On June 12, 2025, Battalion Oil Corporation (the “Company”), filed its Ninth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “A&R Charter”), with the Delaware Secretary of State, pursuant to the approval of the holders of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock” and the holders thereof, the “Common Stockholders”), at the 2025 Annual Meeting (as defined below), to among other things:

This description of the A&R Restated Charter, which became effective upon filings, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The final results for each of the proposals voted upon by the Common Stockholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting are as follows:

Proposal 1 – Election of Directors

With respect to Proposal 1, the election of six nominees to serve as directors of the Company until the next annual meeting of stockholders, and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity, each of the six nominees for directors were elected as follows:

Proposal 2 – Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

Proposal 2, the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, was approved as follows:

2

Proposal 3 – Advisory Vote on the Frequency of the Executive Compensation Vote 

Proposal 3, a non-binding advisory vote on the stockholders’ preference as to how frequently the Company should seek future advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, was approved as follows:

Based upon the results of the stockholder vote on Proposal 3, the Company intends to submit to its stockholders a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation at its annual meeting every three (3) years until the next advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder voting on executive compensation.

Proposal No. 4 – Amended and Restated Charter 

With respect to Proposal 4, the approval of the A&R Charter, stockholders were presented with four (4) sub-proposals and had the opportunity to vote separately on each of the amendments contemplated thereby, each of which, if approved, would be included in the A&R Charter. The approval of the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by our disinterested stockholders (within the meaning of Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) (the “Disinterested Stockholders Vote”) was required to adopt to the amendments contemplated by each of Proposals 4(b) and 4(c).

The final results for each of the sub-proposals are as follows:

​

​

​

As a result of the approval of Proposals 4(a), 4(b), and 4(d), each of the amendments contemplated thereby were adopted and incorporated into the A&R Charter, as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Proposal 4(c), which provided for the adoption of a provision modifying the requirements to amend, revise, or otherwise alter the terms of preferred stock, including when set forth in a certificate of designations (the “Preferred Stock Voting Amendment”), did not receive the requisite Disinterested Stockholders Vote for approval, therefore the amendments contemplated by such proposal were not included in the A&R Charter.
