On January 24, 2009, Victory Energy Corporation (the “Company”) granted options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock to each of the Company’s five board members, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share pursuant to a newly adopted stock option plan.  Each option vests at the rate of 100,000 shares per month.  The Company also granted two advisors each an option to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share which vests at the rate of 50,000 shares per month.

The Company relied upon the exemption from registration as set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D for the issuance of these securities with reference to the following facts and circumstances: (1) the holders were “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a); (2) the transfer of the securities was restricted by the Company in accordance with Rule 502(d); (3) there were no, and in any case no more than 35, non-accredited investors in the transaction within the meaning of Rule 506(b), after taking into consideration all prior investors under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act within the twelve months preceding the transaction; and (4) none of the offers and sales were effected through any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c).

As compensation for serving on the Board, each board member was granted an option to purchase 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.  Each option vests monthly at the rate of 100,000 shares per month.
