As previously disclosed, the 2012 annual meeting of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the “Company”) has been rescheduled for January 17, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”).  In connection with the prior postponements of the Annual Meeting, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notified the Company on October 16, 2012 that the Company was at risk of violating Section 302.00 of the NYSE’s listing standards (“Section 302.00”), which requires listed companies to hold an annual shareholders’ meeting during each fiscal year.  On November 19, 2012, the Company requested an extension of time within which to hold the Annual Meeting.  On November 30, 2012, the NYSE granted the Company’s requested extension and agreed to waive the requirement of Section 302.00 provided that the Company holds the Annual Meeting on January 17, 2013, the presently scheduled date.
