Item 2.01Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets.
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on December 22,
2016, Dakota Plains Holdings, Inc. (the Company)(Case Number
16-43711) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dakota Plains
Transloading, LLC, Dakota Plains Sand, LLC, Dakota Plains
Marketing, LLC, DPTS Marketing LLC, DPTS Sand, LLC and Dakota
Petroleum Transport Solutions, LLC (together with the Company,
the Debtors), filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy
Code) (the Chapter 11 Case) in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Minnesota (the Court). The Company will
continue to be managed as a debtor-in-possession under the
jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and order of the Court.
In addition, as previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form
8-K filed with the SEC on February 3, 2017, the Court approved a
stalking horse asset purchase agreement, dated December 19, 2016
and amended January 26, 2017 (the Asset Purchase Agreement), by
and between the Debtors and BioUrja Trading, LLC (the Purchaser),
to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to purchase
substantially all of the assets of the Debtors for a purchase
price equal to approximately $10.85 million (the Asset Sale).
The closing of the Asset Sale contemplated under the Asset
Purchase Agreement occurred on February 28, 2017. The Asset Sale
was conducted to the provisions of Sections 105, 363 and 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code and approved by the Court. The Debtors
received total consideration of approximately $10.85 million,
which was substantially all cash.
Item 8.01Other Events.
The Company expects to file a plan of liquidation, which is
expected to be considered by the Court in May of 2017. The
Company will now move forward with winding down and dissolving in
accordance with applicable law. In light of the purchase price
paid, the Company expects that there will be no recovery by the
Companys stockholders after payment to the Companys creditors.

Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal

Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal

included in this report are based on information available to us

attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements
contained throughout this report.
The Company cautions its security holders that trading in the
Companys securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case
will be highly speculative and will pose additional, substantial
risks in addition to the various risks that the Company has
previously disclosed in its press releases, registration
statements filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and periodic reports and schedules filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Trading prices for the Companys
securities may not bear any substantive relationship to any
recovery that the Companys security holders may obtain in the
Chapter 11 Case. In that context, the Company cannot provide any
assurance in respect of the scope or amount, nature, or timing of
any recovery for any such holders. Accordingly, we urge extreme
caution with respect to existing and future investments in our
securities.
A plan of reorganization, sale of assets or liquidation may
result in the holders of the Companys securities receiving little
or no distribution in respect of their interests and cancellation
of their existing securities. If certain requirements of the
Bankruptcy Code are met, a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization
could be confirmed notwithstanding its rejection by our security
holders and notwithstanding the fact that such security holders
do not receive or retain any property on account of their
security interests under such plan.
