Biographies of Directors and Officers
The following is a brief account of the education and business experience during at least the past five years of each director, executive officer and key employee of our company, indicating the person’s principal occupation during that period, and the name and principal business of the organization in which such occupation and employment were carried out.
Dr. Arthur “Art” Malone, Jr.
From 2010 through the current date, Dr. Malone has been an entrepreneur, whether it be from investing in public and private companies to creating business opportunities for those not as fortunate, to advising public or private companies on corporate structure. Dr. Malone was formerly the Chairman and CEO of Songstagram, a mobile app company, that he resigned from, and which sold its interests in licensing agreements to a publicly traded company, bBooth, Inc., and formerly the Chairman and CEO of Medresponse Corp. (f/k/a Merecot Corp., MEDR) in 2015 when he sold his interests in November 2015. Dr. Malone, through his company, AMJ Global, has also created a clothing line as well as an entertainment company, and Dr. Malone taught over 5 years at Channel Islands Bible College. Dr. Malone attended the University of Washington where he studied Criminal Law and Sociology. Dr. Malone also attended Kings Seminary as well as Channel Islands Bible College. Dr. Malone holds a Bachelor’s Degree, as well as two Masters Degrees, and a Ph.D. The Company believes that Dr. Malone’s extensive experience in the technology sector and with small public companies qualifies him to serve as a director of the Company. The terms of Dr. Malone’s employment have not yet been determined. Dr. Malone, through AMJ Global LLC and AMJ Global Entertainment LLC, owns approximately 96.7% of the voting securities of the Company as of November 30, 2021.
Our directors are elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders, with vacancies filled by the Board of Directors, and serve until their successors are elected and qualified, or their earlier resignation or removal. Officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors or until their earlier resignation or removal. Any action required can be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation which may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if consent of consents in writing setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office, its principle place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which the proceedings of meetings are recorded.
As we have recently devoted efforts to exploring the intersection of technology and wholistic technology-based health treatments for a variety of mental health conditions, from autism to dementia and Alzheimer’s, we have also retained Board of Advisors composed of advisors we believe are competent to advise us regarding technology, sports health issues and treatments, and PTSD.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides that a director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is proven that (i) the director’s or officer’s acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law. Section 78.7502 of NRS permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful. Section 78.751 of NRS permits a Nevada company to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. Section 78.751 of NRS further permits the company to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise. Section 78.752 of NRS provides that a Nevada company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the company has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no director or officer of the Company will be personally liable to the Company or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of NRS. In addition, our Bylaws implement the indemnification and insurance provisions permitted by Chapter 78 of the NRS by providing that the Company shall indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS and may, if and to the extent authorized by the board of directors, so indemnify its officers and any other person whom it has the power to indemnify against liability, reasonable expense or other matter whatsoever; and the Company may at the discretion of the board of directors purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who holds or who has held any position identified in the paragraph above against any and all liability incurred by such person in any such position or arising out of his status as such.
Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling the company pursuant to provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Director Compensation
During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not have an independent director. Directors that were employees (i.e., Dr. Malone, our sole officer and director) were not paid any fees for their role as director.
Involvement on Certain Material Legal Proceedings During the Last Five Years
No director, officer, significant employee or consultant has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, exclusive of traffic violations.
No bankruptcy petitions have been filed by or against any business or property of any director, officer, significant employee or consultant of the Company nor has any bankruptcy petition been filed against a partnership or business association where these persons were general partners or executive officers.
No director, officer, significant employee or consultant has been permanently or temporarily enjoined, barred, suspended or otherwise limited from involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.
No director, officer or significant employee has been convicted of violating a federal or state securities or commodities law.
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance
The Company does not have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Code of Ethics
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, but have not done so to date due to our relatively small size. We intend to adopt a written code of ethics in the near future.
Corporate Governance and Board Independence
Our Board of Directors consists of one director and has not established a Nominating or Governance Committees as standing committees. The Board does not have an executive committee or any committees performing a similar function. We are not currently listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be independent.
Due to our lack of operations and size, and since we are not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we are not subject to any listing requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees; all functions of a nominating/governance committee were performed by our whole board of directors. Our board of directors intends to appoint such persons and form such committees as are required to meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by the national securities exchanges as necessary. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees at the early stage of the company’s development, and our board of directors believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the members of our board of directors.
We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date.
Board Leadership Structure and the Board’s Role in Risk Oversight.
The Board of Directors is led by a Chairman, and at this time our Chairman is our sole director and is also our Chief Executive Officer. Although our sole officer is our sole director, the Board believes that the most effective leadership structure at this time is not to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. A combined structure provides the Company with a single leader who represents the company to our stockholders, regulators, business partners and other stakeholders, among other reasons set forth below.
| ● | This structure creates efficiency in the preparation of the meeting agendas and related Board materials as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer works directly with those individuals preparing the necessary Board materials and is more connected to the overall daily operations of the Company. Agendas are also prepared with the permitted input of the full Board of Directors allowing for any concerns or risks of any individual director to be discussed as deemed appropriate. The Board believes that the Company has benefited from this structure, and Mr. Perry’s continuation in the combined role of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of the stockholders. |
| ● | The Company believes that the combined structure is necessary and allows for efficient and effective oversight, given the Company’s relatively small size, its corporate strategy and focus. |
The Board of Directors does not have a specific role in risk oversight of the Company. The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and employees of the Company provide the Board of Directors with information regarding the Company’s risks.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Transactions with Related Persons
At November 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company owed $67,107 and $16,276, respectively, to AMJ Global Entertainment LLC, a related party controlled by the Company’s CEO and director. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. During the year ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company received proceeds of $50,831 and $2,500, respectively, from the related party.
Stock Purchase Agreement
On November 1, 2017, the Company executed a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with AMJ Global Entertainment, LLC, a related party and holder of 4,803,195 shares of common stock in Patient Access Solutions Inc., a Nevada corporation with ticker symbol “PASO”. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company issued 157,142 shares of common stock in exchange for 1,157,142 shares of Patient Access Solutions Inc. On November 1, 2017, the Company recorded the shares of Patient Access Solutions Inc. at $81,000. On January 13, 2020, the transaction was rescinded, and on July 19, 2021 the Company returned 1,157,142 shares of Patient Access Solutions Inc. back to AMJ Global Entertainment, LLC in exchange for 157,142 shares of the Company.
Director Independence
We currently do not have any independent directors, as the term “independent” is defined in Section 803A of the NYSE Amex LLC Company Guide. Since the Over the Counter Pink (“OTCPK”) does not have rules regarding director independence, the Board makes its determination as to director independence based on the definition of “independence” as defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and American Stock Exchange (“Amex”).
