As previously reported by Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the “Company”) in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2015 (the “Filing 8-K”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization (the “Filing”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under the caption In re Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, et al., Case No. 15-12533. In connection with the Filing, on December 17, 2015, the Debtors entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, and the lenders party thereto, which consist of certain of the Second Lien Lenders and the Noteholders (each as defined below) (the “DIP Lenders”), and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent for the DIP Lenders and as collateral agent.

On December 21, 2015, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court financing syndication procedures for its previously disclosed DIP Credit Agreement. The financing syndication process under the DIP Credit Agreement provides the Second Lien Lenders and Noteholders who are not yet DIP Lenders the opportunity to participate in the DIP Credit Agreement financing pursuant to the term sheet disclosed in the Filing 8-K.  The filing with the Bankruptcy Court and the attached financing syndication procedures are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

As used herein, the term “Noteholders” means holders of the Company’s 9.75% Senior Notes due 2020, and the term “Second Lien Lenders” means the lenders under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, as borrower, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, the lenders party thereto and the agents party thereto.
