| Amendment Description | As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 22, 2022, Continental Resources, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“Continental,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) completed a series of transactions with Omega Acquisition, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation incorporated by Harold G. Hamm (such transactions, the “Offer and the Merger”). Following the consummation of the Offer and the Merger on November 22, 2022, Continental’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange, and Continental has deregistered its Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and has suspended its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. We are filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to our original Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2023 (the “Original 2022 10-K”), for the sole purpose of including information required in Part III of Form 10-K, which information was previously omitted from the Original 2022 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K. In addition to including the information required in Part III of Form 10-K, this Amendment No. 1 also provides updated officer certifications in Item 15 of Part IV as required by Rule 13a-14(a) under the Exchange Act. The information in this Amendment No. 1 is supplemental to and does not otherwise update any other information provided in the Original 2022 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect non-compensation related events that may have occurred subsequent to the filing date of the Original 2022 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original 2022 10-K have not been revised to reflect events, results, or developments that have occurred or facts that have become known to us after the date of the Original 2022 10-K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original 2022 10-K. | |
