CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Director Independence

 

We do not have any independent directors.

 

Board Committees

 

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.

 

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.

 

Director Nominations

 

There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. The Board of Directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time because, given the early stages of the Company’s development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until the Company’s business operations are at a more advanced level.

 

Shareholder Communication with the Board

 

The Board of Directors does not currently provide a process for shareholders to send communications to the Board of Directors because management of the Company believes that until this point it has been premature to develop such processes given the limited liquidity of the common stock of the Company. However, the new management of the Company may establish a process for shareholder communications in the future.

 

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Officer Compensation

 

The Company did not pay any compensation to its named executive officers in the 2020 or 2019 fiscal years.

 

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table

 

None.

 

Employment Agreements with Executive Officers

 

None.

 

Director Compensation

 

The Company did not pay any compensation to its director in the 2020 fiscal year.

 

Stock Option Plans

 

Currently, there is no equity compensation plan in place.
