Effective December 31, 2018, the Company completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger whereby a newly formed subsidiary merged with and into Apeiron Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Apeiron”), and under which Apeiron was the surviving corporation and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We exchanged 7,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for all of the outstanding securities of Apeiron, 6,300,000 of which shares were issued to the Reporting Person. The Apeiron Shareholders Voting Agreement was executed and delivered by Apeiron and its two shareholders, Joshua Ploude and Vyacheslav Yanson (the “Apeiron Shareholders”), along with the Company and Mr. McEwen, as a condition of the closing of the merger. For additional information on this merger, see the Company’s 8-K Current Report dated December 31, 2018, and filed with the SEC on December 31, 2018. See Item 7.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Simultaneous with the closing of the Apeiron merger, we executed a Shareholder Voting Agreement (the “Apeiron Shareholders Voting Agreement”) between the Company, the Apeiron Shareholders and D.

The Apeiron Shareholders Voting Agreement also provides, however, that if Mr. McEwen has been removed as a director for cause by our shareholders and such removal has been confirmed by a Delaware court of competent jurisdiction under Delaware Law, this “nominee” provision shall not be enforceable by Mr. McEwen and shall be void.
