This is a preliminary information statement (the "Information Statement") that is being filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Rule 14c-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Duma Energy Corp. intends to release a definitive information statement substantially in the form hereof to its shareholders on or about April 25, 2012.

April 12, 2012

To the Stockholders of Duma Energy Corp.:

Notice is hereby given to holders of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Duma Energy Corp. (the "Company"), a Nevada corporation, of record at the close of business on the record date, April 10, 2012, pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Information Statement is being furnished to such stockholders for the purpose of informing the stockholders in regards to the proposed amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation (the "Articles of Incorporation") to increase the Company's authorized capital stock from 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

Please note that this is not a request for your vote or a proxy statement, but rather an Information Statement designed to inform you of the amendments to our Articles of Incorporation.

We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT AND RELEVANT DATES

On April 6, 2012 our Board of Directors unanimously approved the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Amendment") to increase our authorized stock from 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 10, 2012 as the record date for the determination of stockholders who are entitled to receive this Information Statement. There were 10,789,703 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding on April 10, 2012.

Subsequent to our Board of Directors' approval of the amendment, on April 6, 2012, the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of our Company as of the record date provided written consent to the Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. We will not file the Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation until at least 20 days after the filing and mailing of this Information Statement in definitive form. We anticipate that the definitive Information Statement will be mailed on or about April 25, 2012 to all stockholders of record as of the record date, and that the definitive Information Statement will be filed with the SEC on the same date. We anticipate that the Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation will be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, and will become effective, on or about May 16, 2012.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by our Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our common stock held of record by them.

AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. On April 6, 2012, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized common stock to 500,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value.

As of the record date of April 10, 2012, we had 10,789,703 shares issued and outstanding. Stockholder approval for the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation was obtained by written consent of stockholders owning 5,900,998 shares of our common stock, which represented approximately 54.7% of our issued and outstanding common shares on the record date.

The proposed Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation are attached hereto as Schedule A. The Articles of Amendment will become effective when they are filed with the Nevada Secretary of State.

Reasons for the Increase in the Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock

The purpose of increasing the Company's authorized stock to 500,000,000 shares of common stock is to enable the Board of Directors to have additional shares of common stock available to effect transactions (including private placements) to raise capital for our Company. Our Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of our Company to increase its number of authorized shares of common stock for such purpose.

The Company effected a reverse stock split on a one-new share for 25-old shares basis (1:25) on April 4, 2012. The reverse split was effected pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.207, which does not require shareholder approval in connection with a forward or reverse stock split that is effected simultaneously with a forward or reverse split of the Company's authorized share capital on the same basis. As a result of the reverse split, the Company's authorized share capital decreased from 500,000,000 shares of common stock to 20,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company effected such reverse split in an effort to prevent further erosion of the Company's share price. However, given that the reverse stock split was effected by a method that required the simultaneous decrease in the Company's authorized share capital, the Company was left with a small number of authorized share capital which provides the Company with little flexibility in terms of being able to effect transactions to raise capital. For that reason, the Company is now seeking to restore its authorized share capital to approximately its pre-reverse split level.

The Company has no current plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any of the additional shares that will become authorized share capital of the Company pursuant to the proposed increase in authorized share capital described herein. However, opportunities for equity financings could arise at any time. If the Board of Directors deemed it to be in the best interests of our Company and the stockholders to issue additional shares of common stock in the future from authorized shares, the Board of Directors generally will not seek further authorization from the Company's stockholders, unless such authorization is otherwise required by law or regulations.

Impact of the Issuance on Existing Stockholders

Our existing common stockholders will have rights which are equal to those of the holders of any common stock which could be issued following the increase in authorized common stock. The increase in the

-3-

number of authorized shares of common stock, in and of itself, will not result in dilution. However, stockholders are subject to the risk of substantial dilution to their interests which would result if shares of common stock are issued, and as a result of any such issuance of common stock the current stockholders will own a smaller percentage of the Company's outstanding common stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Proposed Amendment

Although the Company has no present intention or plan to employ the additional unissued authorized shares as an anti-takeover device, it is possible that management could use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders. For example, shares of authorized and unissued common stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions that would discourage persons from attempting to gain control of the Company, by diluting the voting power of shares then outstanding. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with the Company's management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company's current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. Each of these could potentially limit the opportunity for the Company's stockholders to dispose of their stock at a premium.

The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and the proposed Articles of Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock is not being proposed with the intention that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device or to secure management's positions within the Company.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As of the record date, April 10, 2012, we had a total of 10,789,703 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, issued and outstanding.

The following table sets forth, as of the record date of April 10, 2012, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock and by each of our current directors and executive officers. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.
