ITEM 1.01    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On January 2, 2013, GMX Resources Inc. (the "Company") and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. entered into Amendment No. 3 (the "Rights Amendment") to the Rights Agreement dated as of May 17, 2005 between GMX Resources Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor rights agent to UMB Bank, n.a., as Rights Agent (the "Rights Plan").  The Rights Amendment amends the Rights Plan such that the number of preferred share purchase rights associated with each share of common stock then outstanding, or issued or delivered after the effective time of the Company's reverse stock split to be effective on January 3, 2013 (the "Reverse Stock Split"), shall not be proportionately adjusted in accordance with the Rights Plan.  As a result, one right will continue to be associated with each share of common stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
A copy of the Amendment is being filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3.03    MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
On January 2, 2013, the Company executed an Amendment to Certificate of Designation of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the "Designation Amendment").  The Designation Amendment amends the Certificate of Designation of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Company, dated May 16, 2005 such that no adjustment shall be made to the Adjustment Number (as defined therein) in connection with the Company's Reverse Stock Split effective on January 3, 2013.
The information included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
