Explanatory Note

As set forth below, as a result of the transactions described herein, on November 22, 2022 each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Shares. The filing of this Amendment No. 4 (as defined below) represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Except as provided herein, all items of the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.

 

Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

Item 1 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment No. 4) is being filed jointly, pursuant to a Joint Filing Agreement, dated February 7, 2022, attached as Exhibit 99.1 and further amends and restates (where indicated) the Schedule 13D initially filed with the SEC on February 9, 2022 (Initial Schedule 13D) (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on February 14, 2022, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on June 15, 2022, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed on October 19, 2022 and as further amended hereby, the Schedule 13D), and relates to the beneficial ownership by the individuals (in their individual capacity and/or as trustee or co-trustee of the Trusts) (each, a Reporting Person and collectively, the Reporting Persons) of the shares of common stock registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), par value $0.01 per share (the Shares), of Continental Resources, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the Issuer), the address of which is 20 N. Broadway, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 73102. This Amendment No. 4 does not constitute an admission that the changes reported herein are material or that this Amendment No. 4 is required to be filed.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended by appending the following information:

The aggregate consideration paid by Merger Sub in the Offer and the Merger to purchase all outstanding Shares (other than the Shares already owned by the Hamm Family), was approximately $4.2 billion. The Issuer provided Merger Sub with the necessary funds to fund the Offer and the Merger from its cash on hand, availability under its revolving credit agreement and borrowing capacity under the unsecured Term Loan Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2022 (the Term Loan Agreement), by and among the Issuer, as borrower, MUFG Bank, Ltd., as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders named therein (the Term Loan Facility), pursuant to which the Issuer has a borrowing capacity of $750 million. The Term Loan Credit Facility has a maturity date in November 2025. The Issuers obligations under the Term Loan Credit Facility are guaranteed by its subsidiaries Banner Pipeline Company, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company, The Mineral Resources Company, an Oklahoma corporation, CLR Asset Holdings, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company, SCS1 Holdings LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company, Continental Innovations LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company, Jagged Peak Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Parsley SoDe Water LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

The foregoing description of the Term Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment No. 4 and incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended by inserting the following information at the end of Item 4:

Consummation of the Tender Offer and the Merger

On October 16, 2022, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), with Omega Acquisition, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (Merger Sub) incorporated by Harold G. Hamm (the Founder). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub commenced a tender offer (the Offer) to acquire all of the outstanding Shares, other than: (i) Shares owned by Mr. Hamm, certain of his family members and their affiliated entities (collectively, the Hamm Family) and (ii) shares underlying unvested equity awards issued pursuant to the Issuers long-term incentive plans (collectively, Rollover Shares) for $74.28 per Share (the Offer Price), in cash, without interest and subject to deduction for any required withholding taxes.

The Offer expired at one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 21, 2022. American Stock Transfer & Trust Co., LLC, in its capacity as depositary for the Offer, advised that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 36,312,840 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 62.5% of the outstanding Shares other than Rollover Shares. In addition, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered for 3,443,485 Shares, representing approximately 5.9% of the outstanding Shares other than Rollover Shares. Each condition to the Offer was satisfied or waived, and, on November 22, 2022, Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn.

On November 22, 2022, immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, the Founder contributed 100% of the capital stock of Merger Sub to the Issuer. In addition, following consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger (the Merger). The Merger was completed pursuant to Section 1081.H of the General Corporation Act of the State of Oklahoma (the OGCA), with no vote of the Issuers shareholders required to consummate the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each issued and outstanding Share (other than (i) the Rollover Shares; (ii) Shares owned by the Issuer as treasury stock or owned by any wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, including Shares irrevocably accepted by Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer; and (iii) Shares held by a holder who is entitled to demand and properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 1091 of the OGCA), was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest and subject to any required tax withholding.

Also at the Effective Time: (i) the Rollover Shares owned by the Hamm Family and outstanding prior to the Effective Time were converted into an identical number of newly issued shares of the Issuer, as the surviving corporation, having identical rights to the previously existing Shares held by such holder, and such converted shares of the surviving corporation were the only capital stock of the surviving corporation outstanding immediately following the Merger; and (ii) the Rollover Shares underlying each unvested restricted stock award (Company RS Award) were replaced with a restricted stock unit award covering the same number of shares of the Issuer, as the surviving corporation, as the number of Shares covered by the Company RS Award immediately prior to the Effective Time that provides the holder of such canceled restricted stock award with the right to receive, for each share of common stock of the surviving corporation, upon vesting of such restricted stock unit, and at the surviving corporations sole discretion, a share of the surviving corporation, cash in a substantially equivalent amount, or any combination of the two, in each case, together with any unpaid dividends accrued on such restricted stock award.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Issuer: (i) notified the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) of the consummation of the Merger; and (ii) requested that the NYSE (x) suspend trading of the Shares on the morning of November 23, 2022, prior to market open, and (y) file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Additionally, the Company intends to file with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting that the Companys reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended, at the time such filing is permitted under SEC rules.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Amendment No. 4 and incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

(c)

(d)

Not applicable.

(e)

On November 22, 2022, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Shares.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 and Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 of this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated by reference herein.
