Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 23, 2012, EnerJex Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), filed a petition seeking recovery of damages arising from breach of contract, legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri against attorneys Jeffrey T. Haughey, Robert K. Green, and the law firm Husch Blackwell LLP f/k/a Husch Blackwell Sanders, LLC. The petition in this action, EnerJex Resources, Inc., v. Haughey, et al., alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated their fiduciary duties and defrauded the Company in connection with the Company's stock offering in 2008. The petition alleges economic loss of approximately $50 million and demands judgment for unspecified actual and punitive damages together with repayment of legal fees paid of over $484,000. Because the petition was just filed this week, there can be no assurance of the outcome in the litigation, including whether and in what amount the Company may recover damages.
