Item 7.01—Regulation FD Disclosure

 

Houston American Energy Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide certain unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information to reflect the receipt of proceeds from sales of common stock pursuant to the Company’s “At the Market Issuance Sales Agreement” (the “ATM Offering”) as of September 11, 2017. As previously disclosed, on March 22, 2016, the Company received notification (the “Deficiency Letter”) from the NYSE MKT LLC of its noncompliance with certain NYSE American continued listing standards relating to, among other things, stockholders’ equity. Specifically, the Company was not in compliance with Section 103(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide requiring stockholders’ equity of $6.0 million or more if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net loss in its five most recent fiscal years. Pursuant to the Deficiency Letter, and further notifications from the NYSE American, the Company was granted an extension of its listing, until September 18, 2017, to regain compliance with the continued listing standards pertaining to stockholders’ equity.

 

The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K is to reflect the results of the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the NYSE American.

 

As of September 11, 2017, the Company had sold an aggregate of 4,245,135 shares in the ATM Offering and had received proceeds, net of commissions and expenses, of $2,379,605.

 

Pro forma shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2017, giving effect to the receipt of net proceeds from the ATM Offering, as of September 11, 2017, was as follows:
