Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 27, 2024, Joseph Matozzo and Michael A. Coates stepped down as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, of US Lighting Group, Inc. (“USLG” or the “company”). The decision was a mutual one between Messrs. Matozzo and Coates and the company’s board of directors.
Mr. Coates joined the company as controller in February 2023 and was promoted to chief financial officer in December 2023. We thank him for his support of the company during this critical expansion phase of our business into growth sectors such as high-end recreational vehicles (RVs), prefabricated off-grid houses, and high-performance powerboats. Mr. Matozzo joined the company as interim CEO in September 2024. Messrs. Matozzo and Coates have decided to pursue other opportunities, and our board wishes them the best of luck in their future endeavors.
At this time the company has not identified a new CEO or CFO, but is in the process of conducting a search and will announce any additions to our executive team. We are currently focused on launching the Cortes Campers molded fiberglass 22-foot travel trailer, which generated significant interest at the 2024 RV Show in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
