Explanatory Note

 

Helmerich & Payne, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A to amend Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 9, 2018 (the “Original 8-K).

 

ITEM 7.01                                  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

 

On January 9, 2018, a slide deck was used for presentations to investors and analysts and was attached to the Original 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.  The sixth slide inadvertently misstated the Company’s global rig fleet at September 30, 2017 as 386 rigs.  The presentation is being corrected to state the total rig fleet at 396 rigs in the sixth slide, as well as other minor modifications in other slides.  The Company is furnishing the entire slide deck, including the modified slides, as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

 

This information is not “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing made pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The furnishing of these slides is not intended to constitute a representation that such information is required by Regulation FD or that the materials they contain include material information that is not otherwise publicly available.
