Item 8.01   Other Events.
     The previously announced tender offer by Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Carrizo”) for up to $300 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Senior Notes”) expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 23, 2010 (the “Expiration Date”). Carrizo has accepted for purchase $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes that were validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date for an aggregate consideration of approximately $306,307,292, including accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Senior Notes. Because the tender offer was oversubscribed, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes that Carrizo purchased from each tendering noteholder was prorated. Carrizo has been informed by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the depositary for the tender offer, that the proration factor is approximately 83.4%. In accordance with the terms of the tender offer, the depositary will promptly issue payment for the Convertible Senior Notes accepted for purchase and will return all other Convertible Senior Notes tendered.
     On November 24, 2010, Carrizo issued a press release announcing the results of the tender offer. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
