| Amendment Description | As reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Chord Energy Corporation (the “Company”) on July 7, 2022 (the “Original Form 8-K”), on July 1, 2022, the Company completed a “merger of equals” with Whiting Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Whiting”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 7, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Whiting, Ohm Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and New Ohm LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“LLC Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Whiting, with Whiting surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Company Merger”). Immediately following the Company Merger, Whiting merged with and into LLC Sub, with LLC Sub continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “LLC Sub Merger” and together with the Company Merger, the “Merger”). This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Original Form 8-K to provide the historical and pro forma financial statements described in Item 9.01 below. No other modifications to the Original Form 8-K are being made by this Amendment. This Amendment should be read in connection with the Original Form 8-K, which provides a more complete description of the Merger. |
