Boca Raton, Florida, March 11, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Poly Shield Technologies Inc., (OTCQB: SHPR) announces that on March 10, 2014, Poly Shield entered into a Technology Transfer Agreement (the "Technology Transfer Agreement") and a Management Consulting Agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") with the Company's Chief Technical Officer, Rasmus Norling.
Concurrent with the execution of the Technology Transfer Agreement, the Company and Mr. Norling agreed to terminate the terms of the December 1, 2012 Employment Agreement as amended on December 30, 2013 and February 28, 2014 (the "Employment Agreement"), and instead entered into the Consulting Agreement with Mr. Norling. Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Norling will continue to act as the Company's Chief Technical Officer and will be entitled to a consulting fee of $22,500 per month. In addition, the Company issued to Mr. Norling warrants to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share expiring three years from the date of issuance (subject to earlier termination as set out in the terms of the warrants). In addition, Mr. Norling may exercise the warrants by way of cashless exercise for up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock.
Under the terms of the Technology Transfer Agreement, Mr. Norling agreed to sell to the Company all of his right, title and interest in and to all technologies and patent applications currently owned by him that relate to the reduction of emissions from internal combustion engines through the pre-treatment of input fuels, the treatment of exhaust gases produced by such engines, or any combination thereof (collectively, the "Technology"). In consideration for the Technology, the Company agreed to release 54,000,000 of the total 154,000,000 shares of common stock that were previously issued to Mr. Norling and held in escrow according to the terms of the Employment Agreement. The remaining 100,000,000 shares of Custodial Stock have been surrendered for cancellation.
Concurrent with the execution of the Technology Transfer Agreement and the Consulting Agreement with Mr. Norling, the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the "Amendment Agreement") with KF Business Ventures, LP (the "Lender") to amend the terms of the loan agreement dated as of January 15, 2014 (the "Loan Agreement"). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lender's obligation to provide subsequent advances totaling $1,500,000 was conditional upon restructuring certain terms of the release of escrowed shares issued to Mr. Norling under the Employment Agreement. As a result of entering into the Technology Transfer Agreement, the Consulting Agreement and the Amendment Agreement, the Company expects to receive subsequent advances under the Loan Agreement for a total of $1,500,000.
Under the terms of the Amendment Agreement, in addition to the warrants for a total of 6,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock issued under the original Loan Agreement (the "Original Warrants"), the Company agreed to issue to the Lender non-transferrable share purchase warrants for a total of 704,546 shares of the Company's common stock with an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share (collectively, the "Additional Warrants"). 250,000 of the Additional Warrants expire on January 15, 2015, with the remaining 454,546 Additional Warrants expiring on January 15, 2018. The Additional Warrants will have substantially same terms as the warrants issued to the Lender under the original Loan Agreement. As amended, the Lender may exercise the Original Warrants and the Additional Warrants by way of cashless exercise for up to a total of 3,452,273 shares of Common Stock.
