Item 1.01    Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Convertible Notes
 
On August 1, 2018, PEDEVCO Corp. (the “ Company ”, “ PEDEVCO ”, “ we ” and “ us ”) raised $23,600,000 through the sale of $23,600,000 in Convertible Promissory Notes (the “ Convertible Notes ”). A total of $22,000,000 in Convertible Notes was purchased by SK Energy LLC (“ SK Energy ”), a company wholly-owned by our Chief Executive Officer and director, Dr. Simon Kukes; $200,000 in Convertible Notes was purchased by an executive officer of SK Energy; $500,000 in Convertible Notes was purchased by a trust affiliated with John J. Scelfo, a director of the Company; and $500,000 in Convertible Notes was purchased by an entity affiliated with Ivar Siem, our director, and J. Douglas Schick, who was appointed as the President of the Company on August 1, 2018, as discussed below in Item 5.02 ; and $400,000 in Convertible Notes were purchased by unaffiliated parties.
 
The Convertible Notes accrue interest monthly at 8.5% per annum, which interest is payable on the maturity date unless otherwise converted into our common stock as described below.
 
The Convertible Notes and all accrued interest thereon are convertible into shares of our common stock, from time to time following the determination of the VWAP Price (as defined below), at the option of the holders thereof, at a conversion price equal to the greater of (x) $0.10 above the greater of the book value of the Company’s common stock and the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock on the date the Convertible Notes were entered into (the “ Book/Market Price ”) (which was $2.03 per share); (y) $1.63 per share; and (z) the VWAP Price, defined as the volume weighted average price (calculated by aggregate trading value on each trading day) of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days subsequent to, but not including, the date that this Current Report on Form 8-K is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The conversion of the SK Energy Convertible Note is subject to a 49.9% conversion limitation (for so long as SK Energy or any of its affiliates holds such note), which prevents the conversion of any portion thereof into common stock of the Company if such conversion would result in SK Energy beneficially owning (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)(“ Beneficially Owning ”) more than 49.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
 
The conversion of the other Convertible Notes is subject to a 4.99% conversion limitation, at any time such note is Beneficially Owned by any party other than (i) SK Energy or any of its affiliates (which is subject to the separate conversion limitation described above); (ii) any officer of the Company; (iii) any director of the Company; or (iv) any person which at the time of obtaining Beneficial Ownership of the Convertible Note beneficially owns more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock or voting stock (collectively (ii) through (iv), “ Borrower Affiliates ”). The Convertible Notes are not subject to a conversion limitation at any time they are owned or held by Borrower Affiliates.
 
The Convertible Notes are due and payable on August 1, 2021, but may be prepaid at any time, without penalty. The Convertible Notes contain standard and customary events of default and upon the occurrence of an event of default, the amount owed under the Convertible Notes accrues interest at 10% per annum.
 
The terms of the Convertible Notes may be amended or waived and such amendment or waiver shall be applicable to all of the Convertible Notes with the written consent of Convertible Note holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then aggregate dollar value of Convertible Notes outstanding.

Hunter Oil Purchase and Sale Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement
 
On August 1, 2018, PEDCO entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Milnesand Minerals Inc., a Delaware corporation, Chaveroo Minerals Inc., a Delaware corporation, Ridgeway Arizona Oil Corp., an Arizona corporation (“ RAOC ”), and EOR Operating Company, a Texas corporation (“ EOR ”)(collectively “ Seller ”)(the “ Purchase Agreement ”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we (through our wholly-owned subsidiary Pacific Energy Development Corp. (“ PEDCO ”) ) agreed to acquire certain oil and gas assets described in greater detail below (the “ Assets ”) from the Sellers in consideration for $18,500,000 (of which $500,000 is to be held back to provide for potential indemnification of PEDCO under the Purchase Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement (described below), with one-half ($250,000) to be released to Seller 90 days after closing and the balance ($250,000) to be released 180 days after closing (provided that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any part of the amount withheld by PEDCO subsequent to 180 days after closing was in fact due to the Seller, PEDCO is required to pay Seller 200%, instead of 100%, of the amount so retained). The effective date of the acquisition of the Assets is scheduled to be September 1, 2018. The purchase price is subject to adjustment: (a) to reflect expenditures by Seller which are attributable to the Assets after the effective time of the transaction (upwards); (b) proceeds attributable to the sale of hydrocarbons received by the Seller that are attributable to the Assets after the effective time of the transaction (downward if received by the Seller); (c) discrepancies in the title of the Assets (downward); (d) the value of hydrocarbons in tanks at the effective time of the transaction (upward); and (e) certain other adjustments as described in greater detail in the Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below), subject to a maximum aggregate downward adjustment of 15% of the aggregate purchase price for adjustments relating to the title of the Assets.
 
