SECTION 1. Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 21, 2012, NDB Energy, Inc. (the “Company,” or “we”) entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Armada Oil, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Armada”) and Armada’s stockholders (the “Armada Stockholders”). Upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement the Armada Stockholders will sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of Armada’s common stock and all outstanding stock purchase warrants (the “Armada Securities”) to the Company in return for 8,870,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, 2,520,000 Company Series B Warrants allowing the Armada Stockholders to purchase up to an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $2.00 per share and 2,520,000 Company Series C Warrants allowing the Armada stockholders to purchase up to an equal number of the Company’s shares of common stock for a period of 7 years from the date of issuance at a purchase price of $3.00 per share (collectively, the “Company Securities”).

 

The Company Series C Warrants contain a restrictive clause restricting the holder from exercising the warrant until such time as the Company informs the holder that the exercise of all the Series C Warrants, along with all other shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the Armada Stockholders pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, would constitute less than 49.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Additionally, upon the completion of the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company will appoint David Moss as a director of the Company. The Company has also agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the Company Securities within 60 days from the Company filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

 

Upon completion of the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement Armada will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Armada Stockholders will own approximately 43.7% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Armada is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas through the development of multiple objective oil and gas exploration projects located in Southern Wyoming. The projects are near existing infrastructure; including oil and natural gas pipelines, oil refineries and gas processing plants as well as various productive oil and natural gas fields. Armada currently holds interests in properties located in Carbon County, Wyoming.

 

                Armada’s business strategy, which is designated the “Overland Trail Project”, is to identify and exploit resources from potential sandstone reservoirs in the Upper and Lower parts of the Permian-Pennsylvanian age Casper (Tensleep) Formation with secondary targets in the Niobrara Formation. High resistivity development in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Niobrara Chalks, along with overlying and underlying high organic content marls has been noted in the dozen or so logged wells that have penetrated the Niobrara Formation. Additionally, gas shows have been recorded from wells drilled on Simpson Ridge Anticline on the west end and the Chapman Draw area on the north end of the project area. Finally, approximately 140 miles of vintage 2D CDP seismic lines attest to the conformity of the Niobrara reflections that are present between thrust faults and away from well control points.

Upon acquiring Armada, we intend to develop and produce reserves at a low cost and will take an aggressive approach to exploiting our contiguous acreage position through utilization of recent drilling technology advancements and best-practices seismic techniques. We believe that, through our acquisition of Armada, we will become uniquely familiar with the history and geology of the Overland Trail Project area through our collective experience in the region and our relationships with geologists and engineers who initiated and developed this and other projects in the area for more than 30 years. We believe that implementing our drilling strategy and using new drilling and completion techniques will enable us to find significant gas and oil reserves in the Overland Trail Project area.

 

                The Company’s obligations to purchase, and the Armada Stockholder’s obligation to sell, the Armada Securities is conditioned upon the Company and Armada completing their due diligence and providing the other respective party with certain additional information and documents as set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement. The Share Exchange Agreement will terminate if the parties have not closed on the transactions contemplated in the Share Exchange Agreement prior to March 31, 2012, unless extended by the Company and Armada in writing. A copy of the Share Exchange Agreement is attached is Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
