It is anticipated that this Proxy Statement will be mailed to our stockholders on or about May 5, 2016. References to the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our,” refer to Greenpro Capital Corp.
The Annual Meeting is for the purpose of considering and voting:
1. | To elect the Board of Directors. The Board intends to present for election the following seven nominees: Lee Chong Kuang, Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, Thanawat Lertwattanarak, Srirat Chuchottaworn, Hee Chee Keong, Shum Albert, Chin Kiew Kwong; | |

In the event that a quorum is not present at the annual meeting, you may also be asked to vote upon a proposal to adjourn or postpone the annual meeting to solicit additional proxies.
Record Date
Only stockholders of record as of the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments thereof. As of the Record Date, 51,963,755 shares of our Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), were issued and outstanding. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.
Voting Rights and Quorum
Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote. The presence in person or representation by proxy of holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date will constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. If a share is represented for any purpose at the meeting, it is deemed to be present for the transaction of all business. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. In the event that a quorum is not present at the annual meeting, it is expected that the annual meeting will be adjourned or postponed to solicit additional proxies.

Vote Required
Each item to be acted upon at the meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the item, assuming that a quorum is present or represented at the meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote for directors at the Meeting.
A properly executed proxy marked “WITHHOLD” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, and will have the same effect as a vote cast against such director. With respect to the other proposals, a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN,” although counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, will not be voted. Accordingly, an abstention will have the same effect as a vote cast against a proposal. Under Nevada law, a broker non-vote will be treated as not being voted and will have the same effect as a vote cast against a proposal.
If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker, your broker, as the record holder of the shares, must vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. In accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), a brokerage firm may give a proxy to vote its customer’s stock without customer instructions if the brokerage firm (i) transmitted proxy materials to the beneficial owner of the stock, (ii) did not receive voting instructions by the date specified in the statement accompanying the proxy materials and (iii) has no knowledge of any contest with respect to the actions to be taken at the stockholders’ meeting and such actions are adequately disclosed to stockholders. In addition, under new NYSE rules, brokerage firms may not vote their customers’ stock without instructions from the customer if the vote concerns the election of directors, a matter relating to executive compensation, including the advisory proposal on compensation and the advisory proposal on how frequently stockholders should vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officers, which will be voted on at the meeting, or an authorization for a merger, consolidation or any matter that could substantially affect the rights or privileges of the stock.
Voting and Revocation of Proxies
After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, you may attend the annual meeting and vote your shares in person, by telephone or over the Internet. You may also grant your proxy to vote by returning a signed, dated and marked proxy card, by telephone or over the Internet.
Unless you specify to the contrary, all of your shares represented by valid proxies will be voted
● | “FOR” all director nominees; | |
● | “FOR” the appointment of Anton & Chia, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm; | |
● | “FOR” the approval of the compensation arrangements of certain executive officers; | |
● | “EVERY THREE YEARS” regarding the frequency stockholders should vote to approve the compensation arrangements of certain executive officers; and | |

● | by changing your vote or revoking your proxy by telephone or over the Internet; | |
● | if you hold shares in your name, by attending the annual meeting and voting in person (your attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy; you must vote in person at the meeting); | |
● | if you have instructed a broker or bank to vote your shares, by following the directions received from your broker or bank to change those instructions; or | |
● | if you hold shares in street name with your broker or by a nominee, by obtaining a legal proxy from the institution that holds your shares, attending the annual meeting and voting in person (your attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy; you must vote in person at the meeting). |

