Item 1.01          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 26, 2016, Western Graphite Inc. (the "Company") entered into a binding Master Equity Purchase Agreement – Equity Exchange agreement (the "Contract") with Atmosphere Global LLC ("Atmosphere"), a fully-operating company. Atmosphere, based in Chicago, IL, developed a proprietary formula for an eco-friendly product that serves as a cleaner, sanitizer and odor eliminator under the ATMOSPHERE label and has applications in numerous industries including, but not limited to, agribusiness, food processing, waste water, industrial and commercial cleaning, transportation waste and waste water, boating and marine and mining. ATMOSPHERE Odor Control works by deconstructing (not just masking) harmful gasses and, at the same time, bringing pollutants to a neutral pH, thus improving the environment. One important application that makes ATMOSPHERE a unique and important addition to farming is ATMOSPHERE's use in the CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation for Hogs, Chicken or Dairy). ATMOSPHERE will eliminate Ammonia and Hydrogen Sulfide in the air when misted and tests are underway to validate that ATMOSPHERE can scrub the discharge air killing pathogens that plague livestock farming such as Avian Bird Flu, PRRS, PEDV, Salmonella, Camphobacter and E Coli.

 

The Contract sets forth a two-phase acquisition by the Company of Atmosphere's equity. Phase One involves the Company's purchase, with certain restrictions, of 30% of the equity of Atmosphere as well as an advisory board seat in consideration for Class B Membership Units equal to 30% of Atmosphere. Phase Two involves the Company's purchase of Class B Membership Interests equal to additional Percent of the equity of Atmosphere in consideration of $1.5M funded in four tranches.

The Seller shall have sixty days to exercise its redemption option.

 

Seller has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Letter Agreement, and each of the transactions contemplated hereby. No other action is necessary to authorize such execution, delivery and performance, and upon such execution and delivery, this Letter Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.

 

Purchase has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Letter Agreement, and each of the transactions contemplated hereby. No other action is necessary to authorize such execution, delivery and performance, and upon such execution and delivery, this Letter Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

 

The Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree and consent to be subject to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, the Letter Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
