Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 23, 2024, ZenSports, Inc. (“ZenSports”) filed a Complaint and Demand for Arbitration (the “Complaint”) against KeyStar Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) with the American Arbitration Association, Las Vegas Regional Office. In the Complaint, ZenSports alleges that we made misrepresentations of material facts and engaged in deceptive trade practices in connection with our purchase of certain assets from ZenSports pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated August 26, 2022. ZenSports requested an award of recission damages in the amount of $6,500,000, plus three times that amount as treble damages pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 598A.210. We have maintained from the beginning that the claims set forth in the Complaint are without merit. On May 11, 2024, we engaged in mediation with ZenSports in an effort to resolve claims set forth in the Complaint.

 

As a result of the mediation, on May 23, 2024, we entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) with ZenSports, Mark Thomas, our former Chief Executive Officer and the founder and Chief Executive Officer of ZenSports (“Thomas” and, together with ZenSports, the “ZenSports Parties”) and Bruce Cassidy, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Cassidy”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, we are not required to pay any sums or issue any securities to the ZenSports Parties.

 

The Agreement resolves the Complaint and any and all other matters between the parties to the Agreement, and includes the following provisions:

 

(1) Excel Family Partners, LLLP (“Excel”) will purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock from ZenSports for an aggregate purchase price of $600,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is to be paid by Excel to ZenSports in 24 equal monthly installments. Payment of the Purchase Price is personally guaranteed by Cassidy.

 

(2) We agreed that we would not object if the ZenSports Parties cause ZenSports to divest, sell, transfer, distribute and otherwise relinquish control of any or all of the remaining 5,500,000 shares of our common stock that it holds to one or more individuals or entities other than ZenSports (the “ZenSports Divestiture”), with no part of such ZenSports Divestiture to occur before August 27, 2024.

 

(3) We agreed that we will employ commercially reasonable efforts to file our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with all applicable law, rules, and regulations through and including December 31, 2025.

 

(4) Not later than December 31, 2024, Thomas and the ZenSports Parties shall have taken such steps as shall be required, such that, as of such date, Thomas and the ZenSports Parties collectively shall own of record and beneficially not more than 4.99% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Thomas Divestiture”).

 

(5) We may, from time to time, choose to apply for licenses, permits, and/or other approvals for gaming-related operations in various jurisdictions (each, a “New License”), including but not limited to entering into contractual agreements or joint ventures with other licensed entities. Upon request, the ZenSports Parties shall use their best efforts to assist and cooperate with the Company, and assure the assistance and cooperation of ZenSports and its officers and employees, in our efforts to secure New Licenses (“License Assistance”). The License Assistance does not convey to Thomas or ZenSports any right whatsoever to decide, control, or direct the Company’s gaming operations and neither Thomas nor ZenSports shall receive any profits, distributions, or economic distributions from any such gaming operations, except that, we will pay Thomas $15,000 for each application or approval that he is required to prepare (and does prepare) or in which he otherwise participates, such payment shall be due 30 days prior to the due date of the application or approval. The obligation for the ZenSports Parties to provide the License Assistance will continue until such time as the ZenSports Divestiture and the Thomas Divestiture are both complete.

 

The full text of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. You are urged to read said exhibit attached hereto in its entirety.

Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet  Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 4, 2024, we disclosed that on December 29, 2023 we entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Discretionary Non-Revolving Line Of Credit Demand Note with Excel in the principal amount of not more than $2,000,000 (the “Note”). The aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans under the Note as of the date of the Note was $1,135,000.

 

On May 21, 2024, we borrowed an additional $325,000 under the Note. As of May 28, 2024, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans under the Note is $6,335,000.

 

All loans made under the Note accrue interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 15.0% (the “Fixed Rate”). On the first day of each month to the date on which Excel demands payment of the Note, we will pay to Excel interest, in arrears, on the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Note at the Fixed Rate.

