As of that date, 33,514,497 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding and eligible to be voted. Each proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation needs to be approved by a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Special Meeting.

Management of the Company has been informed by the executive officers and directors of the Company that such parties intend to vote all shares they beneficially hold with voting rights FOR each proposal. Together, such parties and proxies represent approximately 13% of the votes eligible to be cast at the Special Meeting.

Shareholders may vote in person or by proxy. Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a shareholder's right to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person. Any proxy may be revoked by a shareholder at any time before it is exercised by delivery of a written revocation or a later executed proxy to the Secretary of Enviro Voraxial Technology or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person.

The costs of preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy Statement and the other material enclosed and all clerical and other expenses of solicitation will be paid by Enviro Voraxial Technology.

Required Vote
Proposal 1: Change the name of our Company to Enviro Technologies, Inc.

The authorization of the amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the meeting. The proposed name change removing "Voraxial" is a condition of the Technology Agreement.

Proposal 2:  Approve the Amendment to Increase the Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock from 42,750,000 Shares to 250,000,000 Shares.

The authorization of the amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the meeting.

Proposal 3:  Approve the Technology Agreement.

Shareholder approval is not required under Idaho law for our board to approve the Technology Agreement.  The board, however, believes that shareholder approval of the Technology Agreement is important. Under Section 30-29-725 of the Idaho Business Corporation Act and Enviro Voraxial Technology's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Technology Purchase Agreement shall be approved if the votes cast at the Special Meeting approving the Technology Purchase Agreement exceed the votes cast in opposition of the action. If the Technology Agreement is approved by our shareholders, the board intends to close the transactions contemplated by the Technology Agreement as soon as practicable following the receipt of such approval. If the proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Technology Agreement will not be completed and the board will consider other alternatives to the Technology Agreement, although the board is not considering any other alternatives at this time.

Record Date
Holders of our Common Stock as of the close of business on April 20, 2017, the Record Date for the Special Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting and any postponements or adjournments of the Special Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 33,514,497 shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and any postponements or adjournments of the Special Meeting. No other shares of capital stock were outstanding on the Record Date.
 
Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers
As of the Record Date, our directors and executive officers beneficially held, in the aggregate, approximately 13% of the outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.  Management and our board of directors have elected not to exercise its stock options for the voting of this transaction.  In connection with the proposals, management of the Company has been informed by the executive officers and directors of the Company that they intend to vote all shares they beneficially hold with voting rights FOR the proposals, which represent approximately 13% of the votes eligible to be cast at the Special Meeting.
 
Quorum and Voting
The presence in person or representation by proxy of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, is necessary to constitute a quorum. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. If you do not vote by virtue of not being present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of determining quorum, but will have no effect on the vote on the proposals.
 
Proxies; Revocation of Proxies
If you are unable to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to submit your proxy by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card or submit your proxy via the Internet, facsimile or by telephone. If your shares of Common Stock are held in "street name" (i.e., through a bank, broker or other nominee), you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. If you elect
 
 
6

to vote in person at the Special Meeting and your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring to the Special Meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee authorizing you to vote your shares of Common Stock.
 
Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the proxy card, all shares of Common Stock represented by valid proxies will be voted "FOR" each of the proposals being voted upon at the Special Meeting.

Furthermore, all shares of Common Stock represented by valid proxies will be voted at the discretion of the persons named as proxies in respect of such other business as may properly be brought before the Special Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, our board of directors knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Special Meeting other than the proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement.
 
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Special Meeting by:
 
·
giving written, dated notice to the Corporate Secretary of Enviro Voraxial Technology stating that you would like to revoke your proxy;
 
·
signing and returning to us in a timely manner another proxy card with a later date; or
 
·
attending the Special Meeting in person and voting.
 
Simply attending the Special Meeting will not constitute a revocation of your proxy.
 
