ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
On July 15, 2014, PEDEVCO CORP. (the “Company”) issued 22,500 shares of restricted common stock of the Company to a financial advisor as compensation for financial advisory services to be provided by the advisor to the Company. In addition, on May 21, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 18,676 shares of restricted common stock of the Company to three (3) former members of the Company’s board of directors in full satisfaction of an aggregate of $125,500 of accrued and unpaid director fees due to them for services rendered prior to December 31, 2012. Furthermore, during June and July 2014, holders of seven (7) of the Company’s Secured Promissory Notes, originally issued by the Company on March 22, 2013, as amended on December 16, 2013 and March 7, 2014 (the “Bridge Notes”), exercised their option to convert a portion or all of their Bridge Notes to common stock of the Company. The Company issued an aggregate of 1,166,565 shares of common stock of the Company to holders of Bridge Notes upon conversion of an aggregate of $1,751,549.33 in principal, accrued interest, and payment-in-kind outstanding under such Bridge Notes (the “Note Conversions”). The Bridge Notes were converted pursuant to the terms of that certain Second Amendment to Secured Promissory Notes, dated March 7, 2014 (the “Second Amendment”), as more fully-described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2014. Following the Note Conversions an aggregate principal amount of $875,000 of the original $4 million principal amount of the Bridge Notes remains issued and outstanding, of which $625,000 of aggregate principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest and payment-in-kind, is convertible into common stock of the Company pursuant to their terms.
These issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2), Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients took the securities for investment and not resale, we took appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and each recipient was (a) an “accredited investor”; (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Act; and/or (c) was a non-U.S. person. Additionally, the Note Conversions were exempt from registration pursuant to an exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Act as the shares of common stock issued in connection with such Note Conversion were exchanged by the Company with its existing security holders (the Bridge Note holders) exclusively where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.
ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
On July 21, 2014, the Company issued a press release confirming its plans to commence its initial drilling operations in mid-August 2014 with the planned drilling and completion of 3 horizontal wells from a single pad, with each well receiving an 18 stage enhanced frac treatment with lateral lengths between 4,000 and 4,500 feet, and with completion and initial results expected to be available in mid-October 2014, as well as the Company’s reduction of approximately $1.87 million in debt outstanding under promissory notes and former director fees through their conversion into common stock of the Company (as described above under Item 3.02).

The furnishing of this Report is not intended to constitute a determination by the Company that the information is material or that the dissemination of the information is required by Regulation FD.
