Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As further described below, American Noble Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Predecessor Registrant”), merged with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, American Noble Gas Inc, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), on December 7, 2021, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 7, 2021 (the “Reincorporation Merger Agreement”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Reincorporation Merger”). On December 7, 2021, the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company succeeded to the assets, continued the business and assumed the rights and obligations of the Predecessor Registrant existing immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Reincorporation Merger was consummated by the filing of a certificate of merger on December 7, 2021 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Certificate of Merger”) and articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Nevada Articles of Merger”). Copies of the Delaware Certificate of Merger and the Nevada Articles of Merger are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and are each incorporated herein by reference. The Reincorporation Merger Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby were adopted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Predecessor Registrant’s common stock, par value, $0.0001 per share (the “Predecessor Common Stock”) and/or Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Predecessor Series A Preferred Stock”), on an as-converted to Predecessor Common Stock basis, by written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).

 

At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger Agreement, (i) each outstanding share of Predecessor Common Stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”), (ii) each outstanding share of the Predecessor Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (“Company Series A Preferred Stock”), and (iii) each outstanding option, right or warrant to acquire shares of Predecessor Common Stock converted into an option, right or warrant to acquire an equal number of shares of Company Common Stock under the same terms and conditions as the original options, rights or warrants.

 

Similar to the shares of Predecessor Common Stock prior to the Reincorporation Merger, the shares of Company Common Stock are quoted on the OTCQB tier operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “IFNY”. In accordance with the Reincorporation Merger Agreement, each outstanding certificate previously representing shares of Predecessor Common Stock or Predecessor Series A Preferred Stock automatically represents, without any action of the Predecessor Registrant’s stockholders, the same number of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable.

 

Pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the directors and officers of the Predecessor Registrant immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger became the directors and officers of the Company and continued their respective directorship or services with the Company on the same terms as their respective directorship or service with the Predecessor Registrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

As a result of the Reincorporation Merger, the internal affairs of the Company ceased to be subject to the DGCL or governed by the Predecessor Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Delaware Certificate”) and its Bylaws (the “Delaware Bylaws”). As of the Effective Time, the Company is subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) and is governed by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Nevada Articles”) and Bylaws (the “Nevada Bylaws”).

 

While the Company sought to maintain the material rights of stockholders by adopting the Nevada Articles and the Nevada Bylaws with provisions similar to the provisions of the Delaware Certificate and Delaware Bylaws, there are also key differences that may impact the rights of stockholders. A description of these differences, as well as certain differences between the NRS and the DGCL, are included in the definitive information statement filed by the Predecessor Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2021 (the “Information Statement”), under “Additional Information Regarding the Incorporation Merger”, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The description of the Reincorporation Merger and the Reincorporation Merger Agreement contained in this Item 1.01, including those incorporated by reference to the Information Statement, does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reincorporation Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions of the Nevada Articles and the Nevada Bylaws contained herein, including those incorporated by reference to the Information Statement, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Nevada Articles and the Nevada Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.3 and Exhibit 3.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

  2  

 

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed for the purpose of establishing the Company as the successor issuer to the Predecessor Registrant pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act, the shares of Company Common Stock, as successor issuer, are deemed registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

 

Item 2.03 - Creation of A Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under on Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The disclosures set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

 

As a result of the Reincorporation Merger, as of the Effective Time, the Company assumed and succeeded to by operation of law all of the prior liabilities and obligations of the Predecessor Registrant, and such liabilities and obligations may be enforced against the Company to the same extent as if the Company had itself incurred or contracted all such liabilities and obligations. For more information concerning these liabilities and obligations, see generally the Predecessor Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed prior to the date hereof, which are incorporated herein by reference.

The following descriptions do not purport to be complete statements of the relevant provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the “NRS”). You should refer to the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is part, along with the applicable provisions of the NRS.

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, when and as declared, from time to time, by our board of directors (“Board”), in its discretion, out of any of our assets legally available therefore. We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock since our inception, and our Board does not contemplate the payment of cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and such other factors as the Board deems relevant.

 

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote at a meeting of our stockholders. In matters other than the election of directors, stockholder approval requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of our Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, voting as a single class, unless the matter is one upon which, by express provision of law, our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, a different vote is required. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, election of directors is determined by a plurality of the votes cast.

 

Holders of Common Stock generally have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are, when issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

Subject to the terms of the Articles of Incorporation, upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, our remaining assets available for distribution to holders of Common Stock after payment to the holders of Preferred Stock of the specific amounts, if any, which they are entitled to receive as may be provided therein or pursuant thereto, will be distributed among the holders of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each stockholder.
