Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Effective July 27, 2012, PEDEVCO Corp. (formerly Blast Energy Services, Inc.)(the “Company”, “we” and “us”) completed the transactions contemplated by the January 13, 2012, Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and between the Company, Blast Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary of the Company (“MergerCo”), and Pacific Energy Development Corp., a privately-held Nevada corporation (“PEDCO”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and effective July 27, 2012, MergerCo was merged with and into PEDCO, with PEDCO continuing as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in a transaction structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger and as described in greater detail below under Item 3.02, we issued former security holders of PEDCO 17,917,261 shares of common stock, 19,716,676 shares of new Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below), warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,120,000 shares of our common stock, warrants to purchase 692,584 shares of our new Series A Preferred Stock, and options to purchase 4,235,000 shares of our common stock.

Additionally, immediately prior to the Merger becoming effective, the shareholders of the Company, at the Meeting (described below under Item 5.07), approved an Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation and an Amended and Restated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Designation which: (i) converted all outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock into common stock of the Company on a one to one basis, and immediately thereafter, (ii) effectuated a one for one hundred and twelve (1:112) reverse stock split of the Company’s then outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split” and the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation”).

Furthermore, in connection with the Reverse Split and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation, the Company changed its name to “PEDEVCO Corp.”, and amended its Certificate of Formation, to affect various changes to its Certificate of Formation as described in greater detail in the proposals described in Item 5.07, below, including, but not limited to increasing the Company’s authorized capitalization to 300,000,000 shares of capital stock post-Reverse Split, which includes 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”); and 100,000,000 authorized shares of Preferred Stock, including 25,000,000 authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("new Series A Preferred Stock"), which shares were designated in connection with approval of and filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which amended and replaced the prior designation of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (which shares were automatically converted into shares of common stock in connection with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation).

Additional information regarding the Merger, the amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Formation which were effected pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation, and the business, assets, financial statements, operations, related transactions, and risk factors of PEDCO, which became the operations of the Company post-Merger, as well as information on the Company, post-Merger, can be found in the Company’s Definitive Schedule 14A Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3, 2012 (the “Proxy Statement”), and mailed to shareholders of record as of the June 27, 2012 record date for the Company’s July 27, 2012 special meeting of shareholders, which meeting is described in greater detail in Item 5.07, below.

As a result of the name change and Reverse Split described above, the Company’s trading symbol on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board will be changing to “BESVD”, effective August 3, 2012, for twenty (20) business days and will change to a new symbol (which has not yet been assigned) thereafter. The name change to PEDEVCO Corp. will also become effective with the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board on August 3, 2012. The Company plans to file another Form 8-K and release a press release at such time as the Company’s new trading symbol is known.

Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As described in greater detail below under Item 5.03, the Company’s new Series A Preferred Stock shareholders are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 6% of the “Original Issue Price” per share for the new Series A Preferred Stock, which is $0.75 per share (as appropriately adjusted for any recapitalizations). These dividends will only accrue and become payable if declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion.

Additionally, as described in greater detail in the Proxy Statement and the financial statements attached hereto, the Company assumed the liabilities, obligations and debts of PEDCO upon the closing of the Merger.

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As described in greater detail under Item 2.01 above, all of the Company’s outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock were automatically converted into shares of common stock on a one for one hundred and twelve (1:112) basis in connection with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation.

We claim an exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) for the above conversions, as the securities were exchanged by the Company with its existing security holder exclusively in transactions where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

In connection with the closing of the Merger (described above in Item 2.01), the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 17,917,261 shares of common stock and 19,716,676 shares of new Series A Preferred Stock to former shareholders of PEDCO. Additionally, the Company agreed to grant warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.08 per share; 500,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.25 per share; 500,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share; 20,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.75 per share, to former common stock warrant holders of PEDCO; and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 692,584 shares of new Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with an exercise price of $0.75 per share to former Series A Convertible Preferred Stock warrant holders of PEDCO; and options to purchase an aggregate of 470,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.08 per share; 365,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.10 per share; and 3,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.17 per share, to former option holders of PEDCO.

Additionally, promptly after the filing of this report, the Company intends to provide the debt holders who entered into Debt Conversion Agreements with the Company in January 2012, notice of the Company’s intent to convert such individuals’ and entities’ debt into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of $2.24 per post-Reverse Split share. We anticipate that approximately 214,787 shares of common stock will be issued to the various debt holders in connection with and pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreements.

