SECTION 1 REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS.
Item 1.01   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On February 26, 2008, Teton Energy Corporation (“Teton” or the “Company”) signed a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) to acquire reserves, production and certain oil and gas properties in the Central Kansas Uplift of Kansas from a group of approximately 14 working interest owners (“Sellers”) for approximately $53,400,000 before adjustments. Closing is expected to occur on or before April 25, 2008 with an effective date of March 1, 2008.
     The Company expects to pay approximately $40,100,000 of the purchase price in cash, and the remaining $13,300,000 in shares of Teton’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued will be based on the average price of Teton’s common stock for the period from February 26, 2008 through the second day preceding the closing date. Teton also will issue to the Sellers warrants to purchase an additional 625,000 shares of Teton common stock, for a period of two years, at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.
     Teton placed $1,000,000 as a good faith deposit in escrow upon execution of the LOI, which will be applied towards the cash component of the purchase price, or will be refunded, with interest, in the event that a mutually acceptable purchase and sale agreement is not executed by the parties within 60 days of the date of the LOI.
     Prior to entering into the LOI, there was no material relationship between the Company or its affiliates and the Sellers, other than in respect of this transaction or the LOI.
     The Company announced the signing of the letter of intent by press release on February 26, 2008, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
