ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On June
22, 2017, PEDEVCO Corp. (the “
Company
”,
“
we
”,
“
us
” or
“
PEDEVCO
”) terminated its
pending merger with GOM Holdings, LLC (“
GOM
”), in order to pursue
an alternative transaction with a Hong Kong-based investor group as
contemplated pursuant to a non-binding term sheet entered into by
the Company and the investor group, which term sheet includes
a binding 90-day no-shop period
expiring in late August 2017, during which time the Company is
prohibited from discussing or pursuing the merger with GOM while
the parties conduct in-depth due diligence on one another, prepare
definitive documentation, and move to closing,
as further
described in the Company’s press release issued on June 22,
2017. The merger with GOM was originally contemplated by that
certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the
“
GOM Merger
Agreement
”) with White Hawk Energy, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company (“
Merger
Sub
”), and GOM, dated December 29, 2015, as amended to
date. The Company has no further obligations or termination
liabilities due or owing to GOM under the GOM Merger Agreement as a
result of the termination of the transactions contemplated
thereunder.
ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
The Company
issued a press release on June
22, 2017 announcing the Company’s entry into a certain
non-binding letter of intent contemplating the restructuring of the
Company’s senior debt and substantial equity investment by a
Hong Kong-based investor group
.
A copy of the
press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated by reference herein. The letter of intent is
non-binding as to the transactions contemplated in the letter of
intent and there can be no assurance that such transactions will be
completed on favorable terms, if at all. Additionally, the
transactions contemplated in the letter of intent, if consummated,
may result in significant dilution to existing
shareholders.
In
accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the
information presented herein under Item 7.01 and set forth in the
attached Exhibit 99.1 is deemed to be “furnished” and
shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such
information and Exhibit be deemed incorporated by reference into
any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended.