Adjournments
The Special Meeting may be adjourned by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Enviro Voraxial Technology's Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting for any purpose, including for the purpose of obtaining a quorum or soliciting additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to authorize the Technology Agreement, and adjourning the Special Meeting for the sole purpose of soliciting additional votes as to one proposal while closing the polls and registering the approval of the other proposal. Any adjournment may be made without notice (if the adjournment is not for more than 30 days and a new record date is not fixed for the adjourned meeting), other than by an announcement made at the Special Meeting of the time, date and place of the adjourned meeting. Any adjournment will allow our shareholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Special Meeting as adjourned.
 
Broker Non-Votes
Broker non-votes occur when a broker holding stock in "street name" does not vote the shares on some or all matters. Brokers are permitted to vote on routine, non-controversial proposals in instances where they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock but are not permitted to vote on non-routine matters. Uncast votes on non-routine matters are referred to as "broker non-votes." Because the proposals are non-routine matters, shares of our Common Stock as to which brokers have not received any voting instructions will not be deemed present for these proposals at the Special Meeting.
 
The inspector of elections will treat broker non-votes as shares that are not present and entitled to vote for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on the proposals.
 
Solicitation of Proxies
This proxy solicitation is being made and paid for by Enviro Voraxial Technology on behalf of its board of directors. In addition, we may engage an outside firm to assist in the solicitation. The cost is approximately $50,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for its assistance. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by personal interview, mail, e-mail, telephone, facsimile or other means of communication. These persons will not be paid any additional compensation for their efforts. We will also request brokers and other fiduciaries to forward
 
7

proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of our Common Stock that the brokers and fiduciaries hold of record. Upon request, we will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, we will indemnify any outside firm against any losses arising out of that firm's proxy soliciting services on our behalf.
 
Questions and Additional Information
If you have more questions about the matters to be voted upon at the Special Meeting or how to submit your proxy, or if you need additional copies of this Proxy Statement or the enclosed proxy card or voting instructions, please contact Investor Relations, Enviro Voraxial Technology, Inc., Attn: John Di Bella, Corporate Secretary, 821 NW 57th Place, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309, telephone number (954) 958-9968.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Proxy Statement contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including any statements regarding the proposals; the satisfaction of certain closing conditions specified in the Technology Agreement, our ability to successfully close the Technology Agreement and the timing of such closing, the diversion of management's focus and attention pending the completion of the Technology Agreement, and our ability to continue as a going concern. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "intends," "projects," "plans," "expects," "anticipates," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual events or results may differ materially from these projections. Please carefully consider these factors, as well as other information contained herein and in our periodic reports and documents filed with the SEC. The forward-looking statements included in this Proxy Statement are made only as of the date of this Proxy Statement. We do not undertake any obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law.

PROPOSAL 1:  THE NAME CHANGE
 
General
You are being asked to vote on an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change the Company's corporate name to Enviro Technologies, Inc. The name change to remove "Voraxial" from our corporate name is a condition to the Technology Agreement.

Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our voting securities that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting. By voting "FOR" this proposal, shareholders will be authorizing the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to change our company name to Enviro Technologies, Inc. The name change to remove "Voraxial" from our corporate name is a condition to the Technology Agreement, as the "Voraxial" is intellectual property included in the Company assets we propose to sell the Buyer.

To effect the name change, we will file Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, amended with the Secretary of State of Idaho, a copy of which is included as Annex A to this Proxy Statement

Because our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCPink Tier of the OTC Markets, the name change will also require processing by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, pursuant to Rule 10b-17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in order for this action to be recognized in the market for trading purposes.  We expect to receive FINRA's clearance within 30 days following the Special Meeting.  Our Common Stock will be quoted on the OTC Markets under our new name following FINRA processing.  We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing the effective date of the name change, as well as our new trading symbol and CUSIP number, prior to such effective date.

Following the name change, the share certificates in bearing the current name and CUSIP number will continue to be valid.  In the future, new share certificates will be issued reflecting the new name and new CUSIP number in due course as old certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer, but this in no way will effect the validity of your current share certificates.  We request that shareholders do not send in any of their stock certificates at this time.

Vote Required
Approval of this proposal requires that votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal.

Recommendation of Board of Directors
Our board of directors recommends that the holders of our shares vote " FOR " the amendment. On March 13, 2017, the board unanimously approved this proposal by consent and without a meeting.

