Terms of Office

 

Our directors are appointed for one year terms in accordance with our charter documents and hold office until the earlier of: (i) the next annual meeting of our stockholders, (ii) until they are removed from the board or (iii) until they resign.

 

Family Relationships

 

None.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

1.

any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

 

2.

any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

 

3.

5.

6.

being subject of or party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization, any registered entity or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Change of Control Arrangements

 

We have no pension or compensatory plans or other arrangements which provide for compensation to our directors or officers in the event of a change in our control. There are no arrangements known to us the operation of which may at a later date result in a change in control of our company.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Except as described above, there have been no material transactions, series of similar transactions, currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company is to be a party, in which any promoter or founder, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had a material interest.

 

Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions

 

We have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions with our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders.

 

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Director Independence

 

We do not have any independent directors.

 

Board Committees

 

Our Board does not have any committees, as companies whose securities are not traded on a national exchange are not required to have Board committees. However, at such time in the future that we appoint independent directors on our Board, we expect to form the appropriate Board committees and identity an audit committee financial expert. All functions of an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee are and have been performed by our Board.

 

Board Oversight

 

Our management is responsible for managing risk and bringing the most material risks facing the Company to the Board’s attention. Because we do not yet have separately designated committees, the entire Board has oversight responsibility for the processes established to report and monitor material risks applicable to the Company relating to (1) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and review and approve the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent accountants, (2) succession planning and risk related to the attraction and retention of talent and to the design of compensation programs and arrangements, and (3) monitoring the design and administration of the Company’s compensation programs to ensure that they incentivize strong individual and group performance and include appropriate safeguards to avoid unintended or excessive risk taking by Company employees.

 

Director Nominations

 

There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. The Board of Directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time because, given the early stages of the Company’s development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until the Company’s business operations are at a more advanced level.

 

Shareholder Communication with the Board

 

The Board of Directors does not currently provide a process for shareholders to send communications to the Board of Directors because management of the Company believes that until this point it has been premature to develop such processes given the limited liquidity of the common stock of the Company. However, the new management of the Company may establish a process for shareholder communications in the future.

 

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Officer Compensation

 

The Company did not pay any compensation to its named executive officers in the 2020 or 2019 fiscal years.

 

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table

 

None.

 

Employment Agreements with Executive Officers

 

None.

 

Director Compensation

 

The Company did not pay any compensation to its director in the 2020 fiscal year.

 

Stock Option Plans

 

Currently, there is no equity compensation plan in place.
