Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement
On February 14, 2018, in connection with the closing of the Permian Basin Acquisition, as described in Item 2.01 below, Oasis Petroleum Inc. (the “Company”) and Forge Energy, LLC (“Forge”) entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) providing Forge with certain customary registration rights with respect to its shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Forge is entitled to certain customary demand registration, shelf takedown and piggyback registration rights with respect to its shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain customary limitations (including with respect to minimum offering size and maximum number of demands and underwritten shelf takedowns).
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Permian Basin Acquisition
As previously disclosed on December 11, 2017, the Company and Oasis Petroleum Permian LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Purchase and Sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Forge, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Forge leasehold interests and related assets in the Permian Basin (the “Permian Basin Acquisition”). On February 14, 2018, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the Permian Basin Acquisition for aggregate consideration consisting of $549.8 million in cash, inclusive of the $47.3 million deposit paid in December 2017, and 46 million shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchase Price”). The incremental consideration reflects consideration for additional net mineral acres and post effective date adjustments. Upon closing of the Permian Basin Acquisition, the Company has approximately 22,000 net acres in the Delaware Basin.
The Company funded the cash portion of the Purchase Price of the Permian Basin Acquisition with proceeds from the Company’s December 2017 issuance of its common stock and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 11, 2017, and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The issuance of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in connection with the transactions described in Items 1.01 and 2.01 above were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder. The Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement were issued to Forge.
The disclosures regarding the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby under Items 1.01 and 2.01 above are incorporated herein by reference.
