ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS


On October 1, 2013, American International Industries, Inc. (American) entered into a stock purchase agreement with Scott Wolinsky (Wolinsky), a former director of American, whereby American purchased Wolinskys 89,540 shares of Americans common stock for cash of $130,000 and a non-interest bearing note payable of $200,000, due on September 30, 2014.  American entered into an escrow agreement to resolve payment of the amounts owed.  A related treasury stock obligation in the amount of $200,000 was recorded.  In the event that American was unwilling or not able to make the $200,000 payment when the note became due, at Americans option, it was able to instruct Wolinsky to sell the shares in the open market or a private transaction and apply the proceeds from such sales to any balance owed.  In the event that Wolinsky sold the shares for more than $200,000, Wolinsky could return any portion of the unsold shares back to American and any proceeds over $200,000.  American owed Wolinsky $131,081.21 (the balance from the original $200,000 promissory note, partially secured by American shares of common stock and the guarantee of Daniel Dror, Americans Chief Executive Officer).  American requested that Wolinsky deliver 17,940 shares to a brokerage account to sell to American for $18,000, and the proceeds would be applied to the outstanding balance of $131,081.21 as per the original agreement.  Although this was the original agreement with Wolinsky, Wolinsky ultimately did not deliver the shares to the brokerage account, and was therefore in violation of the original agreement.  Wolinsky subsequently proceeded to file a lawsuit in Houston Arbitration Court related to the entire amount in the original agreement.  American contacted Wolinsky regarding the lawsuit, and reached a settlement agreement.  The settlement agreement was never executed by Wolinsky, and Wolinsky subsequently began to renegotiate the settlement.  Negotiations are ongoing between American and Wolinsky.  American has determined that the amount in question is immaterial in relation to its total equity of approximately $9.3 million.
