Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 10, 2014, GulfSlope Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a farm out letter agreement with Texas South Energy, Inc. (“Texas South”), relating to five prospects (the “Prospects”) located within 2.2 million acres of 3D seismic licensed and interpreted by the Company. The Company intends to acquire oil & gas leases covering these Prospects.
Under the terms of the farm-out letter agreement, Texas South will acquire up to a 20% working interest in the Prospects for up to $10 million, payable in full by April 11, 2014. Texas South has also agreed to pay its proportionate share of the net rental costs related to the Prospects. The Company is obligated to refund all or a portion of the $10 million if it is unsuccessful in obtaining some or all of the leases comprising the Prospects and unable to substitute prospects of similar value as mutually agreed. The Company will be the operator of record and has the right to negotiate all future joint operating agreements related to the Potential Leases, including the Prospects. James M. Askew, a director and beneficial owner of 8.8% of the common stock of the Company, is the chief executive officer, director, and beneficial holder of greater than 10% of the common stock of Texas South.
