Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 20, 2020, Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with TRT Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and certain related entities and individuals named therein (collectively, the “TRT Holders”), which are considered by the Company to be related parties in accordance with the Company’s policy regarding the same.

The Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 22, 2019, as amended (the “Certificate of Designations”), contains limitations on the ability of the Company and holders of Preferred Stock to effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), if after a conversion a holder would beneficially own shares of common stock in excess of the “Conversion Cap,” as set forth therein. As of the date of the Exchange Agreement, the TRT Holders collectively beneficially owned a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Conversion Cap. The Exchange Agreement provides, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Designations, including the Conversion Cap, for the TRT Holders to be able to exchange shares of Preferred Stock for shares of Common Stock in the manner otherwise contemplated by the Certificate of Designations. As of the date hereof, the TRT Holders have not exchanged or converted any shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
