Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 30, 2007, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved restricted stock grants in the aggregate amount of 950,000 shares to certain of our officers, employees and outside consultants pursuant to our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which was included in the Definitive Proxy Statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 20, 2004, and is incorporated herein by this reference. Restricted stock grants were made to eleven persons, including the following executive officers: Boris Cherdabayev, CEO, Gamal Kulumbetov, COO, Sanat Kasymov, CFO, Askar Tashtitov, President and Adam Cook, Corporate Secretary.

 

All the restricted stock grants were awarded on the same terms and subject to same vesting requirements. More specifically, the restricted stock grants will vest to the grantees at such time as either of the following events occurs (the “Vesting Events”): i) the Company enters commercial production and is granted a commercial production license from the Republic of Kazakhstan; or ii) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event. An “Extraordinary Event” is defined in the restricted stock agreement as any consolidation or merger of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with another person, or any acquisition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any person or group of persons, acting in concert, equal to thirty percent (30%) or more of the outstanding stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In the event of an Extraordinary Event, the grants shall be deemed full vested one day prior to the effective date of the Extraordinary Event. The Board of Directors shall determine conclusively whether or not an Extraordinary Event has occurred and the grantees have agreed to be bound by the determination of the Board of Directors.

 

The shares representing the restricted stock grants shall be issued as soon as practicable, will be deemed outstanding from the time they are issued, and will be held in escrow by the Company subject to the occurrence of a Vesting Event. The grantees will have the right to vote the shares, receive dividends and enjoy all other rights of ownership over the entire grant amount from the grant date, except for the right to transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, dispose of or otherwise directly or indirectly profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction in the shares prior to the occurrence of a Vesting Event. Shares will only vest to the grantee if the grantee is employed by the Company at the time a Vesting Event occurs. If a Vesting Event has not occurred at the time a grantee’s employment with the Company ceases, for any reason, the entire grant amount shall be forfeited back to the Company.
