In furtherance of the BDSA, Wilshire assigned FEL to Foothills on its organization in exchange for 4.5 million shares of Foothills, and Foothills thereby acquired control of the Springs Prospect, owned by FEL, consisting of 38,120 contiguous acres. Foothills regards the Springs Prospect as a valuable multiple objective oil resource play in the Greater Green River Basin of Wyoming. Through Wilshire’s assistance, Foothills entered into two agreements with Alternus, whereby Foothills obtained a total of $1,000,000 of financing in the form of convertible notes that upon completion of the Share Exchange were converted, at $0.665 per share, into 1,503,759 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the hiring of Ritchie Lanclos as Executive Vice President of the Company and Vice President of Exploration of FPI, and Eleazar Ovalle as Executive Vice President of the Company and Vice President of Geology and Geophysical of FPI, FPI agreed to pay Wilshire, one of our principal shareholders, pursuant to a Services Agreement entered into by and between FPI and Wilshire, a fee of 25% of the gross annual salary, including all cash and equity compensation, but excluding any bonuses to be received by Mr. Lanclos and Mr. Ovalle. In the event either of Mr. Lanclos or Mr. Ovalle leaves FPI of his own volition or is terminated for cause within 90 days from August 15, 2016 or August 11, 2016, respectively, the commencement day of their employment, Wilshire shall refund FPI 100% of fees received, minus $2,500. Alternus Capital Holdings Limited On December 24, 2015, FPI entered into a convertible promissory note in the amount of $600,000 with Alternus. The two-year note originally matured on December 23, 2017, and accrued interest at 8% per year. By its terms the note was automatically required to convert the outstanding principal and interest due under the terms of the note upon a merger or other combination occurring between FPI and an entity with shares listed for trading, which occurred on May 27, 2016. The conversion price of the note was established at $0.665 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as described below. On April 5, 2016, and under substantially similar terms described herein, FPI received an additional $400,000 from Alternus. Under the agreements between Alternus and Foothills, Alternus had the right but not the obligation to subscribe for an aggregate of up to $3,500,000 of convertible notes, which, in the event of that full subscription, would convert into not less than 30% of the then outstanding shares of the “public” company. Through May 27, 2016, the date the Share Exchange, Alternus had invested $1,000,000 and based on the Conversion Price was issued 1,503,759 shares of the Company’s common stock in full satisfaction of its two notes. All accrued interest was waived and recorded as additional paid in capital. On December 30, 2016, Foothills, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Foothills Exploration Operating, Inc. (“FEOI”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Total Belief Limited (see Note 1). As a result of the purchase and sale agreement the Company acquired a $10,600 related party payable due to Equipment Solutions, Inc., which is owned by a director of the Company, Alex Hemb. As of June 30, 2017, the balance was paid off. Berwin Trading Limited Effective January 6, 2017, the Company borrowed $1,250,000 from Berwin Trading Limited, a British Virgin Islands limited liability company. The Company executed a promissory note, titled as a Debenture, with the lender dated as of December 30, 2016, with proceeds being received by the Company on January 6, 2017. This loan is unsecured, bears interest at 9% per year and is due and payable in 120 days from the receipt of funds. If any amount payable is not paid when due, any such overdue amount shall bear interest at the default rate of 11% from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full. The Company used net proceeds of this loan to satisfy certain obligations under a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Total Belief Limited, dated December 30, 2016, for general working capital and to support certain target drilling activities. As of June 30, 2017, the balance of accrued interest was $81,370. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded interest expense in the amount of $53,322 and $81,370, respectively. On May 5, 2017, the Company and Berwin agreed to extend the maturity date of the debenture to June 20, 2017, in return for an annual interest rate increase from 9% to 13.5% per annum for the life of the debenture. The Company and Berwin have been in discussions to extend the term of this debenture and the Company believes it will either extend or repay the obligation to the satisfaction of Berwin. |
