INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO
SECTION 14(f) OF THE SECURITIES
EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND RULE 14f-1 THEREUNDER
GENERAL
We are providing this Information Statement to holders of record of our Common Stock as of July 12, 2017, pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. You are receiving this information statement in connection with the expected resignation of our current Board of Directors and the appointment of three new directors to the Board, as more fully described below.
This Information Statement is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
) on July 17, 2017, and mailed to the stockholders on or about July 17, 2017.
CHANGE IN BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On or about March 16, 2017, we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the
Exchange Agreement
) with OXYS Corporation, a Nevada corporation (
OXYS
). We disclosed the execution of the agreement in our Preliminary 14C Information Statement, which we filed with the SEC on March 28, 2017.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we will complete a reverse exchange of shares in which we will acquire all of the outstanding stock of OXYS in exchange for shares of our common stock, by which OXYS will become a wholly owned subsidiary of our company. Upon completion of the exchange of shares, we will adopt and continue implementing OXYSs business plan. Further, upon completion of the exchange of shares, our current directors and officers will resign and persons designated by OXYS will be appointed officers and directors of our company. The exchange of shares is expected to take place on or about July 28, 2017. At that time, we will also acquire and cancel the 1,500,000 shares of our Common Stock owned by Carmine Catizone and Pasquale Catizone.
OXYS is a development-stage company
in the business of
providing a combination of hardware and software products combined with services at the Edge of the Industrial Internet of Things
.
NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT OR THE RESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT
OF ANY DIRECTOR. PROXIES ARE NOT BEING SOLICITED.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS
On July 12, we had 5,266,084 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. On October 8, 2016, the issued and outstanding OXYS shares were forward split 3,000- to-1.

We believe that the description of the experience of each of the above parties includes the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to our conclusion that the person should serve as a director following the closing of the Exchange Agreement.
There are no family relationships between any of our current officers and directors and the individuals who will become directors and executive officers of our company upon the effectiveness of the exchange of shares.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, no incoming officer, director or 5% or greater shareholder has, during the last five years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding; (ii) been a 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 any federal or state securities or banking laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) has any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy of for the two years prior thereto.
Term of Office
Our directors are elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until resignation, death, and a successor is elected. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until the officers term ends at the first meeting of directors held after each annual meeting of the shareholders.
5
Director Independence
We have not determined a standard for independence of our directors. We believe, however, that neither our current directors nor our incoming directors would be deemed independent
as such term is defined by a national securities exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not have a standing compensation committee, nominating committee or audit committee of the Board of Directors. Consequently, we do not have charters for any of those committees. We expect that the new Board of Directors will appoint committees after they take office.
Our Board of Directors performs the duties that would normally be performed by these committees. Given our lack of operations prior to the exchange of shares, our Board of Directors believes that its current member has sufficient knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill the duties and obligations of the committees. Neither of our directors is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC, and management has determined that such an expert is not necessary until it commences primary operations.
Director Nominations
The Board of Directors does not have a standing nominating committee or committee performing similar functions. The Board of Directors also does not currently have a policy for the qualification, identification, evaluation or consideration of director candidates. The Board of Directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the qualification, identification, evaluation or consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time due to the lack of operations and the fact that we have not received any stockholder recommendations in the past.
After the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we expect the new Board of Directors will review the director nomination process and implement policies for the qualification, identification, evaluation or consideration of director candidates.
Stockholder Communications with Directors
Stockholders who want to communicate with our board may send a letter to our President, c/o Gotham Capital Holdings, Inc., 266 Cedar Street, Cedar Grove, NJ 07009. The mailing envelope should contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a Board Communication. The President will circulate the communications (with the exception of commercial solicitations) to our sole director. Communications marked Confidential will be forwarded unopened. After the exchange of shares, we anticipate that the new Board of Directors will adopt a similar policy.
Meetings of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors held no formal meetings during the year ended December 31, 2016. All proceedings of the Board of Directors were conducted by written consent.
Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
As we increase the size of our Board of Directors and gain independent directors, we expect to prepare and adopt a written related-person transactions policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of related-persons transactions.
We anticipate that, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, the policy will require management to present information regarding the proposed related-person transaction to our audit committee (or, where approval by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our Board of Directors) for consideration and approval or ratification. Managements presentation will be expected to include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the direct and indirect interests of the related persons, the benefits of the transaction to us, and whether any alternative transactions are available.
6
To identify related-person transactions in advance, we are expected to rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant shareholders. We also expect that the policy will require any interested director to excuse himself or herself from deliberations and approval of the transaction in which the interested director is involved.
Leadership Structure
Since we are not engaged in any principal business operations, we the Board has determined to not to require the positions of chairman of the board and principal executive officer separate at this time
Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers
Executive Compensation
Neither Mr. Catizone nor Mr. Generelli, nor any other person, received compensation from us during the years ended December 31, 2015 or 2016. The Company has no written or unwritten employment or compensation agreement or arrangement with Messrs. Catizone or Generelli.
Equity Awards
As of December 31, 2016, there were no unexercised options, stock that had not vested, or equity incentive plan awards for our named executive officers.
Director Compensation
During the year ended December 31, 2016, there was no compensation paid to or earned by our directors.
Members of the board of directors may receive an amount yet to be determined annually for their participation and will be required to attend a minimum of four meetings per fiscal year. To date, the Company has not paid any directors' fees or expenses.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
To the best of our knowledge, except as set forth below, the incoming directors have not been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
In connection with the proposed reverse acquisition, OXYS entered into a consulting agreement with Pasquale Catizone, a director and principal executive officer of our company, to provide consulting services relating to compliance issues during the transition period before and after the change of control. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Catizone received $25,000 upon the signing of the agreement and will receive $50,000 at the closing of the Exchange Agreement. The agreement will expire 120 days following the closing.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to provide us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,
two directors did not file their reports on a timely basis.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not aware of any material proceedings to which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of our Common Stock, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate, or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us