 

Notwithstanding the above, outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest are due and payable upon demand. We have the right to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time; provided, however, we must (i) provide Excel prior written notice of our intention to make such prepayment; and (ii) pay to Excel all interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Note to the date of such prepayment.

 

If we: (i) fail to comply with any provision under the Note, including, but not limited to, failing to immediately pay all amounts due to Excel after demand thereof is made; or (ii) become subject to certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, at the option of Excel, the unpaid principal amount of the Note, accrued interest thereon, any fees or any other sums payable thereunder will thereafter until paid in full bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Rate plus 2.00%.

 

Excel may, at its sole option, upon written notice, convert all or any portion of the indebtedness incurred under the Note (“Debt”) into fully paid and non-assessable Shares at a conversion price in an amount equal to the product of the Lowest Recent Price multiplied by 80%. The Lowest Recent Price is the lowest price per Share that we have sold one or more Shares to an investor or lender within the 24-month period prior to an applicable date of conversion; provided, however, that if no Shares were sold within such 24-month period, the Lowest Recent Price will be $0.50 per Share.

 

In case of a stock split, a stock combination, or a reverse stock split of the Shares, the number of Shares into which any Debt may be converted and the conversion price shall be proportionately adjusted in the manner determined by the Board acting in good faith. Furthermore, in connection with any reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change of outstanding Shares, or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity, Excel shall have the right thereafter, by converting the Debt, to receive upon such conversion the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of Shares that could have been received upon conversion of the Debt immediately prior to such reclassification, capital reorganization, or other change, consolidation or merger.

 

The full text of the Note is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. You are urged to read said exhibit attached hereto in its entirety.

Exhibit 10.1

 

SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

 

This SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 23^rd day of May 2024 (“Effective Date”) by and among ZenSports, Inc., a Delaware corporation ( “ZenSports”), Mark Thomas, an individual and founder and Chief Executive Officer of ZenSports (“Mr. Thomas” and, together with ZenSports, the “ZenSports Parties”), KeyStar Corp., a Nevada corporation (“KeyStar”), and Bruce Cassidy, an individual and Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of KeyStar (“Mr. Cassidy” and, together with KeyStar, the “KeyStar Parties”). The foregoing individuals and entities are at times referred to herein collectively as the “Parties,” or individually as a “Party.”

 

BACKGROUND

 

	A.	KeyStar, ZenSports, and related parties entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement effective August 26, 2022 (the “APA”), whereby KeyStar purchased a substantial portion of ZenSports’ assets in exchange for $500,000 in cash and 6,500,000 shares of common stock of KeyStar (the “KeyStar Stock”).
	B.	ZenSports currently is the record and beneficial owner of all of the KeyStar Stock that it acquired pursuant to the APA.
	C.	A dispute arose among the Parties pertaining to certain disclosures made in or omitted from the APA and certain business transactions and operations of KeyStar (collectively, the “Dispute”).
	D.	On or about February 23, 2024, ZenSports filed an Arbitration Demand, styled ZenSports, Inc. v. KeyStar Corp., Case No. 01-24-0002-3556, which is presently pending before the American Arbitration Association (the “Complaint”).
	E.	In an effort to resolve the Dispute, the Parties participated in a mediation before Hon. Bruce Meyerson (Ret.) in Scottsdale, AZ on May 11, 2024.
	F.	Without any Party admitting liability or fault, and in compromise of each of their positions and rights, the Parties now wish to resolve the Dispute, and compromise and settle all claims and disputes that the Parties may now or in the future have, known or unknown, regarding the Dispute, the Complaint, and any other business dealings between the Parties.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals, covenants, releases, and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.	BACKGROUND INCORPORATED. The Background set forth above is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement by this reference with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein.
2.	CONSIDERATION. The Parties agree that, in resolution of the Dispute and the Complaint, and the consideration and obligations set forth in this Agreement, they agree to each of the following:

 

a.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the KeyStar Parties will cause Excel Family Partners, LLLP, a Florida limited liability limited partnership (“Excel”), to execute and deliver (i) a stock purchase agreement substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “SPA”), whereby Excel will purchase and ZenSports will sell 1,000,000 (one million) shares of the KeyStar Stock (such 1,000,000 shares are referred to as the “Transfer Stock”) pursuant to the terms of the SPA; and (ii) an unsecured promissory note substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B, with an initial principal balance of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000), payable to ZenSports (the “Note”), which shall be personally guaranteed by Mr. Cassidy. The Parties agree that the Note is fair and acceptable consideration for the Transfer Stock. No other consideration is required for the transactions contemplated by this Section 2(a).

