Corporate Universe, Inc (“COUV” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 28, 1986 as Cross Atlantic Capital Inc. On January 5, 1998, the Company changed its name to Elgin e2, Inc. On June 16, 1999 the Company changed its name to Elgin Technologies Inc. On September 30, 2008, the Company changed its name to Inicia Incorporated (“Inicia”). On August 9, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The filing with the Secretary of State changed the name from Inicia to Corporate Universe, Inc.

On June 29, 2011, the Company changed its name to Carrier Alliance Group Inc. On July 17, 2020, the Company changed its name back to Corporate Universe, Inc.

On December 10, 2020, the Company signed a Letter of Intent (the “Binding Letter of Intent”), the purpose of which was to acquire 100% of the equity interest of Oxcion Limited, an entity incorporated and registered under the laws of England and Wales (Registration Number 06826090), which was formerly known as Solutions for Start Up Ventures Limited (“Solutions”), (the “Acquisition”) the owner of the ongoing business and assets of Zapgo Limited, including patents, patent applications, trademarks, and design rights in the areas of high temperature super capacitors, high voltage super capacitors and charging infrastructure (the “Zapgo Patents”).

The material terms of the Binding Letter of Intent included the acquisition by COUV of 100% of the common stock in the entity which owned the Zapgo Patents, in exchange for the issuance by COUV of 100,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock in the Company and a newly created series of preferred stock in the Company which shall be convertible into 60% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Upon signing the Binding Letter of Intent, the Company loaned $100,000 (See Note 7) to be forgiven at Closing.

Because Zapgo Limited had been placed in Administration, (which is essentially the United Kingdom’s equivalent of bankruptcy, with an Administrator serving in a role equivalent to a bankruptcy trustee in the United States), in order to acquire the ongoing business and assets of Zapgo, it was necessary to purchase those from the Joint Administrators, (Buchler Phillips Limited, 6 Grosvenor Street, Mayfair, London W1K 4PZ and Aspect Plus Limited, 40a Station Road, Upminister, Essex RM14 2TR). Under the terms of a Business Sale Agreement between Oxcion Limited and the Joint Administrators, Oxcion Limited paid a deposit of £110,000 to secure the Zapgo Assets and then was required to make five further installments of £70,000 each totaling £350,000, with the final balance due by February 28, 2021.

As required by the Binding Letter of Intent, in order to fund the purchase of the Zapgo Assets by Oxcion Limited, the Company loaned an additional $400,000, of which $270,000 was an immediate payment of the remainder of the purchase price (the equivalent of £210,000) owed to the Joint Administrators of Zapgo Limited (together, the “Administrator”), such that the Administrator was paid in full by February 28, 2021, and the Administrator’s lien on the Zapgo Assets was discharged on March 16, 2021.

Additionally, the Binding Letter of Intent required Oxcion Limited to enter into employment agreements with its key executives, and that the Company appoint Andrew Sispoidis to its Board of Directors and as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at Closing.

On March 16, 2021, as part of the reorganization of its business in preparation for the Acquisition, Oxcion Limited became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carbon-Ion Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Carbon-Ion”), which assumed the legal right to complete the Acquisition, as set forth in the Binding Letter of Intent. For clarity, on December 10, 2020, at the time of the execution of the Binding Letter of Intent, the proposed name of the entity which was to be created in order to be assigned the Zapgo Patents from Solutions, now known as Oxcion Limited, was “Carbon-Ion Energy Storage, Ltd.”, a Delaware corporation, which is the name reflected in Note 1 of the financial statements and notes contained herein for the period ending December 31, 2020. However, subsequent to the fiscal 2020 year-end, Carbon-Ion Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was the entity actually formed to take the place of “Carbon-Ion Energy Storage, Ltd.”, and Oxcion became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carbon-Ion Energy, Inc., such that Carbon-Ion Energy, Inc. was the entity which subsequently entered into the Share Exchange Agreement, Secured Promissory Note, and Security Agreement, all of which are attached hereto as Exhibits. Therefore, Carbon-Ion Energy, Inc. is the entity referred to herein as “Carbon-Ion.”

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement between the Company and Carbon-Ion, the Company anticipates a change in control upon the Closing of the Acquisition, which includes the appointment of Andrew Sispoidis to the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

On April 13, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Carbon-Ion in order to complete the Acquisition as set forth in the Binding Letter of Intent.

On April 13, 2021, in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company also entered into a Secured Promissory Note, and Security Agreement, under which the Company agreed to loan $1,000,000 to Carbon-Ion, to be secured by the assets of Carbon-Ion and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oxcion Limited. Both Carbon-Ion and Oxcion Limited are Grantors under the Security Agreement, such that the Company has a security interest in the assets of Oxcion Limited, the most important assets of which are the ongoing business and assets of Zapgo Limited (“Zapgo”), including Zapgo’s patents and other intellectual property, and contracts of employment (the “Zapgo Assets”), which Oxcion Limited acquired on September 11, 2020 from the Zapgo Administrators.

Also on April 13, 2021, in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, Carbon-Ion issued the Company a Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,500,000, which includes the loan of $1,000,000 on April 13, 2021, (and also replaces the previous $100,000 promissory note dated December 11, 2020 and the subsequent $400,000 promissory note dated January 25, 2021 issued to the Company by Solutions, and such replacement was formalized in a Termination Agreement, also signed on April 13, 2021.

As of the date of filing, the business activities of Carbon-Ion, and its subsidiary, Oxcion Limited, consist only of the ownership and maintenance of such ownership of the Zapgo Patents. The Company and Carbon-Ion are in the process of completing the steps necessary for the Closing of the Acquisition, the details of which shall be included in a subsequent Current Report to be filed on Form 8-K after the effectiveness of this Registration Statement on Form 10-12(g), and the Company intends to provide further detail as to the proposed change in control in a Schedule 14 to be filed with the SEC.

The Company has a focus on emerging business development to create value for our shareholders and provide the environment for business growth and stability. Consistent with this focus, the Company’s acquisition of Oxcion Limited, which owns the assets of Zapgo Limited, will allow the Company to explore various strategies to create revenue for the Company and its shareholders from the Zapgo Patents, which strategies can include the development of technology based on the Zapgo Patents into products which can be sold by the Company, entering into joint ventures with other companies that can manufacture or market the technology based on the Zapgo Patents, to seek the sale of certain Zapgo Patents and to pursue licensing agreements with other companies or institutions which may seek to develop and market the technology based on the Zapgo Patents.
