Item 8.01 Other Events.
In June 2012, the registrant was served with a complaint (Civil Action No. 12-CV-327-CVE-PJC) filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma by Cottonwood Natural Resources, Ltd. (“Cottonwood”). Cottonwood alleged breach of contract and fraud in connection with a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 19, 2012 between the registrant and Cottonwood (the “Cottonwood Purchase Agreement”) related to the purchase of certain oil and gas interests in approximately 14,640 acres in Finney County, Kansas (the “Finney Property”). Cottonwood filed the complaint after the registrant’s termination of the Cottonwood Purchase Agreement, which resulted from the registrant’s determination that Cottonwood had options to title to less than 12,908.46 net acres and had failed to disclose all material facts related to the Finney Property. Cottonwood sought damages of at least $4,324,180.
Effective May 31, 2013, the registrant transferred some of its non-producing leases covering lands in Sheridan County, Kansas, in which it has no intentions to drill, to Cottonwood to dispose of the lawsuit.
