On November 24, 2012 (the “Resignation Date”), Scott Mahoney resigned as the Chief Financial Officer of American Standard Energy Corp. (the “Company”). Such resignation was not the result of any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

On the Resignation Date, the Company and Mr. Mahoney entered into a Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the employment of Mr. Mahoney and amend certain severance terms of the Employment Agreement dated April 15, 2010. Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed to rescind the acceleration of the vesting of certain grants of founders shares on February 13, 2012 and originally issued pursuant to a Founders Shares Vesting Agreement dated April 15, 2010. The Company further agreed to provide Mr. Mahoney with the following compensation in connection with the Agreement:

The securities issued to Mr. Mahoney were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and all of the above referenced issuances qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The issuance was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved, 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, Mr. Mahoney represented that it had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since Mr. Mahoney agreed to and received securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 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 for the issuance of the securities to Mr. Mahoney.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains summaries of the material terms of various agreements executed in connection with the transactions described herein.  The summaries of these agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to these agreements, all of which are attached as exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein
