Abstentions and withheld votes for directors will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, but will not be counted as a vote in favor of such matter.
A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares of common stock for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
Votes Required
• Election of Directors:  The election of each nominated director requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the annual meeting, in person or by proxy. Any shares not voted (whether by withholding the vote, broker non-vote or otherwise) have no impact in the election of a director.
• Approval of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan:  To be approved, this matter must receive the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of those shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. Broker non-votes and abstentions on this matter have no impact on this matter.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 

MeetingsBeneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank.If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should have received instructions for granting proxies with these proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. A number of brokers and Committeesbanks enable beneficial holders to give voting instructions via telephone or the internet. Please refer to the voting instructions provided by your bank or broker. To vote in person at the annual meeting, you must provide a valid proxy from your broker, bank, or other custodian. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.

If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will only be votedfor Proposal 4, andnotfor Proposals 1, 2 or 3. Thus, if you are not a record holder and hold your shares through a bank or broker, you must provide voting instructions to the record holder of the shares in accordance with its requirements in order for your shares to be properly voted for the following proposals: Proposal 1, the election of directors; Proposal 2, to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock by a ratio in the range of 1-for-8 and 1-for-11, as determined in the sole discretion of our Board of Directors; and Proposal 3, to approve the 2015 Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan and to reserve 5,000,000 shares for issuance under the Plan. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment.

If you beneficially own your shares in street name and you do not instruct your bank or broker how to vote on Proposals 1 through 3, no votes will be cast on your behalf at the annual meeting as to these proposals. Your bank or broker will, however, have discretion to vote any uninstructed shares on Proposal 4.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

If you return a proxy card that indicates an abstention from voting on all matters, the shares represented will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum, but they will not be voted on any matter at the annual meeting. Consequently, if you abstain from voting on Proposals 1 through 4, your abstention will have no effect on the outcome of the vote with respect to these proposals.

If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on which your broker may vote shares held in street name without your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. Under NYSE rules, any election of a member of the Board of Directors,

The board whether contested or uncontested, is considered “non-discretionary” and therefore brokers are not permitted to vote your shares held in street name for the election of directors held 10 meetings duringin the year ended December 31, 2005.
Audit Committee.  Infinity has an Audit Committee, comprisedabsence of Elliot M. Kaplan, Robert O. Lorenz,instructions from you. Each of Proposals 1, 2 and Leroy C. Richie, which held 8 meetings during 2005. Each member3 are “non-discretionary.” Therefore, if you hold your shares through a broker, nominee, fiduciary or other custodian, your shares will not be voted on those proposals unless you provide voting instructions to the record holder.

A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker expressly instructs on a proxy card that it is not voting on a matter, whether routine or non-routine. Broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but are not counted for determining the number of votes cast for or against a proposal. Your broker will have discretionary authority to vote your shares on Proposal 4 only.

Stockholder List

The stockholder list as of the Audit Committeerecord date will be available for examination by any stockholder at our corporate office, 11900 College Blvd., Suite 310, Overland Park, KS 66210, beginning September 3, 2015, which is independent as definedat least ten business days prior to the date of the annual meeting and the stockholder list will be available at the annual meeting.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

This solicitation of proxies is made by our Board of Directors, and we will bear all related costs. None of our directors intends to oppose any action for which stockholder approval is being solicited. In addition, we may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone or facsimile.

Our Voting Recommendations

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote:

FORthe three nominees to the Board of Directors;

Stockholders Sharing the Same Address

We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under this procedure, we are delivering only one copy of the annual report and proxy statement to multiple stockholders who share the same address, unless we have received contrary instructions from an affected stockholder. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

We will deliver, promptly upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the annual report and the proxy statement to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of either of those documents was delivered. To receive a separate copy of the annual report or proxy statement, you may write or call our Investor Relations Department at 11900 College Blvd., Suite 310, Overland Park, KS 66210, telephone (913) 948-9512. Any stockholders of record who share the same address and currently receive multiple copies of our annual report and proxy statement and who wish to receive only one copy of these materials per household in the NASDAQ listing standards. The Audit Committee reviewsfuture should contact our financial reporting process, systemInvestor Relations Department at the address or telephone number listed above to participate in the householding program.

A number of internal controls, audit process and processbrokerage firms have instituted householding. If you hold your shares in “street name,” please contact your bank, broker, or other holder of record to request information about householding.

Report of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Elliot M. Kaplan, Robert O. Lorenz, and Leroy C. Richie. The Committee is responsible for establishing and administering the compensation philosophy, policies, and plans for our non-employee directors and executive officers.
Infinity’s executive compensation philosophy is that compensation should largely be tied to our performance and the sustained creation of shareholder value. Infinity’s compensation programs are also designed to encourage share ownership. Infinity believes that share ownership effectively aligns the interests of executives with those of our shareholders.


10


In determining compensation levels for 2005, the Compensation Committee conducted a subjective evaluation of each officer’s performance and contributions to Infinity and also considered Infinity’s past performance, future prospects and long-term growth potential. Our executive compensation program consists of three principal components: base salary, stock option awards and discretionary bonus awards. These components are described below:
Base Salary.  Executive salaries were established initially at levels consistent with the salaries of industry peers of similar size and with similar growth prospects. The Committee considered the factors listed above, as well as increases in the cost of living as reported in various indices, in setting the level of base salary in 2005.
Stock Option Awards.  Infinity has several stock option plans under which executive officers may be granted options to purchase Infinity’s common shares. In determining the specific grants for 2005, the board of directors issued stock option grants consistent with our compensation philosophy of aligning the interests of executives with those of our shareholders and encouraging share ownership by executives as well as Infinity’s need to attract and retain key officers.
Discretionary Bonus Awards.  In determining discretionary bonus awards relating to 2005 performance, the Compensation Committee considered the factors listed above as well as the overall financial condition of Infinity. Discretionary bonuses aggregating $135,400, or approximately 18% of total executive salaries, were awarded to the Company’s five senior executives.
Chief Executive Officer’s 2005 Compensation.  Mr. Tuell’s base salary was increased from $162,000 to $190,000 in April 2005, in conjunction with the Committee’s annual review of officers’ salaries. In establishing Mr. Tuell’s salary for 2005, the Committee considered the factors listed above, as well as Mr. Tuell’s increasing responsibilities and his continued significant contributions to Infinity’s fundraising efforts.

Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which he served in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Our directors are expected, absent exceptional circumstances, to attend all Board meetings and meetings of committees on which they serve, and are also expected to attend our annual meeting of stockholders.

Board of Directors and Committee Meetings

Our directors are expected, absent exceptional circumstances, to attend all Board meetings.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We do not have Audit, Compensation or Nominating and Governance Committees. Our full Board of Directors discharges the duties that such committees would normally have. We do not have such committees because of our stage of operations and because our Board of Directors consists of only three members.

Our full Board is comprised of three Directors, one of whom is independent, as defined by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The members of our Board of Directors are Stanton E. Ross, Leroy C. Richie and Daniel F. Hutchins. The Board of Directors determined that Mr. Richie qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is independent as noted above.

Stanton E. Ross, Leroy C. Richie and Daniel F. Hutchins are the directors of the Company. Messrs. Ross and Hutchins are not considered “independent” in accordance with rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Richie is independent in accordance with the NASDAQ and SEC rules. We are currently traded on the OTCQB, which does not require that a majority of the board be independent. If we ever become an issuer whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or on an automated inter-dealer quotation system of a national securities association, which has independent director requirements, we intend to comply with all applicable requirements relating to director independence.

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services performed by the Company’s independent accountants must be approved in advance by the Board to assure that such services do not impair the accountants’ independence from the Company. Our full board of directors performs the equivalent functions of an audit committee, therefore, no policies or procedures other than those required by SEC rules on auditor independence, have been implemented.

Report of the Board of Directors Serving the Equivalent Functions of an Audit Committee

Review and Discussion with Management

Our Board has reviewed and discussed with management our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the process designed to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and our assessment of internal control over financial reporting.

Bradford & Company, our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2014 and 2013, the matters the Board, serving the equivalent functions of an audit committee, is required to discuss pursuant to Statement on AU 380 (Communication with Audit Committees), which includes, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of our financial statements.

Our Board also has received the written disclosures and the letter from RBSM, LLP and L.L. Bradford & Company required by PCAOB Rule 3526 and has discussed with such firm any relationships that may impact its independence, and satisfied itself as to the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

Conclusion

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Board, serving the equivalent functions of the audit committee, approved our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Board of Directors’ Role in the Oversight of Risk Management

We face a variety of risks, including credit, liquidity and operational risks. In fulfilling its risk oversight role, our Board of Directors focuses on the adequacy of our risk management process and overall risk management system. Our Board of Directors believes that an effective risk management system will (i) adequately identify the material risks that we face in a timely manner; (ii) implement appropriate risk management strategies that are responsive to our risk profile and specific material risk exposures; (iii) integrate consideration of risk and risk management into our business decision-making; and (iv) include policies and procedures that adequately transmit necessary information regarding material risks to senior executives and, as appropriate, to the Board or relevant committee.

Our Board of Directors oversees risk management for us. Accordingly, the Board schedules time for periodic review of risk management, in addition to its other duties. In this role, the Board receives reports from management, certified public accountants, outside legal counsel, and to the extent necessary, from other advisors, and strives to generate serious and thoughtful attention to our risk management process and system, the nature of the material risks we face, and the adequacy of our policies and procedures designed to respond to and mitigate these risks.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors has a Chairman of the Board. Our Board of Directors does not have a policy on whether or not the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors should be separate and, if they are to be separate, whether the Chairman of the Board should be selected from the non-employee directors or be an employee. Our Board of Directors believes that it should be free to make a choice from time to time in any manner that is in the best interests of us and our shareholders. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Ross’s service as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is in the best interests of us and our stockholders. Mr. Ross possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges we face and is thus best positioned to develop agendas, with the input of the other directors that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders, employees, customers and suppliers, particularly given the issues and other challenges the Company has faced in recent years. Our Board has determined that our Board leadership structure is appropriate given the size of our Board and the nature of our business.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by writing to us as follows: Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., attention: Corporate Secretary, 11900 College Blvd., Suite 310, Overland Park, KS 66210. Stockholders who would like their submission directed to a particular member of the Board of Directors may so specify and the communication will be forwarded as appropriate.

Process and Policy for Director Nominations

Our full Board will consider candidates for Board membership suggested by Board members, management and our stockholders. In evaluating the suitability of potential nominees for membership on the Board, the Board members will consider the Board’s current composition, including expertise, diversity, and balance of inside, outside and independent directors. The Board considers the general qualifications of the potential nominees, including integrity and honesty; recognized leadership in business or professional activity; a background and experience that will complement the talents of the other board members; the willingness and capability to take the time to actively participate in board and committee meetings and related activities; the extent to which the candidate possesses pertinent technological, political, business, financial or social/cultural expertise and experience; the absence of realistic possibilities of conflict of interest or legal prohibition; the ability to work well with the other directors; and the extent of the candidate’s familiarity with issues affecting our business.

While the Board considers diversity and variety of experiences and viewpoints to be important factors, it does not believe that a director nominee should be chosen solely or mainly because of race, color, gender, national origin or sexual identity or orientation. Thus, although diversity may be a consideration in the Board’s process, it does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees.

Stockholder Recommendations for Director Nominations.Our Board of Directors does not have a formal policy with respect to consideration of any director candidate recommendation by stockholders. While the Board of Directors may consider candidates recommended by stockholders, it has no requirement to do so. To date, no stockholder has recommended a candidate for nomination to the Board. Given that we have not received director nominations from stockholders in the past and that we do not canvass stockholders for such nominations, we believe it is appropriate not to have a formal policy in that regard. We do not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees.

Stockholder recommendations for director nominations may be submitted to the Company at the following address: Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., attention: Corporate Secretary, 11900 College Blvd., Suite 310, Overland Park, KS 66210. Such recommendations will be forwarded to the Board for consideration, provided that they are accompanied by sufficient information to permit the Board to evaluate the qualifications and experience of the nominees, and provided that they are in time for the Board to do an adequate evaluation of the candidate before the annual meeting of stockholders. The submission must be accomplished by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board of Directors and to serve if elected and to cooperate with a background check.

Stockholder Nominations of Directors.The bylaws of the Company provide that in order for a stockholder to nominate a director at an annual meeting, the stockholder must give timely, written notice to the Secretary of the Company and such notice must be received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the date of the meeting. Such stockholder’s notice shall include, with respect to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, all information relating to such person, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee, serving as a director, that is required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and cooperating with a background investigation. In addition, the stockholder must include in such notice his name and address, as they appear on the Company’s records, of the stockholder proposing the nomination of such person, and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder of record and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, and any material interest, relationship, arrangement or understanding that such stockholder of record and/or the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made may respectively have in such business or with such nominee. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated for election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary of the Company the information required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee.

If public disclosure of the date of the meeting is made less than 100 days prior to the date of the meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made. With respect to a special meeting called at the written request of stockholders, any notice submitted by a stockholder making the request must be provided simultaneously with such request.

Director Compensation

Our non-employee directors received the stock option grants noted in the section below entitled “Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grants to Directors” for their service on the Board of Directors in 2014.

Our Board of Directors terminated cash compensation to all non-employee Board members as part of the Company’s cost reduction program in previous years. The non-employee directors who attended Board meetings and meetings as members of various committees of the Board were reimbursed for their out-of-pocket costs in attending the meetings of the Board of Directors.

In 2014, non-employee members of the Board did not receive cash compensation for their services, but we reimbursed them for their out-of-pocket costs in attending the meetings of the Board of Directors.

PROPOSAL TWO

PROPOSAL TWO: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Summary

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved a proposal to effect a reverse split of all of our outstanding shares of Common Stock by a ratio in the range of 1-for-8 and 1-for-11. The proposal provides that our Board of Directors shall have sole discretion pursuant to Section 242(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law to set the exact ratio at a whole number within the above range as determined by our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion. Our Board of Directors believes that the availability of alternative reverse stock split ratios will provide it with the flexibility to implement the reverse stock split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for us and our stockholders. In determining whether to implement the reverse split following the receipt of stockholder approval, our Board of Directors may consider, among other things, factors such as:

the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock;
the then prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the reverse split on the trading market for our Common Stock;
the anticipated impact of the reverse split on our ability to raise additional financing; and
prevailing general market and economic conditions.

If our Board determines that effecting the reverse stock split is in our best interest, the reverse stock split will become effective upon filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The amendment will set forth the number of shares to be combined into one share of our Common Stock within the limits set forth in this proposal. Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each stockholder will hold the same percentage of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the reverse stock split as such stockholder holds immediately prior to the reverse split.

Certain of our officers and directors have an interest in the reverse stock split as a result of their ownership of Common Stock, as set forth in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

The text of the form of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, which would be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse stock split, is set forth in Appendix A to this proxy statement. The text of the form of amendment accompanying this proxy statement is, however, subject to amendment to reflect the exact ratio for the reverse stock split and any changes that may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or that the Board of Directors may determine to be necessary or advisable ultimately to comply with applicable law and to effect the reverse stock split.

Our Board of Directors believes that approval of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split is in best interests of us and our stockholders and has unanimously recommended that the proposed amendment be presented to our stockholders for approval.

Effective Date

If the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to give effect to the reverse stock split is approved at the Meeting and the Board of Directors determines to effect the reverse stock split, the reverse stock split will become effective on the effective date of the certificate of amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which we would expect to be the date of filing. We refer to this time and date as the “Effective Date.” As set forth below with respect to fractional shares, each issued share of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Date will automatically be changed, as of the Effective Date, into a fraction of a share of Common Stock based on the exchange ratio within the approved range determined by the Board of Directors.

Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split

The Board of Directors believes that a reverse stock split is advisable for two reasons. First, we are required under the terms of our May 2015 Private Placement, as defined below, to have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock reserved to satisfy our obligations to the investor in such Placement. Second, the Board of Directors believes that a reverse stock split could improve the marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock.

1. May 2015 Private Placement of Senior Secured Convertible Note and Warrants

On May 7, 2015, we completed a private placement (the “May 2015 Private Placement”) of a $12.0 million principal amount Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”) and warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 18,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value, with an investor (the “Investor”).

The Note and Warrant were issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 7, 2015, by and between us and the investor, who is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”). The May 2015 Private Placement was made pursuant to an exemption from registration under such Act. At the closing, the Investor acquired the Note by paying $450,000 in cash and issuing a secured promissory note, secured by cash, with an aggregate initial principal amount of $9,550,000 (the “Investor Note”). Assuming all amounts payable to us under the Investor Note are paid without any offset or default, the May 2015 Private Placement will result in gross proceeds of $10.0 million before Placement Agent fees and other expenses associated with the transaction, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We used the proceeds from the private placement to retire certain outstanding obligations, including the 2015 area and training fees relating to our Nicaraguan Concessions, and to provide working capital.

We will receive the remaining cash proceeds upon each voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Investor Note. The Investor may, at its option and at any time, voluntarily prepay the Investor Note, in whole or in part. The Investor Note is also subject to mandatory prepayment, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of one or more of the following mandatory prepayment events:

(i)Mandatory Prepayment upon Conversion – At any time the Investor has converted more than $2.0 million principal amount of the Note, representing the original issue discount of the Note, the Investor will be required to prepay the Investor Note, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for each subsequent conversion of the Note.

(ii)Mandatory Prepayment upon Mandatory Prepayment Notices – We may require the Investor to prepay the Investor Note by delivering a mandatory prepayment notice to the Investor, subject to (a) the satisfaction of certain equity conditions, (b) our receipt of all Governmental Authorizations, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, necessary to commence drilling on at least five Properties, also as defined in the Purchase Agreement, within the Nicaraguan Concessions, and (c) our obtaining forbearance agreements from certain third parties to whom we owe obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may not request a mandatory prepayment if after giving effect to such proposed mandatory prepayment, we and our subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, would hold more than $4.0 million in cash or if prepayment under the Investor Note for the preceding sixty calendar day period would exceed $2.0 million.

The Investor Note is a full recourse note against the Investor issuing it. The cash collateral securing the Investor Note has a fair market value equal to outstanding principal balance of the Investor Note as of the date of its issuance. The portion of the principal balance of the Convertible Note related to the corresponding portion of the principal balance of the Investor Note cannot be converted into common stock until such corresponding portion of principal amount of the Investor Note has been prepaid. The Investor Note also contains certain offset rights, which if executed, would reduce the amount outstanding under the Convertible Note and the Investor Note and the cash proceeds we receive.

15

Covenant Requiring the Company to Use its efforts to solicit its Stockholder’s Approval of an Increase in the number of Common Shares authorized in order to be able to reserve a Sufficient Number of Shares for the Investor in the May 2015 Private Placement.We are required to seek shareholder approval for an increase in the number of authorized common shares to allow for the reservation of 200% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the covenants included in the Securities Purchase Agreement, Note and Warrant. We are required to provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of our stockholders a proxy statement soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions providing for the increase of the authorized shares of our Common Stock available for conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant. We have determined to accomplish this through the reverse split rather than increasing the absolute number of our authorized shares. By effecting the reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, we will, in effect, be creating additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy our obligations to reserve an appropriate number of shares for future issuance to the Investor under the Note and Warrant.

Furthermore, we must use our reasonable best efforts to solicit our stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and to cause our Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions. If, despite our reasonable best efforts the stockholder approval is not obtained on or prior to September 18, 2015, we shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held on or prior to December 31, 2015. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts the stockholder approval is not obtained after such subsequent stockholder meetings, we shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held semi-annually thereafter until such stockholder approval is obtained.

If the stockholders approve this Proposal No. Two and we effect the reverse stock split, we will have fulfilled this covenant under the Note and Warrant.

Further Background to the May 2015 Private Placement

Description of the Convertible Note.The Note ranks senior to our existing and future indebtedness and is secured by all of our assets, excluding the Nicaraguan Concessions, and to the extent and as provided in the security documents attached hereto as Exhibits.

The Note is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Note matures on the three-year anniversary of the issuance date thereof. If we issue or sell shares of our common stock, rights to purchase shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into shares of our common stock for a price per share that is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, the then current Conversion Price will be decreased to equal such lower price. The foregoing adjustments to the Conversion Price for future stock issues will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to certain employee benefit plans. In addition, the Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes.

On the first business day of each month beginning on the earlier of the (i) effectiveness of a registration statement we file to register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrant, as defined below, or (ii) sixth month following the date of the Note through and including the maturity date (the “Installment Dates”), we will pay to the Investor an amount equal to (i) one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the original principal amount of the Note (or the principal outstanding on the Installment Date, if less) plus (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal plus (iii) the accrued and unpaid late charges (if any) with respect to such principal and interest. The Investor has the ability to defer or accelerate such monthly payments in its sole discretion.

Prior to the maturity date, the Note will bear interest at 8% per annum (or 18% per annum during an event of default) with interest payable in cash or in shares of common stock monthly on the first trading day of each month following the issuance date.

Each monthly payment may be made in cash, in shares of our common stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Our ability to make such payments with shares of our common stock will be subject to various equity conditions, including the existence of an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issued in payment (or, in the alternative, the eligibility of the shares issuable pursuant to the Note and the Warrant for sale without restriction under Rule 144 and without the need for us to remain current with our public filing obligations) and certain minimum trading price and trading volume. Such shares will be valued, as of the date on which notice is given by us that payment will be made in shares, at the lower of (1) the then applicable Conversion Price and (2) a price that is 80.0% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest weighted average prices of our common stock during the twenty-trading day period ending two trading days before the applicable determination date (the “Measurement Period”). If we elect to pay such monthly payment in shares of our common stock we are required to pre-deliver shares of our common stock and are required to deliver additional shares, if any, to a true-up such number of shares to the number of shares required to be delivered on the applicable Installment Date pursuant to the calculation above.

At any time after the issuance date, we will have the right to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest and any other charges at a price equal to 125% of such amount provided that (i) the arithmetic average of the closing sale price of the common stock for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days equals or exceeds 200% of the Conversion Price and (ii) among other conditions, there is an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issued in payment or, in the alternative, the eligibility of the shares issuable pursuant to the Note and the Warrant for sale without restriction under Rule 144 and without the need for us to remain current with our public filing obligations. The Investor has the right to convert any or all of the amount to be redeemed into common stock prior to redemption.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Note, the Investor, so long as the event of default is continuing, require us to redeem all or a portion of our Note. Each portion of the Note subject to such redemption must be redeemed by us, in cash, at a price equal to the greater of (1) 125% of the amount being redeemed, including principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and accrued and unpaid late charges, and (2) the product of (I) the amount being redeemed and (II) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the greatest closing sale price of the shares of common stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the event of default and ending on the date the holder delivers a redemption notice to us, by (B) the lowest Conversion Price in effect during such period.

Subject to certain conditions, the Investor may also require us to redeem all or a portion of our Note in connection with a transaction that results in a Change of Control, as defined in the Note. We must redeem each portion of the Note subject to such redemption in cash at a price equal to the greater of (1) 125% of the amount being redeemed (including principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and accrued and unpaid late charges), and (2) the product of (I) the amount being redeemed and (II) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the greatest closing sale price of the shares of common stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Change of Control and (ii) the public announcement of such Change of Control and ending on the date the holder delivers a redemption notice to the Company, by (B) the lowest Conversion Price in effect during such period.

17

Description of the Warrants. As a part of the May 2015 Private Placement, we issued a Warrant to the Investor giving it the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Warrant is exercisable commencing six months from the date of issuance and the exercise prices for the Warrant is subject to adjustment for certain events, such as stock splits and stock dividends. We also issued a Warrant to the Placement Agent of the May 2015 Private Placement exercisable to purchase 2,400,000 shares on the same terms, except it is exercisable upon issuance. If we issue or sell shares of our common stock, rights to purchase shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into shares of our common stock for a price per share that is less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price of the Warrants will be decreased to equal such lesser price. Upon each such adjustment, the number of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will increase proportionately. The foregoing adjustments to the exercise price for future stock issues will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to certain employee benefit plans. In addition, the Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. The Warrants will expire on the seventh (7th) anniversary of their date of issuance.

9.99% Restriction on Conversion of Note and Exercise of Warrants.The Investor has no right to convert the Note or exercise the Warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in the Investor being the beneficial owner in excess of 9.99% of our common stock. We are required to hold a meeting of its shareholders to approve increase the number of our authorized shares to meet our obligations under the Purchase Agreement to have reserved 200% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants not later than July 30, 2015.

Registration Rights Agreement.In connection with the May 2015 Private Placement, we and the Investor entered into a Registration Rights Agreement under which we are required, on or before 45 days after the closing of the Private Placement, to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the resale of 130% of the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the Note and Warrants and to use its best efforts to have the registration declared effective as soon as practicable. We will be subject to certain monetary penalties, as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, if the registration statement is not filed or does not remain available for the resale (subject to certain allowable grace periods) of the Registrable Securities, as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Participation Rights.If, during the period beginning on the closing date and ending on the four (4) year anniversary of the closing date, we offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of any of our or our subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities (a “Subsequent Placement”), the Investor will have the right to participate for 50% of any such future Subsequent Placement.

Approval by stockholders of this Proposal No. Two may result in an increase in the number of shares (i) that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the Note under the terms of the Note, (ii) that may be issued pursuant to the terms of the Warrant or (iii) through a Dilutive Issuance under the Purchase Agreement (which otherwise would not be possible because such issuances may exceed the current number of authorized shares of common stock).

The failure to obtain stockholder approval of this Proposal No. Two, which will increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, has the potential for future significant adverse consequences to the Company. If we fail to obtain stockholder approval of this Proposal, we are required to hold a second special meeting of stockholders by December 31, 2015 to once again seek approval. If we fail to obtain stockholder approval at such second meeting of stockholders, we are required to seek approval of this Proposal at subsequent meetings on a semi-annual basis until we obtain such approval.

Our failure to obtain stockholder approval for this Proposal has significant adverse consequences for us regarding certain provisions in the Note, Warrant and Purchase Agreement. As described above, we are permitted to make payments of principal and interest due under the Note in shares of our common stock provided we satisfy certain conditions. Under the current number of authorized shares of common stock, we may be unable to make use of this provision and would have to pay the amounts due in cash, which may, at any point, have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

In addition, if the Investor sends an exercise notice for us to issue shares of common stock under the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) and we are unable to comply because the issuance of shares would exceed the number of authorized common shares, then unless the Investor elects to void such exercise, the Investor may require us to pay cash within three trading days of the attempted exercise. Depending on our circumstances at such point, the requirement to pay the foregoing amount in cash may have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Finally, because we cannot make a “Dilutive Issuance” under the Purchase Agreement until we have stockholder approval of this Proposal, we would be unable to issue or commit to issue any shares of common stock for a consideration below the Conversion Price. Our inability to raise capital due to this restriction could, at a given point, have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

2. Improve the marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock.The second reason to pursue the reverse split is because we believe that the increased market price of our Common Stock expected as a result of implementing the reverse stock split will improve the marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock and will encourage interest and trading in our Common Stock. A reverse stock split could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in our stock (namely, funds that are prohibited from buying stocks whose price is below a certain threshold), potentially increasing the liquidity of our Common Stock. A reverse stock split could help increase analyst and broker interest in our stock as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our Common Stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. However, that the liquidity of our Common Stock may in fact be adversely affected by the proposed reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split.

For the foregoing reasons, we believe that providing the Board of Directors with the ability to effect the reverse stock split will help us satisfy the covenants to have a sufficient number of our shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance to the holder of the Note and the Warrant and could improve the marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock, and is therefore in the best interests of us and our stockholders. However, the Board of Directors reserves its right to abandon the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that it would no longer be in our and our stockholders’ best interests.

Risks of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split

We cannot assure you that the proposed reverse stock split will increase our stock price.The Board of Directors expects that a reverse stock split of our Common Stock will increase the market price of our Common Stock. However, we cannot predict the effect of a reverse stock split upon the market price of our Common Stock with any certainty, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in like circumstances is varied.

It is possible that the per share price of our Common Stock after the reverse stock split will not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding resulting from the reverse stock split, and the reverse stock split may not result in a per share price that would attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks. Even if we effect a reverse stock split, the market price of our Common Stock may decrease due to factors unrelated to the stock split. Further, the market price of our Common Stock may also be based on other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our future performance. If the reverse stock split is consummated and the trading price of the Common Stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the reverse stock split.

The proposed reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of our stock.The liquidity of our Common Stock may be harmed by the proposed reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. Additionally, investors might consider the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares to have an anti-takeover effect under certain circumstances, because the proportion allows for dilutive issuances that could prevent certain stockholders from changing the composition of the Board of Directors or render tender offers for a combination with another entity more difficult to successfully complete. The Board of Directors does not intend for the reverse stock split to have any anti-takeover effects.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

Common Stock.If this proposal is approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting and the Board of Directors determines to effect the reverse stock split and thus amend the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company will file a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Each issued share of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Date will automatically be changed, as of the Effective Date, into a fraction of a share of Common Stock based on the exchange ratio within the approved range determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, proportional adjustments will be made to the maximum number of shares issuable under, and other terms of, our stock plans, as well as to the number of shares issuable under, and the exercise price of, our outstanding options and warrants.

Because the reverse stock split would apply to all issued shares of our Common Stock, the proposed reverse stock split would not alter the relative rights and preferences of existing stockholders nor affect any stockholder’s proportionate equity interest in the Company (except for the effect of eliminating fractional shares). For example, a holder of 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split will generally continue to hold 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock immediately after the reverse stock split. Moreover, the number of stockholders of record will not be affected by the reverse stock split.

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant would likewise be reduced from their current levels to the extent of the reverse split.

Effect on Employee Plans, Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Convertible or Exchangeable Securities.Under the terms of the proposed 2015 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the 2015 Plan”) and our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, together, “the Plans,” the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, as applicable, will adjust the number of shares available for future grant under the Plans, the number of shares underlying outstanding awards, the exercise price per share of outstanding stock options, and other terms of outstanding awards issued pursuant to the Plans to equitably reflect the effects of the reverse stock split. Based upon the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board, proportionate adjustments are also generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, and any convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of Common Stock. This would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, and convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise, and approximately the same value of shares of Common Stock being delivered upon such exercise, exchange or conversion, immediately following the reverse stock split as was the case immediately preceding the reverse stock split. The number of shares subject to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units will be similarly adjusted, subject to our treatment of fractional shares. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities and our Plans will be adjusted proportionately based upon the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board, subject to our treatment of fractional shares.

20

Listing.Our shares of Common Stock currently quoted for trading on the OTCQB. The reverse stock split will not directly affect the listing of our Common Stock on the OTCQB, although we believe that a reverse stock split could potentially increase our stock price, our Common Stock will continue to be listed on the OTCQB under the symbol “IFNY,” although our Common Stock would have a new committee on uniform securities identification procedures (“CUSIP”) number, a number used to identify our Common Stock.

“Public Company” Status.Our Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) and 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and we are subject to the “public company” periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed reverse stock split will not affect our status as a public company or this registration under the Exchange Act. The reverse stock split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Odd Lot Transactions.It is likely that some of our stockholders will own “odd-lots” of less than 100 shares following a reverse stock split. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers, and generally may be more difficult than a “round lot” sale. Therefore, those stockholders who own less than 100 shares following a reverse stock split may be required to pay somewhat higher transaction costs and may experience some difficulties or delays should they then determine to sell their shares of Common Stock.

Authorized but Unissued Shares; Potential Anti-Takeover Effects.Our Certificate of Incorporation presently authorizes 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The reverse stock split would not change the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock or preferred stock as designated. Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock would decrease, the number of shares remaining available for issuance by us in the future would increase.

These additional shares would be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as issuances of Common Stock in connection with capital-raising transactions and acquisitions of companies or other assets, as well as for issuance upon conversion or exercise of securities such as the Note, Warrant, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, warrants or options convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock. We believe that the availability of the additional shares will provide us with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond effectively in a changing corporate environment. For example, we may elect to issue shares of Common Stock to raise equity capital, to make acquisitions through the use of stock, to establish strategic relationships with other companies, to adopt additional employee benefit plans or reserve additional shares for issuance under such plans, where the Board of Directors determines it advisable to do so, without the necessity of soliciting further stockholder approval, subject to applicable stockholder vote requirements under Delaware Corporation Law. If we issue additional shares for any of these purposes, the aggregate ownership interest of our current stockholders, and the interest of each such existing stockholder, would be diluted, possibly substantially.

