Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Asset/Share Exchange Agreement
Hemp Technology, a Wyoming corporation (the "Registrant" or "the Company") and
its wholly owned subsidiary 4033002, a newly formed Wyoming Corporation entered
into a Asset/Share Exchange Agreement and corresponding Bulk Asset Sale
Agreement with Cannary Packaging, Inc., ("Cannary"), a private British Columbia
company (see Exhibit 10.7).
Under the terms of the Asset/Share Exchange Agreement, Cannary agreed to
exchange its assets to 4033002, the Registrant's subsidiary. The assets were
valued at approximately $2,200,000 and were exchanged for 4,856,202 of the
Registrant's unregistered restricted common shares (the "Issued Shares") of
newly-issued common stock to existing shareholders of Cannary based on the
pro-rata ownership in Cannary. Following the acquisition, the Company will have
9,784,274 common shares issued and outstanding. The Company has 50,000,000,000
authorized shares.
The purpose of acquiring these Assets is twofold: 1) 4033002 becomes the
operating asset acquisition subsidiary for the Registrant; and 2) the
acquisition of these assets helps qualify Registrant for a NASDAQ listing. A
NASDAQ listing requires shareholders equity of at least $2,000,000.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Issuance of 4,856,202 unregistered restricted shares
On July 8, 2020, the Effective Time of the Asset/Share Exchange Agreement, the
Registrant, on behalf of its subsidiary 4033002 issued 4,856,202 unregistered
restricted common shares, representing approximately 49% of the total issued and
outstanding common shares to the shareholders of Cannary in order to satisfy the
terms of an Asset/Share Exchange Agreement. The unregistered restricted shares
were issued to the former shareholders of Cannary.
The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We believed that Section 4(2) was available
because the offer and sale did not involve a public offering and there was no
general solicitation or general advertising involved in the offer or sale.
The shareholders of Cannary held a special shareholder meeting, where they were
given an opportunity to vote on the exchange of the assets of Cannary for
restricted shares in the Registrant. The management of the Registrant, who was
also management of the Company, was available to answer shareholder questions.
The Company did not engage in any form of general solicitation or general
advertising in connection with this transaction. The Cannary shareholders were
provided access to all material information and were afforded access to our
management in connection with this transaction. These shareholders acquired
these securities for investment purposes and not with a view toward
distribution, acknowledging such intent to us. They understood the ramifications
of their actions. The shares of common stock issued contained a legend
restricting transferability absent registration or applicable exemption.
The Cannary shareholders received their shares in the Registrant based on their
pro-rata ownership in Cannary.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers
On July 8, 2020, the Board of Directors, in accordance with the terms of the
Asset/Share Exchange Agreement, the Company appointed two new directors. Prior
to this appointment, the Board consisted of one member. The By-laws of the

The new Board Members were appointed to the Board based on the terms of the
Asset/Share Exchange Agreement and the By-laws that state a Director can be
added by a resolution adopted by its directors.

Item 8.01 - Other Events
Share corrections
In reviewing the number of shares issued to complete the Bulk Asset Sale
Agreement with Cannary Packaging, Inc., the Company recently recognized a
clerical error. Cannary Packaging at the time of transfer of the assets had both
Series A and Series B common shares. The Series A and Series B shares were
converted so that the Cannary shareholders would receive the pro-rata ownership
in the transaction. Upon conversion of the Series A shares, a clerical error was
made, whereby an additional 112,675 restricted common shares were issued.
Additionally, in the conversion calculations, Chad Costa, President was issued
355,557, restricted common shares, when his pro-rata ownership should have been
337,778 restricted common shares.
These clerical errors were disclosed in filing a Form 8-K on December 16, 2020
and an amended Form 8-K/A on February 4, 2021, whereby a total of 112,675
restricted common shares were issued to reflect these adjustments. This clerical
error resulted in another clerical error, whereby the 112,675 restricted common
shares resulted in exceeding the 49% threshold of shares issued for the purchase
of the Cannary assets. The Board of Directors only approved that purchase of
Cannary Packaging provided it did not exceed 49% in order to keep this
transaction a Bulk Asset Purchase rather than a change of control.
Certain Relationships and Related Transaction
The Registrant entered into an Asset/Share Exchange Agreement with Cannary
Packaging, Inc. a private British Columbia, Canadian company. Under the terms of
the Exchange Agreement, Cannary agreed to exchange bulk assets for 4,856,202
unregistered restricted common shares of the Registrant, which represented
approximately 49% ownership of the Registrant. The officers and largest
shareholder (NAM Holdings) of the Registrant Company, were the control people
and largest owners of Cannary Packaging. They received unregistered restricted
common shares of the Registrant based on the pro-rata ownership of Cannary
Packaging.
Cancellation of Shares
On October 29, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved the
cancellation of 112,673 common shares held by the officers and the 5%+
shareholder of the Company, to be returned to the corporate treasury. This
included: Michael Shenher, CEO to cancel 23,724 shares; Chad Costa, President to
cancel 41,501 shares (adjusted for the clerical error); Walter Schredl to cancel
23,724 shares; and NAM Holdings, Inc. to cancel 23,724 shares. The shares being
cancelled will correct the clerical error, noted above. These shares are being
returned to the Company's authorized transfer agent for cancellation.