PROPOSAL 2:  INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK

General
You are being asked to vote on an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 42,750,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares.

Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our voting securities that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting. By voting "FOR" this proposal, shareholders will be authorizing the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares. The reason for the proposal to increase the number of authorized shares is discussed below.

The increase in the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock contemplated in this Proposal 2 will both provide sufficient shares for the exercise of outstanding options and to provide shares which may be issued for future corporate purposes.  The Company does not have available additional shares that may be necessary for future corporate purposes such as raising capital through the issuance of equity, mergers, acquisitions, and similar transactions, or in order to engage the services of any personnel for future services. While the Company has no present plans to raise capital through the issuance of equity, enter into any mergers or acquisitions with third parties or seek to hire any personnel except as otherwise defined herein, we contemplate that in the future, we may enter into transactions to pursue business opportunities with unidentified third parties. The issuance of additional shares will result in the dilution of the percentage equity interest of our existing shareholders. In connection with any future issuance of Common Stock (up to 250,000,000 shares), there will not be any additional shareholder approval required with respect to the additional shares. Further, under Idaho law, the Company may only issue shares to the extent that such shares have been authorized for issuance under the Company's Articles of Incorporation. As of the Record Date, 33,514,497   of our presently authorized 42,750,000 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding. The Company currently has issued and outstanding options exercisable to purchase up to 13,465,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Options to purchase 7,700,000 shares of Common Stock are held by John Di Bella, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and director and options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock are held by Raynard Veldman, our Director. Management and our board of directors have elected not to exercise their stock options for the voting on this proposal, or any other proposal under this Proxy Statement.  However, we currently do not have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock in the event that all of the issued and outstanding options are exercised. The complete text of the amendment is reflected under Annex B to this Proxy Statement.

Effects of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
The board will not be required nor does it intend to solicit further shareholder approval prior to the issuance of any additional shares, if the shareholders approve the increase in the number of authorized shares at the meeting. Any additional shares may be issued in the future for services, including services as a director and officer, and may affect the voting control of the Company. The board may determine to issue and sell shares pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or seek to register shares for sale under the Securities Act. Shares may be issued in pursuing future business opportunities, for potential mergers, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, in compliance with applicable securities laws. The increase in authorized shares will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders. To the extent that additional authorized shares are issued in the future, including, but not limited to issuances in the event outstanding options are exercised, they will decrease the existing shareholders' percentage equity ownership and, depending on the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing shareholders. Historically, there has been a limited trading market in the Company's shares. The holders of our shares have no preemptive rights and the board has no plans to grant such preemptive rights with respect to any such shares.

The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock and the subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the shareholders. Shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock could, within the limits imposed by applicable law, be issued in one or more transactions which would make a change in control of the Company more difficult, and therefore less likely. Any such issuance of additional shares of Common Stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share, if any, and book value per share and such additional shares could be used to dilute the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company.

While the proposed amendment may have potential anti-takeover effects, this proposal is not prompted by any specific effort or takeover threat from any third parties currently perceived by the Company and the nominees for director. The additional common shares to be authorized will be non-assessable shares with the same rights as the existing common shares currently authorized and outstanding.

Following the effectiveness of the Articles of Amendment, our capitalization will change as follows as of April 20, 2017:

Capitalization Prior to the Articles of Amendment:
 
Common Stock:
 
Authorized for Issuance
42,750,000 
Outstanding:
33,514,497 
Reserved for Issuance:
13,465,000 
Available for Issuance(shortfall):
(4,229,497)

Capitalization Immediately Following the Articles of Amendment:
 
Common Stock:
 
Authorized for Issuance:
250,000,000 
Outstanding:
33,514,497 
Reserved for Issuance under Outstanding Stock Options:
13,465,000 
Available for Issuance:
203,020,503 

The board of directors believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Other than the potential exercise of outstanding options, the Company has no plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, at this time to issue any of the newly available authorized shares of Common  Stock.

