Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 6, 2012, Cano Petroleum, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) determined that they did not receive any qualifying bids prior to the expiration of the bid deadline in competition with the ‘stalking horse’ offer from NBI Services, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“NBI”), to acquire the Debtors’ equity interests or assets and businesses, as determined in accordance with the bid procedures order entered by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). As a result, the Company will not conduct the auction previously scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. (Central Time) on June 12, 2012.
Accordingly, the Company has declared that NBI’s ‘stalking horse’ offer of $47,500,000 is the successful offer. The Company will seek approval of the Stock Purchase Agreement among the Debtors and NBI at a hearing currently scheduled for 9:00 a.m. (Central time) on Monday, July 16, 2012 and intends to proceed with the previously announced transaction to sell all of the shares of common stock that will be issued by the reorganized Company pursuant to the Debtors’ joint plan of reorganization as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2012.
The obligations of the Debtors and NBI to complete the sale remain subject to a number of customary closing conditions.
