Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On March 23, 2016, Rise Resources Inc. (the Company) adopted an incentive stock option plan and granted an aggregate of 2,700,000 options to various directors and consultants. Each option vests immediately and is exercisable into one share of the Companys common stock at a price of $0.15 per share until March 22, 2021.
Of the 2,700,000 options, the Company granted 900,000 to Fred Tejada, the President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and a director of the Company, 700,000 to Cale Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and a director of the Company, and 200,000 to Michael Evans, a director of the Company. The remaining 900,000 options were granted to consultants to the Company.
The Company granted the options in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Regulation S). The Companys reliance on Rule 903 of Regulation S was based on the fact that the options were granted in offshore transactions, as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. The Company did not engage in any directed selling efforts in the United States in connection with the grant of the options, and the grantees were not U.S. persons and did not acquire the options for the account or benefit of any U.S. person.
In accordance with Rule 135c(d) under the Securities Act, a copy of the press release announcing the granting of the options is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