As of December 31, 2014, the Company received $1,032 in advisory income from CGN Nanotech Inc. Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and director, is the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, and director of CGN Nanotech Inc. Greenpro Venture Capital Limited, an investment holding of the Company, holds approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding securities of CGN Nanotech Inc.
Transactions with Mr. Lertwattanarak and Ms. Chuchottaworn, our Directors
During the six months period ended June 30, 2015, and prior to their appointment to our Board of Directors on October 18, 2015, Mr. Thanawat Lertwattanarak and Ms. Srirat Chuchottaworn advanced collectively $1,171,000 to the Company, which bears no interest and is payable upon demand, for the purpose of business development.
In July 2015, the Company issued two 8% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to Mr. Thanawat Lertwattanarak and Ms. Srirat Chuchottaworn (the “Holders”), in the principal amount of $585,500 for each Note, pursuant to certain Securities Purchase Agreements dated July 10, 2015. The Notes were convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at the Holders’ election at a conversion price of $1 per share. On August 31, 2015, the Holders elected to convert $585,500 of the principle sum of the Note into 585,500 shares of common stock of the Company for each note, for an aggregate of 1,171,000 shares of our common stock.
We believe that all of these related party transactions are generally transacted in an arm-length basis at the current market value in the normal course of business.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements for our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were met during the year ended December 31, 2015, except as follows: Each of Messrs. Lee, Loke and Lertwattanarak and Ms. Chuchottaworn were was late in filing his or her Form 3s. Messrs. Lee and Loke were also late in filing the required Form 4’s in connection with the acquisition of our securities arising from our acquisitions of GRBV, A&G, and GPVC.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director Independence
We have adopted standards for director independence that correspond to NASDAQ listing standards and SEC rules. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. To be considered independent, the Board must affirmatively determine that neither the director, nor any member of his or her immediate family, has had any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company within the previous three years.
The Board considered relationships, transactions and/or arrangements with each of the directors and concluded that none of the non-employee directors, or any of his or her immediate family members, has any relationship with us that would impair his or her independence. The Board has determined that each of Hee Chee Keong, Shum Albert and Chin Kiew Kwong qualifies as an independent director under applicable NASDAQ listing standards and SEC rules.
Board Meetings
During calendar year 2015, our Board held 10 meetings and acted by written consent 3 times. Each director attended all Board meetings and applicable committee meetings held during calendar year 2015. The work of the Company’s directors is performed not only at meetings of the Board, but also by consideration of the Company’s business through the review of documents and in numerous communications among Board members and others.
Director Attendance at Annual Meeting
We have not yet developed a policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of the stockholders. We expect all of our directors to attend our 2016 Annual Stockholders Meeting,
Committees of Our Board

