Such reporting persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  Based solely upon a review of copies of Section 16(a) reports and representations received by us from reporting persons, and without conducting any independent investigation of our own during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, all forms required, if any, were filed with the SEC by such reporting persons.

Equity Compensation Plans

 

The Board may grant incentive bonuses to our executive officers and/or future executive officers in its sole discretion.  Bonuses will be granted if the Board believes such bonuses are in the Company’s best interest, after analyzing our current business objectives and growth, if any, and the amount of revenue we are able to generate each month, which revenue is a direct result of the actions and ability of such executives.  Other than our bonus plan we have no current equity compensation plans.

 

All compensation and stock option plans for executives and employees will be governed by the Compensation and Governance Committee.

 

Retirement Plans and Benefits.

 

None.

 

Director Compensation

 

We do not have a standard compensation arrangement for directors. The Company has formed a Compensation and Governance Committee to make such determinations, with approval by both the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.

 

Indemnification and Limitation on Liability of Directors

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes allows indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a company against liabilities incurred in any proceeding in which an individual is made a party because he or she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company if such person conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed his actions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A person must be found to be entitled to indemnification under this statutory standard by procedures designed to assure that disinterested members of the board of directors have approved indemnification or that, absent the ability to obtain sufficient numbers of disinterested directors, independent counsel or shareholders have approved the indemnification based on a finding that the person has met the standard. Indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses.

 

We do not have indemnification provisions in our articles or bylaws.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Outstanding Stock Options or other Equity Awards

 

We have issued no stock options or other equity awards to date.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

All transactions with related parties have occurred in the normal course of operations and are recorded at the exchange amount which is the amount agreed to by the Company and the related party.

 

Director Independence

 

The Company is not currently listed on any national exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation service, that imposes independence requirements on any committee of the Company’s directors, such as an audit, nominating or compensation committee. The Company currently does not currently have any independent directors on its Board.
