, from the Board on May 23, 2016.

On June 15, 2016, the Company’s Board appointed Wilbur L. Ross, Jr. and B. James Ford, each of whom is currently a member of the Board, to the Audit Committee and provided notice to the NYSE of the appointments. On June 21, 2016, the Company received a notice from the NYSE acknowledging that, as of June 20, 2016, the Company is in compliance with all NYSE listing standards. The notice also provided that the “.BC” designation that was added to the Company’s ticker symbol to indicate the status of the common shares as “below compliance” will cease to be disseminated on June 22, 2016 and the Company will then be removed from the list of noncompliant issuers maintained by the NYSE.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