The additional shares of our Common Stock that would become available for issuance upon an effective reverse stock split could also be used by us to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent a change of control or changes in or removal of our management, including any transaction that may be favored by a majority of our stockholders or in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. Although the increased proportion of authorized but unissued shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, the reverse stock split is not being proposed in order to respond to a hostile takeover attempt or to an attempt to obtain control of the Company.

Board Discretion to Implement or Abandon Reverse Stock Split

The reverse stock split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by our Board of Directors that the reverse stock split, with an exchange ratio determined by our Board as described above, is in our best interest. Such determination shall be based upon certain factors, including, but not limited to, the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock, the then prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the reverse split on the trading market for our Common Stock, the anticipated impact of the reverse split on our ability to raise additional financing; and prevailing general market and economic conditions. No further action on the part of stockholders would be required to either implement or abandon the reverse stock split.

If the stockholders approve the proposal, and the Board of Directors determines to effect the reverse stock split, we would communicate to the public, prior to the Effective Date, additional details regarding the reverse split, including the specific ratio selected by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors does not implement the reverse stock split prior to November 1, 2015, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the reverse stock split will terminate. The Board of Directors reserves its right to elect not to proceed with the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no longer in our best interests.

Fractional Shares

Stockholders will not receive fractional post-reverse stock split shares in connection with the reverse stock split. If, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would otherwise hold a fractional share, the number of shares to be received by such shareholder will be rounded up to the next whole number.

If you believe that you may not hold sufficient shares of our Common Stock at the Effective Date of the reverse stock split to receive at least one share in the reverse stock split and you want to continue to hold our Common Stock after the split, you may do so by either:

purchasing a sufficient number of shares of our Common Stock; or
if you have shares of our Common Stock in more than one account, consolidating your accounts,

so that in each case you hold a number of shares of our Common Stock in your account prior to the reverse stock split that would entitle you to receive at least one share of our Common Stock on a post-reverse stock split basis. Shares of Common Stock held in registered form (that is, stock held by you in your own name in our stock register records maintained by our transfer agent) and stock held in “street name” (that is, stock held by you through a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization) for the same investor will be considered held in separate accounts and will not be aggregated when effecting the reverse stock split.

No Dissenters’ Rights

Under Delaware law, our stockholders would not be entitled to dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal in connection with the implementation of the reverse stock split, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split. It does not address any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences, which, depending upon the jurisdiction and the status of the stockholder/taxpayer, may vary from the United States federal income tax consequences. It applies to you only if you held pre-reverse stock split Common Stock as capital assets for United States federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as (a) a dealer in securities or currencies, (b) a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings, (c) a bank, (d) a life insurance company, (e) a tax-exempt organization, (f) a person that owns shares of Common Stock that are a hedge, or that are hedged, against interest rate risks, (g) a person who owns shares of Common Stock as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes or (h) a person whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar. The discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), its legislative history, existing, temporary and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as of the date hereof. These laws, regulations and other guidance are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of a reverse stock split.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

Tax Consequences to United States Holders of Common Stock. A United States holder, as used herein, is a stockholder who or that is, for United States federal income tax purposes: (a) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (b) a domestic corporation, (c) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (d) a trust, if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust. This discussion applies only to United States holders.

No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholder’s exchange of pre-reverse stock split shares for post-reverse stock split shares pursuant to the reverse stock split, except to the extent of cash received in lieu of a fractional share. The aggregate adjusted basis of the post-reverse stock split shares of Common Stock received will be the same as the aggregate adjusted basis of the Common Stock exchanged for such new shares, increased by any gain realized as a result of the cash received in lieu of a fractional share, as discussed below, and reduced by the amount of cash received. The stockholder’s holding period for the post-reverse stock split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-reverse stock split shares surrendered.

Accounting Consequences

Following the Effective Date of the reverse stock split, if any, the net income or loss and net book value per share of Common Stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of the Common Stock outstanding. We do not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the reverse stock split.

As of the Effective Date, each certificate representing shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the reverse stock split will be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares of our Common Stock resulting from the reverse stock split. All shares underlying options, warrants and other securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock also automatically will be adjusted on the Effective Date.

Our transfer agent, Action Stock Transfer Corporation, will act as the exchange agent for purposes of exchanging stock certificates subsequent to the reverse stock split. Shortly after the Effective Date, stockholders of record will receive written instructions requesting them to complete and return a letter of transmittal and surrender their old stock certificates for new stock certificates reflecting the adjusted number of shares as a result of the reverse stock split. Certificates representing shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the reverse stock split will continue to bear the same restrictive legends, if any, that were borne by the surrendered certificates representing the shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the reverse stock split. No new certificates will be issued until such stockholder has surrendered any outstanding certificates, together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent. Until surrendered, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock outstanding before the reverse stock split would continue to be valid and would represent the adjusted number of shares, based on the ratio of the reverse stock split.

Any stockholder whose stock certificates are lost, destroyed or stolen will be entitled to a new certificate or certificates representing post-reverse stock split shares upon compliance with the requirements that we and our transfer agent customarily apply in connection with lost, destroyed or stolen certificates. Instructions as to lost, destroyed or stolen certificates will be included in the letter of instructions from the exchange agent.

Upon the reverse stock split, we intend to treat stockholders holding our Common Stock in “street name,” through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers and other nominees will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their beneficial holders holding our Common Stock in “street name.” However, such banks, brokers and other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the reverse stock split. If you hold your shares in “street name” with a bank, broker or other nominee, and if you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your bank, broker or nominee.

YOU SHOULD NOT DESTROY YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES AND YOU SHOULD NOT SEND THEM NOW. YOU SHOULD SEND YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE EXCHANGE AGENT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE INSTRUCTIONS.

If any certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificates for shares of Common Stock surrendered are registered, the stockholder requesting the reissuance will be required to pay to us any transfer taxes or establish to our satisfaction that such taxes have been paid or are not payable and, in addition, (a) the transfer must comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (b) the surrendered certificate must be properly endorsed and otherwise be in proper form for transfer.

Book-Entry

The Company’s registered stockholders may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of our Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares of our Common Stock registered in their accounts.

If you hold registered shares of our Common Stock in book-entry form, you do not need to take any action to receive your post-reverse stock split shares of our Common Stock in registered book-entry form or your cash payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, if applicable.
If you are entitled to post-reverse stock split shares of our Common Stock, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to your address of record by our transfer agent as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of the reverse stock split indicating the number of shares of our common stock you hold.
If you are entitled to a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, a check will be mailed to you at your address of record as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of the reverse stock split. By signing and cashing this check, you will warrant that you owned the shares of our Common Stock for which you received a cash payment. See “Fractional Shares” above for additional information.

APPROVAL OF 2006 EQUITY INCENTIVETO APPROVE THE 2015 INFINITY ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN AND TO RESERVE 5,000,000 SHARES FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE PLAN.

At

The Company is seeking stockholder approval for the 2015 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2015 Plan”) including the reservation of 5,000,000 shares issuable under the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on July 14, 2015, subject to stockholder approval at the annual meeting, shareholdersmeeting. Accordingly, no grants of options have been made under the 2015 Plan to date. If our stockholders approve the 2015 Plan, 5,000,000 shares will be asked to approveavailable for future grants. Such number will be reduced if the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was adopted, subject to shareholder approval, bystockholders adopt the boardProposal Two in the ratio of directors in March 2006. the reverse split of our Common Stock.

The 2006purpose of the 2015 Plan is attached hereto as Appendix Ato offer all of our employees, directors, and the following summary description is qualifiedkey consultants an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in its entirety by referenceour success, and remain in service to the 2006 Plan.

