Item 1.01                   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 16, 2018, Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the Sixth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) which provided for, among other things, provisions allowing for optional increases in the Maximum Credit Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) by the Company and the lenders that are party thereto.  The Amendment also sets forth that the borrowing base shall be $350 million following the closing of the sale of the Company’s water infrastructure assets; however, the Company and the lenders have agreed to reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to $275 million, thereby effectively limiting the amount the Company may borrow under the Credit Agreement to $275 million as previously disclosed by the Company.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Amendment. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
