Exhibit 10.1

 

Petrolia Energy Corporation

 

Best Efforts, No Minimum Offering

Private Placement Offering to Accredited Investors of

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

 

November 2021

Houston, Texas

 

The following information is provided to you as an accredited or offshore investor who has indicated an interest in investing in these securities. In addition, the Officers and Directors of Petrolia Energy Corporation (the “Company”) are available to answer questions and provide additional information you may request. However, first and foremost be advised that these securities involve a high degree of risk.

 

Financial Condition - The Company has been operating at a financial loss due to limited oil production, current liabilities and debt repayment obligations. However, since the Company’s purchase of a 50% working interest in the Utikuma Lake field in Alberta, Canada, we have added an estimated 250 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) of net production. The current monthly cash generated, and the future monetization of the Utikuma Lake asset are important factors in the future of the Company. The current co-owner and operator of the field is Blue Sky Resources (BSR), a company controlled by Zel Khan’s (the Company’s former CEO) father. We have retained Canadian counsel and are pursuing our options to ensure that we are paid our share of monthly production.

 

A current report on Form 8-K relating to the loss of our Twin Lakes field ownership was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as of October 25, 2021 (available at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1368637/000149315221026222/form8-k.htm) and should be read in detail. Prior management did not inform the Board about the impending loss of the field during the entire period they were receiving direct communication from the New Mexico authorities about the matter. An additional Form 8-K has been filed that describes the super majority voting Series B preferred stock that has been issued, which is available at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1368637/000149315221026224/form8-k.htm.

 

We are currently deficient in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our common stock is not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations on OTC Markets Group and such quotations are currently restricted from public viewing. As such, there is no quoted price of our common stock to base your investment decision on. Our common stock may never be quoted or traded publicly in the future.

 

The proceeds from this offering are planned to be used to (i) engage legal counsel to potentially take legal action against (a) the operator of our Utikuma asset and (b) former officers of the company, and (ii) complete and bring current our filings with the SEC.

 

Offering - The current offering is for up to an aggregate of 50,000 shares at a cost of $10.00 per share of preferred stock that is convertible into an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of common stock ($0.01 per share), subject in all cases to the Subscription Agreement attached hereto and the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, which are set forth in the Designation of such Series C Preferred Stock attached to the Subscription Agreement. The Series C Preferred Stock shares will earn an 8% cumulative dividend per annum (increasing to 11% after December 31, 2023), payable in kind, until they are converted to common stock or earlier redeemed. The dividend will be paid in kind. The minimum investment is $25,000 for 2,500 preferred shares. Investors can only be accredited investors or offshore. The offering may be increased, closed, extended, or expanded at any time by the Board of Directors. The shares are subject to redemption by the Company at par ($10.00 per share) subject to 30 days written notice during which time the holder may elect to convert into the common shares. The summary above is qualified in its entirety by the designation of the Series C Preferred Stock attached to the Subscription Agreement.

 

The foregoing disclosures, as well as information obtained from the Company during the investor’s due diligence investigation, contain various forward-looking statements that are based on our beliefs and assumptions made by and information currently available to us. Any statement that does not contain a historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement. The words “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” the negative of such terms, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Such statements may include statements regarding, and are subject to, certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, all of which speak only as of the date made. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.
