Item
8.01 Other Events
Petrolia
Energy Corporation (“Petrolia” or the “Company”) entered into a General Indemnity Agreement (the “GIA”)
with Argonaut Insurance Company (“Argo”) on October 4, 2016, in which Argo, as surety, issued Bond Nos. SUR0038623 and SUR0038641
(the “Bonds”). The State of New Mexico Oil Conservation Division and The State of Texas Railroad Commission were the obligees.
On
August 7, 2017, and September 21, 2017, Argo forwarded written demands to Petrolia, pursuant to paragraph 12 of the GIA, requesting (i)
a full and complete release of the Bonds and/or (ii) an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of Argo for the amount of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
U.S. DOLLARS ($100,000.00). Argo purportedly chose to exercise its rights when it believed that Petrolia’s financial condition
was deteriorating and/or events were occurring that would have adversely impacted Argo’s risk.
On
October 25, 2017, Argo filed a suit in District Court, Harris County, Texas requesting injunctive relief and a declaratory judgment against
Petrolia stating that the Company had failed to comply with certain obligations under the GIA. This case was assigned to the 11th
District Court of Harris County, Texas under Cause No. 201771934.
On
March 6, 2018, Argo obtained a Final Judgment in this case in favor of Argo for the principal amount of FIFTY THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($50,000.00)
and for attorneys’ fees in the amount of TWO THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT U.S. DOLLARS and FIFTY CENTS ($2,748.50). Subsequently,
Petrolia began negotiating a mutually satisfactory resolution of this matter with Argo.
As
a result of negations between the companies, Petrolia and Argo reached a mutually satisfactory settlement and signed a Settlement Agreement
and Mutual Release dated December 30, 2021 (the “Settlement Agreement”). The Settlement Agreement required the Company to
pay Argo a lump sum of FIFTEEN THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($15,000.00). Petrolia paid the lump sum of FIFTEEN THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ($15,000.00)
on December 31, 2021. Argo accepted the lump sum in full satisfaction of the March 6, 2018, Final Judgment.
On
January 7, 2022, Argo’s attorney of record filed a Release and Satisfaction of Judgment in the Court (the “Release of Judgement”).
As a result, the court case is now closed, and the matter is fully and finally resolved between the parties. A copy of both the Settlement
Agreement and the Release of Judgement are being submitted as exhibits with this filing.
