ITEM 1.01—ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

In early 2010, we adopted the FX Energy executive royalty incentive plan (the “Royalty Plan”).  The Royalty Plan reflected our intent to transition from annual restricted stock awards as the sole form of long-term incentive compensation for our executives to a long-term incentive compensation plan where a significant portion of the compensation is based on increases in our oil and gas revenues.  The participants in the Royalty Plan are Zbigniew Tatys, Thomas B. Lovejoy, Jerzy B. Maciolek, David N. Pierce, Scott J. Duncan, Eva Sokolowski, Clay Newton, and Andrew W. Pierce.

Our Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, has adopted the 2011 Incentive Plan under which we, subject to stockholder approval, will be authorized to grant various equity and other incentives to our employees, including participants in the Royalty Plan.  The 2011 Incentive Plan is being submitted to our stockholders for approval at a special stockholders meeting to be held September 15, 2011.  Upon stockholder approval of the 2011 Incentive Plan, we propose to grant initial options thereunder prior to December 31, 2011, as an inducement to obtain the agreement of the participants to relinquish their interests in the Royalty Agreement held on their behalf by their designee.

On August 9, 2011, we entered into Relinquishment Agreements with each of the Royalty Plan participants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.100, under which each of such participants agreed to cancel, relinquish, and reconvey his or her interests in the Royalty Agreement effective automatically upon the approval of the 2011 Incentive Plan by the stockholders in the manner required by law and the grant of initial options under such 2011 Incentive Plan on or before December 31, 2011.  The description of the Relinquishment Agreement set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Relinquishment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.100 hereto and incorporated by reference.
