Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 19, 2026, Callan JMB Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), together with its wholly owned subsidiary Callan Power LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Buyer”), entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “APA”) with Reger Oil, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Seller”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to certain leases and other oil and gas assets in the Williston Basis (the “Assets”), including leasehold interests, mineral interests, contracts, permits, surface rights, equipment, and related records.
The aggregate purchase price for the Assets (the “Purchase Price”) consists of (a) 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), having an aggregate stated value of $10,000,000 (the “Preferred Stock Consideration”), to be issued in accordance with a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations (the “Certificate of Designation”) to be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, and (b) $2,000,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), payable on or before December 31, 2026.
The closing of the transactions contemplated by the APA (the “Closing”) is expected to occur on or before September 22, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties, (ii) the performance of the covenants and agreements of the parties, (iii) the absence of any litigation seeking to prevent the transactions, (iv) Buyer’s satisfactory completion of title and environmental diligence on the Assets, and (v) the Company’s receipt of stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and 5635(d) for the issuance of the Preferred Stock Consideration and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The APA may be terminated by either party if the Closing has not occurred on or before October 31, 2026.
In connection with the APA, the parties have agreed to certain governance arrangements. Within six months after the Closing, the Company will cause Buyer’s name to be changed to “Reger Energy, LLC” or such other name as the Company’s Board of Directors shall determine. Mr. Michael Reger, Seller’s principal, will be appointed President of Buyer and will be appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors to fill an existing vacancy. In addition, upon or promptly after the Closing, a current director of the Company will resign and the holders of a majority of the stated value of the Preferred Stock will nominate and elect a replacement to fill such vacancy.
The APA provides for mutual indemnification by the parties for, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties and covenants. Seller’s fundamental representations survive the Closing indefinitely, while other representations and warranties of each party survive for twelve months following the Closing. The APA also provides for customary limitations on indemnification, including a deductible amount and a de minimis threshold for individual claims.
Except as otherwise provided in the APA, Buyer will acquire the Assets on an “as is, where is” and “with all faults” basis, subject to the representations and warranties of Seller contained in the APA and a special warranty of defensible title. The parties intend that the transaction constitute an asset purchase pursuant to a definitive purchase and sale agreement and not a business acquisition for purposes of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The issuance of the Preferred Stock to Seller is being made pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The APA contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the APA were made only for purposes of the APA and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the APA, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The foregoing description of the APA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the APA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K will have the meanings assigned to them by the APA.
This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such shares contain a legend stating the same.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
In connection with the APA described in Item 1.01 above, the Company agreed, upon the Closing, to issue 1,000 shares of its Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock to Seller as partial consideration for the Assets. The issuance of such securities is exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The description of the Preferred Stock in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

15.3 Indemnification by Buyer and Callan. From and after the Closing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Buyer and Callan shall, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders and other representatives (the “Seller Group”) from and against the following:

After the aggregate qualifying Losses exceed the Deductible Amount, the Seller Group shall be entitled to recover only that portion of qualifying Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount, the Deductible Amount being a true deductible and not a tipping basket.
15.4 Insurance; Mitigation. The amount of Losses required to be paid by any Indemnifying Party to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent of any amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of any insurance policies covering such claim to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled, net of any costs of recovery and any increase in premiums resulting therefrom. Subject to the terms hereof, each Indemnified Party shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate or minimize all Liabilities upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Liabilities that are indemnifiable hereunder.
| 22 |
15.5 Notification. As soon as reasonably practicable after obtaining knowledge thereof, any Party seeking indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any Claim or Proceeding which the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE XV; provided, that no delay or failure to so notify shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall specify the agreement, representation or warranty with respect to which the claim is made, the facts giving rise to the claim and the amount (to the extent then determinable) of Liability for which indemnity is asserted. In the event any action, suit or proceeding is brought with respect to which a Party may be liable under this ARTICLE XV, the defense of the action, suit or proceeding (including all settlement negotiations and arbitration, trial, appeal or other proceeding) shall be at the discretion of and conducted by the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by its own counsel at its own expense in any such action, suit or proceeding. Neither Party shall, without the other Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise, confess judgment or permit judgment by default in any action, suit or proceeding if such action would create or attach any Liability or obligation to the other Party or would not include an unconditional release of the other Party. The Parties agree to make available to each other, and to their respective counsel and accountants, all information and documents reasonably available to them which relate to any such action, suit or proceeding, and to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof, including entering into a joint defense privilege agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock is 0%.
