ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On February 2, 2012, Baron Energy, Inc. sold three convertible promissory notes,
in the principal amount of $33,333 each, to Roger A. Tichenor, Siesta Fiesta
Holdings, LLC, and Randall Oser, hereinafter each is referred to as a "Note" and
all three are collectively referred to as the "Notes."
Baron received aggregate gross cash proceeds of $99,999 bearing interest at 8%
per annum with a maturity date of February 2, 2013 ("Maturity Date"). Principal
and all accrued interest are due and payable on the Maturity Date.
Under the terms of the Notes, which were amended effective as of February 2,
2012, each Note holder may elect, at any time after 180 days from February 2,
2012, to convert the outstanding principal amount and unpaid interest thereon in
whole or in part into shares of Baron's common stock at higher of (1) 80% of the
average of the three lowest daily closing prices of our common stock during the
period beginning on the date Baron receives notice of the Note holders' election
to convert and ending on and including the date that is five trading days after
receipt of said notice (the "Market Price"); and (2) $0.005. In the event we are
in default under the Notes, the conversion rate per share is the higher of (i)
70% of the Market Price; and (ii) $0.004.
In the event we consummate an equity financing for the purpose of raising
capital, pursuant to which we sell shares of our common stock for an aggregate
gross sales price of not less than $1,000,000, a Note holder may elect to redeem
all but not less than all of the then outstanding principal amount, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, or continue to hold the Note until the Maturity Date or
conversion.
The Notes may be prepaid in whole at any time in our sole discretion upon five
days prior written notice to the holders of the Notes. We are subject to a
prepayment penalty of 110% of the outstanding principal balance plus any accrued
interest due as of the date of such prepayment. Furthermore, any prepayment of a
Note must be made in connection with the prepayment of all the Notes.
We must also pay the holders of the Notes 110% of the outstanding principal
balance plus any accrued interest if, prior to the Maturity Date, we: (a) merge
into another entity in which, after such merger holders of a majority of our
voting securities immediately prior to the merger do not hold a majority of the
voting securities of the successor entity or; (b) sell or convey all or
substantially all of our assets or common stock to any other person or entity
Proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to fund working capital
requirements.
ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.
The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is
incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is
incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
The offering of the Notes was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), but was made in reliance upon the exemptions
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section
4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, insofar as
such securities were issued only to an "accredited investor" within the meaning
of Rule 501 of Regulation D. The recipients of our securities took them for
investment purposes without a view to distribution. Furthermore, they had access
to information concerning us and our business prospects; there was no general
solicitation or advertising for the purchase of our securities; and the
securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144.
