Item 7.01. Regulation F-D Disclosure
On August 4, 2009, we issued a press release announcing that we completed the transaction with Dune Energy, Inc. previously announced on May 12, 2009. We have re-purchased and retired $7.895 million principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, of our 8% Secured Debentures held by Dune (including release of related collateral rights), acquired Dune’s interest in producing wells and certain leasehold rights in the Bayou Couba field, assumed operations of the Bayou Couba field and settled outstanding issues between the companies. In exchange, we assigned to Dune a portion of certain deep leasehold rights held by us and paid Dune $1.3 million with $1 million paid at closing and an additional $300,000 to be paid in quarterly installments commencing 90 days after resuming operations of the field. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