In connection with our entry into the Purchase Agreement, we paid $500,000 into escrow as a deposit towards the acquisition of the Assets (the “ Deposit ”).   The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, and indemnification requirements (subject to a $25,000 aggregate minimum threshold and a $1,000,000 cap as to each of buyer and seller). The closing of the acquisition contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is anticipated to occur on August 31, 2018, with an effective date of September 1, 2018, subject to the closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including receipt of Hunter Oil Corp. shareholder approval, the ultimate parent company of each of the Sellers. Either party may terminate the Purchase Agreement in the event the closing has not occurred by August 31, 2018, and the failure to close was not a result of the breach of the agreement by the terminating party. In the event the Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason other than the material breach of the Purchase Agreement by PEDCO or PEDCO’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Deposit is required to be returned to PEDCO. The Purchase Agreement allows PEDCO to audit the revenues and expenses of the Seller attributable to the Assets for the period of three years prior to the closing, among other things, and requires the Seller to provide assistance to PEDCO in connection with such audit for the first 180 days following closing (with such Seller’s reasonable costs associated with such audit being reimbursed by PEDCO at the rate of 150% of such costs).
 
The Assets represent approximately 23,000 net leasehold acres, current operated production, and all of Seller’s leases and related rights, oil and gas and other wells, equipment, easements, contract rights, and production (effective as of the effective date) as described in the Purchase Agreement. The Assets are located in the San Andres play in the Permian Basin situated in west Texas and eastern New Mexico, with all acreage and production 100% operated and substantially all acreage held by production.
 
Also on August 1, 2018, PEDCO entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Hunter Oil Production Corp. (“ Hunter Oil ”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, PEDCO agreed to acquire all of the stock of RAOC and EOR (the “ Acquired Companies ”) for a net of $500,000 (an aggregate purchase price of $2,815,636, less $2,315,636 in restricted cash which the Acquired Companies are required to maintain as of the closing date). The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, post-closing adjustments, and indemnification requirements requiring Hunter Oil to indemnify us for certain items (subject to the $25,000 aggregate minimum threshold and $1,000,000 cap provided for in the Purchase Agreement) and us to indemnify Hunter Oil for certain items (which requirement does not include a threshold or cap). The closing of the acquisition contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement is anticipated to close on August 31, 2018, subject to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (described above), and simultaneously therewith.

Condor Acquisition
 
 On August 1, 2018, Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary (“ Red Hawk ”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “ Membership Purchase Agreement ”) with MIE Jurassic Energy Corporation (“ MIEJ ”). Pursuant to the Membership Purchase Agreement, MIEJ sold Red Hawk 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Condor Energy Technology LLC (“ Condor ”) in consideration for $545,000. Condor owns approximately 2,340 net leasehold acres, 100% held by production (HBP), located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado, with four operated producing wells. The Membership Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and provides that, as of the August 1, 2018 effective date, Red Hawk will assume responsibility for all costs, expenses and obligations outstanding and unpaid that are attributable to the properties as of the effective date and thereafter, and Red Hawk will also be entitled to all income and revenues received by Condor that are attributable to the properties, even if received by Condor with respect to oil and gas production prior to the effective date.
 
