Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

 

On July 27, 2016, Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries listed on Exhibit 99.1 hereto (such subsidiaries, together with the Company, the “Debtors”), which is incorporated herein by reference, filed voluntary petitions for relief (collectively, the “Petitions” and, the cases commenced thereby, the “Bankruptcy Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).  The Debtors have filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to jointly administer the Bankruptcy Cases under the caption In re Halcón Resources Corporation, et al. The Bankruptcy Cases were filed in order to effect the Debtors’ previously disclosed pre-packaged plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). A copy of the Plan and related Disclosure Statement were furnished as part of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 20, 2016.  The Plan was voted on and accepted by a majority of those voting in each voting class of claims of the Company’s creditors under the Plan, holding 99.35% of those voting of the 13.0% 3rd Lien Notes due 2022 (the “Third Lien Notes”), 97.97% of those voting of its three tranches of senior unsecured notes comprised of its 9.75% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “9.75% Notes”), its 8.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “8.875% Notes”), and its 9.25% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “9.25% Notes”) and 100% of its 8.0% Convertible Note due 2020 (the “Convertible Note”), and 99.3% of the those voting of the aggregate face value of the Company’s 5.75% Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, which satisfies the Bankruptcy Code voting requirements for confirmation of the Plan.

 

No trustee has been appointed and the Company will continue to operate itself and its subsidiaries as “debtors in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  To assure ordinary course operations, the Company is seeking approval from the Bankruptcy Court for a variety of “first day” motions, including authority to maintain bank accounts and other customary relief. Subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, the Company also expects to enter into an agreement for up to $600 million in senior secured debtor-in-possession financing.

 

Item 2.04  Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

 

The commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases constitutes an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations under the following debt instruments (collectively, the “Debt Documents”).  Any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Debt Documents are automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Petitions and the holders’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Debt Documents are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
