On June 6, 2014, Chloe DiVita resigned from Fona and Steve B. Warnecke was appointed Treasurer, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and Director of Fona.

It is possible that, after Fona successfully consummates a merger or acquisition with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or more members of Fonas management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity, or otherwise provide other compensation to such persons. However, Fona has adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-transaction remuneration to members of management will not be a consideration in Fonas decision to undertake any proposed transaction. Each member of management has agreed to disclose to Fonas Board of Directors any discussions concerning possible compensation to be paid to them by any entity which proposes to undertake a transaction with Fona and further, to abstain from voting on such transaction. Therefore, as a practical matter, if each member of Fonas board of directors is offered compensation in any form from any prospective merger or acquisition candidate, the proposed transaction will not be approved by Fonas Board of Directors as a result of the inability of the Board to affirmatively approve such a transaction.
It is possible that persons associated with management may refer a prospective merger or acquisition candidate to the Company. In the event Fona consummates a transaction with any entity referred by associates of management, it is possible that such an associate will be compensated for their referral. It is anticipated that this compensation would be either in the form of restricted common stock issued by Fona as part of the terms of the proposed transaction, or will be in the form of cash consideration. However, if such compensation is in the form of cash, such payment will be tendered by the acquisition or merger candidate, because Fona has minimal cash available. The amount of such compensation, if any, cannot be determined as of the date of this Information Statement.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by Fona for the benefit of its employees
