Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On August 28, 2008, Bonanza Oil & Gas, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investor (the “Bridge Investors”) providing for the sale by the Company to the Bridge Investors of its 12% promissory notes in the principal aggregate amount of $500,000 (the "Bridge Notes"). In addition to the Bridge Notes, the Bridge Investors also received 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company for every $100,000 invested resulting in the aggregate issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The closing occurred on August 28, 2008.
The Bridge Notes mature on the earlier of 30 days from closing or upon closing of a private placement by the Company (the "Maturity Date"). Interest associated with the Bridge Notes is 12% per annum, payable on the Maturity Date. The Company is required to issue an additional 25,000 shares to the Bridge Investors for each $100,000 invested every 30 days that any amounts remain outstanding on the Bridge Notes. An entity beneficially owned and controlled by G. Wade Stubblefield, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and Secretary, invested $50,000 in this bridge financing.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, the Bridge Investors are accredited investors, the Bridge Investors had access to information about the Company and its investment, the Bridge Investors took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
