Item 1.01               Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 22, 2010, Voyager Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) received aggregate commitments for a $15,000,000 loan (the “Loan”) in the form of 12.00% Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) provided by certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) for the purpose of financing future drilling and development activities.

 

Proceeds from the Notes will be used primarily to fund developmental drilling on the Company’s significant acreage positions targeting the Denver-Julesberg Basin Niobrara formation through its joint venture with Slawson Exploration and the Williston Basin Bakken/Three Forks.

 

The Loan bears interest at the rate of 12.00% per annum and is payable monthly beginning on October 1, 2010.  All principal will be due and payable on the ultimate maturity date of the Loan.

 

Pursuant to the Loan, the Investors will also have a first priority security interest on all of the Company’s assets, on a pari passu basis with each other.

 

The Notes mature one year from their date of issuance, with an optional one-year extended term and will be subject to the usual and customary financial covenants.

 

The Company may pre-pay the Notes at a price of one hundred two percent (102%) of face value during the initial twelve months, and may pre-pay the Notes at any time without penalty during the extended term.

 

The Notes yielded cash proceeds of $14,775,000 net of fees.  The Company paid a success fee equal to one percent (1.0%) of the proceeds raised from the Loan to unrelated finders.

 

Item 2.02               Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On September 22, 2010 the Company provided an operations update related to drilling and completion activity in its Williston Basin Bakken and Three Forks, D-J Basin Niobrara and Tiger Ridge prospects.

 

D-J Basin Niobrara

 

The Company is participating on a heads-up basis for a 50% working interest in Slawson Exploration’s (“Slawson”) 48,000 core net acre position in Weld County, Colorado and Laramie County, Wyoming.  Slawson has drilled to total depth the first two gross wells targeting the Niobrara formation and a third well is currently drilling.  These initial test wells are the first of up to 60 gross wells planned over the next 24 months in the drilling program.  By the end of 2010, the Company expects to have spud 5 gross (2.5 net) Niobrara wells.  Fracture stimulation and production results on the wells are expected in the fourth quarter of 2010.
