Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Please see the disclosures set forth under Item 2.01 herein below.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 30, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), Global NuTech, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Agreement”) with International Plant Services, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company (“IPS”), and the two (2) individuals standing as equity-holders of IPS (the “Equity-Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of IPS from the Equity-Holders, representing one hundred percent (100%) ownership of IPS, in exchange for the issuance of (i) 29,411,765 newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), of which 14,705,882 shares were issued to one of the Equity-Holders and 14,705,883 shares were issued to the other Equity-Holder, and (ii) the issuance to each of the Equity-Holders of a convertible-promissory note in the amount of US$5,000,000.00, convertible into shares of Common Stock at $0.17 per share upon the earlier of three (3) years or the change of control, or sale, of the Company (such promissory notes, together, the “Promissory Notes”). As of the Closing Date, the Equity-Holders collectively beneficially own 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and each individually 45% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (taking into consideration the mandatory cancellation of certain outstanding shares of Common Stock as required under the Agreement). As a result of the transaction, IPS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The amount of the consideration given for the acquisition was determined pursuant to arm’s length negotiations between the parties. The summary of the Agreement set forth above does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms of the Agreement. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement which is being filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Promissory Notes are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, and are qualified in their entireties by reference to their full texts which are incorporated by reference herein.
The principal business of IPS involves the provision of construction services and placement of skilled industrial personnel within the energy sector, in the United States and other countries. Located in the greater Houston area, a primary location of the global oil and gas industry, IPS provides engineering, technical assistance and skilled craft support to its industrial clients.
Simultaneously with the filing of this Report, the Company shall also file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an Information Statement complying with Rule 14f-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that describes a change in a majority of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) that shall, not earlier than ten (10) days following the date of such filing, occur in connection with the change of control of the Company described in this Report (such date, the “Information Filing Date”). For further detail on the change of control, please see Item 5.02 herein below.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.
Please see the disclosures set forth under Item 2.01 above with respect to the Company’s issuance of the Promissory Notes.
Item 3.02 Unregistered sales of equity Securities.
In connection with the closing of the Agreement described in Item 2.01 above, the Company issued 29,411,765 shares of Common Stock to the Equity-Holders as well as the Promissory Notes. Each of the Equity-Holders has represented that he is not a resident of the United States, that he was acquiring the shares of Common Stock for investment and not with a view toward resale or public distribution of such shares, and acknowledged that the shares of Common Stock had not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and that they constituted “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The certificates representing such shares of Common Stock will bear a restrictive legend. The issuance of securities to the Equity-Holders under the Agreement was conducted in reliance on Regulation S.
Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
On the Closing Date, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of IPS in exchange for the issuance of 29,411,765 newly-issued shares of Common Stock and the issuance of the Promissory Notes to the Equity-Holders. Upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock and the cancellation of certain outstanding shares of Common Stock as contemplated by the Agreement, each of the Equity-Holders shall own 45% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and each shall own (pursuant to ownership of Common Stock and ownership of shares of the Company’s preferred stock) 44% of the issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock of the Company.
Upon the Closing Date, and effective as of the Company’s compliance with Rule 14f-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Board accepted the resignations of John Magner and Pamela Stewart, and appointed David Mathews to serve as a member of the Board as described in Item 5.02 herein below.
