Item 7.01.
Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
Pioneer Natural Resources Company (the “Company”) entered into a Rights Agreement dated as of July 20, 2001 (as amended, the "Rights Agreement"), and on July 19, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company. Each Right is attached to a share of the Company’s common stock and will become exercisable only if a person or group acquires 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock or announces a tender or exchange offer that would result in ownership of 20% or more of the Company’s voting stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement, the Rights will expire on July 31, 2011, unless extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed by the Company.
 
It is the current intent of the Board of Directors not to renew or extend the Rights Agreement, and thus to permit the Rights to expire by their terms on July 31, 2011.
