Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 24, 2020, Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Exchange and Settlement Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with SKM Partnership, Ltd. (“SKM”), pursuant to which SKM agreed to exchange (the “Exchange”) an 8% promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Company to SKM, dated as of December 27, 2013, in the original principal amount of $1,050,000, representing outstanding principal balance of $1,000,000 and accrued and unpaid interest thereon of $481,000, for (i) a cash payment in the amount of $100,000 (the “Cash Payment”) and (ii) 737,532 newly issued shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, in connection with the Exchange, the Company and SKM agreed to terminate the following agreements between the parties: (i) the Preemptive Rights Agreement dated as of December 27, 2013, between the Company and SKM (the “Preemptive Rights Agreement”), (ii) the Revenue Sharing Agreement dated as of May 30, 2014, between the Company and SKM, as amended on November 19, 2014 (the “Revenue Sharing Agreement”), and (iii) the Indemnity Agreement dated as of December 27, 2013, between the Company and SKM (the “Indemnity Agreement”). Additionally, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, SKM acknowledged the expiration on March 12, 2017, by its terms, of a Common Stock Purchase Warrant, issued to SKM, for the purchase of up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock (the Warrant”). The Company and SKM also agreed to provide mutual limited releases, releasing each of them from all liabilities and obligations to the other, as between them with respect to claims relating to the Note, the Preemptive Rights Agreement, the Warrant and all other agreements relating thereto, other than liabilities and obligations owed under the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. The Exchange Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.

 

The closing of the Exchange occurred concurrently with the execution of the Exchange Agreement. At the closing, the Company made the Cash Payment and made provisions for the issuance of the Exchange Shares to SKM in exchange for the Cash Payment and the Note which was surrendered by SKM for cancellation.

 

The issuance of the Exchange Shares are being made without any restrictive legends upon reliance on the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder. As a result, the Exchange Shares are freely tradeable upon issuance to SKM.

2.2 Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) the payment of the $100,000 Cash Payment, (b) the issuance of the Exchange Shares in exchange for the Original Note and (c) the release provided in the Company’s Release (collectively, the “Exchange Documents”) and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

This Agreement and each other Exchange Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies; and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

2.7 Section 3(a)(9) Representation.
