Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 24, 2011, Forbes Energy Services, or the Company, and certain of its subsidiaries executed a purchase agreement with an initial purchaser, which provides for the sale by the Company of $280,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 9% Senior Notes due 2019, or the New Notes, to the initial purchaser in a private placement in reliance on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. It is contemplated that each of the Company’s current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, other than immaterial subsidiaries, or the Guarantors, will guarantee the New Notes on a senior unsecured basis.

The initial purchaser is offering the New Notes to “qualified institutional buyers,” under Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to other eligible purchasers outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The purchase agreement provides that the New Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture, to be dated as of the date of closing, which we expect to be on or about June 7, 2011, by and among the Company, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors also agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchaser. The closing of the offering of the New Notes is subject to the closing of the pending tender offer, or the Offer, and related consent solicitation, or the Consent Solicitation, by the Company’s subsidiaries, Forbes Energy Services LLC and Forbes Energy Capital Inc., together, the Issuers, for the Issuers’ $192,500,000 aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2015, or the Existing Notes. Additionally, the purchase agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, customary conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

The Company expects the net proceeds from the offering of the New Notes will be approximately $272.7 million, after the initial purchaser discount and related offering expenses. The Company intends to use these proceeds (i) to purchase the Existing Notes tendered by noteholders in the Offer and to pay the related consent fee pursuant to the Consent Solicitation for the Existing Notes, or to purchase any Existing Notes not tendered in a subsequent transaction, (ii) to repurchase its First Priority Floating Rate Notes due 2014, (iii) for general corporate purposes and (iv) to pay related fees and expenses.

This does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes. The issuance of the New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and the New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or available exemption from such registration requirements.
