Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

        On July 26, 2006, Teton Energy Corporation ("Teton") entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Petrie Parkman & Co., Inc. (the "Underwriter") relating to the issuance and sale of 2,000,000 shares (the "7/27/06 Shares") of Teton's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at an offering price to the public of $5.20 per share. Teton has granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase an additional 300,000 shares of Common Stock (together with the 7/27/06 Shares, the "Shares"), at the same price per share paid to Teton for the 7/27/06 Shares, to cover over-allotments, if any. The closing of the offering, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to occur on August 1, 2006. The Shares will be issued pursuant to Teton's shelf registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-3 (File No. 333-132451), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006. The Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this report), and the description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
