Exhibit 1
HAROLD HAMM FAMILY LLC
DIVIDEND AND DISSOLUTION AGREEMENT
This Harold Hamm Family LLC Dividend and Dissolution Agreement (referred to as the “Dividend Agreement”) is entered into as of the 7th day of February, 2022 by all Members of the Harold Hamm Family LLC (referred to as the “Company”), and whose signatures appear on the signature pages to this Dividend Agreement. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning given to them in the Company’s Operating Agreement.
RECITALS: Hamm Family Members own all of the Units in the Company, while the Company owns CLR Stock and Non-CLR Assets. The Members have decided that they would prefer to directly own and control their CLR Stock. The purpose of this Dividend Agreement is for the Members to memorialize their agreement to distribute the CLR Stock of the Company to the Members and then liquidate the Company and surrender their Units in exchange for their respective Percentage Interests in the Non-CLR Assets owned by the Company. Such distribution shall occur in the form of a dividend of an equal amount for each Unit of Membership Interest in the Company, as reflected on Exhibit A. Now, therefore, it is agreed as follows:
1. Distribution of CLR Stock. Pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Operating Agreement, distributions may only be made in such amounts and on such terms as determined by the Manager. Each Member, by signing this Dividend Agreement, does hereby consent to the distribution of all of the Company’s CLR Stock to its Members. Section 4.4 of the Operating Agreement requires that any distribution of CLR Stock be made in accordance with the Unit Percentages of the Members. However, shares of CLR Stock must be issued on a whole share basis; fractional shares are not permitted. Thus, the distribution of the CLR Stock will be issued to the Members on a whole share basis in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit A.
2. Agreement to Liquidate the Company. Each Member, by signing this Agreement, does hereby consent, pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Operating Agreement, to the liquidation of the Company on the terms set forth in this Dividend Agreement.
3. Authority of Manager. Pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Operating Agreement, the Manager has full and complete authority to liquidate the Company’s assets and liabilities in whatever manner he deems appropriate.
4. Surrender and Extinguishment of Units by Members in Exchange for the Receipt of Non-CLR Company Assets. When a Member executes this Dividend Agreement, that Member shall contemporaneously execute the Assignment of Units, in the form as set forth on Exhibit B, pursuant to which that Member, as of February 7, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), will assign that Member’s Units to the Company. In exchange for these Assignments by Members of their Units, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, deliver to each Member that Member’s share, based upon that Member’s Percentage Interest, of all Non-CLR Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that the Company may retain Non-CLR Assets to provide a reserve for future liabilities and expenses that the Company may incur in connection with its liquidation and dissolution. The Manager shall cause all remaining Non-CLR assets to be distributed to the Members at such time as the Manager has determined that all such liabilities and expenses of liquidation and dissolution have been paid or provided for.
