PEDEVCO and Dome Energy signed an amendment extending the deadline for disclosure schedules and Dome's audited accounts from 15 July to 17 August 2015, and the merger was still said to be moving forward. It also appointed David Z. Steinberg as an independent director.
PEDEVCO announced it would participate in seven new horizontal wells in the Wattenberg Area, funded through an arrangement with its pending merger partner Dome Energy AB - continued drilling activity while the Dome combination is pending.

Agreed to acquire Dome Energy's US business, producing about 1,250 BOEPD in Texas, Wyoming and five other states, by issuing Dome's Swedish parent 152.6 million shares, 64% of the enlarged company. Closing required satisfying PEDEVCO's senior loan and subordinating about $8.35 million of junior debt to Dome US's $43.75 million credit facility.
PEDEVCO issued a press release confirming Dome Energy AB's announcement that the two companies had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization for PEDEVCO's proposed acquisition of Dome Energy, Inc. The material terms were to be disclosed in a later 8-K.
PEDEVCO raised only about $2.35 million net in a new stock offering priced at just $0.50/share - roughly a quarter of its 2013-14 offering prices - reflecting the toll the oil-price collapse and its own financial strain had taken on the stock.

Reacquired roughly 12,977 net DJ Basin acres and interests in 53 wells (~500 boe/d) from Golden Globe Energy, paying with 3.375 million common shares, 66,625 preferred shares, and assumption of $8.35 million of GGE's junior debt; also granted GGE a one-year option to buy PEDEVCO's entire Kazakhstan interest for just $100,000, and expanded the board from three to five seats with GGE board-appointment rights.

PEDEVCO bought back roughly 12,977 net acres and interests in 53 DJ Basin wells - assets it had conveyed away in its March 2014 Continental Resources financing - from Golden Globe Energy (US), paying with 3.4 million common shares, new preferred stock, and assuming about $8.35 million of Golden Globe's debt, while also granting Golden Globe a one-year option to buy PEDEVCO's entire Kazakhstan interest for just $100,000 - growing DJ Basin production but at the cost of putting its whole international bet up for a token price.
NYSE MKT notified PEDEVCO it is out of compliance with minimum stockholders' equity rules (under $6 million as of September 2014, after five straight years of net losses) and must submit a plan to regain compliance by July 2016.

Settled up with Continental Resources on the DJ Basin package bought in March 2014: a $482,677 refund on the price and another 863.61 net acres, almost all in the Wattenberg core, taking the position to about 14,132 net acres. Michael Peterson added the presidency to his chief financial officer role and Jamie Tseng stepped down as an executive officer.
PEDEVCO terminated its agreement to buy 51% of Asia Sixth Energy Resources. Under a new purchase agreement it will receive a 5% stake in TSX Venture-listed Caspian Energy, which will own Aral, in exchange for a $5 million promissory note representing its share of the deposit.

Reduced debt by about $1.87 million through Bridge Note conversions and settlement of legacy director fees, and announced plans to begin its first drilling operations — three horizontal DJ Basin wells — in mid-August 2014.
Shareholders approved adding 5,000,000 shares to the 2012 equity incentive plan, and restricted stock was issued under the 2013 compensation review -- a large top-up relative to a share count still in the low tens of millions.

PEDEVCO closed the $30 million Continental Resources DJ Basin acquisition, funded by a new $34.5 million secured note facility with RJ Credit and affiliated investors (netting about $27.5 million after fees) that can grow to $50 million to fund drilling on the new Colorado acreage and its Kansas Mississippian Lime property.
PEDEVCO raised about $5.7 million net in a second stock offering (2.99 million shares at $2.15/share) with Roth Capital Partners as lead underwriter, adding to the capital being lined up to close the Continental Resources acquisition.
PEDEVCO and Continental Resources pushed the DJ Basin deal's closing deadline back to March 7, 2014 while PEDEVCO finalized the debt financing needed to fund the $30 million purchase price.

White Hawk, PEDEVCO's wholly-owned subsidiary, sold its remaining Eagle Ford interest (about 3.97% non-operated working interest, 1,331 net acres in McMullen County, Texas) to Millennial PDP Fund IV for $2.8 million cash. This ended PEDEVCO's Eagle Ford holdings and let it focus on its Niobrara assets in Colorado.
PEDEVCO's new Red Hawk Petroleum subsidiary agreed to buy Continental Resources' DJ Basin Colorado assets - about 28,727 net acres and 40 wells including prime Wattenberg Area acreage, producing roughly 400 net boe/day - for $30 million cash, by far PEDEVCO's largest acquisition and a major expansion of its Niobrara footprint.
MIE Jurassic Energy Corporation sold half its Eagle Ford shale stake (held through the 50/50 White Hawk Petroleum joint venture) to Millennial PDP Fund IV and withdrew from White Hawk entirely, leaving PEDEVCO as 100% owner of White Hawk - PEDEVCO's own economic interest in the Eagle Ford assets is unchanged, but MIE's role there ends even as the two remain partners elsewhere (Condor, Niobrara financing).
Amended its $4 million Bridge Notes to extend maturity to July 2014 at a higher 12% rate, with partial principal repayment and deferral by the note holders — CEO Frank Ingriselli and EVP Clark Moore both personally deferred portions of their own notes alongside outside investors.
PEDEVCO raised about $6.4 million in net proceeds through a registered underwritten offering of 3.25 million shares at $2.25/share with National Securities Corporation - fresh capital arriving right after the Kazakhstan and Kansas Mississippian Lime commitments.
PEDEVCO agreed to buy 51% of Asia Sixth Energy Resources, a British Virgin Islands company that holds 60% of Aral Petroleum Capital in Kazakhstan - a producing oil & gas license covering roughly 380,000 acres in the Aktobe region, good through 2035 - paying an $8 million initial deposit with another $10 million due once a related $10 million note from Yao Hang Finance is collected. A major international expansion beyond PEDEVCO's US onshore assets.

PEDEVCO closed a $22 million private placement at $3.00 per share, $20 million from Yao Hang Finance (Hong Kong) and $2 million from an outside investor. Only $10 million was paid at closing, with the rest due under notes. Proceeds were earmarked for asset development, debt repayment and up to $20 million for possible Asian oil and gas interests, and the placement was conditional on an NYSE MKT uplisting.
PEDEVCO and MIE Jurassic Energy Corporation amended their $5 million credit line, pushing the maturity out from December 2013 to August 2014, dropping the requirement that a $10 million financing round trigger repayment, and raising the available credit to $6.5 million - more breathing room as the company funds its growing asset base.
Restated Q3 2012 financials a second time: a related-party preferred stock subscription had been misclassified, understating loss on settlement by $139,874, and redeemable preferred stock had been wrongly booked as permanent equity — accounting-control weaknesses recurring within months of the PEDCO merger.
The renegotiated Berexco deal materialized: PEDEVCO's subsidiary agreed to buy about 6,763 net acres of Mississippian Lime interests in Kansas plus 3-D seismic data for $4.2 million, using the same $864,866 deposit from the terminated Condor transaction, with closing expected in March 2013 subject to financing.
