Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement the Company acquires seventy-seven and one-half percent (77.5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Agra to be transferred to it from the majority shareholder of Agra, SBS Eco Trust. In consideration of the acquisition of the Agra shares, Dror Svorai, the Registrant’s majority shareholder, President, CEO and sole officer and director will transfer his 803,000 shares of the Registrant’s Series A Preferred Stock and 197,000,000 shares of its common stock to SBS Eco Trust (“the Acquisition”.

 

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, the Company underwent a change of control. As a result of the Acquisition, the SBS Eco Trust, whose trustee is Esther Bittelman, an individual, and Secretary of Agra, became controlling and majority shareholder of the Registrant (the “Change of Control”).

 

As a result of entry into the Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Svorai resigned at the end of the business day on January 17, 2020, following the appointments and acceptances by the new officers and directors of the Registrant as set forth in Item 5.025, below.

At the time of this filing, the record date of the Acquisition has not been established.

 

There are a total of 1,000,000 shares designated as Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred converts to 1,000 shares of common. Each share of the Series A Series A Preferred Stock has the voting rights equivalent of 20,000 shares of common stock (identical in every other respect to the voting rights of the holders of common stock entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of the shareholders).

 

Agra Nutraceuticals Corporation

 

Agra Nutraceuticals Corporation, a Colorado corporation, historically has operated hardwood timber plantations (SIC Code 0851 – Forestry Services), in Brazil which require a growth period of approximately 20 years prior to harvesting. Therefore, from 2008 to 2019, it had minimal financial activity other than payment of local property taxes and miscellaneous costs.

 

In 2012, Agra’s board of directors elected to implement a new “Carbon Credit” business model utilizing a certification process for the aggregation and sale of carbon credits via a methodology known as the “VCS”, or “Verified Carbon Standard.” As part of the requirement of qualifying for VCS, Agra engaged Apply auditors to verify that its Brazilian timberland assets to be used under its VCS project. Agra also hired an expert in timber valuation to perform a new inspection of the Brazil property, an assessment of its inventory of timber species and state of growth, utilizing a satellite topography survey to help with the calculation of the value of the timberland in terms of carbon credits. Agra’s strategic intent was to sell the carbon credits at an auction held by the State of California in accordance with the passage of a California law requiring companies to offset their individual carbon pollution with “Carbon Credits,” as established by a memorandum of understanding by and between the State of California and Acre, Brazil, and in connection with the State of California’s passage of mandatory carbon tax laws to take effect in 2015.

 

As a result of the California Carbon Credit Program and with the intent to use it to monetarize the Brazilian timberland, Agra hired Yaacov Vaknin, Esq., a Florida attorney (“Vaknin’) and expert on Forestry Project in Brazil and Carbon Credits. Vaknin ordered a new satellite topography appraisal of the Norwest timberland and assessment of the timber species present, On behalf of Agra, Vaknin submitted all the required documents and verification to the VCS project and, after another year of VCS project verification, Agra’s VCS project was granted a listing in 2014 under a “Group Status,” one of the highest standards granted companies by the VCS. To view a copy of Agra’s database filing, as updated and in effect as of January 2020, under the heading the “IWC Projects”, go to:

In late 2019, Agra determined that hemp as a commercial crop sequesters an estimated 10 times more carbon than the traditional plantings with which the Company planned to re-forest harvested property in Brazil. As a result, the Registrant is updating its filed VCS plan to show a significant incremental Carbon Credit certification opportunity via the replanting of harvested timberland with hemp in its properties in Brazil.

As of the date of this report filed on Form 8-K, Agra Nutraceuticals Corporation continues in the forestry services business while it develops its VCS project and works on a further expansion of its business models into the hemp and cannabis sectors on an international basis.

CNCC and AGRA agree that following Closing, CNCC and AGRA shall each remain a fully reporting SEC company, each filing financial and disclosure reports with the SEC and other regulatory entities in accordance with all federal, state and municipal law and regulation. CNCC’s and AGRA’s Boards of Directors shall remain committed to the on-time filing of such reports for each Corporation as

14 
 

 

required by the SEC in order to maintain a contiguous, current filing status with the SEC for both.
