CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

IZEA, INC.

August 26, 2013



Item 3.02.  
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Between August 26 - 30, 2013, IZEA, Inc. entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we privately placed $562,500 or 22.5 units (the “Units”), at a price of $25,000 per Unit (the “Private Placement”), paid in cash. Each Unit consisted of 100,000 shares of our common stock (“Common Stock”), together with two warrants (“Warrants”). The Warrants were composed of one Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share and another Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, in each case exercisable for cash at any time during the five years following the date of issuance. As a result of the Private Placement, we issued 2,250,000 shares of our common stock and issued fully-exercisable warrants to purchase up to additional 2,250,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for purposes of registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock and the shares underlying the Warrants within four months after the final closing date and use our commercially reasonable efforts to have it declared effective no later than six months after the final closing date.

The sale of these shares, combined with our previously issued shares in the Private Placement, as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 21, 2013, provided gross proceeds of $1,487,500 as of August 30, 2013, giving effect to note conversions and before expenses. These proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes. Our total number of outstanding shares of common stock after the issuance of shares in the Private Placement is 18,732,453 shares.
