Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 22, 2015, Deer Valley entered into that certain Secured Convertible Note and Security Agreement with BLU Autoworks LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), pursuant to which Deer Valley loaned Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000) to Borrower (the “Initial Advance”). The Secured Convertible Note provides that Borrower may, as agreed to by Deer Valley, borrower up to an additional One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (collectively, with the Initial Advance, the “Loan’). The Loan bears interest at a rate of five percent (5.0%) per annum, matures on June 30, 2016, and is secured by the assets of the Borrower. Deer Valley may, at its option, convert the outstanding principal and interest of the Loan into membership interests in Borrower, which membership interests shall entitle Deer Valley to receive, upon liquidation of Borrower, shares of Tua Autoworks Holdings S.à.r.l. (“Tua Luxembourg”) equal to 5.74% of the outstanding capital shares of Tua Luxembourg, or, if Deer Valle elects to request an independent valuation analysis, such percentage of the shares of Tua Luxembourg as determined by an independent valuation analysis. Tua Luxembourg and Borrower are developing an automobile manufacturing business located in Italy.

Tony Bonidy and Lodovico de Visconti are members of the Board of Directors of Deer Valley, Lodovico de Visconti is the sole manager of the Borrower, and Tony Bonidy, Lodovico de Visconti and Christophe Fender (a resident of Luxembourg) are the sole members of the Board of Directors of Tua Luxembourg. Tony Bonidy and Lodovico de Visconti directly, or indirectly, control the voting capital stock of Deer Valley, Borrower, and Tua Luxembourg.

Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On December 22, 2015, Deer Valley sold, in a Bargain Sale Exchange, its idle manufacturing plant located in Sulligent, Alabama, and the surrounding thirteen (13) acres (the “Sulligent Property”). Deer Valley sold the Sulligent Property to The Industrial Development Board of the Town of Sulligent Inc., a political subdivision of the State of Alabama and an IRS 561 approved organization (the “Buyer”), for a combined purchase price of One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,150,000), comprised of (i) a cash payment by Buyer to Deer Valley of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($350,000), and (ii) a charitable contribution made by Deer Valley to Buyer of Eight Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($800,000). The charitable contribution equaled the difference between the appraised value of the Sulligent Property, as determined by an independent MAI appraiser, and the cash portion of the purchase price paid to Deer Valley by Buyer. The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 170 Exchange, also known as Bargain Sale, is a transaction which allows a property owner donate its property and receive a “charitable contribution” income tax deduction.
