Item 1.01        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

 

On June 28, 2010 Abakan Inc. (the “Company) entered into a stock purchase agreement with Kennametal Inc. (“Kennametal”) pursuant to which terms and conditions the Company was to purchase from Kennametal five hundred and ninety six thousand eight hundred and thirteen (596,813) shares being a forty one percent (41%) interest in Powdermet, Inc. (“Powdermet”) in exchange for one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) payable on even date. The transaction was not consummated and on September 7, 2010 the Company and Kennametal amended the stock purchase agreement to be effective June 28, 2010.

 

The amended terms and conditions of the stock purchase agreement require that the Company pay an initial payment of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) to Kennametal against the original purchase price of $1,500,000 and the remainder on or before September 30, 2010. The amended stock purchase agreement contains additional terms related to monthly liquidated damages in the amount of fifty thousand ($50,000) a month in the event the Company is tardy in making the final installment on the purchase price. The transaction must close no later than December 31, 2010.

 

Powdermet is the parent company of MesoCoat, Inc. (“MesoCoat”), an Ohio based nanotechnology materials science business, in which the Company holds a thirty four percent (34%) equity interest with the option to acquire up to a seventy five percent (75%) interest. Further, Andy Sherman serves as the chief executive officer of each of Powdermet and MesoCoat in addition to his duties as a member of the Company’s board of directors.

 

Formed in 1996, Powdermet is the winner of over 80 government-sponsored Phase 1, 2 and 3 grant programs, and is transitioning from an engineered nano-powder R&D lab into a commercial sector company. Powdermet’s own product platform of advanced materials solutions are derived from nano-engineered agglomerate technology including SComP™ and MComP™ energy absorbing ultra-lightweight syntactic- and nano-composite metals.
