On March 7, 2018, Mr. Eric G. Takaha, a member of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Halcón Resources Corporation (the “Company”) and also serving as a member on the Audit Committee of the Board, notified the Board that he was resigning effective March 15, 2018, in order to join a not-for-profit healthcare organization in a full-time investment role.  Mr. Takaha’s decision to resign is solely due to personal reasons and not the result of a disagreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

The Board has not decided whether to fill the vacant director’s seat at this time.  The Company expects that an additional director will be named to the Audit Committee of the Board before Mr. Takaha’s resignation becomes effective.