As described in the table on page 8 of this proxy statement, Infinity has existing equity incentive plans under which stock options or restricted shares may be grantedCompany and to attract new employees, directors and consultants. IfThe 2015 Plan provides both for the 2006 Plan is approved by shareholders, Infinity contemplates that future awards may bedirect award of shares, for the grant of options to purchase shares, as well as for the grant of Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). Options granted under the 20062015 Plan or under any or all of the other unexpired plans.
Description of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan
The purposes of the 2006 Plan are to provide long-term incentives to Infinity’s officers, directors, employees and consultants to exert maximum efforts for the success of Infinity and to attract and retain the services of key individuals. The 2006 Plan provides for an aggregate of four hundred seventy thousand (470,000) shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) to be available for issuance. Based on the closing price of our Common Stock on April 27, 2006 of $7.59, the market value of the 470,000 shares was $3,567,000. The 2006 Plan will be terminated no later than May 23, 2016.
The 2006 Plan permits the award of stockmay include non-statutory options or restricted shares to any employee, officer, director or consultant of Infinity. Infinity currently has five directors and approximately 145 full-time employees.
The 2006 Plan will be administered by the board of directors, or one or more committees appointed by the board of directors. (The appropriate acting body, be it the board of directors or a committee within its delegated authority is referred to in this proposal as the “Administrator”). Subject to the terms of the 2006 Plan, the Administrator determines the persons to whom stock options or restricted shares are granted, the number of shares granted, the vesting schedule, if any, and the type of consideration to be paid to Infinity upon the exercise of stock options.
The Administrator may grant bothwell as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue CodeCode.

The Company has a policy of 1986, as amended, and non-statutoryissuing new shares upon the exercise of stock options, (“NSOs”)awarding significant amounts of stock options or restricted stock grants to new employees and regularly awarding such to employees on an annual basis. Stock options are generally granted at the market price on the date of grant. Stock options and restricted stock grants have generally vested over one or more years for officers and employees, and one year for directors. Stock options generally can be exercised within seven to ten years.

The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders for the Company to approve the 2015 Plan. There are relatively few shares available for grant under the existing stock option plans of the Company. The Board believes that equity awards assist in retaining, motivating and rewarding employees, executives and consultants by giving them an opportunity to obtain long-term equity participation in the Company. In addition, equity awards are an important contributor to aligning the incentives of the Company’s employees with the interests of our stockholders. The Board also believes equity awards are essential to attracting new employees and retaining current employees. Further, the granting of options to new and existing employees frequently permits the Company to pay lower salaries than otherwise might be the case. The Board of Directors believes that to remain competitive with other technology companies in our long-term incentive plans, the Company must continue to provide employees with the opportunity to obtain equity in the Company and that an inability to offer equity incentives to new and current employees would put the Company at a competitive disadvantage in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. Our named executive officers and directors have an interest in this proposal because they are expected to receive awards under the 2015 Plan if it is approved at the annual meeting.

Vote Required and Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast will be required to approve the 2015 Plan.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote

FOR the approval of the 2015 Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan.

Summary of the 2015 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan

Our Board of Directors adopted the 2015 Plan on July 14, 2015. At the annual meeting, we are asking stockholders to approve the 2015 Plan and the reservation of 5,000,000 shares issuable under the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan authorizes us to issue 5,000,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of options and grant of restricted stock awards. No options have been granted under the 2015 Plan to date. The 2015 Plan authorizes us to grant (i) to the key employees incentive stock options to purchase shares of common stock and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock and restricted stock awards and (ii) to non-employee directors, attorneys and consultants non-qualified stock options and restricted stock. As of July 15, 2015, the Company had only two employees both of which are executive officers, and one non-employee director who were eligible to participate in the 2015 Plan. The Company expects that it will begin hiring new employees and consultants as exploration and development of the Nicaraguan Concessions progress.

The following paragraphs provide a summary of the principal features of the 2015 Plan and its operation. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2015 Plan as set forth inAppendix B.

Objectives.The objective of the 2015 Plan is to provide incentives to our key employees, directors and consultants to achieve financial results aimed at increasing shareholder value and attracting talented individuals to us. Persons eligible to be granted stock options or restricted stock under the 2015 Plan will be those persons whose performance, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, can have significant impact on our success.

Oversight. ISOsOur Board will administer the 2015 Plan by making determinations regarding the persons to whom options or restricted stock should be granted and the amount, terms, conditions and restrictions of the awards. The Board also has the authority to interpret the provisions of the 2015 Plan and to establish and amend rules for its administration subject to the 2015 Plan’s limitations.

Number of Shares of Common Stock Available Under the 2015 Plan.If our stockholders approve the 2015 Plan, a total of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock will be reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan.

Types of Grants.The 2015 Plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards. The 2015 Plan does not specify what portion of the awards may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory options or restricted stock. Incentive stock options awarded to our employees are qualified stock options under the Internal Revenue Code.

Statutory Conditions on Stock Option—Exercise Price.Incentive stock options granted only to persons who are employees of Infinity, while NSOs may also be granted to persons who are directors or

consultants. Each optionunder the 2015 Plan must be granted athave an exercise price of no less thanat least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock oncommon stock as of the date of the grant. The exercise price of ISOs which areIncentive stock options granted to a holder ofany person who owns, immediately after the grant, stock possessing more than 10% of the Common Stock must be equalcombined voting power of all classes of our stock, or greater than 110% of fair market value. Any option granted under the 2006 Plan generallyany parent or subsidiary corporation, must have a term no greater than ten years but the terman exercise price at least equal to 110% of an ISO granted to a holder of more than 10% of the Common Stock cannot exceed five years. The Administrator may also grant awards constituting shares of restricted stock on such terms as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2006 Plan.
The board of directors may, at any time and from time to time, amend the 2006 Plan in any respect provided that no such amendment may become effective without approval of the shareholders if shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy statutory or regulatory requirements, the rules of the NASD or if the board determines that shareholder approval is otherwise necessary or desirable. No amendment shall adversely affect any option holder’s rights and obligations with respect to outstanding stock options under the 2006 Plan without the consent of such award holders.
Any future benefits under the 2006 Plan will depend on Infinity’s performance and decisions of the Administrator regarding the granting of stock options and restricted shares as well as the fair market value of the Common Stockcommon stock on the date of grant. Non-statutory stock options may have an exercise price at various future dates. As a result,least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of the grant.

Dollar limit.The aggregate fair market value, determined as of the time an incentive stock option is granted, of the common stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable by an employee for the first time during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. However, there is no aggregate dollar limitation on the amount of non-statutory stock options that may be exercisable for the first time during any calendar year.

● Expiration date. Any option granted under the 2015 Plan will expire at the time fixed by our Board of Directors, which cannot be more than ten years after the date it is granted or, in the case of any person who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock or of any subsidiary corporation, not possiblemore than five years after the date of grant.

● Exercisability.Our Board may also specify when all or part of an option becomes exercisable, but in the absence of such specification, the option will ordinarily be exercisable in whole or in part at any time during its term. However, the board of directors may accelerate the exercisability of any option at its discretion.

● Assignability.Options granted under the 2015 Plan are not assignable. Incentive stock options may be exercised only while we employ the optionee or within twelve months after termination by reason of death or disabilities or within three months after termination for any other reason.

Payment upon Exercise of Options.Payment of the exercise price for any option may be in cash, or with our consent, by withheld shares which, upon exercise, have a fair market value at the time the option is exercised equal to determine the benefitsoption price (plus applicable withholding tax) or in the form of shares of common stock, subject to restrictions.

Restricted Stock.Our Board is authorized to grant restricted stock awards. A restricted stock grant is a grant of shares of our common stock, which is subject to restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions and which may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment or service prior to the end of a restricted period specified by the Board of Directors. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a stockholder, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee.

Merger or Sale of Assets. If we merge with or into another corporation, or sell all or substantially all of our assets, any unvested Awards will vest immediately prior to closing of the event resulting in the change of control, and the Board shall have the power and discretion to provide for each award holder’s election alternatives regarding the terms and conditions for the exercise of such awards. The alternative may provide that each outstanding stock option and restricted stock award will be receivedassumed or substituted for by directors, employeesthe successor corporation (or a parent or subsidiary or such successor corporation). If there is no assumption or substitution of outstanding awards, the administrator will provide notice to the recipient of their alternatives regarding their right to exercise the stock option as to all of the shares subject to the stock option.

