GMX RESOURCES INC. Announces Common Stock Offerings in Connection with Entry into Share Lending Arrangement

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Monday, February 4, 2008 GMX RESOURCES INC., NASDAQ GSM: ‘GMXR’; today announced that it has launched a fixed price offering of shares of its common stock, to be borrowed from the Company by an affiliate of Jefferies & Company, Inc. for sale in a public offering. Subject to market conditions, approximately 870,000 to 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock will be sold in the fixed price offering. The exact number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be offered will depend on the terms of the Company’s concurrent offering of its convertible senior notes and the hedging to be conducted by investors in such convertible senior notes. The Company also expects to conduct an at-the-market offering of additional shares of its common stock to be borrowed by the same affiliate of Jefferies & Company, Inc. for sale in a public offering following the completion of the fixed price offering. Such affiliate of Jefferies & Company, Inc. will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the borrowed shares. These shares will be offered in order to facilitate hedging transactions by investors in the Company’s proposed simultaneous separate private offering of convertible senior notes due 2013. Such affiliate of Jefferies & Company, Inc. will be required to return the shares borrowed under the share lending agreement within a certain period after the entire aggregate principal amount of the Company’s convertible senior notes due 2013 ceases to be outstanding and the Company settles all payments or deliveries in respect of such notes. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the offerings of its common stock but will receive a nominal lending fee under the share lending agreement.

While the borrowed shares will be considered issued and outstanding for corporate law purposes, the Company believes that under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles currently in effect, the borrowed shares will not be considered outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting earnings per share because the shares lent pursuant to the share lending agreement are required to be returned to the Company.

The Company has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus and a prospectus supplement) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and prospectus supplement in that registration statement and other documents the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Company, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus and prospectus supplement if you request it by calling toll-free 1-888-449-2342, by emailing cquinlan@jefferies.com or by writing Jefferies & Company, Inc., 520 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022.
