Item 8.01. Other Events.
The 2012 annual meeting of stockholders of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the "Company"), has been scheduled for September 6, 2012 (the "Annual Meeting"). Because the date of the Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company's 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline for the submission of stockholder proposals for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 14a-8") will be the close of business on July 28, 2012. To be eligible for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials, stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 and with the Company's bylaws.
The deadline of July 28, 2012 applies only to stockholder proposals that are eligible for inclusion in the Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8.
Important Additional Information
The Company will be filing a proxy statement and other documents regarding the Annual Meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company's stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement and other relevant materials when they become available, because they will contain important information about the Company, the Annual Meeting and related matters. Stockholders may obtain a free copy of the Company's proxy statement when available, and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC at the SEC's website (www.sec.gov) and on the Company's website (www.magnumhunterresources.com).
