On November 18, 2024, Quality Industrial Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Fusion Fuel Green PLC, an Irish public limited company (the “Fusion Fuel”), Ilustrato Pictures International Inc., a Nevada corporation , a stockholder of the Company (“Ilustrato”), and certain other stockholders of the Company (together with Ilustato, the “Sellers” and the Sellers together with the Company and Fusion Fuel, the “Parties”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers will transfer an aggregate of 78,312,334 shares of common stock and 20,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, constituting approximately 69.36% of the capital stock of the Company, to Fusion Fuel (the “Transferred Shares”). Fusion Fuel will issue 3,818,969 Class A ordinary shares and 4,171,327 preferred shares to the Sellers, subject to adjustment, with provisions for the preferred shares to convert into 41,713,270 ordinary shares subject to shareholder approval and Nasdaq listing clearance. The Purchase Agreement also provides for a post-closing merger of the Company into a newly formed subsidiary of Fusion Fuel, resulting in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fusion Fuel. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The Parties have also agreed to several post-closing covenants, including actions related to shareholder meetings and financing arrangements. The agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and indemnification provisions, and certain unwinding and termination rights.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”). The foregoing description has been included to provide investors and securityholders with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Fusion Fuel, the Sellers, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants by each of the Parties, which were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the Parties, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the Parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the Parties. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 19, 2024, the Company issued a press release to announce the Company’s entry into the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

The press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and this Current Report contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon management’s current expectations, beliefs and projections, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain. Such expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that, while considered reasonable are inherently uncertain. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. These and other important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this Current Report. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, various factors beyond management’s control including the Company’s ability to complete its acquisition by Fusion Fuel and integrate its business; the ability of the Company, the Sellers and Fusion Fuel to obtain all necessary consents and approvals in connection with the transaction; the ability of the Parties to obtain clearance from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of an initial listing application in connection with the transaction; the ability of Fusion Fuel to obtain required shareholder approval of the transaction; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted by or against any of the the Company, Fusion Fuel, or the Sellers resulting from the entry into or termination of the Purchase Agreement; our ability or inability to complete potential transactions and provide anticipated value and growth as a result thereof; the risk that any acquisition will disrupt current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of any such acquisition; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain key employees; costs related to the acquisition; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time; and general economic conditions. Any such forward-looking statements represent management’s estimates as of the date of this Current Report. While the Company may elect to update such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, unless required by law, it disclaims any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events cause its views to change. Thus, no one should assume that the Company’s silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. More detailed information about the Company and the risk factors that may affect the realization of forward-looking statements is set forth in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including, but not limited to, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Investors and security holders are urged to read these documents free of charge on the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.

From and after the date of this Agreement, none of the Parties shall, nor shall they permit any of their respective Affiliates to, knowingly take any action, cause any action to be taken or omit to take any action which could reasonably be expected to cause the Transactions to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment.

Article II. PURCHASE PRICE

Section 2.01 Purchase Price.

At the Closing, Purchaser shall issue to the Sellers, in accordance with the Seller Allocation Schedule included on Schedule 2.01 (the “Seller Allocation Schedule”), the following securities in full consideration for the Sellers’ Shares (the “Purchase Price”):

An aggregate of three million eight hundred eighteen thousand nine hundred sixty-nine (3,818,969) Purchaser Ordinary Shares, constituting 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Purchaser Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Shares Consideration”); and

An aggregate of four million one hundred seventy-one thousand three hundred twenty-seven (4,171,327) Purchaser Preferred Shares, which shall be convertible into forty-one million seven hundred thirteen thousand two hundred seventy (41,713,270) Purchaser Ordinary Shares (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Purchaser Preferred Shares Certificate of Designation (as defined below)), shall have no voting or dividend rights, and shall otherwise have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions as outlined in the Certificate of Designation for the Purchaser Preferred Shares in form and substance mutually agreeable to Purchaser, the Sellers and the Company (the “Purchaser Preferred Shares Certificate of Designation”), with such Purchaser Preferred Shares automatically converting into the underlying Purchaser Ordinary Shares upon the later of (i) approval of Purchaser’s issuance of such underlying Purchaser Ordinary Shares by Purchaser’s stockholders in accordance with applicable Irish Laws and (ii) the clearance of the initial listing application filed by Purchaser with Nasdaq pursuant to Section 6.09(b) with such conversion not occurring before the Stockholder Vote (the “Preferred Shares Consideration” and together with the Ordinary Shares Consideration, the “Purchaser Shares Consideration”),

provided always that the Purchaser Ordinary Shares and Purchaser Preferred Shares issued under this Section 2.01 must be issued for at least nominal consideration.

