DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
On April 6, 2021, Northern Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-255066) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering the resale, from time to time, by the selling securityholder named in the Registration Statement and by such selling securityholder’s permitted transferee identified as a selling securityholder in a prospectus supplement filed on May 22, 2022, of (i) warrants (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 3,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“common stock”), and (ii) 3,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Warrants. The Registration Statement was declared effective on April 15, 2021.
The Warrants were canceled in full effective June 23, 2022 and are no longer outstanding. Accordingly, the Company has no further obligation to maintain effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
