Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 4, 2010, Resolute Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “Resolute”) and GeoResources,
Inc. (“GeoResources”) announced a joint project to develop acreage in the Bakken Shale Trend of
North Dakota. Resolute has entered into agreements with GeoResources to acquire a 45% interest in
the approximately 61,000 gross and 42,000 net leasehold acres in Williams County, North Dakota
owned by GeoResources. GeoResources will retain a 45% interest and operations. It is expected that
a third industry partner will participate in the remaining 10%. The parties presently plan to drill
at least three horizontal wells in the Middle Bakken formation prior to year end, as well as seek
to acquire additional acreage in the area. The primary objective for the joint venture is the
Middle Bakken formation, and secondary objectives include the Three Forks, Madison and the Red
River formations.
