Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 7, 2023, Verde Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Andre van Zyl (“AvZ”) & Green Carbon Industries Group of Companies (“GCI”), headquartered in Western Australia, to actively pursue and put in place a mutually agreeable and fully funded project venture in North America, through the Company to securely ring-fence, support, preserve and implement the existing and related Intellectual Property of both parties and their respective subsidiaries/representatives, as well as to fund and support ongoing and future Research and Developments.
The intended project venture will also be responsible to establish a phased implementation plan for modified, scaled Biochar and Construction Char operations, that will be paired with new Cold Bio Emulsion and Cold Bio Mix technology plant production operations to be established for the production of low CO2 footprint construction material in the territory of North America. Upon successful implementation of the project venture, there will be further option to expand operations throughout the continents of South America’s, APAC, Europe, and Africa.
This technology makes possible high duty road base and road wearing course installations with superior performance, utilizing more cost-effective local soils and gravels with extended life of road performance, and substantially lower maintenance activities and cost.
Pursuant to the MOU, the Company shall assume principal responsibility for delineating and executing a trajectory conducive to effectuating a transition from the U.S. Over-the-Counter (USOTC) market to the Nasdaq exchange.
Upon the confirmation of a minimum funding quantum of USD 2 million, to be procured by the Company, both AvZ and the Company shall engage the MOU as a foundational framework for consummating a mutually assented contract. Concurrently, AvZ shall assume the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at the Company. This designation shall be accompanied by a pre-Nasdaq migration executive package, the validity of which shall persist until December 31, 2024. In tandem, an additional financial accumulation attaining a minimum threshold of USD 50 million, achieved via secondary offering during the Nasdaq Migration phase or through alternative mechanisms of capital procurement, shall act as a catalyst for the realization of a mutually concurred, elevated executive compensation arrangement. The elevated compensation package shall be activated or take precedence within the timeframe, should the successful secondary offering and Nasdaq migration occur prior to the specified date of December 31, 2024.
The term of the MOU shall become effective on August 7, 2023 and will remain in effect until modified or terminated by any one of the partners by mutual consent. In the absence of mentioned mutually acceptable agreements entered into for North America, by the authorized officials, this MOU shall end on December 31, 2024.

On August 7, 2023, the Company issued a Press Release announcing a partnership with Green Carbon Industries (GCI) securing exclusive access to its Biochar-Asphalt intellectual property (IP) rights and the formalization of partnership with Puro.earth for engineered carbon removal.
