Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to amend the following Items of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Armada Oil, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Armada,” “we” or “us”) on March 29, 2013 (the “Original 8-K”), as set forth in their entirety below: Item 5.01; Item 5.03. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original 8-K.

 

 

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant

 

The disclosure in Item 2.01 above is incorporated into this Item by reference. As a result of the distribution of the Acquisition Consideration, the pre-Acquisition stockholders of Mesa and Armada will hold approximately 62.4% and 37.6%, respectively, of the total issued and outstanding shares of Armada common stock after the closing of the Acquisition and the distribution of the Acquisition Consideration.

 

As a result of the distribution of the Acquisition Consideration, Randy M. Griffin, Mesa’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, will beneficially own approximately 8.7% of the outstanding common stock of Armada, Ray L. Unruh, Mesa’s President, Secretary and Director, will beneficially own approximately 5.9% of the outstanding common stock of Armada, David L. Freeman, Mesa’s Executive Vice President – Oil and Gas Operations, will beneficially own approximately 6.1% of the outstanding common stock of Armada, and Mesa’s directors and executive officers as a group will beneficially own approximately 24.9% of the outstanding common stock of Armada.

 

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

On March 28, 2013, Armada’s Board of Directors amended and restated its By-Laws in their entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit 3.1 filed with this Report.

 

On March 28, 2013, Armada’s Board of Directors changed Armada’s fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31 of each year beginning with its 2013 fiscal year. Because the Acquisition is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby Mesa will be deemed the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes, in accordance with guidance of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, no transition period report is required to be filed by Armada. The pre-closing financial results of Armada for the period from January 1, 2013, through March 27, 2013 (the day before the closing of the Acquisition) will be presented in a pro forma footnote to the financial statements to be contained in Armada’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as if the Acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2013, and the financial results of Armada for the period from January 1, 2012, through March 31, 2012, will be presented in a pro forma footnote to those financial statements as if the Acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2012.
