CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

Item 3.02.  
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

From September 17 - 23, 2013, IZEA, Inc. entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with certain investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we privately placed $695,000 units (the “Units”), at a price of $25,000 per Unit (the “Private Placement”), paid in cash. Each Unit consisted of 100,000 shares of our common stock (“Common Stock”), together with two warrants (“Warrants”). The Warrants were composed of one Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share and another Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, in each case exercisable for cash at any time during the five years following the date of issuance. As a result of the Private Placement, we issued 2,780,000 shares of our common stock and issued fully-exercisable warrants to purchase up to additional 2,780,000 shares of our common stock. This completes the sale of our securities through this Private Placement. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for purposes of registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock and the shares underlying the Warrants within four months after the final closing date (by January 23, 2014) and use our commercially reasonable efforts to have it declared effective no later than six months after the final closing date (by March 23, 2014).

The sale of these Units, combined with our previously sold Units in the Private Placement, as reported in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 21, 2013 and August 30, 2013, resulted in the conversion of promissory notes and accrued interest thereon totaling $1,376,618 into Units on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to other Investors in the Private Placement and provided a total of $2,182,500 in cash proceeds before expenses. These proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes. Our total number of outstanding shares of common stock after the issuance of shares in the Private Placement is 21,512,453 shares.