Amendment and consultants ifTermination of the 2015 Plan.The administrator has the authority to amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the 2015 Plan, except that stockholder approval will be required for any amendment to the 2015 Plan to the extent required by any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule. Any amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination will not, without the consent of the participant, materially adversely affect any rights or obligations under any stock option or restricted stock award previously granted. The 2015 Plan has a term of ten (10) years beginning July 14, 2015, unless terminated earlier by the administrator.

Recent Stock Option and Restricted Stock Award Grants to Employees, Consultants, and Directors

In May 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan is(the “2006 Plan”), under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 470,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. In June 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 475,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan. Options granted under the 2005 Plan and 2006 Plan allow for the purchase of common stock at prices not less than the fair market value of such stock at the date of grant, become exercisable immediately or as directed by the shareholders.

Federal Income Tax Consequences
Company’s Board of Directors and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. The Company also has other equity incentive plans with terms similar to the 2005 and 2006 Plans. As of December 31, 2014, 136,500 shares were available for future grants under all plans.

The number of stock options and restricted stock awards that an employee, director, or consultant may receive under our Plans is in the discretion of the administrator and therefore cannot be determined in advance, although the Board of Directors’ policy for 2014 was to grant our outside director 150,000 options to purchase common shares, our Chairman, CEO and President 600,000 options to purchase common shares and our CFO and Secretary 150,000 options to acquire common shares that contain a $3.00 exercise price and vest over a two-year period.

Federal Tax Aspects

The following summary is a generalbrief discussion of certain federal income tax consequences to U.S. taxpayers and to the Company of stock option and restricted stock awards granted under the 2015 Plan. This summary is not intended to be a complete discussion of all of the federal income tax consequences that may apply to recipients of the awards under the 2006 Plan.Because application2015 Plan or of all of the tax laws varies accordingrequirements that must be met in order to individual circumstances, a participant should seek professional tax advice concerningqualify for the tax treatment described below. The following summary is based upon the provisions of U.S. federal tax law as in effect on the date hereof, which is subject to change (perhaps with retroactive effect), and does not constitute tax advice. In addition, because tax consequences may vary, and certain exceptions to the general rules discussed in this summary may be applicable, depending upon the personal circumstances of individual recipients and each recipient should consider his or her participation in the 2006 Plan, including the potential applicationpersonal situation and effect of state, local and foreignconsult with his or her own tax laws and estate and gift tax considerations.

Incentive Stock Options.  A participant who is granted an ISO recognizes no taxable income when the ISO is granted. Generally, a participant will not recognize taxable income upon exercise of an ISO for regular income tax purposes, but generally will recognize taxable income upon the exercise of an ISO for alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) purposes (see below). A participant who exercises an ISO will recognize taxable gain or loss upon the sale of the shares underlying the option. Any gain or loss recognized on the sale of shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO is taxed as capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year after the option was exercised and for more than two years after the option was granted. If the participant disposes of the shares before the required holding periods have elapsed (a “disqualifying disposition”), the participant is taxed as though he or she had exercised an NSO, except that the ordinary income on exercise of the option is recognized in the year of the disqualifying disposition and generally is the lesser of the original spread upon exercise or the excess of the amount realized in the sale of the stock over the original option price. We will not be entitled to a deductionadvisor with respect to the ISOspecific tax consequences applicable to him or her. The following assumes stock options have been granted at an exercise price per share at least equal to 100% of the ISO shares.
Alternative Minimum Tax.  The exercisefair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Tax consequences of nonqualified stock options. In general, an ISO may result in tax liabilityemployee, director or consultant will not recognize income at the time of the grant of nonqualified options under the AMT. The AMT provides for additional tax2015 Plan. When an optionee exercises a nonqualified stock option, he or she generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of (a) 26%the fair market value (determined on the day of exercise) of the shares of the common stock received over the option exercise price. The tax basis of such shares to the optionee will be equal to the exercise price paid plus the amount of ordinary income includible in his or 28%her gross income at the time of “alternative minimum taxable income” in excessthe exercise. Upon a subsequent sale or exchange of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a certain exemptionnonqualified stock option, the optionee will have taxable capital gain or loss, measured by the difference between the amount over (b) regularrealized on the sale or exchange and the tax basis of the shares. The capital gain or loss will be short-term or long-term depending on holding period of the shares sold.

Tax consequences of incentive stock options. In general, an employee will not recognize income on the grant of incentive stock options under the 2015 Plan. Except with respect to the alternative minimum tax, an optionee will not recognize income on the exercise of an incentive stock option unless the option exercise price is paid with stock acquired on the exercise of an incentive stock option and the following holding period for the taxable year.such stock has not been satisfied. For purposes of calculatingthe alternative minimum tax, however, an optionee will be required to treat an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value (determined on the day of exercise) of our shares of the common stock received and the exercise price as an item of adjustment in computing the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income, an ISO is treated as if it were an NSO, soincome.

An optionee will recognize long-term capital gain or loss on a sale of the shares acquired on exercise, provided the shares acquired are not sold or otherwise disposed of before the earlier of: (i) two years from the date of grant of the option, or (ii) one year from the date of exercise of the option. In general, the amount of gain or loss will equal the difference, if any, between the sale price of such shares and the exercise price. If the stock is not held for the required period of time, the optionee will recognize ordinary income to the extent the fair market value (determined on the day of exercise) of the stock exceeds the option price, but limited to the gain recognized on sale. The balance of any such gain will be a short-term or long-term capital gain (depending on the applicable holding period).

For the exercise of a stock option to qualify for the foregoing incentive stock option tax treatment, an optionee generally must be an employee of the Company continuously from the date of the grant until any termination of employment, and in the event of a termination of employment, the stock option must be exercised within three months after the termination.

Tax consequences of restricted stock awards. In general, the recipient of a stock award that is not subject to restrictions will recognize ordinary income at the time the shares are received equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares received over the amount, if any, the recipient paid in exchange for the shares. If, however, the shares are subject to vesting or other restrictions (that is, they are nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture) when the shares are granted (for example, if the employee is required to work for a period of time in order to have the right to sell the stock), the recipient generally will not recognize income until the shares becomes vested or the restrictions otherwise lapse, at which time the recipient will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the option price will be deemed to be income for this purpose and the taxpayer will hold the shares with a tax basis equal to such fair market value onvesting (or the date of exercisethe lapse of a restriction) less the amount, if any, the recipient paid in exchange for subsequent AMT purposes.

Non-Statutory Stock Options.  The tax treatment of NSOs differs significantly from the tax treatment of ISOs. No taxable income is recognized when an NSO is granted but, upon the exercise of an NSO, the difference between the fair market value of the shares underlying the option on the award date of exercise (or up to 6 months laterless the amount, if any, the recipient paid in exchange for the shares.

Special rules may limit the deductibility of compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and to each of its four most highly compensated executive officers under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the grant, with a copy to Infinity. We generally are entitled to deduct an amount equalCode to the income recognized by the grantee at the time the grantee recognizes the income.

Withholding.  Infinity may be requiredextent that annual compensation paid to withhold federal, state or local taxes in connection with any share option or other award under the 2006 Plan, including, but not limited to, withholding of any portion of any payment or withholding from other compensation payable to the participant, unless such person reimburses Infinity for such amount.
Change of Control.  If there is an acceleration of the exercisability of options upon a change of control, all or a portion of the accelerated awards may constitute “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code. Generally an employee receiving an excess parachute payment incurs an excise tax of 20% of the amount of the payment in excess of the employee’s average annual compensation over the five calendar years preceding the year of the change of control and Infinity is not entitled to a deduction for such excess amount.

IT DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE, AND DOES NOT DISCUSS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A RECIPIENT’S DEATH OR THE PROVISIONS OF THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY STATE OR FOREIGN COUNTRY IN WHICH THE RECIPIENT MAY RESIDE. THE FOREGOING SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND IT CANNOT BE USED BY ANY TAXPAYER, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON THE TAXPAYER.

