Director
|
Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr
. is
Quest’s President and Secretary and a director. Mr. Chiaramonte was
appointed as Secretary and Vice President in February, 2004 and President in
May, 2006. Mr. Chiaramonte also serves as the President and sole
director of our wholly owned subsidiary Gwenco, Inc. and serves as the President
and director of our subsidiary Quest Minerals and Mining Corp., a Nevada
corporation. From 1995 to 2003, Mr. Chiaramonte was a director and
was the president and chief executive officer of the Auxer Group. He
assumed the position of secretary and treasurer of the Auxer Group in
1998. Mr. Chiaramonte was a founder and served as director and
secretary of the Auxer Group’s subsidiary, CT Industries from June 1994 through
2003. Additionally, he has served as director and secretary of the
Harvey Westbury Corp. since October 1996 and a co-founder, director and
secretary of Hardyston Distributors since April 1999. Mr. Chiaramonte
has also been a director and secretary of Auxer Telecom Inc. since August
2000.
James Duncan
is one
of Quest’s directors. He was appointed as a director in September
2009. Since 2003, Mr. Duncan has been VAT Manager at Sempra Energy Europe,
a leading multi-commodity trading company in Europe that transacts extensively
in power (including emissions), gas, coal, and oil markets. He has also
been a VAT Manager at a number of energy firms, including Williams Energy
Marketing & Trading Europe Limited, Enron Europe, Ltd., and Louis Dreyfus
Energy, Ltd. From 2001 to 2004, Mr. Duncan worked with
PricewaterhouseCoopers in the United Kingdom to recover VAT credits from around
the European Union. Mr. Duncan has also previously worked at Ernst &
Young and Wagstaffs Chartered Accountants. Mr. Duncan received his
Bachelor of Arts in Accountancy from Stirling University in 1988.
Information
about our Board and its Committees.
Quest
does not have either an audit committee, compensation committee, or a nominating
committee. It is the view of the board of directors that it is
appropriate to not have any of these committees since they are not required to
maintain a listing on the Pink Sheets or OTC Bulletin Board, since it only
has two directors who would serve on any such committees in any
event, and due to the additional and unnecessary costs associated with
administering the committees.
We do not
have any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit
recommendations or nominations for directors. Our board of directors believes
that, given the early stages of our development, a specific nominating policy
would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations
develop to a more advanced level. We do not currently have any specific or
minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our board of directors and we
do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our
board of directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or
stockholders, and makes recommendations for election or
appointment.
A
stockholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by
directing a written request to our Company addressed to our Chief Executive
Officer. We intend to hold annual meetings of stockholders during the summer
season, at which meetings our directors will be up for re-election. We currently
do not have a policy regarding the attendance of board members at the annual
meeting of stockholders.
Family
Relationships
There are
no family relationships between or among any of the current directors, executive
officers, or persons nominated or charged by the Company to become directors or
executive officers.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
Except as
describe below, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past
five years:
|
·
|
been convicted in a criminal
proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations and other minor
offences);
|
|
·
|
had any bankruptcy petition filed
by or against any business of which he was a general partner or executive
officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to
that time; except for Eugene Chiaramonte, who was an officer and director
of our wholly owned subsidiary Gwenco, Inc., which filed for Chapter 11
reorganization in March
2007;
|
|
·
|
been subject to any order,
judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of
any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining,
barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of
business, securities, futures, commodities or banking activities;
or
|
|
·
|
been found by a court of
competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange
Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a
federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not
been reversed, suspended, or
vacated.
|
Director
Independence
Our board
of directors has determined that currently James Duncan qualifies as
"independent" as the term is used in Item 407 of Regulation S-B as promulgated
by the SEC and in the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. -
Marketplace Rule 4200.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors,
executive officers, and stockholders holding more than 10% of our outstanding
common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial
reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our
common stock. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-10%
stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all
Section 16(a) reports they file. To our knowledge, based solely
on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us for the period ended
December 31, 2009, none of the Section 16(a) reports
required to be filed by our executive officers, directors, and greater-than-10%
stockholders were filed on a timely basis.
