Material changes versus the prior comparable period
This filing does not present comparative financial statements or period-over-period operating results. The material change reported is the sale of existing Class A shares by Hess Investments North Dakota LLC and GIP II Blue Holding, L.P. Because the shares were sold by existing holders, the Company did not receive proceeds and the filing does not indicate that new shares were issued by the Company.
