Mr. Leibman also received 500,000 shares of Common Stock based on the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock previously held by Mr. Leibman, which he acquired using personal funds.  

 

On November 1, 2017, the Issuer entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with REP Energy, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (now known as Summer Energy Northeast, LLC) (“REP Energy”) and the members of REP Energy (the “Members” and the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction”) whereby the Issuer acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding units of membership interest (the “Interests”) of REP Energy from the Members.  As consideration for the purchased Interests, the Issuer issued shares of its Common Stock to the Members.  As a Member of REP Energy, Mr. Leibman was issued 920,727 of the Issuer’s Common Stock in exchange for his Interests in REP Energy.  The terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction were described in greater detail in the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 7, 2017.  

 

Leibman declares that neither the filing of this statement nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that Leibman is, for the purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the beneficial owner of any of the securities covered by this statement other than the shares held of record by Leibman.

 

Of the options to purchase Common Stock held by Leibman, 615,000 of such options were granted to Leibman as part of his compensation as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, and 151,115 of such options were issued to Leibman upon conversion of 413,000 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Preferred Stock previously held by Leibman.
