Except as disclosed below, none of the following persons has had any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction to which we have been a party since our incorporation or in any transaction to which we are proposed to be a party, other than the Share Purchase Agreement:
(a) | any director or officer; |

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s securities (“Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on a review of such reports received by the Company, other than as described below, no other reports were required for those persons, the Company believes that, during the last fiscal year, all Reporting Persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.
The following persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934:
Name and Principal | Number of Late | Transactions Not | Known Failures to File |
Position | Reports | Timely Reported | a Required Form |
Marc Branson, | One | One | None |
Director | | | |

AUDIT, NOMINATING AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company is not a listed issuer and, under the rules of the OTC Bulletin Board, the company is not required to maintain a separately designated standing audit, nominating or compensation committee.
6
As Mr. Branson comprises the Company’s board of directors, there are no independent members of the Company’s board of directors and Mr. Branson has determined that the cost of appointing independent directors is prohibitive. As there is no separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee, the Company does not have a charter for such a committee and the Company does not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders.
MEETINGS OF DIRECTORS
There were no meetings of the board of directors during the last full fiscal year and all actions taken by the board of directors were taken by consent resolution.
NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS
Dr. Veltheer is to replace Mr. Branson as a director of the Company upon completion of the Share Purchase Agreement. It is expected that the appointment of Dr. Veltheer as a director of the Company will be made by a consent resolution of the Company’s then director. As such, the stockholders of the Company will not be given an opportunity to recommend additional or alternative candidates for the Company’s board of directors.
SECURITY HOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company has not provided any separate process for communicating with the board of directors. Communications to the board of directors may be directed to the Company at the address and telephone number set out on the cover page to this Information Statement.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTIONS
During the last fiscal year, no plan or non-plan compensation was awarded to, earned by or paid to any officers or directors of the Company, no stock options or stock appreciation rights were granted to any officers or directors of the Company, no officers or directors exercised any stock options or stock appreciation rights and no awards were made to any officers or directors of the Company under any long term incentive plans.
The Company has no compensation arrangements or employment contracts with any officers or directors of the Company and the Company has no stock options outstanding.
