Item 1.01 Entry into
a Material Definitive Agreement.
Employment Agreement
Amendment
On
March 4, 2024, Global Hydrogen Energy LLC (“Global Hydrogen”), the wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Global Gas Corporation
(the “Company”), entered into an employment agreement amendment (the “Employment Agreement Amendment”) with William
Bennet Nance, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Global Hydrogen and a director of the Company. Pursuant to the Employment
Agreement Amendment, Mr. Nance’s compensation was restructured to entitle him to contingent payments (“Gross Profit Payments”)
equal to 15% of the Gross Profit (as defined in the Employment Agreement Amendment) of the Company, determined in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, up to a maximum amount of $250,000 on an annualized basis, less applicable taxes and withholdings,
in lieu of the base salary he had previously been entitled to. The Employment Agreement Amendment also made conforming changes to Mr.
Nance’s employment agreement, such that (i) the change in his compensation structure effected by the Employment Agreement Amendment
shall not constitute “good reason” for Mr. Nance to terminate his employment with Global Hydrogen, other subsidiaries of the
Company or the Company itself, and (ii) if Mr. Nance’s employment is terminated by him for good reason, or by the Company without
cause (and not due to death or disability), Mr. Nance shall be entitled to consideration updated to include any earned but unpaid Gross
Profit Payments through the date of termination. The Employment Agreement Amendment also shortened the restricted period during which
certain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of Mr. Nance’s original employment agreement shall remain in effect.
The
foregoing description of the Employment Agreement Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Employment Agreement
Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Forfeiture Agreements
On
March 4, 2024, the Company entered into forfeiture agreements (the “Forfeiture Agreements”) with certain holders of the Company’s
Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, including Mr. Nance, with each share of Class B common stock convertible into one share
of the Company’s Class A common stock at the option of the holder. Pursuant to the Forfeiture Agreements, such holders forfeited
an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares (the “Forfeited Shares”) in exchange for consideration previously received. After the forfeitures
of the Forfeited Shares pursuant to the Forfeiture Agreements, such holders continue to hold an aggregate of 2,700,000 shares of the Company’s
Class B common stock.
The
foregoing description of the Forfeiture Agreements is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Forfeiture Agreements, a copy
of the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this
“Amendment”), dated as of March 4, 2024 is between WILLIAM BENNETT NANCE, JR. (“Executive”), and GLOBAL HYDROGEN

WHEREAS, Executive is employed as Chief Executive

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain
provisions in the Employment Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
promises, terms, covenants and conditions set forth herein and the performance of each, the parties hereby agree as follows:
IT IS AGREED:
1. Amendments.
(a) Section
2(b)(i) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:
“(i) Base
Salary. During the Employment Period, Executive shall not receive any base salary (“Base Salary”).
(b) Section
2(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new clause (vii) as follows:
“(vii”) Gross Profit.
Executive shall be entitled to receive payments (“Gross Profit Payments”) equal to 15% of the Gross Profit (as defined below)
of the Company, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, up to a maximum amount of $250,000 on an
annualized basis, less applicable taxes and withholdings. “Gross Profit” shall be calculated by taking the total sales revenue
earned by the Company attributable to contracts sourced by the Executive during the applicable period less all sales costs incurred by
the Company in that same time period relating to such contracts.”
(c) Section
3(c)(ii) of the Employment Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
(d) Section
4(a)(i) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:
“(i) The following, to the extent
applicable: (A) Executive’s earned but unpaid Base Salary and any earned but unpaid Gross Profit Payments through the Date of Termination,
(B) payment for accrued but unused vacation time existing as of the Date of Termination, (C) any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus (if any)

extent not previously paid (if any) (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”), which shall be paid or provided, in each case,
in the time periods required by applicable law;”
(e) Section
8(g)(iv) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:
“(iv) “Prohibited Period”
shall mean the period during which Executive is employed by any member of the Company Group and continuing for a period of: (A) twelve
(12) months following the date that Executive is no longer employed by any member of the Company Group, with respect to the covenants
set forth in Sections 8(b)(i) and 8(b)(ii) above; and (B) twelve (12) months following the date that Executive is no longer employed by
any member of the Company Group with respect to the covenants set forth in Sections 8(b)(iii) and 8(b)(iv) above.”
(f) All
references to the Employment Agreement in the Employment Agreement or in any annex, exhibit or schedule thereto shall be deemed to be
references to the Employment Agreement as amended hereby.
2. Miscellaneous.
Except as expressly amended hereby, the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment and the Employment
Agreement, and any annexes, exhibits or schedules hereto or thereto, set forth the entire agreement of the parties relating to the employment
of Executive and are intended to supersede all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements between Executive and the Company or
any of its subsidiaries. This Amendment is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person. This Amendment may be executed
in any number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall collectively constitute
a single agreement, fully binding and enforceable against the parties hereto.
[Signature Page Follows]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties have executed this Amendment on the date first above written.
