Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On May 13, 2020, Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an exchange agreement with holders of the Company’s 8.5% senior secured notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). Pursuant to this agreement, the Company agreed to issue $13,232,369 in agreed upon value of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) in exchange for $15,567,493 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Company will initially issue the holders 15,490,949 shares of Common Stock. The Company may be required to issue the holders additional shares of Common Stock in the future, if the average daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Common Stock over a specified period is below the price at which the initial shares were deemed to be issued. This transaction is expected to close and the initial shares of Common Stock are expected to be issued on May 18, 2020.
Upon closing of this and the Company’s other recent exchange agreements, previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 8, 2020, the Company will have approximately $305.8 million remaining principal amount of Notes outstanding.
The issuance of the shares of Common Stock in exchange for the Notes is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
