Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On December 29, 2017, MegaWest Energy Kansas Corp. (“MegaWest”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petro River Oil Corp (the “Company”), entered into an agreement to modify various Promissory Notes (together, the “Notes”) (the “Modification”) previously issued by Fortis Business Holdings, LLC and Fortis Property Group, LLC (together, “Fortis”) to MegaWest, as more specifically set forth in the Modification of Promissory Notes attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Pursuant to the Modification, MegaWest (i) extended the maturity date of the Notes to January 31, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”), (ii) waived any and all interest payments due under the Notes until the Maturity Date, and (iii) agreed not to assess Fortis any late charges or increase the interest rate with respect to any outstanding interest payments due under any of the Notes as of the date of the Modification.
 
Proceeds from the Notes will be available upon the redetermination of the fair market value of the Company’s interest in Bandolier Energy LLC (the “Bandolier Interest”) (the “Redetermination”), which is anticipated to occur on or before January 31, 2018. Upon a Redetermination, in the event there is a shortfall from the valuation ascribed to the Bandolier Interest at the time of the Redetermination, as compared to the value ascribed to the Bandolier Interest in the Contribution Agreement entered into by and between the Company, MegaWest and Fortis, dated October 15, 2015, the Company will be required to provide MegaWest with a cash contribution in an amount equal to the shortfall. In the event the Company is unable to deliver to MegaWest the cash contribution required after the Redetermination, if any, the board of directors of MegaWest shall have the right to exercise certain remedies against the Company, including a right to foreclose on the Company’s entire equity in MegaWest, which equity interest has been pledged to Fortis under the terms of the Contribution Agreement. In the event of foreclosure, the Bandolier Interest would revert back to the Company.
