Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
On July 16, 2015, Tom Simeo (the "Seller"), majority shareholder, Executive Chairman, and a director of Viking Investments Group, Inc. (the "Company"), transferred 14,046 shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock (the "Shares") to James A. Doris, CEO and a director of the Company in consideration of the purchase price of $10,000, paid from the personal funds of Mr. Doris. Mr. Simeo retained 14,046 shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock, and no other shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding. Since each of the preferred shares entitles the holder to 2,000 votes per share, Mr. Simeo and Mr. Doris effectively control the company jointly, even though neither of them solely controls the Company, and the sale of the preferred shares constitutes a change of control of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Simeo and Mr. Doris beneficially own 3,556,913 and 2,000,000 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock.
