ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On May 21, 2009 we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), with Sur- America Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SAV”), and all of the shareholders of SAV. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, on May 21, 2009 the shareholders of SAV transferred all of the shares of the capital stock of SAV held by them, constituting all of the issued and outstanding stock of SAV, in exchange for 1,576,782 newly issued shares of our common stock that, in the aggregate, constituted 90% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of such exchange. As a result of this transaction, 1,751,980 shares of our common stock are currently issued and outstanding.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the document filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this report, which is incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On May 21, 2009, we completed an acquisition of SAV pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement. Our current business plan is to seek and identify a privately-held operating company located in Latin America desiring to become a publicly held company by combining with us through a reverse merger or acquisition type transaction.
We have no capital and must depend on Mr. Galoppi to provide us with the necessary funds to implement our business plan. We intend to seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long-term growth as opposed to short-term earnings. However, at the present time, we have not identified any business opportunity that we plan to pursue, nor have we reached any agreement or definitive understanding with any person concerning an acquisition or merger.
Pierre Galoppi will be primarily responsible for investigating business combination opportunities. Mr. Galoppi has previously conducted business in Latin America, and we believe his experience and contacts in the region will facilitate the Company’s efforts to implement its business strategy. We have no plan, understanding, agreements, or commitments with any individual for such person to act as a finder of opportunities for us.
No direct discussions regarding the possibility of a business combination are presently underway. We do not propose to restrict our search for a candidate to any industry, and therefore, we are unable to predict the nature of our future business operations. Our management’s discretion in the selection of business opportunities is unrestricted, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
Investigation and Selection of Business Opportunities
Certain types of business acquisition transactions may be completed without requiring us to first submit the transaction to our stockholders for their approval. If the proposed transaction is structured in such a fashion our stockholders will not be provided with financial or other information relating to the candidate prior to the completion of the transaction.
If a proposed business combination or business acquisition transaction is structured that requires our stockholder approval, and we are a reporting company, we will be required to provide our stockholders with information as applicable under Regulations 14A and 14C under the Exchange Act.
The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of Pierre Galoppi. In analyzing potential merger candidates, we will consider, among other things, the following factors:
| * | Potential for future earnings and appreciation of value of securities; | ||||
| * | Perception of how any particular business opportunity will be received by the investment community and by our stockholders; | ||||
| * | Eligibility of a candidate, following the business combination, to qualify its securities for listing on a national exchange or on a national automated securities quotation system, such as NASDAQ; | ||||
| * | Historical results of operation; | ||||
| * | Liquidity and availability of capital resources; | ||||
| * | Competitive position as compared to other companies of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole; | ||||
| * | Strength and diversity of existing management or management prospects that are scheduled for recruitment; | ||||
| * | Amount of debt and contingent liabilities; and | ||||
| * | The products and/or services and marketing concepts of the target company. |
Except for its location in Latin America, there is no single factor that will be controlling in the selection of a business opportunity. We will attempt to analyze all factors appropriate to each opportunity and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Because of our limited capital available for investigation and our dependence on Pierre Galoppi, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the business opportunity to be acquired.
We are unable to predict when we may participate in a business opportunity. We expect, however, that the analysis of specific proposals and the selection of a business opportunity may take several months.
Prior to making a decision to participate in a business transaction, we will generally request that we be provided with written materials regarding the business opportunity containing as much relevant information as possible, including, but not limited to, a description of products, services and company history; management resumes; financial information; available projections, with related assumptions upon which they are based; an explanation of proprietary products and services; evidence of existing patents, trademarks, or service marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of compensation to management; a description of transactions between such company and its affiliates during the relevant periods; a description of present and required facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements; audited financial statements, or if audited financial statements are not available, unaudited financial statements, together with reasonable assurance that audited financial statements would be able to be produced to comply with the requirements of a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or Commission, upon consummation of the business combination.
We have no employees. Our president and sole director, Pierre Galoppi, will be responsible for managing our administrative affairs, including our reporting obligations pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act.

Board Composition and Committees
Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, Mr. Pierre Galoppi. All actions of the board of directors require the approval of a majority of the directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
We currently do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees. Currently, our entire board of directors is responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by these committees.
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
