ITEM 8.01    OTHER EVENTS.
On January 4, 2013 GMX Resources Inc. (the “Company”) previously disclosed the discovery of a scrivener’s error in the supplemental indenture related to the Conversion Rate of the Company’s 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015. The supplemental indenture incorrectly transposed numerators and denominators of “OS0/OS1” rather than the correct “OS1/OS0” in the antidilution formula for the Conversion Rate of the notes. The Conversion Rate in accordance with the erroneous formula would be 693.3329 shares of common stock per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes, whereas the Conversion Rate with the proper formula is 4.1026 shares of common stock per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes. After discussing the error with the trustee for the notes, the Company and the trustee determined that it would not be feasible to amend the supplemental indenture.
On January 11, 2013, the Company filed a Complaint for Declaratory Relief and Reformation in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma (Case No. 5:13-cv-00047-D) seeking a declaratory judgment and reformation of the notes and the supplemental indenture to correct the scrivener’s error in the antidilution formula.