Interest of Certain Persons in or Opposition to Matters to be Acted Upon
John Di Bella, the Company's sole officer and a member of the board of directors, owns options exercisable to purchase up to 7,700,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment. Raynard Veldman, a member of the board of directors, owns options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment. Such persons may be deemed to have an interest in the amendment to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock.

Vote Required
Approval of this proposal requires that votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal.

Recommendation of Board of Directors

PROPOSAL 3:  APPROVAL OF THE TECHNOLOGY PURCHASE AGREEMENT

General
You are being asked to vote on a proposal to approve the Technology Agreement. Shareholder approval is not required under Idaho law for our board to approve the Technology Agreement; however, the board believes that shareholder approval of the Technology Agreement is important. Under Section 30-29-725 of the Idaho Business Corporation Act ("IBCA") and Enviro Voraxial Technology's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Technology Purchase Agreement shall be approved if the votes cast at the Special Meeting approving the Technology Purchase Agreement exceed the votes cast in opposition of the action. If the Technology Agreement is approved by our shareholders, the board intends to close the Technology Agreement as soon as practicable following the receipt of such approval.  If the proposal is not approved, the Technology Agreement will not be completed and the board will consider other alternatives to the Technology Agreement, although the board is not considering any other alternatives at this time.

General Description of the Technology Agreement
On March 13, 2017, we entered into the Technology Agreement.  Under the Technology Agreement, subject to conditions to closing, we shall sell our intellectual property (the "Intellectual Property" or the "Assets"), substantially consisting of our Voraxial patents, marks, software and copyrights, to the Buyer in consideration of up to four million dollars ($4,000,000), of which three million dollars ($3,000,000) is payable at closing and one million dollars ($1,000,000) payable upon the completion of (1) the complete transfer of the Intellectually Property to the Buyer and (2) the provision by our company of transition information, assets and services to the Buyer, which is estimated to be approximately 12 months from the closing date. In addition, following the closing we shall receive a worldwide, royalty-free license from the Buyer, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, and import products and processes embodying the Intellectual Property outside the oil-and-gas market. Our company and the Buyer, upon the closing of the Technology Agreement, also intends to enter into a supply agreement for certain manufacturing rights which will provide our company the exclusive manufacturing rights to manufacture the Voraxial separator for the Buyer for a period of three years.

The Technology Agreement is subject to customary termination provisions and, in addition, may be terminated by our company or the Buyer if specified closing conditions have not been fulfilled by May 30, 2017, unless the terminating party has failed to comply with or perform its covenants and obligations in the Agreement at the time of such termination.

While we are seeking a vote of our shareholders to approve the Technology Agreement, consent of our shareholders is not required under Idaho law.  Under the IBCA Section 30-29-1202 shareholder approval is only required for a sale of assets in the event the disposition would leave the corporation without a significant continuing business activity. Under the IBCA "If a corporation retains (1) a business activity that represented at least twenty-five percent (25%) of total assets at the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, and (2) twenty-five percent (25%) of either income from continuing operations before taxes or revenues from continuing operations for that fiscal year, in each case of the corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, the corporation will conclusively be deemed to have retained a significant continuing business activity."  Our board of directors has determined that upon closing of the Technology Agreement we will retain significant continuing business activities.

Under the Technology Agreement, we are retaining all of our manufacturing assets, inventory and raw material.  Although we are selling the Intellectual Property, we are receiving a royalty-free license to the Intellectual Property in all industries outside of the oil and gas markets to manufacture and sell Voraxial products.  In addition, within the oil and gas markets, we shall be the exclusive supplier of certain Voraxial products for the Buyer for a period of three years from the closing of the Technology Agreement pursuant to a supply agreement discussed below.  The sale of the Intellectual Property has nominal effect on our total assets as of the end of our most recently completed fiscal year. Substantially all of our assets shall be used for our continuing business activities, including, but not limited to manufacturing products pursuant to the royalty-free licenses, the supply agreement and other machining projects.
 

