The information set forth under Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Amended Plan Sponsorship Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on November 8, 2009, Teton Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Teton” or the “Company”) and each of its affiliated entities, Teton North America LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“TNA”), Teton Piceance LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“TP”), Teton DJ LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“TDJ”), Teton Williston LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“TW”), Teton Big Horn LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“TBH”), Teton ORRI, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“TORRI”), and Teton DJCO LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Teton DJ” and collectively with TNA, TP, TDJ, TW, and TORRI, the “Subsidiaries,” and together with Teton, the “Debtors” ) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (Case No. 09-13946 et seq.) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Chapter 11 Cases have been jointly administered.

On November 9, 2009, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court their Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, which was amended on December 9, 2009 and January 14, 2010 (as the same may be further supplemented or amended, the “Plan”). A confirmation hearing was held before the Bankruptcy Court on January 15, 2010 and January 20, 2010, and on January 20, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered a Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order Confirming Debtors’ Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization and Granting Related Relief (the “Confirmation Order”) approving and confirming the Plan. A copy of the Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and the Confirmation Order are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 99.1, respectively.

On January 22, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective, after each of the conditions precedent to consummation of the Plan enumerated in Article VIII of the Plan were satisfied or waived. The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan, as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

The Plan was consummated pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended Plan Sponsorship Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between Caerus Oil and Gas LLC (“Caerus”) and the Debtors, dated effective as of December 15, 2009, pursuant to which Caerus agreed to fund the Plan by tendering the following consideration: (i) $20,050,000 in cash (including $750,000 from the application of the deposit), plus or minus any Post-Closing Reconciliation adjustment as described in the Agreement; (ii) a contractual participation right to 50% of the net profits (net of the costs for acquisition, exploration, development, operation and maintenance) of Teton DJCO, as reorganized, or a newly formed entity, owned directly or indirectly by Caerus, holding the WashCo Assets, pursuant to the terms of a contractual net profits agreement; and (iii) a contractual participation right to 50% of the net profits (net of the costs for acquisition, exploration, development, operation and maintenance) of TBH, as reorganized, or a newly formed entity, owned directly or indirectly by Caerus, holding the Big Horn Assets, pursuant to the terms of a contractual net profits agreement.

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, among other things, (i) Teton converted its corporate form from that of a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company and was re-named “Teton Energy LLC;” (ii) Caerus acquired 100% of the membership interests in Teton, as reorganized; (iii) all assets held by the Debtors immediately before the Effective Date were re-vested in the pre-petition owners of those same assets, as reorganized Debtors, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and other interest; (iv) all equity interests in the Company, including but not limited to any outstanding common stock and preferred stock, were cancelled; (v) all claims of the holders of the Company’s 10.75% Secured Convertible Debentures and the Indenture Trustee were cancelled, released and discharged; and (vi) the Caerus’ Plan Funding Obligation was received and distributed pursuant to the Plan and the Agreement.

Other than Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims (collectively, the “Unclassified Claims”), which were paid in full under the Plan, the claims and interests in the Debtors were divided into nine classes under the Plan:

· Class 1 consists of Other Priority Claims, the holders of which were entitled to receive (i) Cash equal to the unpaid portion of the Face Amount of such Allowed Other Priority Claim, or (ii) such other treatment as to which such holder and Reorganized Teton shall have agreed upon in writing.

· Class 2 consists of Other Secured Claims, the holders of which were entitled to receive (i) Cash equal to the value of its Allowed Other Secured Claim, (ii) a return of the holder's collateral securing the Other Secured Claim, or (iii) such other treatment as to which such holder and Reorganized Teton shall have agreed upon in writing.

· Class 3 consists of Prepetition Secured Lender Claims, the holders of which were entitled to receive in full satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for all Prepetition Secured Lender Claims against the Debtors, that portion of the Auction Proceeds as set forth in Article V.E.2(a) of the Plan, but in no event less than the sum of $18,150,000 (subject to reduction pursuant to the Post-Closing Reconciliation adjustment) unless consented to in writing by the Prepetition Agent; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Auction Proceeds distributed to the Prepetition Agent for the benefit of the holders of Prepetition Secured Lender Claims shall be limited to the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness.

· Class 4 consists of DIP Loan Claims, the holders of which were entitled to be paid in full in Cash on the Effective Date.

· Class 5 consists of General Unsecured Claims, the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims were entitled to receive a Pro Rata share of the General Unsecured Claim and Debenture Claim Consideration, subject to adjustment as set forth in Article V.E.2(b) of the Plan. In addition, any Excess Auction Proceeds after satisfaction in full of the holders of Allowed Convertible Debenture Claims will be distributed Pro Rata to the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims until paid in full.

· Class 6 consists of Convertible Debenture Claims, the holders of which were entitled to receive a Pro Rata share of the General Unsecured Claim and Debenture Claim Consideration, subject to adjustment as set forth in Article V.E.2(b) of the Plan. In addition, any Excess Auction Proceeds will be distributed Pro Rata to the holders of Allowed Convertible Debenture Claims until such Claims are paid in full.

· Class 7 consists of Trade Claims, the holders of which were entitled to receive, in full satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for such Allowed Trade Claim, Cash equal to the amount of its Allowed Trade Claim (i) as paid pursuant to the Trade Claim Orders prior to the Effective Date of the Plan, and/or (ii) as paid pursuant to the Plan, which Plan distribution shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the later of the Effective Date, or (y) the date immediately following the date such Trade Claim becomes an Allowed Trade Claim.

· Class 8 consists of Interests in the Subsidiaries, and the holder of which, the Company, after conversion from a Delaware corporation into a Delaware limited liability company on the Effective Date, retained such Interests.

Immediately prior to the confirmation of the Plan, Teton had approximately 28.4 million shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share, issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. On the Effective Date, all equity interests of Teton, including but not limited to all outstanding shares of common stock, preferred stock, options, warrants or contractual or other rights to acquire any equity interests, were cancelled and extinguished.

In addition, on the Effective Date, the Company filed a cease trading request with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Accordingly, as of the Effective Date, Teton’s common stock has ceased trading and has been removed from the OTC quotation systems list.

Teton will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Teton’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will consequently be suspended.
