Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 1, 2026, Sky Quarry, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Settlement Agreement and Stipulation (the "Settlement Agreement") with LendSpark Corporation, an Indiana corporation ("LendSpark"). The Settlement Agreement replaces, in its entirety, a settlement agreement and stipulation that the Company and LendSpark entered into on September 25, 2026, which is of no further force or effect. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company and LendSpark agreed to settle bona fide outstanding liabilities of the Company owed to LendSpark in the aggregate principal amount of $638,998.00 (the "Claim Amount"). These liabilities are past due or in default. Under its terms, the Settlement Agreement became binding on the parties only upon entry of a court order approving it. On October 2, 2026, after a hearing on the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in and for DeSoto County, Florida (the "Court") entered an order in LendSpark Corporation v. Sky Quarry, Inc., Case No. 2026 CA 529 (the "Order"). The Order approved the Settlement Agreement as fair to LendSpark, the only party to whom shares will be issued, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
Under the Settlement Agreement and the Order, the Company will issue shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), to LendSpark in an amount sufficient to satisfy the Claim Amount (the "Settlement Shares"). The Settlement Shares will be issued in up to two tranches. The number of Settlement Shares will be determined based on the Claim Amount and a conversion price equal to the lower of: (a) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day before the initial conversion; or (b) the average closing price of the Common Stock for the five trading days before the initial conversion.
The Company will also issue LendSpark 6,000 shares of Common Stock as a settlement fee to offset attorneys' fees (the "Settlement Fee Shares"). The Settlement Shares and the Settlement Fee Shares will be adjusted proportionally if the Company effects a reverse stock split. The Settlement Shares and the Settlement Fee Shares will be issued as freely tradable shares without restrictive legends.
The Settlement Agreement limits the issuance and resale of the Settlement Shares and the Settlement Fee Shares as follows:
·The Company may not issue Settlement Shares or Settlement Fee Shares to the extent that LendSpark would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock at any time.
·LendSpark has agreed to limit its daily resales of the Settlement Shares and the Settlement Fee Shares on the Company's principal trading market to 20% of the daily trading volume of the Common Stock, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
The Company has agreed to reserve from its authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least two times the number of shares issuable under the Order, including an initial reserve of at least 500,000 shares with its transfer agent. The Company has also agreed to certain covenants, including restrictions on specified corporate actions while LendSpark holds shares of Common Stock. The Company has also agreed to indemnify LendSpark and its affiliates and representatives. If the Company fails to deliver the Settlement Shares or the Settlement Fee Shares as required, or if certain other events occur, LendSpark may declare a default. On a default, LendSpark may void its remaining obligations and seek repayment of the unpaid portion of the Claim Amount, less any amounts it has recovered from sales of Settlement Shares, in which case LendSpark would return any remaining Settlement Shares it then holds to the Company for cancellation.
Once all of the Settlement Shares and Settlement Fee Shares have been delivered, the parties will release each other from claims relating to the settled liabilities. The settlement will also fully satisfy a pending action based on the same claims in a California court. A stipulation of dismissal of the action before the Court will be held in escrow and filed after the Company delivers the Settlement Shares and the Settlement Fee Shares. The Court has retained jurisdiction to enforce the Settlement Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement and the Order does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement Agreement and the Order, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. The Settlement Shares and the Settlement Fee Shares will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. That exemption is based on the Court's approval, after a fairness hearing, of the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance. As of September 15, 2026, there were approximately 8,770,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

This Agreement shall become binding upon the Parties only upon entry of an order by the Court substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the "Order").
3.Settlement Shares. Following entry of an Order by the Court in accordance with Paragraph 2 herein and the execution by LS and Company of the Stipulation and Order of Dismissal (as defined below) subject to paragraph 9 herein, Company shall issue and deliver to LS shares of its Common Stock (the "Settlement Shares") as follows:
a.In settlement of the Claim, Company shall issue and deliver to LS, in up to two (2) tranches subject to paragraph 3 (c) herein, shares of Common Stock (the "Issuances"), subject to adjustment and ownership limitations as set forth below, sufficient to satisfy the Claim amount (at the Conversion Price) through the issuance of freely trading securities issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(l0) of the Securities Act (the "Settlement Shares").

2
c.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is the intention of the Parties that the Settlement Shares along with Settlement Fee Shares beneficially owned by LS at any given time shall not exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of Company then beneficially owned by LS, or deemed beneficially owned by LS, would result in LS owning more than 4.99% of all of such shares of Common Stock as would be outstanding on such date, as determined in accordance with Section 13(b) and/or 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In compliance therewith the Company agrees to deliver the Initial Issuance and any Additional Issuance in up to two tranches. Furthermore, Company shall not under any circumstances issue that portion of shares of Common Stock in settlement of the Claim which are in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Company on Settlement Date without Shareholder Approval not withstanding the agreement of the parties that Shareholder Approval will not be sought in settlement of this Claim.
d.For the avoidance of doubt, the price used to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to any Share Request shall be rounded up to the nearest decimal place of .00001.
4.Necessary Action. At all times after the execution of this Agreement and entry of the Order by the Court, each Party hereto agrees to take or cause to be taken all such necessary action including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents, as may be reasonably requested by any Party for such purposes or otherwise necessary to effect and complete the transactions contemplated hereby.
