Item 5.02. Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 14, 2011, the board of directors of Black Sea Metals, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the Black Sea Metals, Inc. 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).

Pursuant to the Plan, options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company may be granted to any person who is performing or who has been engaged to perform services of special importance to management of the Company in the operation, development and growth of the Company. The maximum number of shares with respect to which stock options may be granted under the Plan may not exceed 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Plan is administered by the Company’s board of directors or its compensation committee, if any. The Plan expires upon the earlier of its termination by the board of directors of the Company or the date on which all of the shares of stock available for issuance under the Plan have been issued and all restrictions on such shares under the terms of the Plan and the agreements evidencing options granted under the Plan have lapsed and no option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant.

The Plan permits the Company to grant incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options”) and non-qualified incentive stock options (“Nonstatutory Stock Options”). Each stock option grant is required to be evidenced by a stock option agreement, which shall be subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan. With respect to the grant of any Incentive Stock Options, the Plan shall be approved by shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of the date of adoption of the Plan by the board of directors of the Company. Any Incentive Stock Options granted prior to shareholder ratification of the Plan shall be deemed Nonstatutory Stock Options; provided, however, that if the Plan is not ratified within twelve (12) months of adoption, no Incentive Stock Options shall be granted until ratified by the shareholders of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
