SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Subscription Agreement
Between February 13, 2015 and April 24, 2015, NaturalShrimp Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a form of Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) and consummated initial closings of a private placement offering of the Company’s common stock (the “Offering”). As of April 24, 2015 an aggregate of 1,960,477 shares of common stock had been sold to investors pursuant to the Agreement at a price of $0.35 per share.
The Offering is being conducted by the Company on a “best efforts” basis wherein up to 7,142,858 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) at a price of $0.35 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000, may be sold. Each of the purchasers executed the Agreement, which was accepted by the Company at the initial closings, and each purchaser represented to the Company that such investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Employment Agreements
On April 1, 2015, the Company entered into employment agreements with each of Bill G. Williams, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Gerald Easterling as the Company’s President (each an “Employee”), effective as of April 1, 2015 (the “Employment Agreements”).
The Employment Agreements are each terminable at will and each provide for a base annual salary of $96,000. In addition, the Employment Agreements each provide that the Employee is entitled, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, to receive performance bonuses. Each Employee will also be entitled to certain benefits including health insurance and monthly allowances for cell phone and automobile expenses.
Each Employment Agreement provides that in the event Employee is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (each as defined in their Employment Agreements), the Employee will receive, as severance, Employee’s base salary for a period of 60 months following the date of termination. In the event of a change of control of the Company, Employee may elect to terminate the Employment Agreement within 30 days thereafter and upon such termination would receive a lump sum payment equal to 500% of the Employee’s base salary.
Each Employment Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants relating to non-competition, non-solicitation of customers and non-solicitation of employees for a period of one year following termination of the Employee’s Employment Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Employment Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreements, which are included as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
