Item 8.01.                                        Other Events.

On January 27, 2016, GeoMet, Inc. (the “Company,” “GeoMet,” “our,” “we,” “us” or similar terms) issued a press release announcing that the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or before January 29, 2016 a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or Suspension of Duty to File Reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act on Form 15. The Company is filing the Form 15 to terminate the registration under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company is also filing the Form 15 to notify the SEC of the suspension of the Company’s periodic reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

After such filing, the Company is not obligated to and will not file current and periodic reports with the SEC for its current fiscal year and does not expect to be obligated to do so for any subsequent fiscal year. Further, after such filing, the Company is not obligated to and will not file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for its previous fiscal year, which ended December 31, 2015.

Although the Company will no longer be filing current and periodic reports with the SEC, after filing the Form 15, the Company may elect to continue to provide information concerning any material developments with respect to any significant transactions for disposing of the Company’s remaining assets, any significant developments in claims, litigation, investigations and any other future events that could materially impact the timing or amount of liquidating distributions, if any, to be made to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the effective date of the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of State, either by press release or other means. However, there is no guaranty that we will do so or that we will continue to provide such information in the future.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act—that is, statements related to future, not past, events. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and include any statement that does not directly relate to a current or historical fact. In this context, forward-looking statements address the anticipated filing of the Company’s Form 15, the Company’s Exchange Act reporting obligations and the Company’s future press releases or updates by other means concerning material developments of the Company, and often contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “will” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that ultimately may not prove to be accurate. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. For further discussion of risks and uncertainties, individuals should refer to the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than as required by law. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
