Introductory Note
On December 17, 2010, American Oil & Gas Inc. (the Company) completed the previously announced
merger (the Merger) with Hess Investment Corp. (Merger Sub), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hess
Corporation (Hess), whereby Merger Sub merged with and into the Company with the Company
continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hess. The Merger was effected
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 27, 2010 (the Merger
Agreement), by and among Hess, Merger Sub and the Company. At the effective time of the Merger,
the Company changed its name from American Oil & Gas Inc. to Hess Bakken Investments I Corporation.
In addition, the following events took place in connection with the consummation of the Merger:
Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition. |
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger each share of the Companys
common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than shares that were held by the
Company as treasury stock or by Hess or Merger Sub) was converted into the right to receive 0.1373
shares of Hess common stock. No fractional shares of Hess common stock will be issued and the
Companys former stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Hess common
stock that they would otherwise have been entitled to receive in the Merger.
In connection with the Merger, each share of the Companys restricted common stock outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became fully vested at the effective time of
the Merger and was converted into the right to receive 0.1373 shares of Hess common stock. Holders
of the Companys stock options outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger
became entitled at the effective time of the Merger to receive a number of shares of Hess common
stock equal to the product of (i) 0.1373 multiplied by (ii) the product of (A) the number of shares
of the Companys common stock issuable upon the exercise of the relevant stock option multiplied by
(B) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the excess of (I) the closing price of shares of the
Companys common stock on the last full trading day prior to the effective time of the Merger
(i.e., December 16, 2010) over (II) the exercise price per share of the applicable stock option, by
(2) the closing price of shares of the Companys common stock on the last full trading day prior to
the effective time of the Merger (i.e., December 16, 2010).
The Merger Agreement has been referenced herein to provide investors and stockholders with
information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about
the Company, Hess or Merger Sub. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the
Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, were
solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed
upon by the
2
contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of
allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing
these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the
contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party
beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and
covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or
condition of the Company, Hess or Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may
change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully
reflected in the Companys or Hess public disclosures.
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit
2.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on July 29, 2010, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
The disclosure regarding the Merger and the Merger Agreement under Item 5.01 hereof is incorporated
by reference into this Item 2.01.
Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on December 17, 2010, the Company notified the
NYSE Amex Equities that the Merger was completed and that each share of the Companys common stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than shares that were held by the Company as
treasury stock or by Hess or Merger Sub) was converted into the right to receive 0.1373 shares of
Hess common stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
The Company requested that the NYSE Amex Equities file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
a notification of removal of the Companys common stock from listing on the NYSE Amex Equities on
Form 25, which the NYSE Amex Equities filed on December 20, 2010.
Item 3.03 | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
At the effective time of the Merger, holders of shares of the Companys common stock outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger ceased to have any rights as stockholders in
the Company (other than their right to receive the merger consideration).
The disclosure regarding the Merger and the Merger Agreement under Item 2.01 hereof is incorporated
by reference into this Item 3.03.
Item 5.01 | Changes in Control of Registrant. |
The Merger Agreement was adopted by the Companys former stockholders at a special meeting of the
Companys stockholders held on December 17, 2010. Shortly after the meeting, also on December 17,
2010, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the
Company continuing as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hess. The
Company changed its name from American Oil & Gas Inc. to Hess Bakken Investments I Corporation at
the effective time of the Merger.

The disclosure regarding the Merger and the Merger Agreement under Items 2.01 and 3.03 hereof is
incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.
Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
As a result of the Merger, all of the directors of the Company immediately prior to the effective
time of the Merger (the Prior Directors) were removed as directors as the Company as of the
effective time of the Merger. These removals were not a result of any disagreements between the
Company and the Prior Directors on any matter relating to the Companys operations, policies or
practices. Upon completion of the Merger, two of the directors of Merger Sub and an individual
appointed by the current stockholder of the Company became the directors of the Company.
Also as a result of the Merger, each of the principal executive officer, president, principal
financial officer and principal accounting officer and named executive officers of the Company
immediately prior to the effective time was removed from his respective position with the Company
as of the effective time of the Merger. Upon completion of the Merger, the directors of the
Company appointed certain individuals to serve as the officers of the Company.
Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Companys Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws were
amended and restated at the effective time of the Merger to read substantially in their entirety as
the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Merger Sub. The Companys Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 and incorporated into this Item 5.03 by
reference.
