Item 8.01.              Other Events.

 

As previously reported, on November 10, 2008, all of the direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) of Storm Cat Energy Corporation (the “Parent”) filed a voluntary petition for reorganization (the “Reorganization Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Reorganization Cases do not include the Parent.  The Reorganization Cases are being jointly administered under Case No. 08-27887 ABC.  On December 31, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court granted a motion and entered a final order on the docket (the “Order”) authorizing the Debtors to obtain approximately $14 million in principal amount of post-petition financing (the “DIP Financing”) on terms and conditions set forth in the Order and to be set forth in a Restated DIP Credit Agreement among the Debtors, Parent, as a non-debtor guarantor, and Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as administrative agent for one or more financial institutions to be parties thereto (the “DIP Agreement”).  The Order also authorized the Debtors to use Cash Collateral (within the meaning of section 363(a) of the Code) in accordance with the Order and the DIP Agreement.  The Debtors are in the process of negotiating and finalizing the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement consistent with the terms of the Order.  However, the lenders are not obligated to enter into the DIP Agreement and relating financing and there can be no assurance that such financing will be completed.
