(the &ldquo;Committee&rdquo;) of American Standard Energy Corp. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) amended and restructured
the previously owned equity grants awarded to the Company&rsquo;s officers and directors. Accordingly, the Committee approved

officers, Scott Feldhacker to purchase 1,400,000 shares of common stock, Richard MacQueen to purchase 1,400,000 shares of
common stock and Scott Mahoney to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock, under the Company&rsquo;s Amended and Restated
2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the &ldquo;2010 Plan&rdquo;) that originally vested periodically through 2014, such that the 2010
Options are immediately exercisable. The exercise price, number of shares and expiration date of the 2010 Options remain
unchanged.</P>

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election
of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 30, 2012, the Compensation Committee
(the "Committee") of American Standard Energy Corp. (the "Company") amended and restructured
the previously owned equity grants awarded to the Company's officers and directors. Accordingly, the Committee approved
the acceleration of the vesting of  certain options (the "2010 Options") granted to our three executive
officers, Scott Feldhacker to purchase 1,400,000 shares of common stock, Richard MacQueen to purchase 1,400,000 shares of
common stock and Scott Mahoney to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock, under the Company's Amended and Restated
2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan") that originally vested periodically through 2014, such that the 2010
Options are immediately exercisable. The exercise price, number of shares and expiration date of the 2010 Options remain
unchanged.
Pursuant to letter agreements dated March 30, 2012, the Company
and Messrs. Feldhacker and MacQueen agreed to amend and restructure the terms of certain options, and the Committee unilaterally
approved the restructuring of certain other options (the "2011 Options") previously granted to certain officers, directors
and employees, as set forth in the table below. The expiration dates of the 2011 Options remain unchanged.