Code
of Ethics
We have
adopted a code of ethics that applies to the principal executive officer and
principal financial and accounting officer. We will provide to any
person without charge, upon request, a copy of our code of
ethics. Requests may be directed to our principal executive offices
at 18B East 5
th
Street,
Paterson, New Jersey 07524.

In
connection with each reverse stock split, pursuant to each plan, the
Company’s board of directors determined that the number of shares subject
to previously outstanding stock awards should be adjusted in proportion to
the respective reverse split. As a result, after each reverse
split, the number of shares subject to stock awards was reduced in
proportion to the reverse split. However, in accordance with each
plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued and
sold under any awards granted under each plan was not reduced as a result
of the reverse split and, accordingly, the total number of shares
available under the plan after each reverse split remained the same as it
was before such reverse split. Pursuant the terms of each plan,
the board of directors has full authority to interpret the plans, and that
interpretation is binding upon all parties.
All references to available common
stock issued or reserved per plan have been retroactively adjusted to
account for the reverse stock splits effectuated in 2008 and
2009.

2004 Stock Option Plan.
The purpose of our 2004 Stock Option Plan is to advance the best
interests of the company by providing those persons who have a substantial
responsibility for our management and growth with additional incentive and
by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of the company,
thereby encouraging them to maintain their relationships with
us. Further, the availability and offering of stock options and
common stock under the plan supports and increases our ability to attract
and retain individuals of exceptional talent upon whom, in large measure,
the sustained progress, growth and profitability which we
depend. The total number of shares available for the grant of
either stock options or compensation stock under the plan is 17,500,000
shares, subject to adjustment, and as of December 31, 2009, we have issued
175,000 shares and have reserved no shares for option
grants.
|
Our compensation committee which is
appointed by our board of directors administers our plan and has full power to
grant stock options and common stock, construe and interpret the plan, establish
rules and regulations and perform all other acts, including the delegation of
administrative responsibilities, it believes reasonable an
proper. Any decision made, or action taken, by the compensation
committee or our board of directors arising out of or in connection with the
interpretation and administration of the plan is final and
conclusive.
The compensation committee or our board
of directors, in its absolute discretion, may award common stock to employees
of, consultants to, and directors of the company, and such other persons as the
board of directors or compensation committee may select, and permit holders of
common stock options to exercise such options prior to full vesting therein and
hold the common stock issued upon exercise of the option as common
stock. Stock options may also be granted by our board of directors or
compensation committee to non-employee directors of the company or other persons
who are performing or who have been engaged to perform services of special
importance to the management, operation, or development of the
company.
In the event that our outstanding common
stock is changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
other securities of the company by reason of merger, consolidation, other
reorganization, recapitalization, combination of shares, stock split-up or stock
dividend, prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate adjustment shall
be made of the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to stock options
which may be granted under the plan.
Our board of directors may at any time,
and from time to time, suspend or terminate the plan in whole or in part or
amend it from time to time in such respects as our board of directors may deem
appropriate and in our best interest.

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
On July
13, 2009, we issued a consulting bonus in the form of a convertible promissory
note in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000 to a third party consulting
company owned by Gene Chiaramonte III, the son of Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., our
President. The note is due July 13, 2011 and bears interest at an annual
interest rate of six percent (6%). The new note is convertible into
shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.001 per share, subject to
adjustment.
