PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information and financial statements that we incorporate by reference in this Reoffer Prospectus. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Reoffer Prospectus to “RAM Energy Resources,” “our,” “us,” and “we” refer to RAM Energy Resources, Inc. (formerly known as Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corporation) and its subsidiaries, as a combined entity, except where it is clear that such term means only RAM Energy Resources, Inc.
A summary of the business and operations of RAM Energy Resources is included in our proxy statement filed with the Commission on April 18, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference, and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 12, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference.

A discussion of the risk factors relating to an investment in us is included in our proxy statement filed with the Commission on April 18, 2006 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on August 14, 2006, which are incorporated herein by reference. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in the proxy statement and our Quarterly Report, together with all of the other information included in this Reoffer Prospectus, before you decide to invest in us.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We believe that some of the information in this Reoffer Prospectus constitutes forward-looking statements within the definition of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intends,” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
|
|
• |
discuss future expectations; |
|
|
• |
contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or |
|
|
• |
state other “forward-looking” information. |
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our stockholders. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors and cautionary language discussed in our proxy statement, which is incorporated herein by reference, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by us in such forward-looking statements, including among other things:
|
• |
outcomes of government reviews, inquiries, investigations and related litigation; |
|
• |
continued compliance with government regulations; |
|
• |
legislation or regulatory environments, requirements or changes adversely affecting the business in which we are engaged; |
|
• |
fluctuations in customer demand; |
|
• |
management of rapid growth; |
|
• |
general economic conditions; |
|
• |
our business strategy and plans; |
|
• |
the actual quantities of our reserves of oil and natural gas; |
|
• |
the future levels of production of oil and natural gas by us; |
|
• |
future prices of and demand for oil and natural gas; |
|
• |
the results of our future exploration, development and exploitation activities; |
|
• |
future operating and development costs of our oil and natural gas properties; and |
|
• |
the results of future financing efforts. |
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Shares that may be sold pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus for the accounts of the respective Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders will receive all such proceeds, net of brokerage commissions, if any. See “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution.”
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth the name of the Selling Stockholders, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders as of the date of this Reoffer Prospectus and following the offering and the percentage of our outstanding shares common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders as of the date of this Reoffer Prospectus and following the offering.
We are registering all of the shares covered by this Reoffer Prospectus on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. This Reoffer Prospectus also covers any additional shares of common stock that become issuable in connection with the shares being registered by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration that results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. We are registering the Shares to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer these shares for resale from time to time. Because the Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or no part of their respective Shares of our common stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus, we cannot determine with certainty the number of shares of our common stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholders upon the termination of this offering. For more information, see "Plan of Distribution."

David Stinson is a shareholder with the law firm of McAfee & Taft A Professional Corporation, which provided the opinion in connection with the securities being registered by this registration statement.

EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of RAM Energy, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, incorporated by reference in this registration statement, have been audited by UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report appearing in the proxy statement pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed on April 18, 2006, and are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
The financial statements of RAM Energy Resources, Inc. (formerly known as Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corporation) at December 31, 2005 and 2004, the year ended December 31, 2005, the period from February 5, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2004, and the period from February 5, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2005 have been audited by BDO Seidman, LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and are incorporated herein by reference.
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, under which we are incorporated, grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or enterprise, against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, if he acted in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Article Eighth of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as well as Article VII of our Bylaws, provide indemnification of directors, officers and agents to the extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. These provisions may be sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Shares offered hereby may be sold from time to time directly by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders in one or more transactions, on any stock exchange or market on which the common stock may be listed at the time of sale, on the NASDAQ Capital Market, in privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may sell Shares through one or more agents, brokers or dealers or directly to purchasers. Such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Stockholders and/or purchasers of the shares or both (which compensation as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions).
In connection with such sales, the Selling Stockholders and any participating broker or dealer may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive and the proceeds of any sale of shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
In order to comply with certain state securities laws, if applicable, the Shares may be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In certain states, the shares may not be sold unless an exemption from regulation or qualification is available and is complied with by the Selling Stockholders. Sales of Shares must also be made by the Selling Stockholders in compliance with all other applicable state securities laws and regulations.
In addition to any Shares sold hereunder, Selling Stockholders may, at the same time, sell any shares of common stock owned by them, including the Shares, in compliance with all of the requirements of Rule 144, regardless of whether such shares are covered by this Reoffer Prospectus. There can be no assurance that any of the Selling Stockholders will sell any or all of the Shares offered by them hereby.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares. We have notified the Selling Stockholders of the need to deliver a copy of this Reoffer Prospectus in connection with any sale of the Shares.

ITEM 9. |
UNDERTAKINGS. |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
|
(i) |
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
|
(ii) |
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
(iii) |
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefor, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Tulsa, State of Oklahoma, on the 13th day of September, 2006.
