ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On February 14, 2013, PEDEVCO CORP. (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, Pacific Energy Development Corp. (“PEDCO”), entered into a Secured Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Note”) with MIE Jurassic Energy Corporation (“MIEJ”), with an effective date of November 1, 2012. Under the Note, PEDCO may draw down multiple advances up to a maximum of $5 million outstanding principal under the Note, with repaid amounts not being permitted to be re-borrowed. Amounts borrowed under the Note may be used by PEDCO to fund fees and expenses allocable to PEDCO with respect to its operations in the Niobrara asset located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado (the “Niobrara Asset”). When drawn, principal borrowed under the Note carries an interest rate of 10.0% per annum. Principal and accrued interest under the Note shall be due and payable within ten (10) business days of the earlier to occur of (i) December 31, 2013 or (ii) the closing of a debt or equity financing transaction with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10 million. The Note may be prepaid in full by the Company without penalty, and is secured by all of PEDCO’s ownership and working interest in the FFT2H well located in the Niobrara Asset, and all corresponding leasehold rights pooled with respect to such well, and PEDCO’s ownership and working interest in each future well drilled and completed in the Niobrara Asset.
The Note documents prior amounts previously advanced by MIEJ to PEDCO in the amount of $2.17 million to fund operations in the Niobrara Asset through November 1, 2012, as well as an additional $2 million loaned by MIEJ to PEDCO under the Note on February 14, 2013, for a total current principal amount outstanding under the Note of $4.17 million.
MIEJ is a subsidiary of MIE Holdings Corporation (“MIE”), and a joint venture partner with the Company in Condor Energy Technology LLC and White Hawk Petroleum, LLC. MIE is also the beneficial holder of approximately 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock.
The foregoing description of the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
