On December 12, 2011, Red Mountain Resources, Inc. ("Red Mountain") and Black Rock Capital, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Red Mountain, as direct and indirect shareholders of Cross Border, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada as Case No. A-11-653-089-B. The plaintiffs have asked the Court (i) to order the Company to hold an annual shareholders' meeting for the purpose of electing directors, and (ii) to declare that the solicitation or securing of proxies pursuant to a proxy solicitation made in accordance with the law shall not constitute or be deemed an "Association" as such term is defined in the Amendment to Bylaws recently adopted by the Company's Board of Directors.

"The termination of the LOI has no material impact on the day-to-day operations of the Company," stated Everett "Will" Gray II, CEO and Chairman of Cross Border. "We maintain great relationships with our working interest partners and will continue to execute our business plan.  We look forward to our next annual shareholders' meeting, which we intend to hold after the filing of our Form 10-K for fiscal 2011.
