Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On April 29, 2011, Saratoga Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), issued to accredited investors an aggregate of 545,313 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 272,657 shares of Common Stock.  The shares and warrants were issued upon final closing of the private placement described in our Form 8-K/A filed April 28, 2011.  In total, the Company issued 2,481,316 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 1,240,658 shares of Common Stock for aggregate proceeds of $7,443,948.  The Warrants are exercisable for a period of two years at $5.00 per share.


In connection with the offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 84,600 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 42,300 shares of Common Stock to the placement agent of securities issued to non-U.S. investors.  No cash commissions were paid in connection with the offering.


Each investor represented to the Company that it was “accredited investor” and made other investment representations and agreed that the Common Stock and the Warrants shall bear a restrictive legend against resale in the U.S. or to U.S. residents without registration under the Securities Act.


The securities were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a transaction not involving a public offering of securities.  The securities were offered solely to a limited number of accredited investors without public solicitation and the securities issued in the offering are subject to resale restrictions, including the placement of restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing the Common Stock and Warrants.


This Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company.  No offer, solicitation or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
