ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed in its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, during October and November 2012, Gulf United Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) effected a private offering pursuant to which it sold to certain accredited investors (collectively the “Investors”) secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and one-year warrants to purchase shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Warrants”). The Company and each of the Investors entered into a purchase agreement (each a “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Notes and Warrants were sold.

On January 18, 2013, the Company and the Investors entered into an amendment to the original Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment to Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Investors agreed to invest an additional $185,000 pursuant to amended and restated 16% secured convertible promissory notes (the “Amended and Restated Notes”). The Amended and Restated Notes also provide for a reduction in the conversion price of the original Notes from $0.0667 per share to $0.00436 per share, and delete the provisions relating to the mandatory conversion of outstanding principal and interest upon the occurrence of certain conditions precedent. The Amended and Restated Notes continue to be secured by the Company’s equity interest in Gulf United Energy de Colombia, Ltd., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary that holds the Company’s interests in CPO-4 block in Colombia, and Gulf United Energy Cuenca Trujillo Ltd., which holds the Company’s interests in block Z-46. Except for the reduction in the conversion price and the removal of provisions relating to a mandatory conversion of outstanding principal and interest, the terms of the Amended and Restated Notes are identical to the terms of the original Notes. The proceeds from the financing will be used for general working capital purposes.

As additional consideration for the funding of the additional $185,000, the Company also agreed to amend the original Warrants, pursuant to a warrant amendment (the “Amendment to Warrant”), to extend the expiration date of the original Warrants to October 29, 2017. Additionally, the Company issued to the Investors new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 148,482,274 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The New Warrants expire on October 29, 2017.

The Company also entered into an amendment to the original registration rights agreement (the “Amendment to Registration Rights Agreements”). Under the Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares underlying the Amended and Restated Notes, the original Warrants (as amended), and the New Warrants on a piggyback basis. If, after April 25, 2013, the Company has not filed a resale registration statement covering the registrable securities on a piggyback basis, then the investors will have the right to cause the Company to file the resale registration statement on a demand basis (such date of demand being the “Demand Date”). Such registration must be filed within 120 days from the Demand Date. If the registration statement registering the resale of the registrable securities has not been declared effective within 180 days following the Demand Date, then the Company will be required to issue to the investors, pro rata, an amount of shares of common stock equal to one percent per share of common stock issued (partial or full, as applicable) upon conversion of the Notes and/or exercise of the Warrants per month, for each calendar month (prorated for any period less than 30 days) (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”); subject to maximum fee of two-times of the Liquidated Damages Amount.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment to Purchase Agreement, Amended and Restated Notes, Amendment to Warrant, New Warrants, and Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (collectively the “Transaction Documents”) do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of the Transaction Documents attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 10.1 and 10.2, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The offer and sale of the Amended and Restated Notes and New Warrants described above were made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D under the Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The sale of the Company’s common stock did not involve any public offering; each investor made representations regarding its investment intent, experience and sophistication; each investor either received or had access to adequate information about us in order to make an informed investment decision. Having received representations to this effect, we believe that each investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D; and no advertising or general solicitation was made in connection with the sale and issuance of the Company’s common stock.