12

Our board does not anticipate our revenues decreasing following the closing of the Technology Agreement.  Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 were approximately $1,100,000 and our revenues for year ended December 31, 2016 were approximately $562,000. Our company is retaining rights to manufacture the Voraxial within the oil and gas market for the Buyer for a period of three years. We are also obtaining royalty-free licenses to the Intellectual Property for all other industries outside of the oil and gas markets and we intend to pursue sales of the Voraxial products in other markets.  Additionally, as we are retaining our manufacturing equipment, we believe we will continue to increase our revenues from machining projects from customers outside of the Voraxial market.  Therefore, our board of directors believes revenues under the Technology Agreement, supply agreement and other manufacturing opportunities will significantly exceed the annual revenues from each of the past three years.
 
Reasons for the Technology Agreement
In addition to the proceeds from the sale of our Intellectual Property, it is our belief that the Technology Agreement will provide for the potential increase of revenues through the sale of Voraxial Separators to Buyer while enabling us the opportunity to possibly leverage future increased sales in the oil and gas market to penetrate the sale and use of licensed Voraxial products to other industries, including, but not limited to mining, sewage and wastewater.  We are also entering into the Technology Agreement because of the historical and current challenges we have experienced in introducing the Voraxial products to the oil and gas market.  We have limited life remaining on our patents to penetrate the market and believe this is the best option to maximize shareholder value.  Further, in our efforts to introduce this technology to the market, we have incurred net losses for the past five fiscal years, expect to continue to incur losses and have insufficient cash flow from operations to continue without raising additional capital from investors.  It is our board's belief that we would need at least $3.0 million in funds to continue operations through the next two years to support sales efforts and to withstand the continued uncertainty in the oil industry. Our inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms to continue to fund operations makes it difficult to enter the oil and gas market; and in the absence of the proposed Technology Agreement or a substantial and sustained improvement in an unfavorable oil industry economy, it was unlikely that we would have adequate liquidity to continue as a going concern which, taking into account all of the foregoing, would be reasonably likely to result in the insolvency, bankruptcy, or voluntary or involuntary liquidation of our company. We have been unable to find debt or equity financing on terms that our board believes were in the best interests of our shareholders, or a merger candidate or corporate transaction.  We believe that our efforts to successfully grow our business were severely constrained and hampered by depressed oil and gas prices, low price expectations for oil, and a reduction in capital expenditures by our prospective customers in the oil industry. After considering the available alternatives, our board of directors determined that the Technology Agreement provides the best opportunity for the Company to receive value for the Intellectual Property and potentially increase future revenues.
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Technology Agreement
The following discussion is a general summary of the anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Technology Agreement. The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), its legislative history, currently applicable and proposed Treasury regulations under the Code and published rulings and decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax considerations under state, local and non-U.S. laws, or federal laws other than those pertaining to income tax, are not addressed in this Proxy Statement. The following discussion has no binding effect on the United States Internal Revenue Service or the courts.
 
The proposed Technology Agreement will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a sale of corporate assets by Enviro Voraxial Technology in exchange for cash. The proposed Technology Agreement will be a taxable transaction to Enviro Voraxial Technology for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Enviro Voraxial Technology anticipates that it will recognize gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Technology Agreement. Enviro Voraxial Technology anticipates that its tax attributes will be available to offset at least a portion (or potentially all) of Enviro Voraxial Technology's U.S. federal income tax liability resulting from such gain. However, the determination of whether Enviro Voraxial Technology will recognize gain or loss on the proposed Technology Agreement and whether and to what extent Enviro Voraxial Technology's tax attributes will be available to offset U.S. federal income tax liability from gain on the proposed Technology Agreement is highly complex and is based in part upon facts that will not be known until the completion of the proposed Technology Agreement. Therefore, it is possible that the proposed
 
13

 
Technology Agreement will generate a U.S. federal income tax liability to Enviro Voraxial Technology and, in this case, any such tax liability could reduce the cash available for distribution to Enviro Voraxial Technology's shareholders. Our estimate of our remaining net proceeds after the Technology Agreement includes an estimated federal income tax liability of approximately $0 million.
 
