Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
On November 3, 2009 Bekem Metals, Inc. (the “Company”) executed a Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated November 3, 2009, made between Bekem Metals, Inc., and Ertis Ferronickel Works LLP (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Ertis Ferronickel Works LLP (“Ertis”) agrees to acquire 100% of the paid authorized capital of Kaznickel
LLP, (“Kaznickel”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for payment of 280,000 Kazakh tenge (approximately $1,882 U.S. dollars) and conditioned upon Ertis granting to Kaznickel financial aid in the amount of $5,000,000 U.S. dollars for the specific purpose of early partial repayment of the total indebtedness of Kaznickel to Bekem in the amount of $5,814,456 U.S. dollars. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, within three days of Closing, the Company
shall assign to SAT & Company, an owner of Ertis, its rights and interest to the remaining Kaznickel indebtedness of $814,456 U.S. dollars.
Pursuant to the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding executed between the parties in February 2009, Ertis made an initial payment of $500,000 U.S. dollars. The balance ($4,500,000 U.S. dollars) shall be delivered to the Company at the Closing. The Closing shall occur within 20 business days of the execution of the Agreement.
Kaznickel LLP holds the concession to the Company’s Gornostai nickel and cobalt deposit in northeastern Kazakhstan. Following receipt of full payment the Company shall transfer the paid authorized capital of Kaznickel to Ertis. Upon transfer, the Company shall have no right, title or interest to Kaznickel or the Gornostai concession and Kaznickel shall cease to be a subsidiary
of the Company.
Except as it relates to this transaction, there was no relationship between the Company and Ertis prior to the transaction. There is no relationship between Ertis and any of the Company’s officers, directors or affiliates or associates of any of them. The purchase price was determined by arms-length negotiation between the parties.
The description of the Agreement is only a summary of that agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report.
