Background

As previously reported by Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the “Company”) in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2015 (the “Filing 8-K”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 (the “Filing”) of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under the caption In re Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, et al., Case No. 15-12533 (KG) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).  In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Third Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and its Debtor Affiliates (the “Plan”) was filed by the Debtors with the Bankruptcy Court on April 14, 2016 [Docket No. 1138].

Also as previously reported in the Filing 8-K, prior to the Filing, on December 15, 2015, the Company and the other Debtors entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement, as amended on February 25, 2016 and on April 1, 2016 (as amended, the “Restructuring Support Agreement”), with certain Bridge Financing Lenders, certain Second Lien Lenders and certain Noteholders (as such terms are defined therein).  The Restructuring Support Agreement contains, among other things, certain milestones for progress in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Milestones”).  In addition, as previously reported in the Filing 8-K, on December 17, 2015, the Company, the lenders party thereto and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Cantor Fitzgerald”), entered into a Debtor in Possession Credit Agreement, as amended on January 7, 2016, on February 12, 2016 and on April 1, 2016 (as amended, the “DIP Credit Agreement”).

Third Amendment to Restructuring Support Agreement

On April 13, 2016, the Company and the other Debtors entered into a Third Amendment to Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA Amendment”) with certain Second Lien Lenders and certain Noteholders in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement.  Pursuant to the RSA Amendment, the dates for achievement of three of the Milestones were modified, as follows:

(i) the date by which the Bankruptcy Court shall have commenced the confirmation hearing on the Plan was extended from April 8, 2016 to April 18, 2016;

(ii) the date by which the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Plan confirmation order was extended from April 11, 2016 to April 19, 2016; and

(iii) the date by which the Debtors shall have consummated the transactions contemplated by the Plan was extended from April 18, 2016 to May 3, 2016.

Fourth Amendment to Debtor in Possession Credit Agreement

On April 8, 2016, the Company, the lenders party thereto and Cantor Fitzgerald entered into a Fourth Amendment to the DIP Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Amendment”).  Pursuant to the DIP Credit Amendment, the dates for achievement of the three Milestones modified by the RSA Amendment were extended respectively to the same dates set forth in the RSA Amendment.

The foregoing descriptions of the RSA Amendment and the DIP Credit Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the complete text thereof.  A copy of the RSA Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and a copy of the DIP Credit Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K.
