Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases were filed in order to effect the Debtors’ previously disclosed Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), the material terms of which were disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 5, 2019.

On September 24, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order, Docket No. 0321 (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan. A copy of the Confirmation Order, with a copy of the Plan as confirmed attached thereto, is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Debtors expect that the effective date of the Plan (as defined in the Plan, the “Effective Date”) will occur after all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied. Although the Debtors are targeting occurrence of the Effective Date as soon as reasonably practicable, the Debtors can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective. It is also possible that technical amendments could be made to the Plan prior to the Effective Date.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Date will be canceled and of no further force or effect after the Effective Date. As of August 5, 2019, the Company had 164,039,916 shares of common stock outstanding.

The organizational documents of the reorganized Company will become effective on the Effective Date, and will authorize the reorganized Company to issue shares of new common stock pursuant to the Plan, including to holders of existing shares of common stock, in the amounts, and on the terms, set forth therein.

Information regarding the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the most recent practicable date is hereby incorporated by reference to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2019.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 25, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of the Confirmation Order, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
