Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 21, 2013, Abakan Inc. (“Abakan”) entered into a memorandum of understanding

(“Agreement”) with Lissotschenko Mikrooptik GmbH (“LIMO”), based in Dortmund, Germany, for the

purpose of jointly developing an exclusive laser based system for affixing wear and corrosion resistant

metal and ceramic coatings, claddings and related surface treatments to the inside diameter of 3 to 8 inch

metal pipe. LIMO is to design and build the laser coating systems, while Abakan is to design the

auxiliary components to install and operate these laser systems.

The terms of the Agreement require Abakan to fund a minimum amount of the joint development

expenses over the two year development period and to purchase a certain number of laser coating systems

over the succeeding seven years to maintain exclusivity over the resultant laser coating systems. The

Agreement includes the terms for the Joint Development Project and anticipates that the parties thereto

will enter into a definitive License Agreement and Supply Agreement as the Joint Development Project

progresses to fruition.

LIMO has over 300 patents, the in-house ability to produce 1,000’s of specialized lasers per year and an

international team of more than 220 engineers, physicists, technicians and many other specialized staff

who design, develop, manufacture and market innovative micro-optics and laser systems. Among many

other accomplishments, LIMO has demonstrated laser-melting technology that can produce smooth and

thin coatings which, for the first time in history, exhibits a verifiable metallurgical bond almost without

any metallurgical substrate effects. The LIMO technology is based on optical systems which facilitate

industry relevant productivity for the seamless treatment of the inner diameters of pipes. The utilization of

this technology in small diameter well pipe and in other industrial applications is expected to result in an

effective life that is more than sufficient for most products that rely on claddings.
