Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Verde Resources, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Verde Renewables Inc., entered into a material supply agreement with Biochar Solutions LLC to secure engineered biochar for asphalt and road construction products in the United States.

BSL will initially supply up to 38,500 U.S. tons of biochar annually, with at least 50% of this initial volume warranted to qualify for carbon removal credit generation. Verde will pay per ton, with pricing set by mutual agreement and reviewed each year. The parties will also share carbon removal credits and any revenues from selling or monetizing those credits.

Verde and BSL plan to file a joint U.S. patent on the engineered biochar blend, owned jointly and available for each party’s own operations, while third-party licenses will require mutual consent and revenue sharing. The agreement runs for an initial 18-month period, then continues month-to-month if no follow-on contract is signed, and may be terminated on 60 days’ notice or for material breach after a 15-day cure period. If executed, a subsequent agreement would have a 5-year term with an option to renew for another five years.

Insights

Verde locks in biochar supply and shared carbon credit upside with BSL.

The agreement gives Verde Resources access to up to 38,500 U.S. tons of engineered biochar annually, with at least 50% qualifying for carbon removal credits. This anchors its asphalt and road-construction product strategy to a single exclusive U.S. supplier in this niche.

Shared revenues from carbon removal credits and a planned joint patent on the biochar blend create long-term alignment but also interdependence. Termination rights, the 18‑month initial period, and potential 5‑year follow-on agreement mean future economics will depend on how commercialization and carbon credit monetization actually develop.

Subsequent disclosures about realized biochar volumes, carbon credit revenues, and whether a longer-term subsequent agreement is executed will shape how important this partnership becomes to Verde’s overall business profile.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Biochar Solutions Supply Agreement

 

On March 14, 2026, Verde Renewables Inc. (“Verde”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Verde Resources, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Biochar Solutions LLC (“BSL”), pursuant to which BSL will manufacture, supply, distribute, and white label engineered biochar for incorporation into Verde’s and its customers’ products, with both parties intending for this Supply Agreement to serve as the foundation of a binding commercial agreement governing long term biochar supply, carbon credit revenue sharing, joint technology development, and related commercialization activities. For the term of the Agreement, BSL shall serve as Verde’s exclusive supplier of engineered biochar for asphalt and road construction applications in the United States unless otherwise released in a mutual writing by BLS and Verde, and BSL will forward leads for companies seeking biochar-based asphalt, or low emissions asphalt, to Verde exclusively.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, BSL will initially supply up to 38,500 U.S. tons of biochar annually (the “Initial Supply”) to support Verde’s engineered product portfolio and carbon credit strategy, for which BSL warrants and will ensure that at least 50% of such Initial Supply will qualify for carbon removal credit generation. In compensation for the provision of the Initial Supply, Verde will pay BSL on a per-ton basis based upon the type of biochar that is supplied, with per-ton pricing to be mutually established and reviewed annually. Additionally, Verde and BSL agree to share the carbon removal credits generated from the incorporation of BSL Biochar into Verde’s asphalt and other products, and any revenues derived from the sale, transfer, or monetization of such carbon removal credits to third parties shall likewise be shared.

 

Separately, Verde and BSL intend to file a joint patent in the United States for the engineered biochar blend formulation developed by both parties under the Agreement, with such patent to be owned on a joint basis and each party free to use the intellectual property in its respective operations. Commercial licensing to third parties shall require the prior written consent of each of Verde and BSL and equitable revenue sharing, with specific terms to be set forth in the Subsequent Agreement (as defined below).

 

The Agreement shall be in effect for eighteen months from the date of the agreement (the “Initial Period”) and, if no Subsequent Agreement is reached during the Initial period, shall continue on a month-to-month basis. Either party may terminate the Agreement for any reason on 60 days prior written notice, during which time the parties shall collaborate in good faith in winding down their business relationship, including BSL’s good-faith continued fulfillment of biochar shipments to Verde during such period. Either party may also terminate this Agreement with written notice upon material breach of the terms hereof by the other party, provided that the breaching party shall be provided a 15 day period to cure such breach. After the Initial Period, Verde and BSL will evaluate their commercial arrangement and make updates or modifications to this Agreement based on their collective experience under this Agreement (the “Subsequent Agreement”). If entered into, the Subsequent Agreement shall have a 5-year term commencing on the date of execution thereof, renewable for an additional 5 years upon mutual written consent no later than 120 days before expiry. The Subsequent Agreement shall also contain customary additional terms for the abilities of the parties to terminate the Subsequent Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of each of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.