No member of the Audit Committee serves on the audit committees of more than three public companies. The charter of the Audit Committee was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10K which was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016.
Audit Committee Report
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended and adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. It has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence. Based upon the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Our Annual Report on Form 10K was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016.
Submitted by members of the Audit Committee:
Hee Chee Keong (Chairman)
Shum Albert
Chin Kiew Kwong
Other Committees
We have not yet formed our Compensation and Nominations and Corporate Governance committees and the functions of such committees are currently performed by our entire board. We expect to form such committees in the future and anticipate that our independent directors will also serve on such committees.
Identifying and Evaluating Nominees
In considering candidates for membership on the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will take into consideration the needs of the Board of Directors and the candidate’s qualifications. The Board of Directors will request such information as:
● | The name and address of the proposed candidate; | |
● | The proposed candidates resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a director of the Company; | |
● | A description of any relationship that could affect such person’s qualifying as an independent director, including identifying all other public company board and committee memberships; | |
● | A confirmation of such person’s willingness to serve as a director if selected by the Board of Directors; and | |
● | Any information about the proposed candidate that would, under the federal proxy rules, be required to be included in the Company’s proxy statement if such person were a nominee. |
Once a person has been identified by the Board of Directors as a potential candidate, the Board of Directors may collect and review publicly available information regarding the person to assess whether the person should be considered further. Generally, if the person expresses a willingness to be considered and to serve on the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors believes that the candidate has the potential to be a good candidate, the Board of Directors would seek to gather information from or about the candidate, including through one or more interviews as appropriate and review his or her accomplishments and qualifications generally, including in light of any other candidates that the Board of Directors may be considering. The Board of Director’s evaluation process does not vary based on whether the candidate is recommended by a shareholder.
10 |
The Board of Directors will, from time to time, seek to identify potential candidates for director nominees and will consider potential candidates proposed by the Board of Directors and by management of the Company. There is no specific board diversity policy in place presently.
Consideration and Determination of Executive and Director Compensation
Our Board of Directors is responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of our philosophy with respect to the compensation of executives and for monitoring the implementation and results of the compensation philosophy to ensure compensation remains competitive, creates proper incentives to enhance stockholder value and rewards superior performance. Our Board annually reviews and approves for each named executive officer, and particularly with regard to the Chief Executive Officer, all components of the executive’s compensation. Our Board may award discretionary bonuses to each of the named executives, and reviews and approves the process and factors (including individual and corporate performance measures and actual performance versus such measures) used by the Chief Executive Officer to recommend such awards. Additionally, our Board reviews and approves the base salary, equity-incentive awards (if any) and any other special or supplemental benefits of the named executive officers. For additional information regarding the operation of the Compensation Committee, see our discussion under the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” of this proxy statement.
Communications with Our Board
Stockholders and interested parties who wish to contact our Board, a committee thereof, the presiding non-management director of executive sessions or any individual director are invited to do so by writing to:
Board of Directors of Greenpro Capital Corp.
c/o Corporate Secretary
Suite 2201, 22/F Malaysia Building, 50 Gloucester Road
Wanchai, Hong Kong
All communications will be forwarded to our Board of Directors, the specified committee or the specified individual director, as appropriate.
Board Leadership Structure
We intend to designate Lee Chong Kuang to serve as the Chairman of the Board upon re-election to the Board. As the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, we believe that Mr. Lee will bring to the Board extensive experience and familiarity with our business in particular and its industries generally. We believe this background enhances the role of executive members of the Board in the development of long-term strategic plans and oversight of senior management in the implementation of those plans. We intend to provide independent directors with opportunities to meet in executive sessions without management present at the time of each regular Board meeting and additionally as deemed appropriate or necessary. Because Mr. Lee are not independent under NASDAQ standards, the chair at these executive sessions will rotate among the chairman of the Audit Committee and, when formed, the chairman of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee. We believe that this structure will allow multiple directors to exercise important leadership roles, and will also provide for focused engagement by the Board committees and their chairs in their respective areas of responsibility. We believe that this structure will help facilitate clear and open communications between the Board of Directors and senior management, while providing for active oversight by independent directors. For the above reasons, the Board of Directors believes the current and the prospective leadership structure is appropriate for the Company.
11 |
Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
Our management team is primarily responsible for the day-to-day assessment and management of the Company’s risk exposure. The Board of Directors provides oversight in connection with these efforts, with a particular focus on the most significant risks facing us. The Board of Directors believes that full and open communication between the management team and the Board of Directors is essential for both effective risk management and for meaningful oversight. To this end, the Board of Directors regularly meets with our Chief Executive Officer and the other members of our senior management team to discuss strategies, key challenges, and risks and opportunities for us. Management periodically presents to the Board of Directors strategic overviews of the Company’s most significant issues, including risks affecting the Company.
