Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 6, 2009 Recovery Energy, Inc. acquired 100% ownership of three producing wells on a 160-acre lease in Rush Willadel Field in Washington County, Colorado.  The purchase price paid at closing consisted of $750,000 in cash and 250,000 shares of common stock.  The seller has the option to cause Recovery to purchase the 250,000 shares for $750,000 in cash on December 15, 2009.  Simultaneously, Recovery sold a 50% to an unrelated third party for $750,000 in cash.  Under the terms of that transaction, Recovery has an option to purchase the 50% ownership interest in the three wells back from the third party for $825,000 in cash by notice no later than January 6, 2010.  The purchaser of the 50% interest also has the right to require Recovery to repurchase the interest for $825,000 by notice no later than January 6, 2010.  The two agreements contain other provisions that are customary for agreements of this nature, such as representations and warranties.  The initial purchase agreement is filed as exhibit 10.1 and the purchase and sale agreement with the imbedded option to re-purchase the remaining 50% is filed as exhibit 10.2.  The press release announcing the transaction is filed as exhibit 99.1.
 
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The disclosure under the first paragraph of Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.02               Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Issuance of the 250,000 shares issued in connection with the transaction described in Item 1.01 was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.  The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the sale, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these shareholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.
