SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Power Up Lending Group.

Convertible Promissory Note:

On January 15, 2021, BlackStar Enterprise Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) and Power Up Lending Group Ltd. (“Holder”) entered into a convertible promissory note totaling $43,500 (Exhibit 10.1) and a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) (Exhibit 10.2), (altogether, the “Transaction Documents”).

The Company executed a 10% convertible promissory note of the Company with Holder, in the principal amount of $43,500 (the “Note”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such Note. The Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1. The Holder may convert the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Note into restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company at a discount of 39% of the Market Price. The Company has initially reserved out of its authorized Common Stock 20,871,651 shares of Common Stock for conversion pursuant to the Note, as evidenced by the Transfer Agent Letter attached as Exhibit 10.3.

The Note, bearing an interest rate of 10%, dated January 15, 2021 (the “Issue Date”) for $43,500 matures on January 15, 2022. The Note and SPA were closed on January 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) and the Company received $40,000 on January 20, 2021, with the remaining $3,500 being retained by the Holder to cover legal and due diligence fees. The Note additionally bears an interest rate of 22% per annum in the Event of Default.

Prepayment. The Company may prepay the Note in whole or in part at any time, up to 180 days after the Issue Date, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with premium interest thereon to the date of prepayment (120% 1-60 days; 125% 61-90 days; 130% 91-120 days; 135% 121-150 days; and 139% 151-180 days). After 180 days from the Issue Date, the Company may submit an Optional Prepayment Notice to the Holder. Upon receipt by the Holder of the Optional Prepayment Notice post Prepayment Periods, the prepayment shall be subject to the Holder’s and the Company’s agreement with respect to the applicable Prepayment Percentage.

No Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not be entitled to convert any portion of the Note in excess of that portion upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained in the Note) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Regulations 13D-G thereunder. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth may NOT be waived by the Holder.

Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 61% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 39%). “Market Price” means the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for

such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as reasonably determined by the Borrower. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

Amounts Due in Events of Default:

Upon the failure to pay principal and interest, the Note shall become immediately due and payable. Upon the failure to issue conversion shares when Holder exercises said right, or other events of default outlined in the Note, then two times (2x) the Default Amount of the Note will become due and payable immediately. Any other form of default will entitle the Holder to an immediate payment of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Default Amount, being the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Note, plus any default interest and any other amounts owed.

Securities Purchase Agreement:

The Company and the Holder executed the Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration for offers and sales to accredited investors afforded, inter alia, by Rule 506 under Regulation D as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1933 Act, and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act. The SPA outlines the purchase of the Note (the “Securities”), and the Holder understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Holder set forth in the SPA in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Holder to acquire the Securities.

Transfer Agent Instruction Letter:

Until the Company’s obligations under the Note are paid and performed in full, the Transfer Agent of the Company is authorized to establish a reserve of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock of the Company in an amount not less than 20,871,651 shares for issuance upon partial or full conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Transfer Agent shall immediately add shares of Common Stock to the reserved shares as and when requested by Company in writing from time to time.
