Item 1.01 Amendment to a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported on August 24, 2017, Victory Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Visionary Private Equity Group I, LP, a Missouri limited partnership (“VPEG”) on August 21, 2017, pursuant to which VPEG loaned $500,000 to the Company. Such loan is evidenced by a secured convertible original issue discount promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Company to VPEG on August 21, 2017. The Note reflects an original issue discount of $50,000 such that the principal amount of the VPEG Note is $550,000, notwithstanding the fact that the loan is in the amount of $500,000. The Note does not bear any interest in addition to the original issue discount; provided that upon the occurrence of an event of default (as defined in the Note), interest upon the unpaid principal amount shall begin to accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) eight percent (8%) per annum or (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed from time to time under applicable law. The Note was to mature on September 1, 2017 and is secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. VPEG has the right, exercisable at any time prior to payment in full, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount then outstanding, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.04 per share, subject to adjustment.
As previously reported on October 17, 2017, the Company and VPEG entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement and Note, dated October 11, 2017 (“Amendment No. 1”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to (i) increase the loan amount to $565,000, (ii) increase the principal amount of the Note to $621,500, reflecting an original issue discount of $56,500 and (iii) extend the maturity date to November 30, 2017.
As previously reported on November 22, 2017, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to, among other things, implement a 1-for-38 reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, and such reverse split became effective on November 24, 2017 (the “Reverse Split”).
On January 17, 2018, the Company and VPEG entered into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement and Note (the “Amendment No. 2”), pursuant to which the parties agreed (i) to extend the maturity date to a date that is five business days following VPEG’s written demand for payment on the Note; (ii) that VPEG will have the option but not the obligation to loan the Company additional amounts under the Note on the same terms upon the written request of the Company; and (iii) that, in the event that VPEG exercises its option to convert the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time after the maturity date and prior to payment in full of the principal amount of the Note, the Company shall issue to VPEG a five year warrant to purchase a number of additional shares of common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon such conversion, at an exercise price of $1.52 per share and containing a cashless exercise feature and such other provisions as mutually agreed to by the Company and VPEG. The number of shares that will be issuable pursuant to the warrant, if issued and exercised will be, and the exercise price to purchase such shares was, calculated on a post Reverse Split basis.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment filed as an exhibit to this report.

Such notice, after funding of the additional loan amount, shall automatically, and without any action on the party of the Borrower or the Lender, be deemed to be an amendment to the Note and Loan Agreement that reflects the terms described in the Lender’s written notice. The Lender’s written notice shall be evidence of the additional loan amount absent manifest error.
3.

In the event the Lender exercises its right to convert the Note into Shares pursuant to Section 5 of the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall issue to the Lender on the date of such conversion a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares issuable upon such conversion of the Note, the terms of which shall be mutually agreeable to the parties; provided that the warrant shall have a five (5) year term and the exercise price shall be $1.52 per share with the ability of the lender to exercise the warrant on a cashless basis.

The exercise price of the warrant described in Section 3 herein is, and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such warrant will be, calculated on a post-reverse split basis.
5.
Ratification of Remaining Provisions
