SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Item 1.01.           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 10, 2014, World Moto Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Fleet Franchise Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mobile Advertising Ventures Ltd. (“MAV”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company granted a fleet franchise license to MAV in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, exclusive of the surrounding suburban areas of the Klang Valley (the “Region”). The grant includes the right to operate “Yes” delivery services in the Region and the use of certain proprietary systems and property (including any Wheelies products for direct advertising) in connection with such services for a term of ten (10) years. The initial franchise fee is $25,000.00 and royalty payments equal to 5% of the gross proceeds from delivery fees and net sales of the franchise are due after twelve (12) months from the first commercial “Yes” delivery by the franchise. MAV is also required to contribute 1% of its gross proceeds from delivery fees and net sales to the Company’s marketing program.

The Company is required to provide training and ongoing guidance and assistance with respect to the services provided by MAV. Additionally, MAV agrees to indemnify the Company against any losses arising in connection with the operation of the franchise or any actions taken under the agreement resulting from negligence or willful misconduct.

Pursuant to the Agreement, MAV is required to submit monthly reports to the Company detailing its financial condition, including a profit and loss statement, and a report on gross proceeds from delivery fees and net sales for such periods. The Agreement is not assignable by MAV without the prior written consent of the Company and the Company has a right of first refusal with respect to any assignment of the Agreement or sale of the franchise.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release issued by the Company in connection with its entry into the Agreement is included as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto.