Section 2.02 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchase Price set forth in Section 2.01 have been agreed by the Parties based on the assumption that, as of the Closing Date, the aggregate indebtedness for borrowed money of the Purchaser is equal to or less than $1,350,000 (the “Purchaser Closing Debt Cap”).

(b) If, as of the Closing Date the amount of Purchaser’s indebtedness for borrowed money is in excess of the Purchaser Closing Debt Cap relating to the period prior to the Closing, then the Purchaser shall issue to the legacy stockholders of the Company, including the Sellers, as soon as practicable following the closing of the Merger, a number of additional Purchaser Ordinary Shares (the “Adjustment Shares”) that is determined by dividing the dollar amount by which the actual indebtedness for borrowed money of the Purchaser exceeds the Purchaser Closing Debt Cap by Applicable Price Per Share (as defined herein below) provided always that the Adjustment Shares issued under this Section 2.02(b) must be issued for at least nominal consideration. The Adjustment Shares will be issued to those stockholders of the Company who are holders of the Company’s equity securities immediately prior to the Closing (“Legacy Company Stockholders”), on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such Legacy Company Stockholders immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger; provided, however, that for this purpose, the Sellers shall be deemed to hold at the effective time of the Merger such number of shares of Company Common Stock (assuming the conversion of Company Preferred Stock held by the Sellers into shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with their terms) as they hold at the time that the Sellers entered into this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.02, the term “Applicable Price Per Share” means the quotient obtained by dividing $40,730,000 by the number of Purchaser Ordinary Shares outstanding at the effective time of the Merger on a fully-diluted basis (assuming the conversion, exercise or exchange of all Purchaser Convertible Securities outstanding immediately after the effective time of the Merger). Purchaser shall undertake to prepare and deliver to the Sellers as soon as practicable following the Closing, financial statements of Purchaser for the period ending on the Closing Date (“Closing Purchaser Financial Statements”), which shall have been reviewed by Purchaser’s auditor or such third party as Purchaser and the Sellers may mutually agree.

(c) If the Adjustment Shares issued pursuant to this Section 2.02 cannot be included in the Registration Statement, then Purchaser shall file a separate registration statement on Form F-3 (or, if Form F-3 is not then available to Purchaser, on Form F-1) that registers the issuance of the Adjustment Shares issuable to the Legacy Company Stockholders and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such other registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Damages suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties resulting from, arising out of or based upon (without duplication) (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the Company in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to which the Company is a party or (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenants, agreements or obligations of the Company set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement to which the Company is a party.

(b) None of the Seller Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to assert any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.03 after the dates provided in Section 9.01(a); provided, however, that if on or prior to such date a Notice of Claim shall have been given pursuant to Section 9.05 for such indemnification, such Indemnified Parties shall continue to have the right to be indemnified with respect to such indemnification claim until such claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in this Article IX.

Section 9.04 Indemnification by Purchaser

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, from and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Company Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Damages suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Company Indemnified Parties resulting from, arising out of or based upon (without duplication) (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to which Purchaser is a party or (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenants, agreements or obligations of Purchaser set forth herein or any or in any Ancillary Agreement to which Purchaser is a party.

(b) None of the Seller Indemnified Parties or the Company Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to assert any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.04 after the dates provided in Section 9.01(b); provided, however, that if on or prior to such date a Notice of Claim shall have been given pursuant to Section 9.05 for such indemnification, such Indemnified Parties shall continue to have the right to be indemnified with respect to such indemnification claim until such claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in this Article IX.

Section 9.05 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Upon obtaining knowledge of any claim or demand that has given rise to a Claim under Section 9.02, Section 9.03 or Section 9.04, the Indemnified Party or Parties shall give written notice (“Notice of Claim”) of such Claim to the applicable indemnifying party (each, an “Indemnifying Party”). In each case, such Notice of Claim shall specify in reasonable detail such information as the Indemnified Parties may have with respect to such Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same); provided, however, that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.01, Section 9.02, Section 9.03 and Section 9.04, no failure or delay by the party giving the Notice of Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is thereby prejudiced.

(b) Within 30 Business Days of receiving a Notice of Claim, the Indemnifying Party may object to such Claim, stating in reasonable detail the bases for such objection. Any objection to a Notice of Claim must be signed by one or more representatives of the Indemnifying Party or its counsel and shall set forth in reasonable detail the items as to which disagreement exists (the “Disputed Matters”). If an objection is delivered, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith to resolve in writing any Disputed Matters.