Any future benefits under the 2006 Plan will depend on Infinity’s performance and decisions of the Compensation Committee or the Administrator, as applicable, regarding the granting of stock options and/or restricted shares, as well as the fair market value of the Common Stock at various future dates. As a result, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received by directors, officers and key employees under the 2006 Plan if it is approved by shareholders. Because Infinity had other similar equity incentive plans in effect in 2005, 2005 compensation of the directors and employees would not have been impacted if the 2006 Plan was effective prior to the beginning of the 2005 fiscal year.
Approval of the 2006 Plan will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock of Infinity represented in person or by proxy at the meeting.

Compensation Policies and Objectives

We structure compensation for executive officers, including the named executive officers, to drive performance, to accomplish both our short-term and long-term objectives, and to enable us to attract, retain and motivate well qualified executives by offering competitive compensation and by rewarding superior performance. We also seek to link our executives’ total compensation to the interests of our shareholders. To accomplish this, our board of directors relies on the following elements of compensation, each of which is discussed in more detail below:

salary;
annual performance-based cash awards;
equity incentives in the form of stock and/or stock options; and
other benefits.

Our board of directors believes that our executive compensation package, consisting of these components, is comparable to the compensation provided in the market in which we compete for executive talent and is critical to accomplishing our recruitment and retention aims.

In setting the amounts of each component of an executive’s compensation and considering the overall compensation package, the Committee generally considers the following factors:

Benchmarking—For executive officers, the board of directors considers the level of compensation paid to individuals in comparable executive positions of other oil and gas exploration and production companies of a similar size. The board of directors believes that these companies are the most appropriate for review because they are representative of the types of companies with which we compete to recruit and retain executive talent. The information reviewed by the board of directors pursuantincludes data on salary, annual and long-term cash incentive bonuses and equity compensation, as well as total compensation.

Internal Equity—The board of directors considers the salary level for each executive officer and each position in overall management in order to reflect their relative value to us.

Individual Performance—The board of directors considers the recommendationindividual responsibilities and performance of each named executive officer, which is based in part on the board of directors’ assessment of that individual’s performance as well as the evaluation of the Audit Committeeindividual by the Chief Executive Officer.

All executive officers are eligible for annual cash bonuses and equity incentive awards that reinforce the relationship between pay and performance by conditioning compensation on the achievement of the Company’s short- and long-term financial and operating goals, including operating profits, reserve finding costs, and growth in the Company’s daily oil and gas production and estimated proved, probable and possible recoverable oil and gas reserves.

Components of Executive Compensation

The following provides an analysis of each element of compensation, what each element is designed to serve as our independent accountants for the current year. At the direction ofreward and why the board of directors this appointmentchose to include it as an element of our executive compensation.

Salaries

Salaries for executive officers are intended to incentivize the officers to focus on executing the Company’s day-to-day business and are reviewed annually. Changes are typically effective in April of each year and are based on the factors discussed above. Compensation arrangements with Mr. Hutchins were determined through arms-length negotiations.

Annual Bonuses

The awarding of annual bonuses to executives is being presentedat the Committee’s discretion. The objective of the annual bonus element of compensation is to align the interest of executive officers with the achievement of superior Company performance for the year and also to encourage and reward extraordinary individual performance. In light of the Company’s operating results for 2014 and 2013, the Committee determined that it was appropriate not to grant annual bonuses to the executive officers for 2014 and 2013.

Stock Options

Including an equity component in executive compensation closely aligns the interests of the executives and our shareholders and rewards executives consistent with shareholder gains. Stock options produce value for ratification or rejectionexecutives only if our stock price increases over the exercise price, which is set at the market price on the date of grant. Also, through vesting and forfeiture provisions, stock options serve to encourage executive officers to remain with the Company. Awards made other than pursuant to the annual meetingequity grants are typically made to newly hired or recently promoted employees.

In determining the stock option grants for Messrs. Ross and Hutchins, the Board considered the number of shareholders. Ifoptions previously granted that remained outstanding, the shareholders donumber and value of shares underlying the options being granted and the related effect on dilution. The Board also took into account the number of shares that remained available for grant under our stock incentive plans. Messrs. Ross and Hutchins were not ratifygranted stock options during the appointmentyear ended December 31, 2013. Messrs. Ross and Hutchins were granted option to purchase 600,000 and 150,000 shares of Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman, P.C.,common stock, respectively, during the Audit Committee may reconsider, but willyear ended December 31, 2014.

Stock Option Plans

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

In May 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 470,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. In June 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 475,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan. Options granted under the 2005 Plan and 2006 Plan allow for the purchase of common stock at prices not less than the fair market value of such stock at the date of grant, become exercisable immediately or as directed by the Company’s Board of Directors and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. The Company also has other equity incentive plans with terms similar to the 2005 and 2006 Plans. As of December 31, 2014, a total of 136,500 shares were available for future grants under all plans.

The Company currently does not have any employees other than the principal accountant’s full-time permanent employees.

CEO and CFO. Certain general and administrative services (for which payment is deferred) has been provided by the CFO’s accounting firm at its standard billing rates plus out-of-pocket expenses and consist primarily of accounting, tax and other administrative fees. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company was billed $0 for such services. The affirmative voteamount due to the CFO’s firm for services provided was $767,407 at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and is included in accrued liabilities at both dates.

On June 6, 2009 the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with the Messrs. Ross, Hutchins and Richie for services provided. Infinity assigned to the officers and directors a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the holdershydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for officers and directors.

The Company entered into a subordinated loan with Off-Shore in the aggregate amount of $1,275,000 for funds used to maintain the Nicaraguan Concessions. This note was satisfied by the Company’s issuance of shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock effective April 13, 2012 to Off-Shore (see Note 3) and the conversion of the Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock effective February 28, 2014. The managing partner of Off-Shore and the CFO are partners in the accounting firm which the Company uses for general corporate purposes. In the February 2014 transaction, Offshore exchanged all of its 15,016 shares of Series B preferred stock for 375,400 shares of common stock. Each share of Series B preferred had a liquidation and par value of $100. The Company also issued Offshore an additional 45,048 shares of common stock for $180,192, the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B preferred stock as of the effective date of the transaction. As a result, the Company issued a total of 420,448 shares of common stock valued at $4.00 per share for a total of $1,681,792, which has been reflected as common stock and additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the aforementioned $1,275,000 subordinated secured promissory note, Off-Shore was granted a one percent (1%) revenue sharing interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions. The managing partner of Off-Shore and the CFO are partners in the accounting firm which the Company uses for general corporate purposes. The revenue sharing interest remains in effect after the conversion of the subordinated promissory note to Series A preferred stock and subsequently to common stock. In connection with its dissolution Off-Shore assigned its RSP to its individual members, which includes the former managing partner of Offshore.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had accrued compensation to its officers and directors of $1,187,208 and $1,081,708, respectively.

On August 28, 2012, the Company borrowed $250,000 from an entity that was 49% owned by a board member of another corporation for which Infinity’s CEO serves as CEO and chairman of the board. The Company issued a short-term note to the entity bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing February 28, 2013. The note was repaid February 27, 2013. In connection with the transaction, the Company issued the lender a warrant exercisable to purchase 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.50 per share, expiring August 2017.

The Company entered into a line-of-credit facility on September 23, 2013 which provides for borrowings on a revolving basis up to a maximum of $50,000 (maximum increased to $100,000 at December 31, 2013) with an initial maturity of November 23, 2013. The entity providing the credit facility is owned by an officer of another corporation for which Infinity’s president and chairman of the board serves as president and chairman of the board. The facility is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and was renewed at its maturity on November 23, 2013 for an additional two months or until January 23, 2014. On such date the parties renewed the credit facility until April 23, 2014 and subsequently renewed it until February 28, 2015. In consideration for the origination of the line of credit facility and the various renewals, the Company granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (as amended on January 23, 2014), which warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on various dates from September 23, 2018 to October 23, 2019 (as amended). The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in January 2014 that all warrants would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $1.50 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants at $60,290 as of the original grant date in 2013, which amount has been recorded as debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimated the fair value of the new warrants issued to extend the facility during 2014 and the increased value of the amended warrants to be $603,966, which has been recorded as additional debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

On March 7, 2014 the Company borrowed $10,000 from an individual who is related to Infinity’s Chairman and President. The note was due on demand and bore interest at 8% per annum. This demand note was repaid in full during April 2014.
