Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, on May 3, 2012, Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the “Company”) announced that, subject to market conditions, it intends to offer up to $450 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due in 2020 in a private placement to eligible purchasers (the “Notes Offering”).

In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 4, 2012 presentation materials (the “Investor Presentation”) to be shown to prospective investors. On May 7, 2012 the Investor Presentation will include revised and additional information on pages 12, 19, 24, 34, 36, 37, 54 and 55 (the “Updated Investor Presentation).” The Updated Investor Presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company intends to post the Investor Presentation, as revised by the Updated Investor Presentation, in the “Investors” section of its website at www.magnumhunterresources.com. The Company reserves the right to discontinue the availability of the Investor Presentation and the Updated Investor Presentation at any time.

The information furnished in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, 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, unless the Company specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Investor Presentation and the Updated Investor Presentation contain forward-looking statements regarding the Company based on current expectations. Those forward-looking statements include all statements other than those made solely with respect to historical fact. Numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of the subject matter of these statements are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. The Company does not undertake any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the statements contained in Exhibit 99.1 do not and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification of such securities under the securities laws of any such state.
