Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Statement relates to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of American International Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 205S Bailey Street, Electra, Texas 76360.
Item 2. Identity and Background
(a) This Statement is being filed by Michael McLaren and Marble Trital Inc. (“Marble Trital”), each a “Reporting Person” and collectively the “Reporting Persons”.
Michael McLaren (“Mr. McLaren”) owns 100% of Marble Trital and serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Marble Trital and as such, Mr. McLaren is deemed to beneficially own the securities held by Marble Trital.
(b) Mr. McLaren’s and Marble Trital’s business address is 205S Bailey Street, Electra, Texas 76360.
(c) Michael McLaren’s principal business occupation is the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer.
Marble Trital is a New York corporation which holds investments for Mr. McClaren.
(d) No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) No Reporting Person has, during the last five years, been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws, except as set forth below:
On February 22, 2023, Mr. McLaren and Xfuels, Inc. (OTC PINK: XFLS) (“Xfuels”) (which Mr. McLaren served as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Audit and Compensation Committee of from September 2015 to January 2018 and October 2018 to January 2023) agreed to the terms of a Settlement Agreement and Undertaking with the Alberta Securities Commission (“ASC” and the “Settlement”). The Settlement settled certain allegations made by the ASC that Xfuels and Mr. McLaren had breached Alberta securities laws for failure to comply with the terms of a Cease Trade Order (CTO), issued by the ASC against Xfuels, which Mr. McLaren then served as Chief Executive Officer and director of, as a result of Xfuels failing to make certain filings required by Alberta securities laws. Pursuant to the Settlement, Xfuels agreed to pay the ASC a monetary settlement of $20,000 Canadian; and cancel all shares issued by Xfuels to Mr. McLaren and his family members between April 2020 and March 2022, without paying any consideration, by no later than March 31, 2023, which shares have been cancelled to date. Also pursuant to the Settlement, Mr. McLaren agreed to resign all positions he had as a director or officer of any reporting issuer (which definition requires among other things, that such issuer be an OTC issuer whose business is directed or administered in or from Alberta, Canada, which carries out promotional activities in or from Alberta, Canada or who has distributed securities to a person or company resident in Alberta, Canada before the issuer was assigned a ticker symbol), including Xfuels; be prohibited from acting as a director or officer, or both, of any reporting issuer (discussed above) for a period of two years from the date of the Settlement, subject to certain other requirements; and that he pursue and complete training in best practices for public company governance and disclosure, as approved by the Executive Director of the ASC. The terms of the Settlement have been complied with to date, except for the training program requirement, which Mr. McLaren plans to begin in May 2023. The Settlement has no effect on Mr. McLaren’s ability to serve as an officer or director of the Company for so long as the Company is not directed or administered in or from Alberta, Canada, or unless the Company carries out promotional activities in or from Alberta, Canada, neither of which are contemplated.
(f) Mr. McLaren is a citizen of the United States. Marble Trital is a Texas corporation.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Share Exchange Agreement
On February 15, 2023, the Issuer entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Cycle Energy Corp., a Texas corporation (“Cycle Energy”), and Marble Trital (the “Shareholder”). The Shareholder is beneficially owned and controlled by Mr. Michael McLaren, the Company’s newly appointed Chief Executive Officer.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, which closed on February 15, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Shareholder exchanged (the “Exchange”) 100% of the ownership of Cycle Energy in consideration for 1,000,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (the “New Series A Shares”).
Management’s intent in entering into the Exchange Agreement was to develop a new business line while maintaining the Company’s existing operations. Management of the Company believes that by bringing Cycle Energy under the Company’s umbrella, the Company will be able to diversify its operations and build a portfolio of core assets that can be strategically leveraged in various ways to accelerate the Company’s overall growth. With the Exchange Agreement, there will come an expanded vision for the Company.
Cycle Energy is a diversified energy company based in the state of Texas. It operates three vertically integrated businesses.
Additionally, the Exchange Agreement required the Company to invite two persons to join its Board of Directors at the recommendation of the Shareholder following the Closing Date, to fill the vacancies created by the resignation of two of the current members of the Company’s Board of Directors, which change in directors occurred. In addition, the Exchange Agreement required the Company’s then current officers to resign and new officers of the Company to be appointed at the direction of the Shareholder. Each of which appointments and resignations were completed.
In connection therewith, effective on March 9, 2023, Mr. McLaren was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.
Series A Preferred Stock
The New Series A Shares have the following rights:
Dividend Rights. The New Series A Shares do not accrue dividends.
Liquidation Preference. The New Series A Shares have no liquidation preference.
Conversion Rights. Each holder of New Series A Shares may, at its option, convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock (each a “Series A Conversion”) into that number of shares of common stock equal to the holder’s pro rata share of all Series A Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding, multiplied by (i) 60%, minus the aggregate percentage of the Company’s outstanding common stock previously converted by holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, through such applicable date (for example, if prior to the applicable date of determination, shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been converted into 3% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of such date of determination, the Series A Preferred Stock would, in aggregate, be convertible into 57% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company), multiplied by (ii) the outstanding shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after such conversion, divided by (iii) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. No individual conversion by any individual holder shall be in an amount greater than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company on the date on which the holder delivers notice of such conversion to the Company (the “Individual Conversion Limitation”). The result of the above is that such Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 60% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (on a post-conversion basis, i.e., 150% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a pre-conversion basis) currently.
| CUSIP No. 02687R205 | Schedule 13D | Page 6 of 9 |
Voting Rights. Each holder of New Series A Shares is entitled to vote its shares of Series A Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis as to all shareholder matters, without regard to the Individual Conversion Limitation.
Additionally, so long as Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class (i) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company so as to adversely affect the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) effect any reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) designate any additional series of preferred stock, the designation of which adversely effects the rights, privileges, preferences or limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock; or (iv) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Series A Designation (except in connection with certain non-material technical amendments).
Redemption Rights. The New Series A Shares have no redemption rights.
Protective Provisions. Subject to the rights of series of preferred stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company cannot without first obtaining the approval (by written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a class:
(a) Issue any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the original issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock;
(b) Increase or decrease the total number of authorized or designated shares of Series A Preferred Stock;
(c) Effect an exchange, reclassification, or cancellation of all or a part of the Series A Preferred Stock;
(d) Effect an exchange, or create a right of exchange, of all or part of the shares of another class of shares into shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or
(e) Alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series, including the rights set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Designation.
Transfer Restrictions. Each holder of New Series A Shares is prohibited from Transferring any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. “Transfer” means directly or indirectly (a) offering for sale, selling, pledging, hypothecating, transferring, assigning or otherwise disposing of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the sale, pledge, hypothecation, transfer, assignment or other disposition at any time) (including, without limitation, by operation of law); or (b) entering into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the benefits or risks of ownership of the applicable securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
First Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement
On March 9, 2023, and effective on February 15, 2023, the date of the Exchange Agreement, the Company, Cycle Energy and the Shareholder, entered into a First Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the Exchange Agreement to be effective February 15, 2023, instead of December 31, 2022.