 

 

 

	b.	Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the ZenSports Parties will cause ZenSports to execute and deliver (i) the SPA and (ii) letter of instructions substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C (the “Instructions”) to authorize ClearTrust, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“ClearTrust”), as the transfer agent of KeyStar, to transfer the registration of the Transfer Stock from ZenSports to Excel. The Instructions must be duly executed by ZenSports with medallion guarantee signature.
	c.	KeyStar does not object if the ZenSports Parties cause ZenSports to divest, sell, transfer, distribute and otherwise relinquish control of any or all of the remaining 5,500,000 (five million five hundred thousand) shares of the KeyStar Stock (such 5,500,000 shares of the KeyStar Stock are referred to as the “Divestiture Stock”) that it holds to one or more individuals or entities other than ZenSports (the “ZenSports Divestiture”), with no part of such ZenSports Divestiture to occur before August 27, 2024.
	d.	ZenSports will use documents and forms reasonably approved by ClearTrust to complete the transfer of any or all of the shares of Divestiture Stock. ZenSports will be responsible for and will promptly pay all fees charged by ClearTrust in regard to all such transfers.
	e.	Not later than December 31, 2024, Mr. Thomas and the ZenSports Parties shall have taken such steps as shall be required, such that, as of such date, Mr. Thomas and the ZenSports Parties collectively shall own of record and beneficially not more than 4.99% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of KeyStar common stock (such steps, the “Thomas Divestiture”). Each of the Parties understands and agrees that Mr. Thomas’s beneficial ownership of shares of common stock of KeyStar includes all shares of which he is the record or beneficial owner as that term is defined in Section 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, e.g., in a brokerage account in his name, through an entity or trust or otherwise. For example, if Mr. Thomas owns 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of ZenSports and if ZenSports owns 9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of KeyStar, Mr. Thomas would be deemed to “indirectly” own 7.2% (9% x 80% = 7.2%) of the issued and outstanding shares of KeyStar. Within ten (10) days of the completion of the Thomas Divestiture, Mr. Thomas shall provide written notice to KeyStar to certify that the Thomas Divestiture was completed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
	f.	KeyStar may, from time to time, choose to apply for licenses, permits, and/or other approvals for gaming-related operations in various jurisdictions (each, a “New License”), including but not limited to entering into contractual agreements or joint ventures with other licensed entities. Upon request, the ZenSports Parties shall use their best efforts to assist and cooperate with KeyStar, and assure the assistance and cooperation of ZenSports and its officers and employees, in KeyStar’s efforts to secure New Licenses (“License Assistance”).

 

	i.	The License Assistance shall not convey to Mr. Thomas or ZenSports any right whatsoever to decide, control, or direct KeyStar’s gaming operations and neither Mr. Thomas nor ZenSports shall receive any profits, distributions, or economic distributions from any such gaming operations, except that, KeyStar shall pay Mr. Thomas $15,000 for each application or approval that he is required to prepare (and does prepare) or in which he otherwise participates, such payment shall be due thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the application or approval.
	ii.	The Parties understand agree that the License Assistance will likely require and include, but not be limited to, the completion of applications and forms, the production of personal and or business documents, background checks of Mr. Thomas, interviews and appearances, and such other related services necessary for KeyStar to apply for and submit applications for New Licenses, all such efforts and documents to be under KeyStar’s review and control.

