Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 8, 2021, SusGlobal Energy Corp. (the "Company") entered into a settlement agreement (the "Minutes of Settlement") and mutual release with its former chief executive officer, Gerald Hamaliuk.

As previously disclosed in the Company's periodic reports, the Company has been involved in litigation with Mr. Hamaliuk since September 2020. As previously disclosed, included in accounts payable on the Company's interim condensed consolidated balance sheets for the period ended September 30, 2021, was an amount for unpaid fees to Mr. Hamaliuk in the amount of $310,428 (C$395,500), pending the results of the litigation.

Following the signings of the Minutes of Settlement, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed the action and counterclaim between the parties on December 9^th^.

Pursuant to the Minutes of Settlement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Hamaliuk approximately $275,000 (C$347,500). This payment was made on December 8^th^.

Pursuant to the Minutes of Settlement, Mr. Hamaliuk agreed to return 2,011,500 shares of the Company's common stock which the Company will cancel.

In addition, pursuant to the Minutes of Settlement, Mr. Hamaliuk released any claim to or interest in 3,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock which Mr. Hamaliuk had pledged as security to Pace Savings and Credit Union Limited ("PACE") in connection with PACE's loans to the Company.

These 3.3 million shares are now being held by the Company's current chief executive officer, Marc Hazout, as security for his personal guarantee of the Company's obligations to PACE and the charge against the Company's leased premises owned by Haute Inc., an Ontario company controlled by Mr. Hazout.

In addition, during the course of the litigation, Mr. Hamaliuk disclosed in August 2021 that he had made a whistleblower complaint to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in October 2020. This complaint to the SEC was made following the commencement of litigation in September 2020.

The Company has no further information regarding this complaint and has not been contacted by the SEC with regard to this complaint.

In May 2021, the Company received a request letter from the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") asking whether the Company's waste management practices were in non-compliance of Ontario environmental law. The Company submitted a written response to the OSC within two (2) calendar days of the request letter that the Company complies and meets all the specific conditions set out in all existing Environmental Compliance Approvals at its facility as issued and monitored by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.

The OSC has not requested any further information from the Company, nor has it taken any action against the Company.

The Company believes, although it cannot confirm, that, following Mr. Hamaliuk submitting a complaint to the SEC, the SEC then contacted the OSC.

Pursuant to the Minutes of Settlement, Mr. Hamaliuk agreed to send a letter to both the SEC and the OSC withdrawing his complaint.

The foregoing description of the Minutes of Settlement is a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Minutes of Settlement filed as Exhibits 10.1.