In order to help facilitate its risk oversight responsibilities, the Board of Directors intends to utilize each of its committees to oversee specific areas of risk that are appropriately related to the committee’s areas of responsibility once such committees are established. The Audit Committee will assist the Board of Directors in discharging its oversight responsibilities in the areas of internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and legal and regulatory compliance. The Audit Committee will discuss with management, the internal audit group and the independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Audit Committee will also discuss with management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposure. The Compensation Committee, once formed, will assist the Board of Directors in discharging its oversight responsibilities regarding the risks related to the attraction and retention of personnel as well as the risks associated with the design of compensation programs and arrangements applicable to both executive officers and to all employees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, once formed, will establish, monitor and evaluate the implementation of our corporate governance policies. While the Board committees will be responsible for initially monitoring certain risks, the entire Board of Directors will be kept informed of the significant risks facing the Company through management and committee reports about such risks and the steps being taken to mitigate these risks.
Risk Assessment of Compensation Policies and Practices
Our Board of Directors oversees management’s evaluation of whether our employee compensation policies and practices pose any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In conducting this evaluation, management reviews our overall compensation structure, taking into account the overall mix of compensation and the overall business risk. Management undertakes such a review periodically and reports to the Board any finding that a risk related to our compensation structure may exist, as well as any factors which may mitigate the risk posed by the particular compensation policy or practice. We have determined that there are currently no risks arising from our compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our executive compensation philosophy is to create a long-term direct relationship between pay and our performance. Our executive compensation program is designed to provide a balanced total compensation package over the executive’s career with us. The compensation program objectives are to attract, motivate and retain the qualified executives that help ensure our future success, to provide incentives for increasing our profits by awarding executives when corporate goals are achieved and to align the interests of executives and long-term stockholders. The compensation package of our named executive officers consists of two main elements:
1. | base salary for our executives that is competitive relative to the market, and that reflects individual performance, retention and other relevant considerations; and | |
2. | discretionary bonus awards payable in cash or shares and tied to the satisfaction of corporate objectives. |
12 |
Process for Setting Executive Compensation
Our Board of Directors is responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of our philosophy with respect to the compensation of executives and for monitoring the implementation and results of the compensation philosophy to ensure compensation remains competitive, creates proper incentives to enhance stockholder value and rewards superior performance. The Board of Directors annually reviews and approves for each named executive officer, and particularly with regard to the Chief Executive Officer, all components of the executive’s compensation. The Board of Directors may award discretionary bonuses to each of the named executives, and reviews and approves the process and factors (including individual and corporate performance measures and actual performance versus such measures) used by the Chief Executive Officer to recommend such awards. Additionally, the Board of Directors reviews and approves the base salary, equity-incentive awards (if any) and any other special or supplemental benefits of the named executive officers.
The Chief Executive Officer periodically provides the Board of Directors with an evaluation of each named executive officer’s performance, based on the individual performance goals and objectives developed by the Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of the year, as well as other factors. The Board of Directors provides an evaluation for the Chief Executive Officer. These evaluations serve as the bases for bonus recommendations and changes in the compensation arrangements of our named executives.
Our Compensation Peer Group
We currently engage in informal market analysis in evaluating our executive compensation arrangements. As the Company and its businesses mature, we may retain compensation consultants that will assist us in developing a formal benchmark and selecting a compensation peer group of companies similar to us in size or business for the purpose of comparing executive compensation levels.
Program Components
Our executive compensation program consists of the following elements:
Base Salary
Our base salary structure is designed to encourage internal growth, attract and retain new talent, and reward strong leadership that will sustain our growth and profitability. The base salary for each named executive officer reflects our past and current operating profits, the named executive officer’s individual contribution to our success throughout his career, internal pay equity and informal market data regarding comparable positions within similarly situated companies. In determining and setting base salary, the Compensation Committee considers all of these factors, though it does not assign specific weights to any factor. The Compensation Committee generally reviews the base salary for each named executive officer on an annual basis. For each of our named executive officers, we review base salary data internally obtained by the Company for comparable executive positions in similarly situated companies to ensure that the base salary rate for each executive is competitive relative to the market.
Discretionary Bonus
The objectives of our bonus awards are to encourage and reward our employees, including the named executive officers, who contribute to and participate in our success by their ability, industry, leadership, loyalty or exceptional service and to recruit additional executives who will contribute to that success.
Each of our named executive officers is eligible for consideration for a discretionary cash bonus or shares bonus. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations regarding bonus awards for the named executive officers and the Board of Directors provides the bonus recommendation for the Chief Executive Officer. However, the Board of Directors has sole and final authority and discretion in designating to whom awards are made, the size of the award, if any, and its terms and conditions. The bonus recommendation for each of the named executive officers depends on a number of factors, including (i) the performance of the Company for the year, (ii) the satisfaction of certain individual and corporate performance measures, and (iii) other factors which the Board of Directors may deem relevant. The Company did not award any cash bonuses or shares bonus during fiscal year 2015.
13 |
Stock Holdings
The Board of Directors recognizes the importance of having a portion of the named executive officers’ compensation be paid in the form of equity, to help align the executives’ interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. At this point, however, the Board of Directors has chosen to emphasize the cash-based portion of our compensation program over a stock program because it believes the discretionary nature of the cash-based compensation gives it the needed flexibility to factor in and reward the attainment of longer-term goals for the Company and the executives, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
Accordingly, we encourage executive ownership of our common stock. Methods of supporting ownership include turning to executives to support the financing needs of the Company. We believe that this practice achieves the dual goals of meeting the Company’s financing needs and aligning our executives’ interests with the interests of our stockholders.
We have not timed nor do we plan to time our release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
We are parties to a three year employment contract with each of Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and director, and Mr. Lee Chong Kuang, our Chief Executive Officer, President and director.

