Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On June 18, 2013, Recovery Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors named therein (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell to the Investors (the “Offering”) $2,200,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8% Senior Secured 2014 Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Debentures are being offered on terms substantially identical to the $13.4 million in the Company’s debentures currently outstanding, including a current conversion price of $4.25 per common share. As previously disclosed, the participants in the Offering, as well as additional investors who currently hold the Company’s convertible debentures, will have the opportunity to purchase additional convertible debentures up to a total amount of $5 million, subject to board approval.
 
The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be approximately $2,200,000. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund a portion of the drilling program on its Wattenberg properties in Weld County, Colorado, where it is targeting the Niobrara and Codell horizons, and conventional drilling on its properties in Laramie County, Wyoming, as well as for general corporate purposes.
 
The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, including an agreement by the Company to indemnify the Investors against certain liabilities.
