Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 5, 2015, we and our subsidiary Torchlight Energy, Inc. entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with Husky Ventures, Inc., our operator in the Hunton Project, to sell our interests in the Chisholm Trail assets, which is one of our six AMI’s with Husky. Under the PSA, Torchlight will transfer its interests in Chisholm Trail assets to Husky in exchange for the cancellation of our entire liability to Husky on joint interest billings in the approximate amount of $2.9 million. The agreement was executed with the intention of Husky including the Torchlight interests in producing properties and undeveloped acreage in Chisholm Trail as part of the Husky sale to Gastar Exploration Inc.—on October 14, 2015, Husky entered into an agreement to sell Husky’s Chisholm Trail working interests to Gastar with an expected closing date of November 30, 2015. Torchlight will then participate in the proceeds of Husky’s sale to Gastar in accordance with the terms of the PSA. Alternatively, if the Gastar transaction does not close, Torchlight and Husky will work to locate a different purchaser, and Torchlight will participate in the proceeds of any other sale of the Chisholm Trail assets if Husky effects such sale within one year from October 31, 2015. Regardless of whether Husky effects a sale to Gastar or any other party, the liability to Husky on joint interest billings will remain extinguished, under the terms of the PSA.
The projected total proceeds from the sale attributable to the Torchlight interests is approximately $4.6 million from which our outstanding joint interest billing account payable of approximately $2.9 million will be paid in full to the operator with the remaining balance of the proceeds, estimated to be $1.4 million after expenses in connection with the transaction, to be received by us in cash.
