Amegy Bank to Exchange Series A Preferred Stock for Shares of Infinity Energy Resources Common Stock

OVERLAND PARK, KS — (Marketwired) — 12/16/13 — Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. (OTCQB: IFNY) (“Infinity”) (the “Company”), an independent oil and gas exploration and development company, today announced that Amegy Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) has agreed to exchange all 130,000 shares of Infinity Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) it owns for shares of Infinity Common Stock valued at $4.00 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $100.00. The Bank also agreed to receive shares of Infinity Common Stock in exchange for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock totaling $1,365,000 at $4.00 per share. The transaction is valued at $14,365,000 and is expected to close within a week.

This transaction will cancel the Series A Preferred Stock, eliminating any future dividends while satisfying the amount of accrued dividends. It will increase the Company–s paid-in capital by $14,365,000.

“The exchange of the Preferred Stock, along with an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends, for Common Stock will result in the issuance of 3,591,250 new shares of Common Stock and will eliminate all –super voting– rights that were previously available to the Series A Preferred shareholder,” stated Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. “We also believe the increase in paid-in capital that will result from the transaction represents another step towards our goal of listing IFNY shares on a national stock exchange.”

“We believe this transaction will improve Infinity–s ability to move forward with exploration and development activities on its 1.4 million-acre oil and gas concessions offshore Nicaragua by providing greater flexibility in seeking financing for current needs and for a longer-term strategic or financial partner for the project.”

“Infinity recently announced that seismic activities are underway on its Tyra and Perlas concessions in the Caribbean Sea offshore Nicaragua,” continued Ross. “CGG, a fully integrated Geoscience company that provides geological, geophysical and reservoir services to the global oil and gas industry, is providing 2-D and 3-D seismic mapping, processing and interpretation services on Infinity–s oil and gas concessions. We expect initial processing of 2-D seismic data to be completed by early January, with processing and interpretation of all 2-D and 3-D data anticipated to be completed before the end of the first quarter of 2014. Depending on the results of the seismic mapping conducted by CGG, the conclusions derived from the processing of such data, and the availability of sufficient capital, Infinity could commence the drilling of an initial exploratory well in late 2014 or early 2015.”

Infinity Energy Resources, Inc.–s operations consist of exploration and development activities associated with oil and gas concessions covering approximately 1.4 million acres offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea.
