Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On June 12, 2018, Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into two independent, separately negotiated exchange agreements with holders of the Company’s 8.00% senior notes due 2020 (the “Notes”).
Pursuant to the first agreement, the Company agreed to issue 6,530,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in exchange for $18,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Subject to certain exceptions, the holder agreed to lock-up restrictions on these shares for approximately seven months. If at the end of the lock-up period the ten-day average closing price of the Common Stock is below a certain price, the Company will be required to issue additional shares of Common Stock to the holder. The initial shares of Common Stock are expected to be issued on June 18, 2018.
Pursuant to the second agreement, the Company agreed to issue an amount of shares of Common Stock with an agreed-upon value of $2,950,000 in exchange for $2,950,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The actual number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the exchange will be based on the volume-weighted average price per share of the Common Stock over a specified period. The shares of Common Stock are expected to be delivered on June 28, 2018.
The issuance of the shares of Common Stock in exchange for the Notes is being made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
