ITEM 5.03. AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.
HKN, Inc. has filed an amendment to its restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, which amendment has become effective on June 6, 2007.
The amendment to Article One of the restated certificate of incorporation effected the change of the Company’s corporate name from “Harken Energy Corporation” to “HKN, Inc.”
The amendment to Article Four of the restated certificate of incorporation effected a one-for-twenty-two and four-tenths reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, although the authorized number of shares of common stock (325 million shares) and par value ($0.01 per share) remain the same. By virtue of the reverse split, the total number of outstanding shares has been reduced from approximately 220.4 million to approximately 9.8 million.
These changes were approved by the Company’s stockholders at their annual meeting held on June 4, 2007.