 

2

 

	iii.	The obligation for the ZenSports Parties to provide the License Assistance shall continue until such time as the ZenSports Divestiture and the Thomas Divestiture are both complete.
	iv.	The License Assistance is a limited collaboration between the Parties. It does not create a joint company, joint venture, or other legal entity between KeyStar and ZenSports or between KeyStar and Mr. Thomas, and each Party shall continue to bear responsibility for each Party’s own business. Nothing in the License Assistance allows either Party to commit or bind the other Party for any purpose whatsoever.

 

	g.	KeyStar shall employ commercially reasonable efforts to file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with all applicable law, rules, and regulations through and including December 31, 2025.
	h.	These settlement terms shall resolve the Dispute, the Complaint, and any and all other matters between the Parties, specifically including any and all claims arising out of the APA, ZenSports’ ownership of KeyStar Stock, KeyStar’s operations, transactions, and management, and Mr. Thomas’ prior employment in any capacity at KeyStar.

 

3.	RELEASES. The ZenSports Parties and the KeyStar Parties, each with respect to the other, on behalf of such party and each such party’s respective directors, officers, stockholders, investors, managers, creditors, employees, successors, heirs, and assigns and all representatives, agents, and attorneys of each of the foregoing, as applicable (together, the “Releasing Parties”), do hereby mutually release, waive, relinquish, disavow, and forever discharge the other party, and each such other party’s respective directors, officers, stockholders, investors, managers, creditors, employees, successors, heirs, and assigns and all representatives, agents and attorneys of each of the foregoing, as applicable (the “Released Parties” or “Releasees”) of and from any and all claims, actions, or causes of action (including, without limitation, any claims for contract or tort damages, punitive damages, misrepresentation, violation of any law, statute, or administrative regulation, and any other damages or loss or other form of relief), debts, demands, payments, rights, obligations, loss, judgments, awards, attorneys’ fees, costs, interests, damages, lawsuits, liabilities, claims for reimbursement for costs or expenses, offsets, taxes, counterclaims and defenses to collection or enforcement, benefits and causes of action of whatever kinds, nature, or character, known or unknown, suspected, fixed or contingent, past, present, or future, in law or in equity (collectively, “Claims”), that any of the Releasing Parties have, have had, or may have against any of the Released Parties from the beginning of time through and including the date of this Agreement, specifically relating to but not limited to any Claims in any way related to or stemming from the Dispute, the Complaint, the APA, ZenSports’ ownership of KeyStar Stock, KeyStar’s operations, transactions, and management, and Mr. Thomas’ prior employment in any capacity at KeyStar. For the avoidance of doubt, these general releases are intended to cover any and all claims, causes of action, damages, personal or economic injuries, rights, or liabilities whatsoever, including attorneys’ fees, costs and litigation expenses, whether grounded in contract, tort, equity, or regulatory violation that exist or may have existed between or among each of the KeyStar Parties, and each of its officers, stockholders, and investors, and the ZenSports Parties, and each of its officers, stockholders, and investors, as of the Effective Date.
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, this release will not be applicable to any of the obligations contained in this Agreement.
4.	UNKNOWN CLAIMS. The releases set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement are executed with the full knowledge and understanding by each of the Parties that there may be more serious consequences or damages as a result of ownership, employment, or other business relationship between or among the Parties, which are now not known. The Parties knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all rights they may have under any statute or any common law principle that would limit the effect of the foregoing releases based upon their knowledge at the Effective Date. The Parties understand the provisions of this Section and knowingly and voluntarily enter into this waiver with the intention of executing this Agreement to discharge each other and all persons and entities released herein from any and all present and future, foreseen and unforeseen, known and unknown claims and causes of action. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement, and that, without such waiver, the Agreement would not have been executed and delivered.

