Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers have been convicted in a criminal proceeding in the past ten years, 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. Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Transactions with Related Persons,” none of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
Transactions with Related Persons
We do not have any transactions with related persons.
-5-
Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
As we increase the size of our Board of Directors and gain independent directors, we expect to prepare and adopt a written related-person transactions policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of “related-persons transactions.” For purposes of our policy only, a “related-person transaction” will be a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we and any “related person” are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related person will not be covered by this policy. A related person will be any executive officer, director or a holder of more than five percent of our ordinary shares, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.
We anticipate that, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, the policy will require management to present information regarding the proposed related-person transaction to our audit committee (or, where approval by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our Board of Directors) for consideration and approval or ratification. Management’s presentation will be expected to include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the direct and indirect interests of the related persons, the benefits of the transaction to us and whether any alternative transactions are available.
To identify related-person transactions in advance, we are expected to rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant shareholders. In considering related-person transactions, our Board of Directors will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:
| · | the risks, costs and benefits to us; |
| · | the effect on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated; |
| · | the terms of the transaction; |
| · | the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and |
| · | the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from our employees generally. |
-6-
We also expect that the policy will require any interested director to excuse himself or herself from deliberations and approval of the transaction in which the interested director is involved.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To the Company’s knowledge, none of the officers, directors or shareholders of the Company was delinquent in any necessary filings under Section 16(a).
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director Independence
We currently do not have any independent directors, as the term “independent” is defined by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Board Meetings and Annual Meeting
During fiscal year ended February 28, 2018, our Board of Directors did meet and approved a holding company reorganization. We did not hold an annual meeting in 2017.
Board Committees
We presently do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee or committees performing similar functions, as our management believes that until this point it has been premature at the early stage of our management and business development to form an audit, compensation or nominating committee. However, our new management plans to form an audit, compensation and nominating committee in the near future. We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors and evaluating our accounting policies and system of internal controls. We envision that the compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefits policies (including stock options) and other compensation of our executive
-7-
officers. The nominating committee would be primarily responsible for nominating directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors. The nominating committee would also be responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures. Until these committees are established, these decisions will continue to be made by our Board of Directors. Although our Board of Directors has not established any minimum qualifications for director candidates, when considering potential director candidates, our Board of Directors considers the candidate’s character, judgment, skills and experience in the context of the needs of our Company and our Board of Directors.
We do not have a charter governing the nominating process. The members of our Board of Directors, who perform the functions of a nominating committee, are not independent because they are also our officers. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. Our Board of Directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by shareholders is necessary at this time because, given the early stages of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors recognizes that the leadership structure and combination or separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. As a result, no policy exists requiring combination or separation of leadership roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. This has allowed our Board of Directors the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for the Company at any given time.
Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the overall risk management process at the Company. Risk management is considered a strategic activity within the Company and responsibility for managing risk rests with executive management while the Board of Directors participates in the oversight of the process. The oversight responsibility of our Board of Directors is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board of Directors about the identification, assessment, and management of critical risks. These areas of focus include strategic, operational, financial and reporting, succession and compensation, compliance, and other risks.
-8-
Shareholder Communications
Our Board of Directors does not currently provide a process for shareholders to send communications to our Board of Directors because our management believes that until this point it has been premature to develop such processes given the limited liquidity of our Common Stock. However, our new management may establish a process for shareholder communications in the future.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Company’s former executive officer and director Thomas DeNunzio did not receive any cash compensation but did receive other remuneration in the amount of 1,000,000 shares of common stock for developing the company’s business plan in his capacity as such during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

All directors participated in deliberations concerning executive officer compensation, including directors who were also executive officers, however, none of our executive officers received any compensation during the last fiscal year. None of our executive officers has served on the Board of Directors or compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any other entity, any of whose executive officers served on our Board or Compensation Committee.
