CHANGE OF CONTROL

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, upon the closing of the Acquisition, the members of LUXURIE will collectively hold majority voting control of our issued and outstanding capital stock by virtue of their ownership of newly created Series A and Series B Preferred Stock.

 

We anticipate that the shares of our preferred stock issued to the former LUXURIE members will be issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Regulation D or Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Because of the change in the composition of the Board and the issuance of securities contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, there will be a change-of-control of the Company on the date the Acquisition is completed.

 

Our completion of the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, including approval of the members of LUXURIE. There can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be completed as proposed or at all.

 

 

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Our executive officers hold their positions at the discretion of our Board, subject to any employment or management agreements. There are no arrangements, agreements or understandings between non-management security holders and management under which non-management security holders may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our affairs.

Significant Employees

 

As of the date hereof, we have no significant employees and do not anticipate having any significant employees following the Acquisition, other than our named executive officers.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between or among any of the current and incoming directors or executive officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To our knowledge, there have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no Federal or State judicial or administrative orders, judgments or decrees or findings, no violations of any Federal or State securities law, and no violations of any Federal commodities law material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director (existing or proposed) or executive officer (existing or proposed) of the Company during the past ten (10) years.

 

Transactions with Related Persons

 

In 2008, the current President advanced the Company $561 repayable without interest or any other terms. The unpaid balance as at October 23, 2018 was $261. The President advanced a further $229 (CAD $300) to cover out of pocket expenditures. On October 23, 2018, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with the President by combining the two advances to the aggregate amount of $490. The note payable is due on demand and may be convertible to common stock of the Company at $0.05 per share. There were no other related party transactions during the period ended December 31, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018. The loan has been included in Note 5 of the Company’s 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2019.

 

Other than as described above, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, we have not entered into any transactions, and there are no currently proposed transactions, with our officers, directors, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, or family members of these persons wherein the amount involved in the transaction or a series of similar transactions exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last three fiscal years.

 

The Board appointed Jeffrey Canouse, who has been designated by LUXURIE, as a director on July 17, 2020 and he was also approved to replace Joseph Gallo as our sole officer of our Company at the Effective Time of the Acquisition. See the description of our share ownership below for more information.

 

Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

 

While we do not have any special committee, policy or procedure related to the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, our board of directors reviews all such transactions.

 

 

Director Independence

 

Director Independence

 

Our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or on any inter-dealer quotation system which has a requirement that a majority of directors be independent. We evaluate independence by the standards for director independence set forth in the NYSE MKT Marketplace Rules.

 

Under these rules, a director is not considered to be independent if he or she also is an executive officer or employee of the corporation. As a result, our current directors, Joseph Gallo, is not considered independent. Upon completion of the Acquisition, our new director, Jeffrey Canouse, will not be considered independent because he will also serve as an officer of our company.

 

Board of Directors’ Meetings

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, our board of directors did not meet, as it consisted of one member, Joseph Gallo. Our board conducted all business and approved all corporate actions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 by the unanimous written consent of its members, in the absence of formal board meetings.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

As our common stock is not presently listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not presently required to and do not have any board committees.

 

The Board performs the functions of the audit committee. The Board does not have a qualified financial expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert.

 

Due to our small size and limited operations to date, we do not presently have a nominating committee, compensation committee or other committee performing similar functions. We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board, and we do not have a diversity policy.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Security Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive officers and 10% or greater shareholders of Madison to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership (Form 3) and reports of changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company (Form 4 and Form 5) and to provide copies of all such Forms as filed to Madison. Based solely on Madison’s review of the copies of these forms received by it or representations from certain reporting persons, management believes that SEC beneficial ownership reporting requirements for fiscal 2019 were met.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company’s Code of Ethics was filed as an exhibit to our 10-K filed on March 31, 2010 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role on Risk Oversight

 

Joseph Gallo currently serves as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Joseph Gallo was the sole member of our board of directors until the Board appointed Jeffery Canouse as a director on July 17, 2020. At present, we have determined this leadership structure is appropriate due to our small size and limited operations and resources.

 

We have no policy requiring the combination or separation of the Principal Executive Officer and Chairman roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. Our directors recognize that the leadership structure and the combination or separation of these leadership roles is driven by our needs at any point in time.

 

 

Our directors are involved in the general oversight of risks that could affect our business and they will continue to evaluate our leadership structure and modify such structure as appropriate based on our size, resources and operations.
