Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Viking Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2018, the Company previously entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) to acquire oil and gas leases and related assets in Texas and Louisiana for an estimated purchase price of approximately $100,000,000. The Acquisition Agreement contemplated a closing deadline (“Closing Deadline”) of October 31, 2018, and the Company paid a $3,500,000 deposit (the “Deposit”).

 

The parties to the Acquisition Agreement are currently negotiating an amendment to the Acquisition Agreement extending the Closing Deadline to December 31, 2018, but there is no guarantee that an amendment will be finalized or executed. As the sellers were not able to secure, through no fault of the Company, all of the consents of third parties necessary for the Company to be able proceed with closing the transaction by the Closing Deadline, if an amendment extending the Closing Deadline is not executed, the Company anticipates receiving a return of the Deposit pursuant to the terms of the original Acquisition Agreement.  

 

The information contained in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under Section 18 and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