On
January 12, 2007, we entered into an indemnity agreement with Eugene
Chiaramonte, Jr., our President, Secretary, and sole director. Under
the indemnity agreement, we issued 260,000 shares of our Series C Preferred
Stock to Mr. Chiaramonte to indemnify him for a loss he incurred when he
delivered a personal guarantee in connection with a loan
agreement. Under the loan agreement, Mr. Chiaramonte personally
guaranteed repayment of the loan and pledged 2,000,000 shares of our common
stock held by him as collateral for the amounts loaned under the loan
agreement. We eventually defaulted under the loan agreement, and the
lender foreclosed on the shares which Mr. Chiaramonte had pledged. On
the date of foreclosure, Mr. Chiaramonte’s shares had a market value of
approximately $260,000. The board of directors has determined that
Mr. Chiaramonte delivered the guarantee and pledged the shares in the course and
scope of his employment with us, as our director, and for our
benefit. The board of directors has further determined that Mr.
Chiaramonte’s conduct was in good faith and that he reasonably believed that his
conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests.
Our board of directors authorized the
creation of a series of preferred stock of the company to be known as Series C
Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share.
The c
onversion price at which
shares of common stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of Series C
Preferred Stock without the payment of any additional consideration by the
holder thereof is the lesser of (i) $0.32 per share or (ii) 100% of the average
of the 5 closing bid prices of the common stock immediately preceding such
conversion date. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with the holders of our
common stock on an as converted basis when, as, and if declared by our board of
directors. The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall also be
entitled to receive, upon liquidation, an amount equal to $1.00 per share of the
Series C Preferred Stock plus all declared but unpaid dividends with respect to
such shares. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not
redeemable.
Pursuant
to the articles of amendment to articles of incorporation establishing the Class
C Preferred Stock, on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the
common stock, including, without limitation, the election of directors, a holder
of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of
votes on such matters equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of the
Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder, (b) the number of issued and
outstanding shares of our common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, as of the
record date for the vote, or, if no such record date is established, as of the
date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, and
(c) 0.000008.
The
issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock to Mr. Chiaramonte effectively
transferred control of the company to Mr. Chiaramonte.
On June
6, 2006, Quest entered into a two-year agreement to acquire administrative
services from a third party consulting company owned by Gene Chiaramonte III,
the son of Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., Quest’s President and
Secretary. The agreement consisted of an initial 1,000,000 shares
common stock issued under a Stock Incentive Plan, along with a monthly payment
of $6,500. On January 6, 2008, Quest amended this two-year agreement
acquiring administrative services from a third party consulting company owned by
the son of its acting president originally dated June 6, 2006. The
agreement consisted of an initial 1,000,000 shares common stock issued under a
Stock Incentive Plan, along with a monthly payment of $6,500. The
initial shares were valued at $35,000 and are being amortized over the term of
the agreement. The amendment consisted of an increase of the monthly
payment to $9,900 due to providing additional services with regards to the
reorganization of the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Gwenco, Inc., which is
currently under Chapter 11.
We
believe that the foregoing transactions were in our best
interests. Consistent with the Utah Business Corporation Act, it is
our current policy that all transactions between us and our officers, directors
and their affiliates will be entered into only if such transactions are approved
by a majority of the disinterested directors, are approved by vote of the
stockholders, or are fair to us as a corporation as of the time it is us at is
authorized, approved or ratified by the board. We will conduct an
appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis, and,
where appropriate, we will utilize our audit committee for the review of
potential conflicts of interest.

Pre-Approval
Policies and Procedures
We have
implemented pre-approval policies and procedures related to the provision of
audit and non-audit services. Under these procedures, our board of
directors pre-approves all services to be provided by RBSM LLP and the estimated
fees related to these services.
All
audit, audit related, and tax services were pre-approved by the audit committee,
which concluded that the provision of such services RBSM LLP was compatible with
the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing
functions. Our pre-approval policies and procedures provide for the
board of directors’ pre-approval of specifically described audit, audit-related,
and tax services on an annual basis, but individual engagements anticipated to
exceed pre-established thresholds must be separately approved. The
policies and procedures also require specific approval by the audit committee if
total fees for audit-related and tax services would exceed total fees for audit
services in any fiscal year. The policies and procedures authorize
the audit committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval
authority with respect to permitted services.
