<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On April&nbsp;17, 2019, Halc&#243;n Resources Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), entered into an agreement (the &#147;Settlement Agreement&#148;) with Fir Tree Capital Management LP (&#147;Fir Tree&#148;).</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company increased the size of the Board of Directors of the Company (the &#147;Board&#148;) from seven to eight members and appointed Carin M. Barth to serve as a Class&nbsp;A director with a term expiring at the Company&#146;s annual meeting of the stockholders in 2020 (the &#147;2020 Annual Meeting&#148;) or until her earlier resignation or removal.&#160; Fir Tree has agreed to vote all of the shares of common stock of the Company beneficially owned by it or its affiliates in favor of the re-election of the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;C directors at the 2019 annual meeting of the stockholders and otherwise in accordance with the Board&#146;s recommendation on routine matters.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company also agreed that the Board will work in good faith to, as soon as practicable but in any case prior to July&nbsp;15, 2019, identify and appoint an additional director who qualifies as independent under the rules&nbsp;of the Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Stock Exchange and is reasonably acceptable to Fir Tree.&#160; This additional director would be assigned to serve as a Class&nbsp;A director.&#160; If an additional director has not been appointed by July&nbsp;15, 2019, Fir Tree shall have the right to nominate a candidate (who meets the independence requirements set out above) reasonably acceptable to the Board, to be appointed within 30 days.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Settlement Agreement includes certain restrictions, applicable from April&nbsp;17, 2019 until the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the first day of the time period established pursuant to the Company&#146;s bylaws for stockholders to deliver notice to the Company of director nominations to be brought before the 2020 Annual Meeting, and (ii)&nbsp;the consummation of a business combination, liquidation or similarly extraordinary transaction (the &#147;Standstill Period&#148;).
