Item 5.02(a). Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

(1)Effective October 10, 2013, Mr. Stephan P. Pinto resigned as the Chairman, director and committee member of the Board of Directors of the registrant. At the time of Mr. Pinto’s resignation, he was the Chairman, a board member, and a committee member of the Spending Committee and the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of the registrant. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Pinto’s resignation was a result of perceived differences of philosophical opinion between Mr. Pinto and some other members of the Board of Directors regarding the conduct of the Board, the Company operations and other transactions of the registrant not in the ordinary course of its business. Mr. Pinto resigned because these differences could result in a conflict of his interest as a stockholder and his position as a Board member representing the Company.

 

(2)On October 10, 2013, Mr. Stephan P. Pinto resigned as the Chairman, director and committee member of the Board of Directors of the registrant and furnished his letter of resignation to the registrant. On October 11, 2013, Mr. Pinto furnished to the registrant a follow up letter to his letter of resignation citing the reason for his resignation as a “perceived conflict of interest”.

 

(3)On October 16, 2013, the registrant provided Mr. Pinto a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to this Item 5.02. On October 16, 2013, Mr. Pinto furnished a letter to the registrant stating that he agrees with the statements the registrant is making in response to this Item 5.02.

Subject: Resignation Letter

 

Resignation Letter.

 

For the record; October 8, 2013 at the Board meeting, I was excluded from the meeting because Mr. Mandell and the Corporate Attorney perceived me as a potential litigant.

I have been pretty clear that there are issues that need to be addressed urgently and the purpose was to make the Company aware of what these issues are and make corrections for the good of the Company and the investors and creditors. It was not to sue the Company. 

 

REDACTED1

 

It is now obvious that Board cannot conduct the Company business effectively with me on the Board due to this perceived litigation concern.

I therefore chose to resign for the best of the Company.

I sincerely hope the Board can navigate the Company into a success.

 

REDACTED

 

I therefore resign effective immediately, today October 10, 2013

 

Stephan P. Pinto
