GOOD HEMP, INC. FILES (8-K) Disclosing Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets, Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities, Changes in Control or Registrant, Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements and Exhibits

Edgar Glimpses

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As disclosed in the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 11,
2022
(the "March 11 Current Report"), on March 8, 2022, the registrant, Good
Hemp, Inc.
(the "Company"), entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") with Petro X Solutions, Inc., a Wyoming corporation ("PXS"),
pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Merger Sub") of the Company
would merge (the "PXS Merger") with and into PXS, with PXS becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the Merger.

On May 11, 2022, the parties closed the Merger Agreement and (i) filed Articles
of Merger merging the Merger Sub with and into PXS; (ii) each share of PXS was
converted into the right to receive shares of Company common stock on a 10-for-1
basis, with PXS's outstanding 10,000,000 shares of common stock pre-merger
converted into the right to receive 100,000,000 shares of Company common stock
in the merger; (iii) the Company issued 20,000,000 shares of common stock to
PXS's pre-merger shareholders, with an additional 80,000,000 shares issuable to
the pre-merger shareholders of PXS in the future; and (iv) PXS became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Merger Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the March 11 Current Report, and
incorporated by reference in this Current Report.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The description of the common stock issuances to PXS's pre-merger shareholders
set forth in Item 2.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
The issuances of common stock were made in reliance on an exemption from
registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as there was no general
solicitation, the issuances did not involve a public offering, and there were
only fifteen PXS pre-merger shareholders, each of whom were accredited or
financially sophisticated.

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

The description of the common stock issuances to PXS's pre-merger shareholders
set forth in Item 2.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.
These issuances constituted a change of control as William Alessi, Chris Chumas,
and Spire Holdings, LLC, who owned over 50% of the Company's common stock prior
to the PXS Merger, no longer control the Company after effecting the issuances
described above. No person(s) control a majority of the Company's voting
securities after effecting those issuances.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.




In connection with the PXS Merger and as of May 11, 2022, William Alessi and
