Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 26, 2013, BlueFire Renewables, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice that the Orange County Superior Court (the “Court”) issued a Minute Order (the “Order”) in connection with certain shareholders’ claims of breach of contract and declaratory relief related to 5,740,741 warrants (the “Warrants”) issued by the Company. Pursuant to the Order, the Court ruled in favor of the shareholders on the two claims, finding that the Warrants contain certain anti-dilution protective provisions which provide for the re-adjustment of the exercise price of such Warrants upon certain events and that such exercise price per share of the Warrants must be decreased to $0.00. No final judgment has been entered. The Company is currently reviewing the Order and exploring all of its options including an appeal, if necessary.
