Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 20, 2015, New Asia Energy Inc (OTCQB: NAEI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Jun Wei Kang Biotechnology Co Ltd, ("JWK") a Company registered in the People's Republic of China and listed on the Shanghai Equity Exchange under the symbol "SEEQ:206322"). JWK owns and operates extensive facilities for the cultivation, harvesting, processing, production, distribution and sale of value-added ginseng and other related products that enhance and promote healthy living. JWK has over 5,000 square meters of office and laboratory space and research and development facilities, processing and production plants and over 50 retail stores located throughout China. Jilin Province provides over 85% of the Ginseng raw feedstocks produced in China and 70% of the ginseng raw feedstocks produced world-wide and JWK is a leading provider of Ginseng value-added products in Jilin Province and throughout China.
The parties have agreed that within 30 days after the execution of the MOU, JWK and/or its nominees will make an initial purchase of equity in NAEI for an amount to be determined by mutual agreement of the Parties. This purchase will be set forth in one or more definitive purchase agreements, which will be negotiated and executed by the parties during this 30-day period.
The parties have also agreed to evaluate the potential for NAEI to (i) develop, install and operate renewable energy facilities at JWK's cultivation, production and R&D facilities in Jilin Province, China, and (ii) supply renewable energy to JWK's facilities under "take-or-pay," Build-Own-Operate or Build-Own-Operate-and Transfer contractual vehicles, in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the JWK facilities, offset the use of fossil fuels and potentially provide some cost savings to JWK. Through its cultivation, harvesting and processing activities, JWK has access to agricultural wastes and other by-products of production that are expected to be excellent sources of feedstock for these renewable energy facilities. The foregoing arrangements are subject to the parties' agreement on the terms and conditions thereof, as well as definitive agreements relating thereto.