The Company previously owned 20% of Condor through PEDCO, along with MIEJ, which then held 80% of Condor, until February 19, 2015, when we and PEDCO entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “ MIEJ Settlement Agreement ”) with MIEJ, whereby, among other things, PEDCO sold its full 20% interest in Condor to MIEJ. Additionally, until June 25, 2018, when such amount was repaid pursuant to a Debt Repayment Agreement (described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2018), we owed approximately $6.4 million to MIEJ pursuant to the terms of a Secured Subordinated Promissory Note (the “ MIEJ Note ”).

The disclosures in  Item 1.01  above regarding the Convertible Notes are incorporated by reference in this  Item 2.03  in their entirety.

We claim an exemption from registration for the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes described above pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ Securities Act ”), since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients were “ accredited investors ” and/or had access to similar information as would be included in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
 
Up to a total of 11,079,812 shares of common stock of the Company are issuable upon the conversion of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, based on a Conversion Price equal to $2.13 per share, which is $0.10 above the $2.03 per share Book/Market Price on August 1, 2018, which conversion price is subject to upward adjustment in connection with the calculation of the final VWAP Price as discussed above subsequent to the date hereof.

The Existing Contracts to the extent that they do not, individually or in the aggregate, reduce Seller's net revenue interest below that shown in Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, or increase Seller's working interest above that shown in Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, without a proportionate increase in the net revenue interest;

3.4   Remedy for Title Defect . Subject to Section 3.5, Seller shall have the right until Closing to cure a Title Defect to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser. For any uncured Title Defect, the Purchase Price shall be reduced as follows:
 
A.   If the Title Defect is based on Seller owning less net mineral acres in any Lease that is given an Allocated Value in Exhibit C than those represented for such Lease in Exhibit A, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the product of multiplying the Allocated Value set forth in Exhibit C for such Lease by a fraction the numerator of which is the net acres for such Lease shown on Exhibit A less the actual net mineral acres, and the dominator of which is the net mineral acres shown for such Lease on Exhibit A.
 
B.   If the Title Defect is based on a Lease that is given an Allocated Value in Exhibit C being burdened by a royalty, overriding royalty or other burden on production that in the aggregate is greater than the net revenue burden represented on Exhibit A for such Lease, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the product of multiplying the Allocated Value of such Lease set forth in Exhibit C for such Lease by a fraction, the numerator of which is an amount equal to the net revenue interest shown on Exhibit A for such Lease less the decimal share attributable to the Title Defect and the denominator of which is the net revenue interest for such Lease shown on Exhibit A.
 
C.   If the Title Defect is a lien, encumbrance or other charge on the Assets that is liquidated in amount, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount necessary to be paid to remove that Title Defect but in no event shall the Purchase Price reduction exceed the Allocated Value of the affected Assets.
 
D.   If the Title Defect is due to the terms of a Lease or an Existing Contract not being reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount obtained by deeming the interest affected by the unacceptable Lease or Existing Contract to have complete failure of title, and then calculating the resulting decrease in Net Revenue Interest in the applicable Well in accordance with subparagraph D above for a Well, or subparagraph A above for a non-producing Lease.
 
In all situations set forth above other than Paragraph D, the Lease or Leases affected by the Title Defect shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing, excluding the portion of such Lease affected by the Title Defect. In the case of a Title Defect under Paragraph D above, title to the Lease or Leases affected by such Title Defect shall remain in Seller.
 
 
 
5
 
 
3.5            Additional Cure Period and Put Right. At any time   until 90 days following Closing Seller shall also have the right (the “Put Right”) to cure a Title Defect to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and to put the unpurchased portion of the Lease that is the subject of the Title Defect to the Purchaser for a purchase price equal to the reduction in the Purchase Price attributable to the Title Defect for that particular Lease. The Seller may exercise this Put Right by providing notice thereof to the Purchaser and the Seller and the Purchaser shall do all further acts and things as are reasonably necessary to complete the transfer in accordance with Section 8.4.
 
