ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On September 24,  2015, the United  States District Court of the Southern District of New York (“New York

Court”)  appointed  Robert  W.  Seiden  as  the  receiver  (the  “Receiver”)  over  Abakan  Inc.  (“Abakan”),  in

response to a motion filed with the New York Court on September 17, 2015, for contempt, in a suit brought

by  George  Town  Associates  S.A.  (“George  Town”)  against  Abakan  and  its  subsidiary  MesoCoat,  Inc.

(“MesoCoat”)  on  May 4,  2015,  in  order  to  collect  amounts  due  to  George  Town  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  a

secured  convertible  note,  and  on  August  19,  2015,  Mr.  Seiden  was  appointed  receiver  for  MesoCoat,  in

response  to  a  motion  filed  with  the  Court  on  July 28,  2015,  for  contempt  in  the  same  action,  as  previously

reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Abakan with the Securities and Exchange Commission

on September 25, 2015.

On  December  16,  2015,  the  New  York  Court  issued  an  order  approving  a  proposal  (the  “Court  Approved

Transaction”)  providing  for  the  satisfaction  of  the  debt  owed  by  MesoCoat  to  its  largest  creditors,  as

previously  reported  in  the  Current  Report  on  Form  8-K  filed  by  Abakan  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange

Commission on December 18, 2015.

On  January  4,  2016,  Abakan  and  MesoCoat  entered  into  a  Satisfaction  and  Assignment  Agreement  (the

“Satisfaction   Agreement”)   with   George   Town,   Sonoro   Invest   S.A.   (“Sonoro”),   Joseph   T.   Eberhard

(“Eberhard”),  and  David  van  der  Gulik,  Warren  Lydon,  Philip Graves,  Paul  Ammon,  Ammon  &Associates

and Vladimir Chernyakov (together the “Abakan Petitioning Creditors” and collectively with George Town,

Sonoro and Eberhard, the “Creditors”),  reflecting the terms of the Court Approved Transaction. Pursuant to

the Satisfaction Agreement, Abakan transferred 77.5% of the outstanding stock and ownership in MesoCoat

to  the  Creditors  in  satisfaction  of  approximately  $6.24  million  of  claims  by  the  Creditor’s  against  Abakan

and   MesoCoat.   Under   the   terms   of   the   Satisfaction   Agreement,   George   Town   received   38.75%   of

MesoCoat’s   outstanding   stock,   Sonoro   received   28.17%   of   MesoCoat’s   outstanding   stock,   Eberhard

received   7.44%   of   MesoCoat’s   outstanding   stock   and   the   Abakan   Petitioning   Creditors   received   an

aggregate  of  3.14%  of  MesoCoat’s  outstanding  stock.  Abakan  retained  22.5%  of  MesoCoat’s  outstanding

stock.    In  addition,  MesoCoat  agreed  to  pay  in  full  the  claims  of  certain  creditors  of  MesoCoat  in  the

aggregate  amount  of  approximately  $41,900  within  14  days  of  execution  of  the  Satisfaction  Agreement.

Further,  pursuant  to  the  Satisfaction  Agreement,  the  Receiver  will  continue  to  serve  as  receiver  over

MesoCoat and Abakan for 91 days following the date of the Settlement Agreement.
