Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
KeyStar
Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 17, 2023 that Mr.
John Linss (“Linss”) resigned as a member of the Company’s board of directors and as its Chief Executive Officer,
Principal Executive Officer, President and Chief Technology Officer pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement and Release dated
and effective January 10, 2023. The Separation Agreement and Release provided for the purchase, at a future date mutually agreed upon
by the parties, of 3,313,333 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) for a purchase
price of $2,000,000. Linss holds 2,980,000 of the Shares in his name, and the other 333,333 Shares are held in the name of Corespeed,
LLC. Linss is the sole member of Corespeed, LLC and the beneficial owner of the Shares held by Corespeed, LLC.
The
Company also disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023 that on February 27, 2023, the Company entered into Stock Redemption
and Purchase Agreements with Linss and Corespeed, LLC (together, the “Purchase Agreements”) for the purchase of the
Shares. The Company paid $300,000 at the closing and entered into a promissory note (the “Note”) with Linss for the
remaining $1,700,000 of the purchase price. The Note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, does not include early prepayment penalties,
and requires the following payments: (i) no less than $850,000.00, in aggregate, of one or more payments is due by the 12-month anniversary
of the Note; and (ii) a balloon payment for the balance of the Note is due by the earlier of the 24-month anniversary of the Note or
five days after the Company’s common stock is listed for public trading on either the Nasdaq Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange,
or the NYSE American.
On
February 23, 2024, the Company and Linss entered into a First Amendment to Promissory Note dated February 19, 2024 (the “Note
Amendment”) which amended the repayment terms of the Note. Pursuant to the Note Amendment, the Note will be repaid as follows:
(i) $425,000.00 of the indebtedness will be paid on or before February 27, 2024 (which it was); (ii) commencing on April 1, 2024, and
continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, equal monthly payments of principal and interest (based on a two (2) year
amortization) in the amount of Fifty-Nine Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Five and 09/100 Dollars ($59,665.09) shall be due and payable; and
(iii) the balance of the indebtedness will be paid on the Maturity Date.
The
“Maturity Date” is defined as the earliest of: (a) April 1, 2026; (b) upon the occurrence of an Uplisting (as hereafter
defined), the fifth day after the occurrence of the Uplisting; or (c) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as hereafter defined),
the fifth day after the occurrence of the Change of Control. The term “Uplisting” means the listing of shares of the
Maker’s common stock on The New York Stock Exchange, The NYSE American, The Nasdaq Global Market, The Nasdaq Global Select Market,
The Nasdaq Capital Market or any successor or substantially equivalent national securities exchange. The term “Change of Control”
means the consummation of: (a) a sale, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of related transactions,
of all or substantially all of the Maker’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, taken as a whole (except where such sale, transfer,
license or other disposition is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Maker); (b) the merger or consolidation of the Maker with or into
another entity, except any merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Maker immediately prior to such merger
or consolidation continue to hold a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Maker or the surviving or acquiring entity,
(or, if the surviving or acquiring entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of another party immediately following such merger or consolidation,
the parent entity of such surviving or acquiring entity); (c) the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction
or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of the Maker’s securities),
of the Maker’s securities if, after such consummation, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold 50% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of the Maker (or the surviving or acquiring entity, or the parent entity of such surviving or acquiring entity);
or (d) a liquidation, voluntary or involuntary dissolution or winding up of the Maker.