3.6   Assumption of Liability . From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser agrees to and will assume all surface, plugging and abandonment, environmental and all other liability of whatsoever kind and nature as to the Assets whether from ownership, operation, use or contract. Purchaser acknowledges that there may exist obligations to surface owners or tenants of the surface, such as grazing lessees, of the subject lands to negotiate and execute a surface use and compensation agreement in compliance with the New Mexico Surface Owner’s Protection Act, which obligation may include providing notice of Purchaser’s oil and gas operations and non-oil and gas operations. After the Effective Time, SELLER GIVES NO WARRANTY AS TO ITS COMPLIANCE WITH STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES OR REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE OR PLUGGING LIABILITY AND ADDITIONALLY GIVES NO WARRANTY AS TO THE CONDITION OF THE SURFACE OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES IT IS ACQUIRING THE ASSETS IN AN EXISTING “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS” CONDITION.
 
3.7   Indemnification . NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, FROM AND AFTER THE EFFECTIVE TIME PURCHASER AGREES TO AND WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SELLER FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) THAT ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO (I) ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES ARISING FROM SELLER’S OWNERSHIP, OPERATION, OR USE OF THE ASSETS, (II) PLUGGING AND ABANDONING ALL WELLS NOW OR HEREAFTER LOCATED ON THE LANDS INCLUDED IN THE ASSETS, (III) ANY AND ALL COSTS INCIDENT TO SUCH PLUGGING AND ABANDONMENT, (IV) ANY ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ASSETS, AND (V) ALL CLAIMS PERTAINING TO THE SURFACE OR ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS.. THIS SECTION 3.7 SHALL SURVIVE THE EFFECTIVE TIME. THE DEFENSE, INDEMNIFICATION, HOLD HARMLESS AND RELEASE PROVISIONS PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE APPLICABLE WHETHER OR NOT THE LIABILITIES, COSTS, EXPENSES AND DAMAGES IN QUESTION AROSE OR RESULTED SOLELY OR IN PART FROM THE GROSS, SOLE, ACTIVE, PASSIVE, CONCURRENT OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER FAULT OR VIOLATION OF LAW OF OR BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
 
[CN-__]  Effective August 1, 2018
 
NOW THEREFORE FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned,
PEDEVCO Corp. , a Texas corporation (the “ Borrower ”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ______________________ and assigns (“ Holder ”), the principal amount of _________________________________ (US $_______________) (the “ Principal ”), in lawful money of the United States of America, which shall be legal tender, bearing interest and payable as provided herein. This Convertible Promissory Note (this “ Note ” or “ Promissory Note ”)   has an effective date of August 1, 2018 (the “ Effective Date ”). This Note is entered into to evidence the loan of the Principal to the Borrower on the Effective Date (the “ Loan ”). This Note is one of six Convertible Promissory Notes entered into between the Borrower and various lenders, including the Holder, on or around the date hereof in the aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000,000 (collectively, with the Holder, the holders of the other Convertible Promissory Notes are defined herein as the “ Note Holders ” and this Note, collectively with the Convertible Promissory Notes of the other Note Holders (identified as Convertible Promissory Notes CN-1 through CN-__), including any replacement notes, notes which are assigned, reissued, or broken into smaller notes, are defined as the “ Note Holders’ Notes ”). “ Required Note Holders ” means Note Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then aggregate dollar value of the Note Holders’ Notes outstanding at such time of determination. The payment of any amounts due to the Note Holders under the Note Holders’ Notes is expressly subordinated and deferred until full payment and satisfaction of that certain Promissory Note, dated June 25, 2018, in the amount of $7.7 million, issued by the Company to SK Energy, LLC, as the same may be amended or modified in accordance with its terms (the “ Senior Note ”), unless otherwise waived or permitted by SK Energy, LLC, provided, however, nothing in the Senior Note or any Note Holders’ Notes shall restrict a Note Holder from exercising its Holder Conversion Option (as defined below) as set forth, and in accordance with, the provisions set forth herein.

1.   Interest (“ Interest ”) shall accrue on the Principal amount of this Note then outstanding at the rate of eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum (the “ Interest Rate ”), compounded monthly at the rate of 1/12 th of such annual interest per month, on the last day of each calendar month (“ Monthly Interest ”). The Monthly Interest shall accrue and be payable on the Maturity Date, if not paid prior to such Maturity Date, or converted into Shares (as defined in Section 2 ) as provided herein.
 
