Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Notes Offering and Officer’s Certificate

On November 21, 2017, QEP Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) registered under the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-202686). The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $492.5 million after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use (i) approximately $134 million of the net proceeds from the offering to redeem its outstanding 6.80% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Redemption”) and (ii) the remainder of the net proceeds, together with cash on hand and, if necessary, borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, to fund the previously announced tender offers to purchase up to $361 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.80% Senior Notes due 2020 and 6.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (together, the “Target Notes”), subject to applicable priority levels and proration (the “Tender Offers”). If the aggregate principal amount of the Target Notes accepted for payment in the Tender Offers and the 6.80% Senior Notes due 2018 redeemed in connection with the Redemption is less than the net proceeds of offering, the Company expects to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment or redemption of outstanding indebtedness.

The terms of the Notes are governed by an Indenture dated as of March 1, 2012, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the Indenture), and an officer’s certificate setting forth the terms of the Notes, dated as of November 21, 2017 (the “Officer’s Certificate”).

The Notes mature on March 1, 2026. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2018 at the rate of 5.625% per year. The Notes are unsecured and rank equally with the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding and senior in right of payment to the Company’s subordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. If the Company experiences certain kinds of changes of control, it will offer to repurchase all of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. The Company may redeem the Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the Officer’s Certificate.

The Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.