Loke and Lee agreed to waive the additional 864,000 shares as stated in the employment contract. Messrs. Loke and Lee are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their services on our behalf.

The foregoing descriptions of the employment agreements of Messrs. Loke and Lee are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by copies of their employment agreements filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016.
Except as set forth in the Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table disclosure and the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table above, there are no options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding. At no time during the last fiscal year with respect to any of any of our executive officers was there:
● | any outstanding option or other equity-based award repriced or otherwise materially modified (such as by extension of exercise periods, the change of vesting or forfeiture conditions, the change or elimination of applicable performance criteria, or the change of the bases upon which returns are determined; |

Compensation of Directors
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we did not provide compensation to our directors for serving as our director. We currently have no formal plan for compensating our director for his services in his capacity as director, although we may elect to issue stock options or provide cash compensation to such person from time to time in the future. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director.
Compensation Risk Management
The Compensation Committee collaborated with our Board of directors and human resources staff to conduct an assessment of potential risks that may arise from our compensation programs. Based on this assessment, the Compensation Committee concluded that our policies and practices do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk taking that would be reasonably likely to have material adverse effect on the Company. The assessment included our cash incentive programs, which awards non-executives with cash bonuses for punctuality. Our compensation programs are substantially identical among business units, corporate functions and global locations (with modifications to comply with local regulations as appropriate). The risk-mitigating factors considered in this assessment included:
● | the alignment of pay philosophy, peer group companies and compensation amounts relative to local competitive practices to support our business objectives; and | |
● | effective balance of cash, short- and long-term performance periods, caps on performance-based award schedules and financial metrics with individual factors and Compensation Committee and management discretion. |

PROPOSAL NO. 3
ADVISORY, NON-BINDING VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (“SAY-ON-PAY”)
Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we provide our stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
20 |
Our executive compensation programs are designed to motivate and retain our named executive officers, who are critical to our success, and to reward our named executive officers for the achievement of short-term and long-term strategic and operational goals and the achievement of increased total stockholder return. We seek to closely align the interests of our named executive officers with the interests of our stockholders, and our Compensation Committee regularly reviews named executive officer compensation to ensure such compensation is consistent with our goals.
Required Stockholder Vote
This vote is advisory, which means that the vote on executive compensation is not binding on the Company, our Board of Directors. The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation, but rather relates to the overall compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the extent there is a significant vote against the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address our shareholders’ concerns.
Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote on the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Summary Compensation Table, and the other related tables and disclosure.
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the non-binding resolution on executive compensation.
PROPOSAL NO. 4
ADVISORY, NON-BINDING VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (SAY-ON-FREQUENCY)
The Dodd-Frank Act requires us to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, for their preference as to how frequently we should consult an advisory Say-on-Pay vote. Stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer that we conduct future Say-on-Pay votes every year, every two years or every three years. Stockholders also may abstain from casting a vote on this proposal.
Our Board of Directors has determined that a Say-on-Pay vote that occurs once every three years is the most appropriate alternative for us and therefore the Board recommends that you vote in favor of conducting a Say-on-Pay vote every three years. The Board believes that a Say-on-Pay vote occurring every three years will provide our stockholders with sufficient time to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s overall compensation philosophy, policies and practices in the context of our long-term business results for the corresponding period, while avoiding an over-emphasis on short-term variations in compensation and business results. A Say-on-Pay vote occurring every three years will also permit stockholders to observe and evaluate the effect of any changes to our executive compensation policies and practices that have occurred since the last advisory vote on executive compensation.
This vote is advisory, which means that is not binding on the Company or the Board of Directors. The Company recognizes that the stockholders may have different views as to the best approach and looks forward to hearing from the stockholders as to their preferences on the frequency of the Say-on-Pay vote. The Board of Directors will carefully review the outcome of the frequency vote; however, when considering the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the Company’s and the stockholders’ long-term best interest to hold a Say-on-Pay vote more or less frequently than the frequency receiving the most votes cast by our stockholders.
21 |
The proxy card provides stockholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the Say-on-Pay vote every one year, every two years, every three years or abstain from voting). Stockholders are not being asked to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board of Directors.
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation (Say-On-Frequency) EVERY THREE YEARS.
PROPOSAL NO. 5

The amendment was approved by our Board and holders of approximately 89.19% of the voting power of outstanding shares of our common stock on May 6, 2015 by written consent in lieu of a special meeting. A Certificate of Amendment effectuating this change was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on the same date (the “Name Change Amendment”).
Our Board and the Majority Stockholders believe that it is advisable and in the Company’s best interests to ratify the Name Change Amendment in order to facilitate the Company’s efforts to re-brand itself to develop and enhance its business.
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to ratify the Name Change Amendment.
