American Standard Energy, Corp. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) closed on a purchase and sale agreement (the &ldquo;Agreement&rdquo;)
with XOG Operating LLC, a Texas limited liability company (&ldquo;XOG&rdquo;) and Geronimo Holding Corporation, a Texas corporation
(&ldquo;Geronimo&rdquo; and together with XOG, the &ldquo;Sellers&rdquo;) pursuant to which the Company acquired leasehold working
interests in approximately 72,300 net acres across the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford shale formation and the Eagle Bine in Texas, the
Williston Basin in North Dakota, and the Niobrara shale formation in Wyoming and Nebraska (collectively, the &ldquo;Properties&rdquo;)
in exchange for the delivery by the Company to the Sellers of $10 million in cash, including a $1.5 million cash deposit previously
paid by the Company (&ldquo;Cash Consideration&rdquo;), a note in the principal amount of $35,000,000 (the &ldquo;Note&rdquo;)
made by the Company in favor of Geronimo and 5,000,000 shares (the &ldquo;Buyer Shares&rdquo;) of the common stock of the Company
(&ldquo;Common Stock&rdquo;) (the Cash Consideration, the Note and the Buyer Shares, collectively, the &ldquo;Consideration&rdquo;).
The Company&rsquo;s Common Stock closed at $2.70 per share on March 5, 2012.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The purchase price was negotiated
among the parties. A special committee of the Company&rsquo;s board of directors (the &ldquo;Special Committee&rdquo;),
comprised solely of disinterested directors pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, reviewed and considered, in
consultation with management, recent sales of comparable oil and gas properties in the regions in which the Properties were
located to determine the consideration for the Properties.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Note bears an interest rate of 7% per
annum, which shall be increased to 9% per annum upon an event of default, payable on the first business day of each month commencing
on June 1, 2012. The Note has a maturity date of March 21, 2016. The Company may prepay the Note at any time without penalty.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Agreement provides that if certain
defects are found with the Properties within 120 days of the Closing Date or if the Sellers breach any representation or warranty
in the Agreement within one year of the Closing Date, Sellers shall, at the option of the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion,
either (i) provide additional or alternative oil and gas properties, subject to the Company&rsquo;s applicable due diligence review
and acceptance or (ii) for as long as the Note is outstanding, decrease the principal amount of the Note in an amount equal to
the loss resulting from such property defect or breach.</P>

affiliates.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The issuance of the Buyer Shares was not
registered under the Securities Act and the above referenced issuances qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The issuance was not a &ldquo;public offering&rdquo;
as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved, size of the offering, manner of the offering and
number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of
investors. In addition, Geronimo represented that it had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since Geronimo
agreed to and received securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to the Securities Act.
This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part
of a &ldquo;public offering.&rdquo; Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.</P>

Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On March 5, 2012 (the "Closing Date"),
American Standard Energy, Corp. (the "Company") closed on a purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement")
with XOG Operating LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("XOG") and Geronimo Holding Corporation, a Texas corporation
("Geronimo" and together with XOG, the "Sellers") pursuant to which the Company acquired leasehold working
interests in approximately 72,300 net acres across the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford shale formation and the Eagle Bine in Texas, the
Williston Basin in North Dakota, and the Niobrara shale formation in Wyoming and Nebraska (collectively, the "Properties")
in exchange for the delivery by the Company to the Sellers of $10 million in cash, including a $1.5 million cash deposit previously
paid by the Company ("Cash Consideration"), a note in the principal amount of $35,000,000 (the "Note")
made by the Company in favor of Geronimo and 5,000,000 shares (the "Buyer Shares") of the common stock of the Company
("Common Stock") (the Cash Consideration, the Note and the Buyer Shares, collectively, the "Consideration").
The Company's Common Stock closed at $2.70 per share on March 5, 2012.
The purchase price was negotiated
among the parties. A special committee of the Company's board of directors (the "Special Committee"),
comprised solely of disinterested directors pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, reviewed and considered, in
consultation with management, recent sales of comparable oil and gas properties in the regions in which the Properties were
located to determine the consideration for the Properties.
The Note bears an interest rate of 7% per
annum, which shall be increased to 9% per annum upon an event of default, payable on the first business day of each month commencing
on June 1, 2012. The Note has a maturity date of March 21, 2016. The Company may prepay the Note at any time without penalty.
The Agreement provides that if certain
defects are found with the Properties within 120 days of the Closing Date or if the Sellers breach any representation or warranty
in the Agreement within one year of the Closing Date, Sellers shall, at the option of the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion,
either (i) provide additional or alternative oil and gas properties, subject to the Company's applicable due diligence review
and acceptance or (ii) for as long as the Note is outstanding, decrease the principal amount of the Note in an amount equal to
the loss resulting from such property defect or breach.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,
the Company granted piggy-back registration rights with respect to five million shares of Common Stock held by Sellers or their
affiliates.
The issuance of the Buyer Shares was not
registered under the Securities Act and the above referenced issuances qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act since the issuance of securities by us did not involve a public offering. The issuance was not a "public offering"
as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved, size of the offering, manner of the offering and
number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of
investors. In addition, Geronimo represented that it had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since Geronimo
agreed to and received securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to the Securities Act.
This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part
of a "public offering." Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction.
Pursuant to the terms of the Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreement dated February 9, 2012 by and among the Company, ASEN 2, Corp. ("ASEN 2"), Pentwater Equity Opportunities
Master Fund Ltd. and PWCM Master Fund Ltd. (collectively, "Pentwater"), Pentwater funded the second $10 million tranche
to the Company in order to close the transactions contemplated by the Agreement on the Closing Date.
The Company is affiliated with XOG and
Geronimo and has a working relationship with XOG, a seasoned exploration and production operator based in Midland, Texas. XOG is
currently contracted to operate the existing wells currently held by the Company in the Permian Basin region.  Randall
Capps has controlling ownership of XOG and Geronimo, and is a member of the Company's board of directors.  Through
Mr. Capps' direct and indirect holdings of the Company's Common Stock, after the closing of the acquisition, Mr. Capps
beneficially owns approximately 55% of the Company's Common Stock (prior to the closing of the acquisition, Mr. Capps beneficially
owned approximately 49% of the Company's Common Stock) and is the largest shareholder of the Company's Common Stock.  Mr.
Capps is also the father-in-law of Scott Feldhacker, the Company's chief executive officer and a director.
The Agreement and the related transactions
were approved by the Special Committee. The Special Committee also obtained a fairness opinion from Global Hunter Securities, LLC
that stated that the Consideration paid to the Sellers for the Properties was fair from a financial point of view to the
holders of the Common Stock of the Company, other than the affiliated parties.
Agreement regarding Secured Convertible
Promissory Note with Pentwater
On March 5, 2012, ASEN 2 and Pentwater
entered into an Agreement regarding a Secured Convertible Promissory Note pursuant to which ASEN 2 and Pentwater amended the terms
of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the "Pentwater Note") dated as of February 9, 2012 to change the maturity
date of the Pentwater Note from February 9, 2015 to December 1, 2013.
