Item 1.01 — Entry into Material Definitive Agreement; and Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
On November 29, 2004, ATP Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company”) entered into separate subscription and registration rights agreements with individual investors for the sale of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock (“Common Stock”) at $14.00 per share through a private placement of unregistered securities. The subscription and registration rights agreements require the Company to cause a resale registration statement covering the Common Stock to be filed no later than 30 days after the closing of the transaction.
The Company completed the sale of the transaction on December 1, 2004 and received approximately $53.2 million in net proceeds after payment of $2.8 million in fees to the placement agent of the offering. An additional 435,857 shares of Common Stock were sold in the offering by Mr. T. Paul Bulmahn, president and chairman of the Company and such shares will also be included in the resale registration statement. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by Mr. Bulmahn.
The securities were sold to accredited investors in a private placement transaction and were therefore exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of the Securities Act. The securities sold in the offering have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
