Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 4, 2016, Keyuan Petrochemicals, Inc. (the “Company”) and Delight Reward Limited, a controlling shareholder of the Company (“Delight Reward”), entered into a side agreement (the “Side Agreement”) in connection with the execution of a settlement agreement and the payment subsequently made thereunder by the Company to Dragon State International Limited (“Dragon State”), a former shareholder of the Company.

Dragon State purchased from the Company in September 2010 for an aggregate price of $20 million, 5,333,334 shares of Series B preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Shares”), convertible to a certain number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the Common Stock that are convertible from the Series B Shares, the “Convertible Shares”), together with 800,001 series C warrants to purchase 800,001 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $4.50 per share (subject to adjustments) and 800,001 series D warrants to purchase 800,001 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $5.25 per share (subject to adjustments, together, the “Warrants”) in a private placement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Regulation S as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Pursuant to the settlement agreement referenced above, Dragon State agreed to transfer the securities of the Company it owned to Delight Reward and waive all claims and liabilities that Dragon State or its affiliated companies or individuals had brought or would bring against the Company, Delight Reward and certain affiliates of the Company, for an aggregate consideration of RMB 18 million or the equivalent in U.S. dollars.

Under the Side Agreement, Delight Reward agreed to pay to the Company for each Convertible Share the highest sale price of the Company’s Common Stock per share as reported on the OTC Pink Marketplace during a period commencing on the date of the Settlement Agreement, which was $0.005 per share of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $27,465.01. Delight Reward also agreed in the Side Agreement not to claim, or attempt to claim for any reason and in any circumstance, that the Warrants are exercisable.
