On April 6, 2011, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Alleghany (the “Loan Agreement”) for $100,000 (the “Loan”). The note shall accrue on the outstanding principal sum at the rate of 6% per annum, the interest of which will be payable in either cash or in kind semi-annually with the first payment at May 22, 2011. If the Proposed Transaction (defined below) is not consummated prior to May 31, 2011, then principal and interest shall be due and payable on the earlier of either the date on which the Company raises capital of at least $500,000 or December 31, 2011. If the Proposed Transaction is consummated prior to May 31, 2011, then principal and interest shall be due on December 31, 2013. The notes and interest will accelerate in all cases should the Company default on the notes as defined in the Loan Agreement. The priority of the repayment of the Loan, and all interest thereon, shall be subject and subordinate only to the $250,000 loan made by Alleghany Capital Corporation to Laredo Oil, Inc. on November 22, 2010 and shall have priority over all other indebtedness of Laredo Oil, Inc.
Alleghany, Laredo and Mark See are in discussions and negotiations with respect to a possible transaction involving Alleghany, Laredo and Mark See (“Proposed Transaction”). The Proposed Transaction would involve the establishment of a contractual relationship pursuant to which Alleghany would seek to acquire and exploit opportunities to apply the UGD process. Alleghany would provide the capital required for such opportunities and receive a preferred return on such capital after which the Company would be entitled to receive a minority share of the net profits generated by the opportunities in exchange for providing know-how, expertise and other services. Other than customary matters relating to exclusivity of negotiations, confidentiality, and payment of certain expenses, there is no obligation on the part of Alleghany or the Company with respect to any aspect of any transaction and the Company cannot predict if a transaction will be finalized or if so, when that may occur. The Proposed Transaction would not involve any investment by Alleghany in Laredo.
The Company does not intend to provide any further update with regard to the discussions with Alleghany unless and until negotiations are terminated and the transaction abandoned, or definitive transaction agreements are executed by the parties.
