Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On May 28, 2021, Moxian, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Moxian (BVI) Inc, a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Moxian BVI”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) related to a proposed merger transaction. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will merge with and into Moxian BVI (the “Merger” or “Redomicile Merger”), with Moxian BVI surviving. Following the Merger, Moxian BVI, together with its subsidiaries, will own and continue to conduct the Company’s business in substantially the same manner as is currently being conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the Merger, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be converted into the right to receive one ordinary share of Moxian BVI. As part of the Merger, Moxian BVI has agreed to assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations of any warrant, convertible debentures or other convertible securities that may convert in the Company’s common stock. All rights to purchase or receive, or receive payment based on, each share of the Company’s common stock arising under the Company’s warrants, convertible debentures or other convertible securities will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or receive, or receive payment based on, as applicable, one ordinary share of Moxian BVI. At the Effective Time, Moxian BVI will adopt and assume the obligations of the Company under or with respect to contracts or agreements as described in the Merger Agreement. The contracts and agreements will become the obligations of Moxian BVI and will be performed in the same manner and without interruption until the same are amended or otherwise lawfully altered or terminated.

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary closing conditions, including, among others, approval of the Merger by the Company’s stockholders, the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-4 filed by Moxian BVI related to the Merger and receipt of required regulatory approvals.

 

The consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote is required to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement. The Board of Directors of the Company believes that the Merger, to be effected by the Merger Agreement, is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company may exercise its discretion to terminate the Merger Agreement, and therefore abandon the Merger, at any time prior to the Effective Time, including after the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders.

 

The Merger Agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of each of the Company and Moxian BVI. The completion of the Merger is subject to the required approval of the Company’s stockholders, requisite regulatory approvals, the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-4 filed by Moxian BVI related to the Redomicile Merger, and other customary closing conditions.

 

The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are more fully described in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus on the Company’s Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 1, 2021, which description is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Additional Information

 

In connection with the proposed Merger, Moxian BVI filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 to register the ordinary shares of Moxian BVI to be issued to the stockholders of the Company. The registration statement will include a proxy statement/prospectus of the Company which will be sent to the stockholders of the Company seeking their approval of the Redomicile Merger and related matters in addition to other matters. In addition, the Company may file other relevant documents concerning the proposed Redomicile Merger with the SEC.

 

This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. Stockholders of the Company are urged to read the registration statement on Form F-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus included within the registration statement and any other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed Merger because they will contain important information about the Company, Moxian BVI and the proposed transaction.
