~~99.1~~Amendment ~~Press~~to ~~Release~~Magnum ~~dated~~Hunter ~~June~~Employment Agreements 6,and ~~2005.~~Outside Director Policy

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 added new section 409A to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Section 409A, which became effective January 1, 2005, provides in part that a key employee (as defined in the Code) of a public company will be subject to additional taxes and penalties if certain payments are made to the key employee earlier than six (6) months after the key employee ceases performing services.

On June 6, 2005, Magnum Hunter’s board of directors approved amendments (the “Employment Agreement Amendments”) to the employment agreements among Magnum Hunter and its affiliate Gruy Petroleum Management Co., a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magnum Hunter, and the following employees (the “Employment Agreements”):

i.		Richard R. Frazier
ii.		Charles R. Erwin
iii.		R. Douglas Cronk
iv.		M. Bradley Davis
v.		Morgan F. Johnston
vi.		David Krueger

vii.		Earl Krieg, Jr.
viii.		Richard S. Farrell
ix.		Howard M. Tate
x.		Gregory L. Jessup
xi.		David M. Keglovits
xii.		Donald Sabathier
xiii.		H. C. Lee
xiv.		Bill L. Irwin
xv.		Dan P. Emmer
xvi.		Frances P. Evans
xvii.		Gary Evans
xviii.		Mark Wolf

The changes included in the Employment Agreement Amendments are intended to enable the Employment Agreements to comply with Code section 409A. Specifically, the Employment Agreement Amendments amend the provisions of the Agreement relating to the events upon which certain payments will be made under the Employment Agreements with the intent of making the payments in a manner that will not trigger the additional taxes and penalties under Code section 409A

Also on June 6, 2005, Magnum Hunter’s board of directors approved an amendment (the “Policy Amendment”) to Magnum Hunter’s Outside Director Policy (the “Policy”). The changes to the Policy included in the Policy Amendment are intended to enable the Policy to comply with Code section 409A. Specifically, because it is not clear whether all of the persons who may receive payments under the Policy are not “key employees,” the Policy Amendment amends the provisions of the Policy relating to the events upon which certain payments will be made under the Policy with the intent of making the payments in a manner that will not trigger the additional taxes and penalties under Code section 409A.

A form of the Employment Agreement Amendments is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Policy Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5.01 CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT

On June 7, 2005, Cimarex and Magnum Hunter issued a joint press release announcing the closing of the merger of Cimarex Nevada Acquisition Co. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cimarex, with and into Magnum Hunter. Magnum Hunter is the surviving entity of the merger continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Cimarex. The combined organization will be headquartered in Denver, Colorado. As a result of the merger, each outstanding share of Magnum Hunter common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.415 shares of Cimarex common stock. Cimarex will issue approximately 39.5 million common shares to Magnum Hunter stockholders and will then have approximately 81.3 million shares outstanding. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The terms of the merger were described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus of Cimarex and Magnum Hunter included as part of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-123019) filed by Cimarex with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2005, as supplemented on May 3, 2005 (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). A copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 25, 2005, among Cimarex, Merger Sub and Magnum Hunter, as amended on February 18, 2005 and April 20, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”), has been filed as Annex A to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
