On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “2nd Amendment”) with White Lion. Pursuant to the 2nd Amendment, the Company and White Lion agreed to amend the process of a Rapid Purchase, whereby the parties will close on the Rapid Purchase on the trading day the notice of the applicable Rapid Purchase is given. The 2nd Amendment, among other things, also removed the maximum number of shares required to be purchased upon notice of a Rapid Purchase, added a limit of 100,000 shares of Common Stock per individual request, and revised the purchase price of a Rapid Purchase to equal the lowest traded price of Common Stock during the one hour following White Lion’s acceptance of the Rapid Purchase for each request. In addition, White Lion agreed that, on any single business day, it shall not publicly resell an aggregate amount of Commitment Shares in an amount that exceeds 7% of the daily trading volume of the Common Stock for such business day, excluding any trades before or after regular trading hours and any block trades.

 

In addition, we may, from time to time while a purchase notice is active, issue a Rapid Purchase Notice to White Lion for the purchase of shares (not to exceed 100,000 shares per individual request) at a purchase price equal to the lowest traded price of Common Stock during the one hour following White Lion’s acceptance of the Rapid Purchase for each request, and which the parties will close on the Rapid Purchase on the trading day the notice of the applicable Rapid Purchase is given within two Business Days of the applicable Rapid Purchase Date. Furthermore, White Lion agreed that, on any single Business Day, it shall not publicly resell an aggregate amount of Commitment Shares in an amount that exceeds 7% of the daily trading volume of our Class A Common Stock for the such preceding Business Day, excluding any trades before or after regular trading hours and any block trades.

 

Effective June 20, 2024, the Company and the Seller entered into a settlement agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”). Under the Settlement Agreement, and in settlement of the working capital provisions of the Amended MIPA, the Seller agreed to waive all rights and claims to the amount of royalties payable under the ORRI as of December 31, 2023, totaling $1,523,138 and agreed to pay certain amounts related to vendor payable claims assumed by the Company at Closing.

If the Company fails to file the Form 10-K within the six-month period, the NYSE American may grant, in its sole discretion, an extension of up to six additional months for the Company to regain compliance, depending on the specific circumstances. The NYSE Notice also notes that the NYSE American may nevertheless commence delisting proceedings at any time if it deems that the circumstances warrant.
