Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Private Placement

 

On July 4, 2017, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with an investor relating to the issuance and sale of up to $500,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock” and such sale and issuance, the “Private Placement”). Each share of Common Stock was sold at a per share purchase price of $2.79. On July 7, 2017, the Company closed the Private Placement pursuant to which it sold 179,211 shares of Common Stock with gross proceeds to the Company of $499,998.69.

 

The offering is being made pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Subscription Agreement and the Private Placement are not complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the Form of Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Capital Markets Advisory Agreement

 

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company also entered into a capital markets advisory agreement with the investor to provide services including, corporate presentation assistance, website review/assistance, acquisition candidate introductions, industry wide M&A opportunity introductions, potential exploration property acquisitions, institutional investor outreach, road show presentations, site visit organization, and introductions to analysts for future research coverage. The below risk factor relates to such capital markets advisory agreement and other investor relations activities of the Company.

 

INVESTOR RELATIONS ACTIVITIES, NOMINAL “FLOAT” AND SUPPLY AND DEMAND FACTORS MAY AFFECT THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK.

 

We expect to utilize various techniques such as non-deal road shows and investor relations campaigns in order to create investor awareness for the Company. These campaigns may include personal, video and telephone conferences with investors and prospective investors in which our business practices are described. We may provide compensation to investor relations firms and pay for newsletters, websites, mailings and email campaigns that are produced by third-parties based upon publicly-available information concerning the Company. We will not be responsible for the content of analyst reports and other writings and communications by investor relations firms not authored by the Company or from publicly available information. We do not intend to review or approve the content of such analysts’ reports or other materials based upon analysts’ own research or methods. Investor relations firms should generally disclose when they are compensated for their efforts, but whether such disclosure is made or complete is not under our control. In addition, investors in the Company may be willing, from time to time, to encourage investor awareness through similar activities. Investor awareness activities may also be suspended or discontinued which may impact the trading market our common stock.

 

The SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) enforce various statutes and regulations intended to prevent manipulative or deceptive devices in connection with the purchase or sale of any security and carefully scrutinize trading patterns and company news and other communications for false or misleading information, particularly in cases where the hallmarks of “pump and dump” activities may exist, such as rapid share price increases or decreases. The Supreme Court has stated that manipulative action is a term of art connoting intentional or willful conduct designed to deceive or defraud investors by controlling or artificially affecting the price of securities. Often times, manipulation is associated by regulators with forces that upset the supply and demand factors that would normally determine trading prices. Securities regulators have often cited thinly-traded markets, small numbers of holders, and awareness campaigns as components of their claims of price manipulation and other violations of law when combined with manipulative trading, such as wash sales, matched orders or other manipulative trading timed to coincide with false or touting press releases. There can be no assurance that the Company’s or third-parties’ activities, or the small number of potential sellers or small percentage of stock in the “float,” or determinations by purchasers or holders as to when or under what circumstances or at what prices they may be willing to buy or sell stock will not artificially impact (or would be claimed by regulators to have affected) the normal supply and demand factors that determine the price of the stock.
