Nature of Business

Continental Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in 1967 and is incorporated under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. The Company’s principal business is the exploration, development, management, and production of crude oil and natural gas and associated products with properties primarily located in four leading basins in the United States – the Bakken field of North Dakota and Montana, the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma, the Permian Basin of Texas, and the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. In the first quarter of 2026 the Company expanded its operations internationally via the acquisition of assets within the Vaca Muerta shale play in Argentina's Neuquén Basin. As of March 31, 2026 our activities in Argentina have no production or revenues and represent an immaterial portion of our consolidated assets. Additionally, the Company pursues the acquisition and management of perpetually owned minerals in its key operating areas as well as opportunities to participate and contribute in the growing power generation sector such as the new venture described in Note 10. Equity Investment. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, crude oil accounted for 50% of the Company’s total production and 78% of its crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids revenues.

Voluntary Filer

The Company is privately owned by its founder, Harold G. Hamm, certain members of his family and their affiliated entities (the “Hamm Family”). As of March 31, 2026, the Hamm Family holds approximately 299.6 million shares of common stock of the Company. As a privately held company, certain of the corporate governance, disclosure, and other provisions applicable to a company with listed equity securities and reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 do not apply to us. We continue to furnish Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K with the SEC as required by our senior note indentures.