5.	Covenant Not to Sue. Each of the KeyStar Parties, on the one hand, hereby agrees not to sue or initiate a claim or any litigation against any of the ZenSports Releasees, and each of the ZenSports Parties, on the other hand, hereby agrees not to sue or initiate a claim or any litigation against any of the KeyStar Releasees, any action, charge, claim, or proceeding, or to participate in the same, individually or as a member of a class, pertaining in any manner whatsoever to the Dispute or the Complaint; provided, however, either Party may sue or initiate such action against the other Party in order to enforce the rights and obligations of each Party pursuant to this Agreement.
6.	NO ADMISSIONS. Each of the Parties understands and agrees that this Agreement and the settlement provided for herein, are intended to compromise disputed claims and defenses, including, without limitation, any claims, defenses, cross-claims, and any other claim that could have been brought in a lawsuit or any other dispute resolution mechanism, or that otherwise existed between or among the Parties, and to buy peace, and that this Agreement and the settlement provided for herein shall not be construed or viewed as an admission by any Party of liability or wrongdoing, such liability being expressly denied. This Agreement, and the settlement provided for herein, shall not be admissible in any lawsuit, administrative action, or any judicial or administrative proceeding if offered to show, demonstrate, evidence, or support a contention that any of the Parties acted illegally, improperly, or in breach of law, contract, or proper conduct.
7.	CONFIDENTIALITY. This Agreement, the details of the settlement hereunder, and any and all non-public knowledge, data, or other Confidential Information (as defined below), including, specifically, any information relating in any way to the License Assistance, are intended to remain, and will remain, confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party, whomsoever, except in compliance with an order of a court, subpoena, or other legal procedure. The exceptions to this general rule are disclosures (i) to a Party’s attorneys, accountants, tax preparation professionals, or insurance carriers, (ii) required by the applicable legal Rules of Professional Conduct or other rule or law, (iii) in the context of any action to enforce this Agreement, and (iv) in the context of routine operations of their respective businesses. If served with a subpoena requiring a Party to disclose Confidential Information, the Party served shall promptly notify all other Parties of the service in order to provide the other Parties with the opportunity to object, if desired. For clarity, this confidentiality obligation obligates each Party to refrain from aiding, assisting, or furnishing any Confidential Information of any Party to any third parties known to be harboring, threatening, or asserting claims against either any of the KeyStar Parties or any of the ZenSports Parties. Moreover, each Party acknowledges and agrees that any other confidentiality provisions in any other agreement or contract between or among the Parties shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent there are any conflicts between or among the confidentiality obligations set forth herein and any other agreement between or among the Parties, then the most restrictive obligation shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required under applicable law or agreement, a Party may share Confidential Information about another Party internally to the extent necessary for the routine operation of such Party’s respective businesses; provided, however, that any officer, employee, stockholder or other equity holder, debtholder, or a “SAFE” holder of a Party to whom Confidential Information is disclosed under this provision agrees to keep such information confidential and agrees to instruct such Party’s officers, employees, stockholders or other equity holders, debtholders, or “SAFE” holders of a Party to keep such information confidential. The term “Confidential Information” means all reports, notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations, financial information, or other documents prepared by a Party or an entity that contains, reflects, or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished to the other Party at any time.
8.	NO REPRESENTATIONS MADE. No representation of any kind concerning any subject has been made by or on behalf of the Parties or any of the Released Parties that has in any way influenced any of the Party’s respective decisions to enter into this Agreement.
9.	NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Each of the Parties agrees and covenants that that each will not make any derogatory remarks or statements about any other Party to any person or group, whether public or private, or place the other Party in an unflattering light (regardless of whether such statements or information are believed to be true or not). This covenant shall apply to all forms of communication, without limitation, whether oral or written, electronic, or by comment to third party or media outlet, via all forms of internet and social media. This obligation of this non-disparagement provision extends to the Parties’ respective counsel, without limitation. This non-disparagement provision is a material term of this Agreement and its violation shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

10.	NO ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS.

17.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Each of this Agreement, the SPA, and the Note, collectively, constitutes a single, integrated, written contract, expressing the entire understanding and agreement between and among the Parties, and the terms of each of the Agreement, the SPA, and the Note are contractual and not merely recitals.
