Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations

On June 18, 2015, Ring Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), providing for the offer and sale in a firm commitment offering of 4,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $11.50 per share of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 675,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) at the same price.

The offer and sale of the Common Stock is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-200324) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 3, 2014. A preliminary prospectus supplement was filed with the SEC on June 17, 2015, and a final prospectus supplement was filed with the SEC on June 22, 2015 (collectively, the “Prospectus”). The Company expects the sale of the Shares to close on or about June 23, 2015.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering of approximately $49 million, together with borrowings under a planned amended revolving credit facility, to fund its previously announced pending acquisition of oil and gas properties in the Ford West Field and Ford Geraldine Unit in Reeves and Culberson Counties, in the State of Texas (the “Pending Acquisition”). To the extent the Pending Acquisition is not consummated, the Company intends to use the net proceeds to fund a portion of its exploration and development activities and for general corporate purposes, which may include leasehold interest and property acquisitions, repayment of indebtedness, and working capital.

In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking, and investment banking services for the Company in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and would receive customary compensation. Affiliates of SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. are lenders under our revolving credit facility, and they may receive more than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering in connection with the repayment of amounts under such credit agreement.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified by reference to the document, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
