Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 27, 2012, Mericol, Inc. (the “Company”) accepted subscriptions from investors in a private placement described under Item 3.02 below, and a final closing for the placement was held. The information included in Item 3.02 of this Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Additionally, the Company entered into a contract for sale, dated effective July 27, 2012 (“Contract for Sale”) pursuant to which it acquired from Sun River Energy, Inc. (“Sun River”) certain gold, silver, iron ore, copper and coal interests in Colfax County, New Mexico. As additional consideration for the purchase of the mineral assets, the Company was also granted a three (3) year option to acquire a 5% working interest in any oil and/or gas (including coalbed methane) wells drilled on any properties owned by Sun River in New Mexico.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company paid Sun River $500,000 cash, and agreed to issue Sun River 2,564,103 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”). The Shares are subject to a lock-up period of twelve (12) months.
For a period of three (3) years from the effective date of the Contract for Sale, Sun River will have the right to nominate one director to the Company’s Board. The Company also agreed that, on or before the expiration of three (3) years of the effective date of the Contract for Sale, to spend at least $1,000,000 towards obtaining a National Instrument 43-101 report, or other comparable report, regarding the mineral interests acquired from Sun River. If the Company fails to achieve that milestone, then Sun River will have the right to appoint an additional number of directors to the Company’s board such that Sun River will have a majority representation on the board. For a period of eighteen months following the effective date of the Contract for Sale, the Company is prohibited from selling or transferred the mineral assets acquired by the Company without the prior consent of Sun River (except under certain limited circumstances).
Additionally, Sun River agreed to vote in favor of certain corporate actions (subject to approval by the Company’s board of directors), including (i) a name change, (ii) a forward stock split of the Company’s common stock, (iii) the designation of a new series of preferred stock, and (iv) electing or re-electing (as applicable) each member of any slate of directors recommended by the Company’s Board.
A copy of the Contract for Sale is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The above description of the Contract for Sale is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Contract for Sale.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
The information included in Item 1.02 of this Form 8-K relating to the Contract for Sale and the acquisition of the mineral interests described therein is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On July 27, 2012, the Company held a final closing in connection with a private placement of its common stock. At the final closing, sold 102,740 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) at a price of $14.60 per share, resulting gross proceeds of $1,500,000, and no sales commissions were paid in connection with the closing. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the placement for general corporate purposes. A copy of the form of subscription agreement relating to the sale of the Shares in the placement is incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K as set forth in Exhibit 10.2.
The offer and sale of the Shares described above were made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D under the Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The sale of the Shares did not involve any public offering; each investor made representations regarding its investment intent, experience and sophistication; each investor either received or had access to adequate information about us in order to make an informed investment decision. Having received representations to this effect, we believe that each investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D; and no advertising or general solicitation was made in connection with the sale and issuance of the Company’s common stock.
Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant
As a result the transactions described in Items 1.01 and 2.01, incorporated into this Item 5.01 by reference, Sun River beneficially owns in excess of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The following table sets forth the ownership by any person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities as of August 1, 2012, after giving effect to the transactions described in Items 1.01, 2.01, and 5.02. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. The persons named in the table below have sole voting power and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based upon 4,926,843 shares of common stock deemed outstanding as of August 1, 2012.
