Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On July 14, 2014 the registrant entered into and closed a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with Major League Football, LLC (“MLF”), a development stage company formed in 2009 to establish, develop and operate a professional spring/summer football league to be known as "Major League Football." Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the registrant issued MLF 8,000,000 shares of registrant common stock in exchange for assets of MLF primarily comprised of business plans and related proprietary documents, trademarks and other related intellectual property related to the development of the league. Also, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, (i) the registrant’s Board of Directors was expanded to two persons, and Thomas J. Marino, MLF’s founder, was appointed as a member of the registrant’s Board of Directors; (ii) Michael D. Queen resigned as the registrant’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the following new management team was appointed to the registrant:


Thomas Marino

Executive Chairman of the Board

Wesley Chandler

President; Secretary

Rick Smith

Chief Operating Officer

Michael Queen

Executive Vice President

Ivory Sully

Vice President - Licensing;


and (iii) a number of league consultants were also retained by the registrant.


The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the parties thereto, along with customary indemnification provisions with respect to breaches of representations, warranties and covenants, and the indemnification obligations are subject to customary limitations as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.


In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the registrant is seeking to establish, develop and operate a professional spring/summer football league to be known as "Major League Football," to operate as a single entity owned, stand alone, dominant independent sports league. Major League Football intends to fill a void by establishing franchises in cities overlooked by existing professional sports leagues and provide fans with professional football in the NFL off-seasons, which will enable it to take a totally non-adversarial approach towards the National Football League. Major League Football’s spring and early summer schedule ensures no direct competition with autumn/winter sports, including the 32 NFL, 9 CFL, 627 NCAA, 91 NAIA, 142 JUCO’s, 27 Canadian Universities, and thousands of high schools and collegiate institutions.


The description of the Asset Purchase Agreement is qualified by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.


On July 14, 2014 the registrant’s Board of Directors adopted and approved the registrant’s 2014 Employee Stock Plan ("2014 Plan"). The Board of Directors approved the 2014 Plan to ensure that the registrant has adequate ways in which to provide stock based compensation to its directors, officers, employees and consultants.

The grant of stock-based compensation, such as stock options, can motivate high levels of performance and provide an effective means of recognizing employee and consultant contributions to the registrant's success. In addition, stock-based compensation can be valuable in recruiting and retaining highly qualified technical and other key personnel who are in great demand, as well as rewarding and providing incentives to the registrant’s current employees and consultants. The registrant has reserved 10,000,000 shares for issuance pursuant to the 2014Plan.


The registrant intends to seek stockholder approval of the 2014 Plan at the registrant’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders expected to occur in September 2014. The registrant also intends to seek stockholder approval to change its name from Universal Capital Management, Inc. to Major League Football, Inc. at that time.


The description of the 2014 Plan is qualified by reference to the 2014 Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.6 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
