Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 31, 2013, Magellan Petroleum Corporation (the "Company") received a letter dated May 30, 2013, from the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") indicating that the investigation relating to the announcements regarding an unsolicited proposal on August 28, 2012, by Stratex Oil & Gas Holdings, Inc. for the acquisition of the Company's common stock, which investigation has been previously reported by the Company (most recently in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, (the "10-Q")), had been completed as to the Company, against whom the Staff does not intend to recommend any enforcement action by the SEC. The Company believes that this matter is now concluded as to the Company, since, as also previously reported by the Company in the 10-Q, the Company received a letter from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") on April 30, 2013, indicating that FINRA had completed its related review regarding this matter, which letter also indicated that FINRA had referred its review to the SEC for whatever action, if any, the SEC deemed appropriate.