The issuances and grants described above will be exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2), Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S of the Act since the foregoing issuances and grants will not involve a public offering, the recipients will take the securities for investment and not resale, the Company will take appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and the recipients will (a) be “accredited investors”; (b) have access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Act; and/or (c) be non-U.S. persons.

Item 3.03

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

-3-

Additionally, in connection with the designation of the new Series A Preferred Stock, described in greater detail below under Item 5.03, the Company designated an amended and restated series of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Item 5.01

Changes in Control of Registrant

Effective in connection with the closing of the Merger, a change in control of the Company occurred, and the former shareholders of PEDCO obtained voting control over the Company. The table below sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our securities after the effectiveness of the Merger, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation, the Reverse Stock Split and the issuance of shares of common stock, preferred stock, options and warrants to the former security holders of PEDCO by:

persons known by us to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent (5%) of our issued and outstanding common stock;

each of our executive officers and directors; and

all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Ownership voting percentages are based on 39,324,070 total voting shares which will be outstanding following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger and after affecting the Reverse Stock Split and other transactions set forth in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation, including the conversion of certain Company debt into common stock of the Company in connection with the Debt Conversion Agreements (which will become effective shortly after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K), and the issuance of approximately 10,268 shares of common stock of the Company in connection with a prior class action settlement which will be issued after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes voting and/or investing power with respect to securities. We believe that, except as otherwise noted and subject to applicable community property laws, each person named in the following table has sole investment and voting power with respect to the securities shown as beneficially owned by such person. Additionally, shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities that are currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the applicable date below, are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person or group holding such options, warrants or other convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person or group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group. Unless otherwise stated, the address of each shareholder is c/o PEDEVCO Corp., 4125 Blackhawk Plaza Circle, Suite 201, Danville, CA 94506.

Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

In connection with the Merger, the Company filed the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State of Texas to effect various changes to its Certificate of Formation as described in greater detail in the proposals described in Item 5.07, below, which was effective on July 30, 2012, and an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Amended and Restated Designation”), with the Secretary of State of Texas, which was effective on July 27, 2012.

A description of the rights of the Company’s Amended and Restated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Amended and Restated Designation is provided below:

Dividends

The holders of the shares of our new Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 6% of the “Original Issue Price” per share for the new Series A Preferred Stock, which is $0.75 per share (as appropriately adjusted for any recapitalizations). These dividends will only accrue and become payable if declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion. The right to receive dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not be cumulative, and no right to such dividends will accrue to holders of Series A Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that dividends on said shares are not declared or paid in any calendar year. All declared but unpaid dividends of the shares of new Series A Preferred Stock will be payable in cash upon conversion of such shares. Any dividends declared on our new Series A Preferred Stock will be prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividends or other distributions on our common stock.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of our new Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive distributions of any of our assets prior and in preference to the holders of our common stock in an amount per share of new Series A preferred stock equal to the sum of (i) the Original Issue Price of $0.75, and (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares of new Series A Preferred Stock.

-8-

If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, the assets of our Company legally available for distribution to the holders of our new Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts of their liquidation preferences, then the entire assets of our Company legally available for distribution will be distributed pro rata among the holders of our new Series A Preferred Stock, in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.

After the payment to the holders of our new Series A Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts specified above, the remaining assets of our Company legally available for distribution will be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of our common stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by them.

Conversion Rights

Each share of new Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible at the option of the holder into that number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of common stock determined by dividing the “Original Issue Price” for the new Series A preferred stock by the conversion price of $0.75 per share (subject to adjustment). Therefore, each share of new Series A Preferred Stock will initially be convertible into one share of our common stock. Upon any decrease or increase in the conversion price of the new Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares which each share of new Series A Preferred Stock will convert into will be appropriately increased or decreased.

Our shares of new Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock according to the conversion rate described above upon the first to occur of (i) the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock or (ii) the date on which the new Series A Preferred Stock issued on the original issuance date to holders who are not affiliates of the Company may be re-sold by such holders without registration in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or another similar exemption.

Redemption

We have no obligation to or rights to redeem the new Series A Preferred Stock.
