Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Pursuant to the previously announced consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”), Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) solicited consents from holders of the Company’s 6.75% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) to amend the Indenture, dated as of February 16, 2017 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), governing the Notes to, among other things, modify certain restrictive covenants therein to exclude or otherwise permit a potential sale by the Company of all or substantially all of the oil and gas properties owned by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries located in the State of North Dakota (such amendments, collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”).

Based on the receipt of the requisite number of consents in the Consent Solicitation, on July 24, 2017, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee executed a supplemental indenture to the Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) with respect to the Proposed Amendments. The Supplemental Indenture became valid and binding upon execution, and the Proposed Amendments became effective following satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in the consent solicitation statement related to the Consent Solicitation, including payment of the related consent fee, which the Company paid on July 25, 2017.

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture and the Proposed Amendments therein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Supplemental Indenture, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
