Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. ("Bonanza Creek") is an oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of onshore oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas in the United States.

According to the Complaint, it is alleged that on December 11, 2017, in order to convince Bonanza Creek shareholders to vote in favor of the Proposed Merger, the Board authorized the filing of a materially incomplete and misleading Form S-4 Registration Statement (the “S-4”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The materially incomplete and misleading S-4 independently violates both Regulation G (17 C.F.R. § 244.100) and SEC Rule 14a-9 (17 C.F.R. 240.14a-9), each of which constitutes a violation of Section 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

On January 2, 2018, this case was voluntarily dismissed.
