CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.
Director Independence
We do not have any independent directors and our Board is in the process of searching for suitable candidates.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board does not have any committees, as companies whose securities are not traded on a national exchange are not required to have Board committees. However, at such time in the future that we appoint independent directors on our Board, we expect to form the appropriate Board committees and identity an audit committee financial expert. All functions of an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee are and have been performed by our Board.
Director Nominations
Our Board believes that, considering our size, decisions relating to director nominations can be made on a case-by-case basis by all members of the Board without the formality of a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right to do so in the future.
The Board does not have an express policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by shareholders since the Board believes that it can adequately evaluate any such nominees on a case-by-case basis; however, the Board will evaluate shareholder-recommended candidates under the same criteria as internally generated candidates. Although the Board does not currently have any formal minimum criteria for nominees, substantial relevant business and industry experience would generally be considered important, as would the ability to attend and prepare for Board, committee and shareholder meetings. Any candidate must state in advance his or her willingness and interest in serving on the Board.
Board Oversight
Our management is responsible for managing risk and bringing the most material risks facing the Company to the Board’s attention. Because we do not yet have separately designated committees, the entire Board has oversight responsibility for the processes established to report and monitor material risks applicable to the Company relating to (1) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and review and approve the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent accountants, (2) succession planning and risk related to the attraction and retention of talent and to the design of compensation programs and arrangements, and (3) monitoring the design and administration of the Company’s compensation programs to ensure that they incentivize strong individual and group performance and include appropriate safeguards to avoid unintended or excessive risk taking by Company employees.
Board Diversity
While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, our Board considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation, type and length of business experience of our Board members, as well as a particular nominee’s contributions to that mix. Although there are many other factors, the Board seeks individuals with industry knowledge and experience, senior executive business experience, and legal and accounting skills.

|
| · | 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 meeting, 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 upon request.

The Company's former sole officer and director has not received any cash or other remuneration since he was appointed to serve in such capacities. No remuneration of any nature has been paid for on account of services rendered by a director in such capacity.
We have formulated no plans as to the amounts of future cash compensation. It is possible that, after the Company successfully consummates a business combination with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain members of our management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity. No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for the benefit of its employees. There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation our management will receive after a business combination that is required to be disclosed. The Company does not have a standing compensation committee or a committee performing similar functions.
Employment Agreements
We have not entered into employment agreements with any of our officers, directors or employees.
Director Compensation
Our directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred by them in connection with attending Board meetings, but they do not receive any other compensation for serving on the Board.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities (the “Reporting Persons”), to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities with the SEC on Forms 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership), 4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) and 5 (Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities). The Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms that were received by the Company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, the Company is aware that certain Form 3s have not been filed showing indirect ownership, and a Form 4 has not been filed showing disposition of securities.
WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
We file reports with the SEC. These reports, including annual reports, quarterly reports as well as other information we are required to file pursuant to securities laws. You may read and copy materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F. Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
