No family relationships exist between any of our current or former directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
There are no material proceedings to which any director or executive officer or any associate of any such director or officer is a party adverse to our company or has a material interest adverse to our company.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on review of the copies of such forms, our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a code of ethics because our Board of Directors believes that our small size does not merit the expense of preparing, adopting and administering a code of ethics. Our Board of Directors intends to adopt a code of ethics when circumstances warrant.
Corporate Governance
Term of Office
Each director of our Company is to serve for a term of one year ending on the date of subsequent annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting at which such director was elected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director is to serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal. Our Board of Directors is to elect our officers and each officer is to serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal.
Committees of the Board
Our Board of Directors held two formal meetings during the year ended December 31, 2019. All other proceedings of our Board of Directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the corporate laws of the State of Nevada and our By-laws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of our directors duly called and held. During 2019, each incumbent director attended 75% or more of the meetings of our Board of Directors.
We currently do not have nominating or compensation committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating or compensation committee charter. Our Board of Directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our Board of Directors.
We do not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our Board of Directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request to the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.
Your letter should indicate that you are a stockholder of our Company. Depending on the subject matter, management will:
● Forward the communication to the Director or Directors to whom it is addressed;
● Attempt to handle the inquiry directly; or
● Not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic.
At each Board of Directors meeting or through the course of other communication, a member of management presents a summary of all communications received since the last meeting that were not forwarded and makes those communications available to the Directors on request.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have a standing audit committee at the present time. Our Board of Directors has determined that prior to the Closing Date we did not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
We believe that our Board of Directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The Board of Directors of our Company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the Board of Directors.
