The Company has 16,204,282 shares of common stock outstanding and is governed by a Board of Directors comprising of Richard Little, Halcón’s Chief Executive Officer, William Transier, who serves as Chairman of the Board, William Carapucci, David Chang, Scott Germann, Gregory Hinds and Allen Li.
Mr. Little commented, “I’m excited to announce our emergence from bankruptcy under Chapter 11. This has been the culmination of a lot of hard work from the entire team, including our legal and financial advisors. I especially want to thank our former board members for their role in making the financial restructuring a success. I am eager to begin working with our new board as we continue to implement a culture of capital discipline in the safe development of our asset base. We remain focused on creating value and enhancing the financial flexibility we have achieved in this process.”
