On
April 18, 2019 we increased the size of our Board of Directors to seven persons and appointed LZ Granderson and Robert Tull
to the vacant director positions created thereby. In connection with such appointments, we agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares
of our restricted common stock to each of LZ Granderson and Robert Tull. We also agreed to pay each of them an annual fee of
$25,000, payable in stock, for serving as a director (the “Annual Fee”). We also granted each of
Mr. Granderson and Mr. Tull the right to participate in the commission program we intend to establish with respect
to direct (20% commissions) and indirect (10% commissions) sales related to our LGBT Loyalty Sponsorship Programs, the terms
of which will be set forth in separate agreements between us and each of Messrs. Granderson and Tull.
LZ
Granderson, age 47, is an award winning journalist, co-host of ESPNLA 710’s Mornings with Keyshawn, LZ and Travis, and a
writer for ESPN’s The Undefeated, a platform devoted to the exploration of the mix of race, sports and culture. He began
his professional career as an editor for ESPN’s The Magazine helping to oversee its NBA and tennis coverage. He also co-created,
produced and served as host for several other programs which have aired on ESPN. As a senior writer at ESPN, Mr. Granderson has
maintained a regular column at ESPN and has served as a contributing commentator on ESPN’s Outside the Lines, Around the
Horn and Sportscenter. He has worked for several newspapers, including the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the South Bend Tribune
and the Grand Rapids Press, where he primarily covered sports, politics, education and entertainment. In 2016, he was inducted
into the National Lesbian and Gay Journalist Association Hall of Fame and recently joined the Marvel Studios digital team. In
addition to his current roles at ESPN, Mr. Granderson is a sports columnist for the Los Angeles Times and a contributor to CNN.
Previously, he also served as a political analyst for ABC. Other notable achievements by Mr. Granderson include his having been
named the 2011 Journalist of the Year by the National Lesbian Gay Journalist Association, a Hechinger Institute Fellow at Columbia
University, an Institute of Politics Teaching Fellow at The University of Chicago, a founding member of ESPN’s Executive
Diversity Task Force, an Online Journalism Award Finalist for Commentary, a National Association of Black Journalists Excellence
in Journalism Finalist, a Winner of Online Journalism Award given by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, a Human
Rights Campaign Visibility Award and a Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Hero Network Award. We believe that Mr. Granderson
is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors based upon his industry and professional background.
Robert
Tull, age 66, has been a recognized expert in the Exchange Traded Fund (“ETF”) market since 1993 providing consulting
services to issuers and governments on ETF infrastructure support. Mr. Tull will be leading in the creation and execution of our
LGBTQ Preference Index. He is a named inventor on multiple security patents involving exchange-traded products, and he has been
successful in presenting innovative registrations to the SEC since 1994. From 2005 to 2019, he has been a consultant to many ETF
issuers in the U.S. and international markets. From 2000 to 2005, Mr. Tull was the Vice President of New Product Development at
the American Stock Exchange LLC (AMEX) and Executive Director of AMEX ETF Services, the international ETF consulting arm of the
AMEX. During his tenure there, he led the development of over 275 ETFs across equities, commodities, currencies, money markets,
active strategies, and fundamental and factor indexes. From 1996 to 2000, he held several senior roles at Deutsche Bank including
Managing Director and COO of Bankers Trust Global Custody, Benefit Payments and Master Trust business units. From 1982 to 1996
he was employed at Morgan Stanley and was responsible for the development, operations and systems management needs of various
trading and fee-based business units including bullion trading and Morgan Stanley Trust Company. From 1991 to 1996 his accomplishments
included the ETP development of WEBs and OPALS. Mr. Tull also served as head of bullion operations at Drexel Burnham Lambert Trading
Corporation from April to September of 1982. From 1980 to April 1982, he was a bullion trader at Phibro responsible for scrap
gold, physical silver sales to coin dealers and refining and transportation of scrap bullion. We believe that Mr. Tull is qualified
to serve on our Board of Directors based upon his business background and expertise.
