Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 6, 2015, Royal Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Isaac Fisch, a shareholder of the Company. The agreement bars the Company from implementing a reverse split prior to July 31, 2015. The agreement also contains an anti-dilution clause, under which the Company would be obligated to issue Mr. Fisch additional shares sufficient to maintain his proportional interest in the Company in the event the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock exceeds 20,000,000 prior to April 20, 2015.

 

Effective January 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Subsidiaries Option Agreement with Jacob Roth, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company. Under the Subsidiaries Option Agreement, the Company conveyed all of its assets to S.C. Golden Carpathan Resources, S.R.L., a Romanian corporation, and Development Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Subsidiaries”), to the extent any assets were not already owned by the Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries Option Agreement also granted Mr. Roth an option to acquire the Subsidiaries for 49,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Roth. The Subsidiaries Option Agreement also granted the Company a put option to acquire 49,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock owned by Mr. Roth in consideration for the Subsidiaries. Both options may be exercised at any time within 45 days after closing of the stock purchase agreement among Mr. Roth, E-Starts Money Co. and William Tuorto. (See Item 5.01 herein).

 

On March 6, 2015, the Company borrowed $203,593 from E-Starts Money Co. pursuant to a demand promissory date which bears interest at six percent per annum. The proceeds were used by the Company to repay all of its indebtedness.
