Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated February 22, 2011 (the Purchase Agreement), by and between Petro Grande, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Petro Grande) and Blugrass Energy Inc. (the Company), the Company acquired an oil and gas lease covering 4,807 acres located in the Permian Basin in Crockett County, Texas.
Acquisition of the lease, representing an 87.5% working interest, includes full access to complete three-dimensional (3D) seismic imaging of the lands under lease. Acquisition of the lease also includes an option to participate as a working interest partner in drilling programs sponsored on an additional 9,850 acres. Located in close proximity to the Companys lease, this acreage has also benefited from complete 3D seismic imaging underwritten by Petro Grande, which holds the additional acreage.
Closing of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the Transaction) was completed as of February 23, 2011.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Petro Grande (i) shares of Company common stock comprising approximately 77% of the Companys outstanding shares plus (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $3.5 million.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the officers and directors of the Company prior to the Transaction resigned, after having elected Abram Janz and Laurence Maguire to the Companys Board of Directors.
Accordingly, as a result of the change in the Companys stock ownership and the composition of the Companys Board of Directors, the Transaction has resulted in a change of control of the Company.
The Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Report, and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the Purchase Agreement.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Report to we, us, our company, our, or the Company refer to Blugrass Energy Inc.
Item 3.02.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on February 23, 2011 we issued to Petro Grande an aggregate of 261,471,681 shares of the Companys common stock described under Item 2.01 above, comprising approximately 77% of the Companys outstanding shares.
Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. We made this determination based on the representations of Petro Grande that it is an accredited investor, as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act. Appropriate legends have been affixed to all shares of the Companys common stock issued in the Transaction.
Item 4.01.
Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant
Appointment of Whitley Penn LLP
Effective February 23, 2011, upon closing of the Transaction, the Company dismissed Madsen & Associates CPAs, Inc. (Madsen) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm and appointed Whitley Penn LLP (Whitley Penn) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the change of independent registered public accounting firms.
Madsens independent auditors report dated November 15, 2010, furnished in connection with the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2010, did not include an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that each such independent auditors report contained an qualification raising substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
During the Companys most recent fiscal year and the subsequent interim period prior to the date of this report, there were no disagreements with Madsen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Madsen, would have caused it to make reference to the matter thereof in connection with its report.
The Company has provided Madsen with a copy of this report prior to the filing hereof and has requested that Madsen furnish the Company a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not Madsen agrees with the statements made by the Company in this report.
Prior to the appointment of Whitley Penn as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Whitley Penn regarding either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys financial statements, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Whitley Penn concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (b) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement identified in response to Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions or an event identified in response to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Appointment of Madsen & Associates CPAs, Inc.
Larry ODonnell, CPA, P.C. (ODonnell P.C.) served as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the period ended June 30, 2009. The change in the Companys accounting firm from ODonnell P.C. to Madsen, effective February 12, 2010, was reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on February 16, 2010, and is incorporated herein by reference.
