Item 8.01. Other Information.

As previously disclosed in Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Dune Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) on March 12, 2015 and in subsequent Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company thereafter, the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on March 8, 2015 seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered under the caption “In re Dune Energy, Inc., et al”, Case No. 15-10336 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

On July 21, 2015, the Debtors filed their monthly operating report for the month of June 2015 (the “Monthly Operating Report”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Monthly Operating Report

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers limited time periods, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter and otherwise different from those required in the Company’s periodic reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for a period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its report pursuant to the Exchange Act. Information set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are those involving future events and future results that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections, as well as the current beliefs and assumptions of the Company’s management. When used in this document, the words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “may”, “predict”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “target” and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this Current Report that are not statements of historical fact and other estimates, projections, future trends and the outcome of events that have not yet occurred referenced in this Form 8-K should be considered forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include extension of the debtor-in-possession financing until a closing of a sale of assets occurs pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; the Company’s ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Cases; the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to prosecute, develop and consummate one or more plan of liquidation with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases; Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases and the outcome of the cases in general; the length of time the Company will operate under the Chapter 11 Cases; risks associated with third party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases; the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 proceedings on the Company’s liquidity, results of operations or business prospects; increased legal costs related to the Chapter 11 Cases and other litigation; the Company’s ability to generate or raise cash and maintain a cash balance sufficient to maintain its assets during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases; the effects of the bankruptcy filing on the Company and its subsidiaries and the interests of various creditors, equity holders and


other constituents; the potential that the Company’s projects will experience technological and mechanical problems, geological conditions may not result in commercial levels of oil and gas production; changes in product prices and other risks disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and quarterly and current reports on Form 10-Q and 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
