ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
As previously reported in the Form 8-K filed on September 4, 2013 (the "Prior Form 8-K") by Lucas Energy, Inc. ("Lucas" or the "Company"), on September 3, 2013, the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 2,950,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) at $1.17 per Share in a registered direct offering of the Shares to certain institutional investors (the “Offering”). Euro Pacific Capital, Inc. (the “Agent”) served as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering.
On September 6, 2013, the Offering closed, and the Company subsequently received an aggregate of $3,451,500 in gross funding and a net of approximately $3,167,955 in proceeds after the deduction of approximately $90,000 in expenses and $193,545 in placement agent fees associated with the Offering.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds to pay down expenses related to drilling, lease operating, and workover activities and for general corporate purposes, including general and administrative expenses.
The offer and sale of the Shares was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-188663), which was declared effective by the Commission on May 24, 2013 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), and a prospectus supplement thereto, describing the terms of the Offering, which was filed with the SEC on September 6, 2013 (the “Prospectus Supplement”).
More information on the Offering, the Shares, the Placement Agency Agreement with the Agent, as well as copies of the Form of Subscription Agreement and Placement Agency Agreement associated with the Offering can be found in the Prior Form 8-K filing and investors are encouraged to review such Prior Form 8-K filing and the Prospectus Supplement for more information on the Offering.