There should be no U.S. federal income tax consequence to the shareholders of Enviro Voraxial Technology as a result of the proposed Technology Agreement, as the proposed Technology Agreement by Enviro Voraxial Technology is entirely a corporate action. As a result, our shareholders will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the proposed Technology Agreement.

Accounting Treatment of the Technology Agreement
The Technology Agreement will be accounted for as a "sale" by Enviro Voraxial Technology, as that term is used under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
 
Consequences of the Sale of Intellectual Property
Upon effective time of the sale of the Assets, the Company will dispose its intellectual property, specifically US Patent No. 5,904,840, No. 6,248,231, No. 7,727,386 and the Voraxial trademark, trademark No. 4036636 and US Trademark Serial No. 76704144, and continue to maintain and operate its manufacturing facility for the manufacturing, assembling and testing of the dispose intellectual property for the buyer in the oil and gas industry and for the Company in all other industries. The net proceeds of the Technology Agreement would be used to continue the operations of the Company, which may include working capital, capital investments, paying corporate debts and other liabilities, satisfying the costs of the Technology Agreement, accrued compensation to management (including our chief executive officer's accrued salary), lease payments, outstanding liabilities, vendor bills relating to costs of being a public company and ongoing operating costs.
 
Interests of Certain Persons in the Technology Agreement
As described below, members of our board of directors and our executive officer may have interests in the Technology Agreement that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of our shareholders generally. Our board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the Technology Agreement.
 
The Company incurred salary expenses from John Di Bella, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, of $305,000 per year. The unpaid balance has been accrued and as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016. The accrued salary is $1,173,270 and $1,464,761, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the Company owes the estate of its former chief executive officer $158,898. The Company has yet not determined when or how to repay the accrued salary.  The options available to the Company may include but not limited to the following: paying the debt, offering to convert some or all of the accrued salary to options or stock or continue to carry the debt on its books.

Supply Agreement

Pursuant to the Technology Agreement we intend to enter into a supply agreement effective upon closing of the Technology Agreement.  The supply agreement will provide our company the exclusive manufacturing rights to manufacture the Voraxial separator for Buyer for a period of 3 years.  There will be no minimum purchase requirements by Buyer under the proposed agreement.

Non Compete and Non Disclosure Agreement
 
For a period of three years following the closing of the Technology Agreement, the Company and Raynard Veldman and John Di Bella  shall not participate or cause participation in the oil-and-gas market in relation to phase or constituent sensing or separation which is defined as, liquid-liquid, liquid-solid or liquid-gas separation and gas or liquid sensing, including all product lines and services related thereto and including the Voraxial product line and services, except to the extent necessary to: (i) repair or service, but not remanufacture, any goods we sold to third persons prior to closing;
 
 
14

(ii) fulfill, on or after closing, any customer obligation; or (iii) continue an existing business.  In addition the Company shall take all reasonable measures to ensure the confidentiality and prevent the improper use of all trade secrets.

Consummation of the Technology Agreement
We expect to complete the Technology Agreement as promptly as practicable after our shareholders approve the proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors
The board recommends that shareholders vote " FOR " the approval of the Technology Agreement. On March 13, 2017, the board unanimously approved this proposal by consent and without a meeting.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
 
The following table sets forth certain information, as of April 20, 2017, with respect to beneficial ownership of our Common Stock by: (i) each person who, to our knowledge, beneficially owned more than 5% of the shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of such date; (ii) each of our directors; (iii) each of our executive officers; and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group.
 
For purposes of the following table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as otherwise noted in the footnotes below, we believe that each person or entity named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of its Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. The percentage of shares of Common Stock outstanding is based on 33,514,497 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 20, 2017. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person named in the following table and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Common Stock that are subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 20, 2017 are deemed outstanding. These shares are not, however, deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

13.2            Jurisdiction. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within Harris County, Texas over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and waive any claims a party may have regarding such court's lack of personal jurisdiction over that party.
13.3            Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; it supersedes any prior agreement—whether written or oral and including the "Term Sheet" entered into in November of 2016 between Cameron International Corporation, an Affiliate of Purchasers, and Enviro Voraxial Technologies Inc.—and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
