ITEM 8.01              OTHER EVENTS

On September 20, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted stock ownership guidelines for its Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers and its non-management directors.  The Chief Executive Officer is expected to own Cimarex stock in an amount equal to five times his annual base salary, and each executive officer who reports to the Chief Executive Officer is expected to own stock in an amount equal to three times his annual base salary.  A newly appointed executive officer has three years from the date of his election to comply with the guidelines.  Each non-management director is expected to own Cimarex stock in an amount equal to three times his annual cash retainer, and directors have three years from the date of their initial election to comply.  Restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and deferred compensation units are counted in calculating ownership; options are not included.

Also, on September 20, the Board approved an amendment to Cimarex’s Corporate Governance Guidelines providing that a director who is the Chief Executive Officer should serve on the boards of no more than three public companies (including Cimarex), and all other directors should serve on the boards of no more than five public companies (including Cimarex).