2.   Holder’s Option to Convert This Note Into Shares .
 
(a)   At any time following (i) the date that the VWAP Price is determined (as defined below) and (ii) prior to the payment in full by the Borrower of this Note, subject to the provisions of Section 2 , below, Holder shall have the option to convert the Principal (or any portion thereof) and accrued Interest (or any portion thereof), into shares   (the “ Shares ”) of common stock of the Borrower (“ Common Stock ”), at the applicable Conversion Price (the “ Holder Conversion Option ”), which shall apply for the conversion of Principal and all accrued Interest (each a “ Conversion ”). The “ Conversion Price ” shall equal: the greater of (x) $0.10 above the Book/Market Price; (y) $1.63 per Share; and (z) the VWAP Price.
 
(b)   In order to exercise this Holder Conversion Option, the Holder shall provide the Borrower a written notice of its intentions to exercise this Holder Conversion Option, which notice shall set forth the amount of this Promissory Note to be converted, the applicable Principal and Interest to be converted and the calculation of the applicable Conversion Price, which shall be in the form of Exhibit A , attached hereto (“ Notice of Conversion ”). Within ten (10) business days of the Borrower’s receipt of the Notice of Conversion (reflecting Conversion Price confirmed by the Borrower), the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder, written confirmation that the Shares have been issued in the name of the Holder. If the Borrower reasonably believes that there is an error in Holder’s calculation of the Shares issuable in connection with the Notice of Conversion or the Conversion Price provided for therein, or another issue with the conversion, the Borrower shall not be obligated to honor such defective Notice of Conversion and shall promptly notify Holder of such errors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower until the Holder has converted the entire amount of this Note, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Borrower for cancellation within three (3) business days of the date the final Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Borrower. Partial conversions of this Note shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding Principal amount of this Note. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the actual Principal Amount of this Note, provided that absent manifest error, the Borrower’s records shall control.

Expands Executive, Engineering, Development, Accounting, Regulatory,   Technical and Operating Teams
Headquarters Moved to Houston, Texas
 
Houston, Texas, Wednesday, August 1, 2018 – PEDEVCO Corp. d/b/a Pacific Energy Development (NYSE American: PED) (the “Company") reported today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire over 23,000 net leasehold acres, all operated production, and all related existing infrastructure and certain operating companies from certain U.S. subsidiaries of Hunter Oil Corp. (OTCQX: HOILF; TSX-V: HOC), with closing scheduled to occur on or about August 31, 2018, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. These assets are located in the prolific San Andres play in the Permian Basin situated in west Texas and eastern New Mexico, with all acreage and production 100% operated and substantially all acreage held by production.
 
In addition, effective August 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Condor Energy Technology LLC, which owns and operates 4 horizontal wells producing from the Niobrara formation, and approximately 2,340 net acres held by production, all located in the D-J Basin in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado, and represents “bolt-on” acreage to the Company’s existing operations in the D-J Basin.
 
Also effective August 1, 2018, Mr. J. Douglas Schick, an oil and gas executive with over 20 years’ experience in the industry, joined the Company as its new President, with responsibility over the Company’s exploration and production and mergers and acquisition functions, reporting directly to Company CEO Simon Kukes. In addition, effective August 1, 2018, the Company hired four additional employees with expertise in oil and gas development, operations, engineering, accounting and regulatory matters, and relocated its headquarters to Houston, Texas. Current Company Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Gregory Overholtzer, and current Company Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Mr. Clark R. Moore, remain in office in their current roles, with Mr. Moore assuming the additional responsibility and oversight over all Company human resource matters.
 
Dr. Simon Kukes, the CEO of the Company, commented, "Consistent with our business plan to acquire accretive assets and focus on long-term growth, we have acquired the additional D-J Basin assets, and plan to close on the acquisition of the Permian Basin assets by the end of the month. I have also further directly funded the Company to acquire these assets. With the additional team members now in place, and Company headquarters relocated to Houston, I believe we are positioned to continue growing the Company through additional acquisitions and development of our assets.”
