Item 8.01 Other Events
The Company announced today that it plans to have a virtual annual meeting of
shareholders on May 15, 2023 with shareholders of record on the close of
business on April 12, 2023 entitled to vote at the meeting. Of the several
proposals to be voted upon at the annual meeting, the Company plans to submit a
slate of five directors for election to the Board of Directors. The Company has
already identified a candidate to replace independent director Michael A.
Wright, who's resignation was accepted by the Board effective March 16, 2023.
The Board appreciates the contributions made by Mr. Wright and his leadership
through the Company's capital raising activities in late 2021 through early 2023
and listing on Nasdaq. Mr. Wright cited personal reasons for his departure. The
Company believes that including new directors to the board composition will be
conducive to lead the Company through its next phase of development and growth.
On March 21, 2023, the Board elected Nate Knight as an independent director to
fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Wright's resignation and to serve as a
member of the Company's Audit Committee, Nominating Committee and Executive
Compensation Committee. Nate Knight, age 72, is an accomplished business leader
with over 30 years of experience as a public accountant, served as an
independent director and Chief Financial Officer of United Heath Products, a
publicly traded company, from 2013 to 2020. During his tenure, he brought
extensive expertise and knowledge to the company's financial operations.
Additionally, Mr. Knight owned and operated his own accounting business, further
honing his financial acumen. Prior to joining United Heath Products, he worked
as an internal auditor at Prime Alliance Bank from 2004 to 2010. Mr. Knight has
been granted under the Company's stock option plan five year vested
non-statutory options to purchase 25,000 common shares at an exercise price of
$.22 per share exercisable at any time after the date of grant. He will also
receive the same cash consideration per month that is paid to other Board
members.
