Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On February 29, 2012, Halcon Resources Corporation (“Halcón”) entered into definitive agreements with certain institutional accredited investors to sell, in a private offering, 4,444.4511 shares of 8% automatically convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “preferred stock”), each share of which will be convertible into 10,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (or a proportionate number of shares of common stock with respect to any fractional shares of preferred stock issued) (the “common stock”), for anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $400.0 million, or $9.00 per share of common stock. We expect the closing of the sale of preferred stock to occur on or about March 5, 2012. We expect to incur placement agent fees of approximately $14.0 million and associated expenses of approximately $425,000 in connection with this private offering.

The preferred stock was offered and will be sold pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided in Regulation D, Rule 506, under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The preferred stock was offered (i) to institutional “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), who either (a) are “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (b) own and invest on a discretionary basis, for their own accounts or the accounts of others, an amount of securities equal to at least $25 million (calculated in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144A) and (ii) to certain other accredited investors specifically approved by Halcón and the placement agents.

Each share of preferred stock will be convertible into a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the liquidation preference of the preferred stock, which is equal to the liquidation price plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of conversion, by the conversion price. No dividend will be paid on the preferred stock if it converts into common stock on or before May 31, 2012. Accordingly, until such date each share of preferred stock will automatically convert into 10,000 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $9.00 per share of common stock and each fractional share of preferred stock will be initially convertible into a proportionate number of shares of common stock. The preferred stock will convert automatically on the 20th calendar day after Halcón mails a definitive information statement to its common stockholders notifying them that Halcón’s majority common stockholder has consented to the issuance of common stock upon conversion of the preferred stock. The initial conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including stock splits, stock dividends, rights offerings, or combinations of Halcón common stock.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
