Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The disclosure in Item 8.01 below is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Viking Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”), filed on November 20, 2018, on November 19, 2018, the Company closed its private offering of 10% Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), initially maturing August 31, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”), and 5-year warrants (the “Initial Warrants”) entitling the Note holders to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for every $100,000 invested. The Company had the right to extend the Maturity Date of the Notes to August 31, 2020, in exchange for issuing the Note holders an additional 115,000 warrants (5-year term and an exercise price of $0.20/share) for every $100,000 invested.

 

The Company extended the Notes and issued an additional 17,422,500 warrants (the “Extension Warrants”) in connection with the extension of the Maturity Date of the Notes to August 31, 2020. The exercise price of the Initial Warrants and Extension Warrants (collectively the “Warrants”) was $0.20 per share (the “Exercise Price”).

 

Effective as of October 31, 2019, all of the Warrant holders consented to reducing the Exercise Price of the Warrants from $0.20 per share to $0.10 per share (the “Adjusted Exercise Price”). There was no obligation for any warrant holder to exercise their Warrants at the Adjusted Exercise Price.

 

Multiple Warrant holders elected to exercise 20,416,350 Warrants (the “Exercised Warrants”), collectively, at the Adjusted Exercise Price for total consideration of $2,041,635.00, which was satisfied as follows:

 

 

(i)

as to $1,860,635.00 of such consideration, the applicable Warrant holders agreed to permit the Company to apply such amount against the principal amount owing by the Company to the Warrant holders under the Notes, thereby reducing the Company’s debt by such amount; and

 

 

 

 

(ii)

as to $181,000.00 of such consideration, the applicable Warrant holders agreed to pay the consideration to the Company via check or wire transfer.

 

The 20,416,350 shares of common stock to be issued by the Company to the Warrant holders in connection with the Exercised Warrants were considered sold as of October 31, 2019.

 

Following the extinguishment of the Exercised Warrants, as noted above, the Company’s total warrants outstanding were reduced from approximately 72,071,690 to 51,655,340.

 

The sale of the securities described herein were made in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder, as there was no general solicitation, the Warrant holders were accredited investors, and the issuances did not involve a public offering.
