Item 1.01                                           Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 27, 2013, ZaZa Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Sanchez Agreement”) with SN Marquis, LLC, a subsidiary of Sanchez Energy, to sell approximately 10,300 net acres of the Company’s properties in the Eagle Ford trend located in Fayette, Gonzalez and Lavaca Counties, Texas, which we refer to as our Moulton properties, including seven producing wells located on the Moulton properties, for approximately $28.8 million in cash.  The Sanchez Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants of the parties, customary closing conditions, and customary closing price adjustments.  The closing of the sale of the Moulton properties pursuant to the Sanchez Agreement is expected to occur on or before July 31, 2013 and is subject to normal closing conditions.  There can be no assurance that this transaction will be consummated.

In connection with the signing of the Sanchez Agreement, on June 28, 2013, Sanchez Energy Corporation made a cash deposit equal to five percent of the purchase price, or approximately $1.4 million.
