Section 1-Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 6, 2013, New Western Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into definitive agreements for a private offering (the “Offering”) with Hillair Capital Investments LP (“Hillair” and/or “Investor”), of the Company’s securities for total gross proceeds of $1,100,000.  The securities are being sold pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by and among the Company and the Investor (the “Agreement”) and consists of (i) 8% original issue discount senior secured convertible promissory debentures in the issuance amount of $1,232,000 (the “Debentures”) and (ii) warrants to purchase approximately 5,319,516 million shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), which are exercisable at $0.2316 per share (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”).  The Offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis.  The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for drilling and rework of oil and gas wells and general working capital.  The Agreement contained certain customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Company expects the offering to close on or before November 15, 2013 (the “Closing”)

   
 

The Debentures will be issued with principal amount equal to 112% of the gross proceeds and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to maturity at $0.193 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to certain conversion limitations set forth in the Debentures.  The Company shall pay interest on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of the Debenture at the rate of 8% per annum, payable quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, beginning on May 1, 2014.  Interest is payable in cash or at the Company’s option in shares of Common Stock, provided certain conditions are met, based on a share value equal to the lesser of (a) 90% of the average of the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) for the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable interest payment date and (b) 100% of the average of the VWAP for the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable interest payment date less $0.01.  On each of May 1, 2014, August 1, 2014, November 1, 2014, and February 1, 2015, the Company is obligated to redeem an amount equal to $308,000 (plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing in respect of the Debentures) (collectively, the “Periodic Redemption Amount”).  In lieu of a cash redemption and subject to the Company meeting certain equity conditions described in the Debentures, the Company may elect to pay the Periodic Redemption Amount in shares based on a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) $0.193 per share, subject to adjustments upon certain events, and (b) 90% of the average of the VWAP for the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable redemption date. Upon any Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture), the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, plus liquidated damages and interest, shall become, at the Investors’ election, immediately due and payable in cash.  Commencing five days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest rate on the Debentures shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.  At any time after the 6 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may prepay any portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Debentures, plus liquidated damages, interest, a premium of 20% and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the applicable date of optional redemption, subject to notice to the Investor.  The Debentures contain customary affirmative and negative covenants of the Company.  The Conversion Price is subject to “full ratchet” and other customary anti-dilution protections.  The Warrants are exercisable for a period of three years and are subject to “weighted average” and other customary anti-dilution protections.

 

The Company engaged a placement agent with respect to the Offering.  The Company will pay the placement agent upon receipt of the gross proceeds at the Closing, a commission of $95,000 plus 250,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock

 

All of the securities issued in connection with the Offering are “restricted securities,” and as such are subject to all applicable restrictions on transfer specified by federal and state securities laws.

 

As collateral security for all of the Company’s obligations under the Agreement and related documents executed in connection with the Offering, the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), will grant the Investor a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s and Subsidiaries assets pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2013 (the “Security Agreement”).  To further secure the Company's obligations, the Subsidiaries also executed a Guarantee, dated as of November 6, 2013 (the “Guaranty”), pursuant to which the Subsidiaries have agreed to guaranty the Company’s obligations owed to the Investor.

 

All of the foregoing securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and involved transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.  This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

   
 

The foregoing description of the Debentures, the Warrants, the Agreement and the Security Agreement and the Guarantee does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report and are incorporated herein by reference.