4. Voting/Board Representation
(a) The Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth in this Section 4 or as otherwise required by the NRS.
(b) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a single class:
(i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of Senior Stock or Parity Stock, or reclassify any of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation into shares of Senior Stock or Parity Stock;
(ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designation so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or power of the Series A Preferred Stock; or
(iii) issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, other than the shares issued to the initial Holders on the Initial Issue Date.
(c) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Holders of a majority of the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to appoint or nominate and elect two (2) members of the Board (the “Preferred Directors”). The Preferred Directors shall initially be designated by the Holders at or prior to the Initial Issue Date. Any vacancy in the position of a Preferred Director may be filled only by the vote of the Holders of a majority of the Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock.
5. Liquidation Preference.
(a) In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to the Corporation’s creditors and holders of shares of Senior Stock, but before any payment or distribution is made to holders of Junior Stock (including the Common Stock), an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Stated Value.
(b) Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Corporation (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation), nor the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other Person, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution for the purposes of this Section 5.
(c) After the payment to the Holders of the full preferential amounts provided for in this Section 5, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
| 4 |
(d) In the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders upon any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 5, the Holders and any holders of Parity Stock shall share ratably in proportion to the respective full amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled.
6. Conversion.
(a) Optional Conversion by Holder.
(i) Commencing on the date that is six (6) months after the Initial Issue Date (the “Initial Permitted Conversion Date”) each Holder shall have the right to convert each share of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock into t fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to, and in exchange for, on a cashless basis, a reduction in Stated Value equal to the Conversion Price then in effect (the “Conversion Rate”) times the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock is requested to be converted, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 9.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Holder shall not have the right to convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates and any other Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Ownership Limitation. For purposes of this Section 6(a)(ii), Beneficial Ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Corporation shall promptly confirm to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
(iii) In order to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, the Holder must deliver a written notice of conversion to the Corporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, specifying the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted. The date of receipt of such notice by the Corporation shall be the “Conversion Date”.
(iv) After any conversion, shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within two (2) Trading Days after the related Conversion Date. From and after the Conversion Date, the converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Holder with respect to such converted shares shall cease and terminate, except the right to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
7. Anti-Dilution Adjustments.
(a) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) If the Corporation effects a stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, reclassification or similar event with respect to the Common Stock, then the Conversion Price shall be proportionately adjusted such that the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the same number of shares of Common Stock (adjusted for such event) as the Holder would have been entitled to receive immediately prior to such event.
| 5 |
OS1 / OS0
where,
| OS0 | =the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share subdivision or share combination, as the case may be; and |
| OS1 | =the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, giving effect to such dividend or distribution, or such share subdivision or share combination, as the case may be. |
Any adjustment made under this Section 7(a)(i) shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such share subdivision or share combination, as the case may be. If any dividend, distribution, share subdivision or share combination of the type described in this Section 7(a)(i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the earlier of (A) the date the Board determines not to pay or make such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination and (B) the date the dividend or distribution was to be paid or the date the subdivision or combination was to have been effective, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination had not been declared.
The Corporation shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in treasury.
(ii)If the Corporation distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them to purchase or subscribe for shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date of such distribution, the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution shall be divided by the following fraction:
OS0 + X
OS0 + Y
where,
| OS0 | =the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution; |
| X | =the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and |
| 6 |
| Y | =the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants and (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date of such distribution. |
Any decrease to the Conversion Rate made under this Section 7(a)(ii) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not issued prior to the expiration or termination of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be increased, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Price shall be increased, effective as of the earlier of (A) the date the Board determines not to make such distribution and (B) the date such rights, options or warrants were to have been issued, to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such distribution had not occurred. If such rights, options or warrants are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted until the triggering events occur.
