Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Amendment to Merger Agreement
 
On September 17, 2014, Dune Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: DUNR), a Delaware corporation (“Dune”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as subsequently amended, the “Merger Agreement”), with Eos Petro, Inc. (OTCBB: EOPT), a Nevada corporation (“Eos”), and Eos Merger Sub. Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Eos (“Purchaser”).
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and on the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, Purchaser agreed to conduct a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of Dune’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), at a price of $0.30 per Share in cash, without interest, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Offer Price”).
 
On January 15, 2015, Eos and Dune executed a fourth amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”) to extend the expiration date of the Offer to midnight, New York City Time, on Friday, January 23, 2015.
 
As of January 16, 2015 Dune and Eos are in the process of negotiating potential revised terms for the Merger Agreement upon which the merger and Offer could still be completed.  Such revised terms may include, but are not limited to, revising the $0.30 per share price for the shares of Dune common stock tendered for purchase in the Offer.  If the parties are able to agree on revised terms, the parties will announce such terms and, if there are less than ten business days left before the expiration of the Offer, extend the Offer so that Dune’s shareholders have a minimum of ten business days to consider such revised terms.  However, there is no assurance that the parties will be able to agree on revised terms.
 
The forgoing description of the Merger Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the original Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Eos’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 18, 2014; the Letter Agreement amendment to the Merger Agreement dated November 20, 2014, which was attached as Exhibit 2.2 to Eos’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 21, 2014;  a third amendment to the Merger Agreement dated December 23, 2014, which was attached as Exhibit 2.3 to Eos’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 23, 2014; and the Amendment, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. The forgoing description is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about Eos in its public reports filed with the SEC and it is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, disclosures regarding any facts and circumstances relating to Dune, Eos or Purchaser. In particular, the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement (a) were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement and solely for the benefit of the contracting parties, (b) may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made to Eos and Purchaser in connection with the Merger Agreement, (c) will not survive consummation of the transactions contemplated therein, (d) are qualified in certain circumstances by a materiality standard which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (e) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement, and (f) may have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement, and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the parties. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in subsequent public disclosure.
