Form 8-K for SMF ENERGY CORP


9-Feb-2009

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Unregistered Sale of Equity Securitie


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

In a Form 8-K filed January 2, 2009, SMF Energy Corporation (the "Company") announced that it that it had elected to defer the interest payments on its 11½% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes dated August 8, 2007 (the "Notes") scheduled for January 1, 2009 (the "Payment") until on or about January 30, 2009, in order to keep its cash position strong during the New Year's holiday and the post holiday period and to ensure that the Company would continue to meet its daily minimum excess availability requirement with its primary lender during that time. In light of the deepening economic recession in January, the Company determined that a further deferral of the Payment was appropriate. Accordingly, on February 3, 2009, the Company entered into a series of agreements (the "Agreements") with each of the holders of the Notes ("Holders") relating to a further deferral of the Payment or a conversion of the Payment to Unregistered Shares of our Common Stock ("Shares").

Under the Agreements, the Payment was deferred until April 15, 2009, in exchange for the immediate payment to the Holders of a deferral fee equal to one percent (1%) of the current outstanding balance of the Note (the "Deferral Fee") or the Payment was made in the form of unregistered shares of our Common Stock ("Shares"). Fifty percent (50%) of the Deferral Fee was paid in cash and fifty percent (50%) was paid in Shares. For purposes of determining the number of Shares to be issued for the stock portion of the Deferral Fee or upon conversion of the Payment, Shares were valued at $0.29 per share, the official closing price on the Nasdaq Stock Market on January 22, 2009, the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of the Agreements. The total cash paid pursuant to the Agreements was $45,909.46, and an aggregate of 158,328 Shares were issued to Holders, either as part of the Deferral Fee or for conversion of the Payment.

As a further inducement to the Holders to enter into the Agreements, each member of the Company's senior management team voluntarily agreed to defer payment of 10% of their respective salaries for and during the same period of time that the Holders defer payment of interest on the Notes. These senior officers, namely Richard E. Gathright, Chief Executive Officer and President, Michael Shore, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Patricia Messenbaugh, Chief Accounting Officer and Vice President, and Senior Vice Presidents Paul C. Vinger, Robert W.Beard, Timothy E. Shaw and Gary W. Williams, have agreed to this matching deferral without requiring the payment of any interest or deferral fee.
