Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 31, 2014, ZaZa Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV & Co. LLC (“MLV”) relating to the offering from time to time of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”) (such agreement, the “Sales Agreement”).  The offering of such shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-192257), and is being made pursuant to a prospectus dated February 14, 2014, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated March 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act.

Under the Sales Agreement, sales of shares of Common Stock, if any, may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which includes sales made directly on the NASDAQ Capital Market, on any other existing trading market for Common Stock or to or through a market maker, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to the Company’s approval.  MLV will make all sales using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, on terms mutually agreeable to MLV and the Company.  Either the Company or MLV may suspend the offering of Common Stock upon notice to the other and subject to other conditions.

Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the commission to MLV for sales of Common Stock will be 3% of the gross proceeds from each sale of shares.  The Company has agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to MLV against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The description of the Sales Agreement in this Item 1.01 is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