(c) If any lawsuit or other action is filed or instituted against any of the Indemnified Parties with respect to a matter subject to indemnity hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), notice thereof (a “Third Party Notice”) shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 15 calendar days after the service of the citation or summons). Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.01, Section 9.02, Section 9.03 and Section 9.04, the failure of the Indemnified Parties to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party has actually been prejudiced as a result. After receipt of a Third Party Notice, if the Indemnifying Party provides evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party that it has the ability to pay the amounts claimed in the Third Party Claim and that the Third Party Claim relates to a matter for which indemnification is proper under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the Third Party Claim (the selection of such attorneys to be subject to approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, and (iii) to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and such attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom for which the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense; and the Indemnified Party may, at the Indemnified Party’s own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The Parties shall also cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim within 30 calendar days after receipt of the Third Party Notice (or within such shorter period of time as may be necessary to prudently defend such claim), the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will (upon delivering notice to such effect to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate therein at the Indemnifying Party’s cost; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party informed (including, as necessary, updates from counsel) of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement, when and as reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party to the extent such underlying claim is indemnifiable under this Article IX if (A) the Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (B) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable or other non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party, (C) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that there exists or could arise a conflict of interest that, under applicable principles of legal ethics, could prohibit a single lawyer or law firm from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in such claim or action, and such conflict has not been timely waived upon petition by the Indemnified Party, (D) the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim, or (E) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the Damages relating to the claim would exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnified Party would then be entitled to recover under the applicable provisions of Article IX.

(d) All Claims by Indemnified Parties shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received as a result of the matter for which indemnification is claimed.

(e) Once Damages are agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such agreement or final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Indemnified Party.

Section 9.06 Limitation on Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of the Company, the Sellers and Purchaser to the Indemnified Parties with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.02(a)(i), 9.03(a)(i) and 9.04(a)(i) (but not with respect to the Fundamental Representations for which recovery shall not be so limited) is subject to the following limitations:

None of the Indemnifying Parties shall, in the aggregate, be liable to the Indemnified Parties for Damages arising under Sections 9.02(a)(i), 9.03(a)(i) and 9.04(a)(i) (other than with respect to acts of fraud or willful misconduct or the Fundamental Representations for which recovery shall not be so limited) to the extent that the amounts otherwise indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds $4,000,000.

The Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable to the Indemnified Parties for Damages arising under Sections 9.02(a)(i), 9.03(a)(i) and 9.04(a)(i) (other than with respect to acts of fraud, willful misconduct or the breach of Fundamental Representations for which recovery shall not be so limited) until and unless the aggregate amounts indemnifiable for such breaches exceeds $400,000. In the event the Indemnified Parties’ claim for Damages, in the aggregate, exceeds $400,000, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to those amounts in excess of $400,000, except for fraud, willful misconduct or the breach of Fundamental Representations, which shall be unlimited.

With respect to Sellers’ indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Parties under Section 9.02(a)(i), notwithstanding other limitations provided under this Section 9.06, shall be the shared obligations of the Sellers on a pro rata basis.

Section 9.07 Exclusive Remedy.

The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article IX shall be the exclusive remedy of such Indemnified Parties with respect to Claims resulting from any breach by the Indemnifying Parties of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 9.06 is not intended in any way to limit or restrict the right of any Party to separately seek equitable remedies, including injunctive relief or to pursue a claim for fraud or other non-waivable rights of action.

Section 9.08 Mitigation.

The Party seeking indemnification under this ‎Article IX shall (a) to the extent required by applicable Law, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages that form the basis of a Claim hereunder and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from available insurance policies in respect of the Damages which form the basis of a Claim hereunder; provided, that in no event shall the Indemnified Party be required to commence or threaten litigation against any third party in respect of such recovery or take any other action if it would reasonably be expected to be detrimental to such Party. In the event an Indemnified Party receives insurance proceeds after having received payment from (or on behalf of) an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this ‎Article IX, then to the extent such insurance proceeds were not taken into account in determining the amount of Damages required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall refund to the Agreement Party up to the lesser of (i) the amount of such insurance proceeds so received and (ii) the amount of the indemnification payment received by the Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto pursuant to this ‎Article IX, in each case after deducting therefrom the amount of any costs or expenses incurred in procuring such recovery (including any applicable premium adjustments), net of any Taxes imposed on the Indemnified Party that arise from having received amounts under the applicable insurance policies; provided that the amount the Indemnified Party is required to refund pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the amount by which the indemnification payment actually paid to the Indemnified Party in respect of such Damages pursuant to this ‎Article IX would have been reduced pursuant to this ‎Section 9.07 had such recovery been received prior to the date of such indemnification payment.

Section 9.09 Tax Treatment.

All amounts paid with respect to indemnity claims under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties hereto for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law.

Each Party agrees that it or he will not oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance on the basis that (i) the injured Party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The equitable remedies described in this ‎Section 10.16 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in equity that the Parties to this Agreement may elect to pursue.
