Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

On January 27, 2023, we entered into a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with the shareholders of Petro Line FZ-LLC ("Petro Line"), a United Arab Emirates headquartered company to purchase 51% of the outstanding shares (the "Shares"). Petro Line is a revenue generating and profitable company that operates an oil refinery providing oil refining services.

The purchase price for the Shares shall be up to $1,530,000 in cash, paid in three tranches, subject to the achievement of financial milestones presented in a schedule of payments which are set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The first tranche of $500,000 will be paid within 14 days of signing the Share Purchase Agreement and will constitute closing. The remaining $1,030,00 under the Purchase Agreement will be paid out over the next 12 months in two further tranches conditional upon Petro Line meeting minimum Revenue and EBITDA targets for 2023.

We will occupy three non-paid board seats of Petro Line and there shall be two other non-paid board seats for existing Petro Line board members.

The Purchase Agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants whereby, among other things, the shareholders selling the Shares are prohibited from (a) competing with the business of the Petro Line, (b) soliciting employees of Petro Line and (c) intentionally interfering with Petro Line's business relationships, in each case during the two-year period immediately following the final payment required under the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, including, among others, with respect to corporate organization, capitalization, corporate authority, financial statements, and compliance with applicable laws. The representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the Purchase Agreement, and investors are not third-party beneficiaries of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations and warranties (a) are subject to materiality and other qualifications contained in the Purchase Agreement, which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (b) were made only as of the date of the Purchase Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Purchase Agreement and (c) may have been included in the Purchase Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding any of the parties or their respective businesses.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.
