Item 1.01        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 31, 2014, Lilis Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Debenture Conversion Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and all of the holders of the Company’s 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”).  The terms of the Agreement call for an immediate conversion of $9 million of the approximately $15.6 million in outstanding Debentures.  The balance of $6.6 million may, at the option of the Debenture holders, be converted subject to receipt of shareholder approval as required by the Company’s listing with NASDAQ. The holders of any remaining Debentures may elect to convert all or any portion of the remaining Debentures outstanding within three business days of shareholder approval.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Debentures will be converted at a price of $2.00 per share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”), which is the reset conversion price following the Company's private placement that was previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2014.  In addition, the Company will issue warrants to the Debenture holders to purchase one share of Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to $2.50 per share (the “Warrants”), equal to the number of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Debenture holder’s conversion elections.  The shares underlying the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

Each Warrant has a three (3) year term. The Warrants are not exercisable for six months following their issuance. At any time following the issuance of the Warrants, the Company may force the exercise of the Warrants provided the shares underlying the Warrants are registered and the Common Stock has traded at or above $10.00 per share for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days with a minimum daily average volume of 100,000 shares for such twenty (20) days. Only once the Company has given the Warrant holders twenty (20) trading days notice and there is an effective registration statement in place, will the Company have the right to force the exercise, in part or in full, of the Warrants.

The Company paid T.R. Winston & Company, LLC a five percent (5%) fee on the conversion of the Debentures, payable in Common Stock at a price of $2.00 per share.

In connection with the foregoing, the Company relied upon the exemption from securities registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for transactions not involving a public offering.
 
The foregoing description of the terms of the Agreement and the Warrants are not complete and are subject in their entirety by reference to the terms of the Agreement and the Warrants, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 4.1 hereto.
