Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On January 18, 2008, Crimson Exploration Inc. (the “Company”) accepted a notice from an individual stockholder of his intent to convert 500 shares of the Company’s Series G Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series G Preferred Stock”), into an aggregate of 34,821 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the terms of the Company’s charter. The Common Stock received upon conversion the Series G Preferred Stock will be based on $500 per share of preferred stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by the $9.00 per share conversion price on the preferred stock. The shares of the Common Stock received upon conversion of the Series G Preferred Stock have not been issued as of the date of this filing. In December 2007, an individual stockholder converted 8,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), into an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Common Stock received upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock was based on $500 per share of preferred stock, divided by the $80 per share conversion price. The shares of the Common Stock were issued on December 5, 2007. No other consideration was paid in connection with such conversion and issuance. In issuing the shares of the Common Stock, the Company relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
