SECTION 8.  OTHER EVENTS

Item 8.01.  Other Events

Ante5, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) is making a private placement of its common stock to raise capital to complete the closing of its pending purchase of oil and gas leases under its Asset Purchase Agreement with Twin City Technical, LLC and Irish Oil and Gas, Inc., dated October 7, 2010 (the “APA”).  The capital will also be used to fund our participation in the development of the oil and gas reserves anticipated from the oil and gas properties being acquired under the APA, and perhaps to acquire additional acreage.  Accordingly, proceeds from the capital raise will be used to launch the Company into the North Dakota oil business, focusing on obtaining and exploiting leases in the Williston Basin, primarily targeting the Bakken and Three Forks formations.  The priv ate placement is being made only to prospective investors already identified with whom we have a pre-existing business relationship pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In our private placement, we are offering up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock for a purchase price of $1.00 per share, seeking to raise from $6 million to $10 million (with a 1 million share over allotment option).  The APA provides for a cash payment at closing of approximately $2.9 million.  The closing is currently scheduled for November 13, 2010.  The capital raise is moving rapidly and, as of the date of this Report, we have hard commitment indications for $2.6 million of investments and strong indications for additional investment bringing the total to more than $6 million.  Currently we plan to continue to raise capital in our private placement if we close our purchase of oil and gas properties under the APA, until we achieve the maximum capitalization of $10 million, or we termin ate the offering with less capital.  While we are confident that we will close our pending acquisition under the APA and raise sufficient capital to acquire and develop those oil and gas properties in the Williston Basin in North Dakota, there is no assurance regarding the accomplishment of those goals.  Furthermore, we may modify the terms of our private placement.
