EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A Amendment Number Two (“Amended Form 8-K”) is filed by CoJax Oil and Gas Corporation, a Virginia corporation, (“Company”) for the sole purpose of making the corrections set forth below to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Company with the Commission on June 22, 2020 (“Original Form 8-K”), which errors were inadvertent typographical errors.
Correction 1. Item 1.01 and Item 3.02 of the Original Form 8-K: The number of shares of Company Common Stock, $0.01par value per share, (“Common Stock”) issuable under, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to closing of, the Acquisition Agreement between Company and Barrister Energy, LLC (“Acquisition Agreement”) in the exchange of shares of Common Stock for all of Barrister Energy, LLC’s issued membership interests is Three Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand (3,650,000), not Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand (7,500,000) as stated in the Original Form 8-K. The errors were an inadvertent typographical error. Further, the consideration issuable under the Acquisition Agreement is subject to customary adjustments.
Further, the revised anticipated closing date for the Acquisition Agreement and exchange of shares of Common Stock for Barrister membership interests is on or before August 7, 2020.
Name of Person or Entity | Ownership of Shares of CoJax Common Stock owned prior to Exchange | Shares of CoJax Common Stock Issued in Exchange | Ownership of Shares of CoJax Common Stock after consummation of Exchange | Percentage of Issued and Outstanding of CoJax Common Stock before Exchange | Percentage of Issued and Outstanding Shares of CoJax Common Stock after consummation of Exchange |
Andrew S. Cardell | - | 182,500 | 182,500 | 0% | 5.00% |
Jeffrey Delancey | - | 304,045 | 304,045 | 0% | 8.33% |

Roger McLeod | - | 2,920,000 | 2,920,000 | 0% | 80.00% |
Jeffrey Guzy | 1 | 0 | 1 | 100% | Less than 1% |
Correction 3: The risk factor in Item 1A Risk Factors of the original Form 8-K is restated below to accurately reflect the Company’s election to take advantage of reduced or delayed disclosure obligations under the JOBS Act.
predict if investors will find our shares of common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our shares of common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our shares of common stock and our share price may be more volatile. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies also can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of reduced and delayed disclosure obligations afforded emerging growth companies.
Correction 4. The Original Form 8-K as displayed on SEC EDGAR system had distorted text from an error in EDGAR transmission for subsections (2) through (11) of Item 1.01. The distorted text, without any changes, is set forth below:
(2) Rescission Rights of CoJax: CoJax will have the right to rescind the Exchange prior to the expiration of Rescission Period (as defined above) upon the occurrence of any of the following: (a) any Member files a petition for protection from creditors under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and that petition is not withdrawn within sixty (60) days, a receiver or other liquidating officer is appointed for substantially all of the assets or business of a Member, (b) or if Barrister makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors of all or substantially all of its operating assets; or (c) if CoJax does not acquire 100% of Membership Interests of Barrister in the Exchange at the closing of the Agreement.
(3) Assumption of Assumed Debt. If the Exchange is rescinded by Company or Members under the Agreement, then Barrister is required to assume the unpaid balance of the Assumed Debt from the Company and to do so concurrently with the rescission of the Exchange. The Assumed Debt resulted from Barrister purchasing its current oil and gas exploration and production rights and related operating assets from Central Operating, LLC, a Mississippi limited liability company, under a June 1, 2019 Purchase and Sale Agreement, which agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.2 (“2019 Purchase Agreement”).
(4) Dispute Resolution. Except for a dispute, claim, cause of action or controversy arising out of or relating to or based on Barrister not reassuming the Assumed Debt upon a timely rescission of the Exchange by Barrister Members, any other dispute, claim, cause of action or controversy arising out of or relating to or based on the rescission of the Exchange and related provisions of this Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of the agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by mandatory arbitration in Jackson, Mississippi before one (1) arbitrator. The JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure will be used in any arbitration. CoJax may enforce Barrister’s obligation to re-assume the Assumed Debts if and upon Barrister Members timely rescinding the Exchange by injunctive action.
(5) Indemnification. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants of each party and customary closing conditions. Breaches of the representations and warranties will be subject to customary indemnification provisions, subject to specified aggregate limits of liability. Specifically, The Agreement has mutual indemnification provisions covering breach of Agreement and inaccuracies in representations and warranties. Barrister Members also indemnify CoJax and its affiliates for any criminal act, violation of securities laws, fraud, or gross negligence by indemnifying Member and Barrister indemnifies CoJax and its affiliates for certain taxes due as of the closing of the Exchange. Indemnification liability for parties to the Agreement is capped at $100,000.
(6) Costs. All costs incurred in connection with the Exchange and Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense. No party will pay or be liable for or owe any break-up fee or termination fee to any of the other parties in the event that the Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and conditions prior to or after consummation of the Exchange or the Exchange is rescinded in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
(7) Brokers. No broker’s fees or finder’s fees were paid or owed by CoJax in connection with the Exchange or Agreement.
(8) Governing Law. The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Mississippi.
(9) Restricted Shares. CoJax Shares are “restricted securities” under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) and under applicable state securities laws and regulations. Each of the Barrister Members receiving the CoJax Shares in the Exchange will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of the CoJax Shares in any manner which would violate any federal or applicable state securities laws or regulations or eliminate the availability to CoJax of its exemption from registration requirements, which exemption is relied upon by CoJax for issuance of CoJax Shares in the Exchange.
(10) Warranties. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties. The representations, warranties, and covenants of each party set forth in the Agreement have been made only for the purposes of, and were and are solely for the benefit of the parties to, the Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting
parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, the representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time, and investors in CoJax should not rely on them as statements of fact.
(11) Registration Rights. CoJax has not agreed to register under the Securities Act the resale of the CoJax Shares issued in the Exchange. CoJax Common Stock, including CoJax Shares, is not yet qualified for resales under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
