Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
On March 4, 2020, effective December 31, 2019, Arvana Inc. (“Company”) entered into certain debt settlement agreements to extinguish debt in the aggregate amount of $97,104, pursuant to which it is bound to issue to certain creditors an aggregate amount of 971,040 shares of common stock at $0.10 a share, pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2), and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) to the following individuals:
Name | Loan Amounts (US$) | Accrued Interest (6%) |
Debt (US$) |
Exemptions | Common Stock ($0.10) |
Olga Volger | 10,000 | 4,883 | 14,883 | Reg D/4(a)(2) | 148,830 |
Raymond Wicki | 25,000 | 17,629 | 42,629 | Reg S/4(a)(2) | 426,290 |
Conrad Swanson | 25,000 | 14,592 | 39,592 | Reg S/4(a)(2) | 395,920 |
TOTAL | 971,040 |
The Company complied with the exemption requirements of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act based on the following factors: (1) the issuances will be isolated private transactions that do not involve a public offering; (2) there are three offerees with whom the Company entered into separate debt settlement agreements; (3) the offerees represented an intention not to resell the stock; and (4) there are no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the stock at the date of this disclosure filing; (5) the stock will not be broken down into smaller denominations on issuance.
Regulation S of the Securities Act provides generally that any offer or sale that occurs outside of the United States is exempt from the registration , as long as certain conditions are met. Regulation S has two safe harbors. One safe harbor applies to offers and sales by issuers, securities professionals involved in the distribution process pursuant to contract, their respective affiliates, and persons acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (“issuer safe harbor”), and the other applies to resales by persons other than the issuer, securities professionals involved in the distribution process pursuant to contract, their respective affiliates (except certain officers and directors), and persons acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (“resale safe harbor”). An offer, sale or resale of securities that satisfies all conditions of the applicable safe harbor is deemed to be outside the United States as required by Regulation S.
The Company complied with the exemption requirements of Regulation S by having directed no offering efforts in the United States, by offering common shares only to offerees who were outside the United States at the time of the offering, and ensuring that the persons to whom the common shares were issued and authorized were non-U.S. persons with addresses in foreign countries.
