SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On June 14, 2013, Hinto Energy, Inc. ("the Company") and S&L Energy, Inc. ("S&L") entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("the Agreement."). As part of the Agreement, the Company acquired all right and title to oil and gas leases for a total of 722 gross acres in the Musselshell County, Montana. The property includes 120 acres for all zones other than the 1st Cat Creek. The 1st Cat Creek formation on the 120 acres was previously acquired from Jake Oil LLC. In exchange for such oil and gas leases, the Company plans to pay $101,100 in a combination of cash and stock, as follows: - $65,000.00 in cash; and - $36,100.00 payable in restricted common stock valued at $0.58 per share (2/3 of the June 4, 2013 closing price of $0.87) for a total of 62,242 shares. In addition, the Company has a thirty day option to purchase other oil and gas leases in the Musselshell Field from S & L Energy for a price of $60 per acre. The properties are located in the Mason Lake field in Central Montana in the Amsden (Alaska Bench) Formation which is late Mississippian to Early Pennsylvanian in age. The Amsden formation is a series of sandstone, shale and limestone, which was deposited under marine conditions in the Paleozoic Era.
