Item 1.01  Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 30, 2016 (the “Effective Time”), certain wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Sellers”) of Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement  (the “Assignment Agreement”) with an affiliate of Apollo Global Management (the “Buyer”) pursuant to which the Sellers assigned to Buyer, as of the Effective Time, one hundred percent (100%) of the common shares (the “Membership Interests”) of HK TMS LLC (“HK TMS”).  HK TMS was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and held all of the Company’s oil and gas properties in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale in Louisiana and Mississippi.  In exchange for the assignment of the Membership Interests, Buyer assumed all obligations relating to the Membership Interests of HK TMS from and after the Effective Time.  The Buyer, as holder of the preferred membership interests of HK TMS, had a cumulative preferred return due from HK TMS in excess of the fair market value of its assets.

 

As a result of the assignment, the Company has no further rights or material obligations related to HK TMS or the Buyer other than certain customary indemnities set forth in the Assignment Agreement.  The Company has also agreed to manage the operation of HK TMS’s oil and gas properties for a specified period of time for a monthly fee.  The Company has no right to or interest in any future production, income or proved reserves associated with HK TMS’s assets.  Accordingly, the $212.5 million of mezzanine equity reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 will no longer be reported on the Company’s balance sheet from September 30, 2016 and going forward.  HK TMS generated net production of approximately 530 Boe/d during the second quarter of 2016 and 1.1 MMBoe of proved reserves as of December 31, 2015 using SEC pricing as of such date.

 

The foregoing description of the Assignment Agreement is qualified by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