For purposes of this Section 7(a)(ii), in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise any such rights, options or warrants there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board.
(iii)If the Corporation distributes shares of its capital stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets, securities or property of the Corporation or rights, options or warrants to acquire its capital stock or other securities, to all holders of Common Stock, excluding (A) dividends, distributions, rights, options, warrants or other issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 7a)(i) or Section 7(a)(ii), (B) rights issued to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to a rights plan, where such rights are not presently exercisable, trade with Common Stock and the plan provides that Holders will receive such rights along with any Common Stock received upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, (C) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, (D) any dividends and distributions in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or other combination, share exchange, or sale, lease or other transfer or disposition resulting in the change in the conversion consideration as described in Section 7(b) and (E) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in the last two paragraphs of this Section 7(a)(iii) shall apply, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution shall be divided by the following fraction:
SP0
SP0 - FMV
where,
| SP0 | =Closing Sale Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution; and |
| FMV | =the fair market value as of the Record Date for such distribution (as determined in good faith by the Board) of the shares of the Corporation’s capital stock (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness, assets, securities, property, rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock. |
| 7 |
Any decrease to the Conversion Price made under the portion of this Section 7(a)(iii) above shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be increased, effective as of the earlier of (A) the date the Board determines not to pay the distribution and (B) the date such dividend or distribution was to have been paid, to be the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), or if the difference is less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by it, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of the Corporation’s capital stock (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness, or other assets, securities or property of the Corporation, or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Corporation’s capital stock or other securities that such Holder would have received if such Holder converted all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Record Date for the distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(a)(iii) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consisting solely of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Corporation where such capital stock or similar equity interest is, or will be when issued, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-off by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on such 10th Trading Day by the following fraction:
FMV + MP0
MP0
where,
| FMV | =the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off; and |
| MP0 | =the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off. |
| 8 |
The adjustment to the Conversion Price under the preceding paragraph shall become effective at the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Price in respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days following, and including, the Ex-Date of any Spin-Off, references to “10 consecutive Trading Days” within the portion of this Section 7(a)(iii) related to Spin-Offs shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Date of such Spin-Off and the relevant Conversion Date.
(iv )If the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for Common Stock to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on such last Trading Day of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period by the following fraction:
AC + (SP1 x OS1)
SP1 x OS0
where,
| AC | =the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer; |
| OS0 | =the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); |
| OS1 | =the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and |
| SP1 | = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. |
(b) In the case of any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock, any consolidation, merger or statutory share exchange involving the Corporation, or any sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, in each case as a result of which the Common Stock is converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, cash or other property, then each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash or other property that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such transaction, and the Corporation shall not effect any such transaction unless the resulting, surviving or acquiring Person expressly assumes in writing the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation.
| 9 |
(c)Upon any decrease in the Conversion Price, the Corporation promptly shall deliver to each Holder a certificate signed by an Officer of the Corporation, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and specifying the increased Conversion Price then in effect following such adjustment.
(d) No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made if it results in a Conversion Price that is less than the par value (if any) of the Common Stock.
8. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be delivered to the Holders upon conversion. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable, the Holders will be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date.
9. Transfer Restriction.
Each Holder agrees that, after conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock following the Initial Permitted Conversion Date the shares of Common Stock received upon conversion may be transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of by such Holder subject only to compliance with applicable securities laws (including Rule 144 under the Securities Act).
10. General Provisions.
(a) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall deliver irrevocable written instructions to its transfer agent to effect such reservation.
(b) Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or one (1) Business Day after being sent by nationally recognized overnight courier, to the Corporation at its principal executive offices or to the Holder at the address set forth in the Corporation’s stock register.
(c) No Preemptive Rights. The Holders shall not be entitled to any preemptive rights to acquire additional capital stock of the Corporation.
(d) Reporting Company. The Corporation shall use its commercial best efforts to timely file all required reports under the Exchange Act and to maintain the eligibility of the disposition of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(d) Governing Law. This Certificate of Designation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.
