Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On November 8, 2016, Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") announced financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  A copy of the press release announcing Comstock's earnings and operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and other matters is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The earnings press release contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP").  Comstock has provided reconciliations within the earnings release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  Operating cash flow is presented in the earnings release because management believes it to be useful to investors as a common alternative measure of cash flows.  EBITDAX is presented in the earnings release because management believes that EBITDAX, which represents Comstock's results from operations before interest, income taxes, and certain non-cash items, including depreciation, depletion and amortization and exploration expense, is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by certain investors and financial analysts.  The non-GAAP financial measures described above should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP that are presented in the earnings release.

 

As approved by the holders of the Company's common stock as described below, on November 8, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to increase the Company's authorized capital stock, which such Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on November 8, 2016.  The following proposals were submitted to the holders of the Company's common stock for a vote:

7,463,350 shares of the Company's common stock were represented at the meeting or 57% of the Company's voting capital stock.  Broker non-votes were not included in the tabulation of any of the proposals.

The results of such votes were as follows:

The information provided in Item 2.02 is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
