Item 7.01              Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 28, 2014, Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) announcing that the Company had entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and a Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Term Loan Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility maturing October 22, 2018 (the “Revolving Facility”).  The Revolving Facility is governed by a semi-annual borrowing base redetermination derived from the Company’s proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, and based on such redeterminations, the borrowing base may be decreased or increased up to a maximum commitment level of $250 million (currently $50 million).  The Second Lien Term Loan Agreement provides for a $340 million term loan facility secured by, subject to certain exceptions, a second lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries.  One of the primary reasons the Company entered into these new credit agreements in October was to eliminate most financial covenant requirements standard in typical borrowing base loan agreements.

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, both the Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement require the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants, including maintaining a ratio of the present value of proved reserves to secured debt of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 and a ratio of the present value of proved developed and producing reserves to secured debt of not less than 1.0 to 1.0, each as of the last day of any fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014 (the “Reserves Coverage Ratios”).

The Company has received the report of its proved reserves as of December 31, 2014, prepared by its independent petroleum engineering firm (the “Reserves Report”).  Based on the Company’s proved reserves and proved developed and producing reserves as of December 31, 2014, as reported in the Reserves Report, the Company has determined that it is in compliance with all of the Reserves Coverage Ratios as of December 31, 2014.

The borrowing base under the Revolving Facility is currently $50 million. Due to the minimal size, the Company does not anticipate there will be any reduction in the borrowing base under the Revolving Facility based on the Company’s proved crude oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2014, as reported in the Reserves Report.

The Company expects to issue a press release on or about Wednesday, January 21, 2015, more fully describing its total proved reserves as of December 31, 2014.
