Item 1.01 Private Placements of Debenture Units Completed and Debentures Converted into Common Shares
Victory Energy Corporation initiated the private placement of convertible debenture units on September 15, 2010 and has been using it as a capital source since that time. The Board of Directors had previously extended the time frame and financial value of such funds to be raised.
The private placement offering program ended on January 31, 2012 and raised a total of $5,777,275 in principal since inception. Of that total, $1,830,000 was subscribed in January 2012. The Company has now completed the process of accounting for the funds raised and issuing investor documentation.
During 2011, about twenty (20) per cent of the total funds ultimately raised were converted from debt to shares. All holders of the remaining debenture units have agreed that effective February 29, 2012, all debentures and any associated interest are to be converted into common shares. Thus, on March 1, 2012 Victory Energy has no debt on its balance sheet.
With accrued interest, the total debt converted to shares during 2011 and 2012 totaled $6,024,509. Such shares have a trading restriction of six months from the initial date each investor acquired the original convertible debenture security.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Company issued a press release on March 6, 2012 announcing the conversion of the debentures to equity. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
