 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

 

We are offering up to 13,33333,333 shares of our common stock on a “best efforts” basis for $0.75 per share, for a total of up to $10,000,000 in gross offering proceeds, assuming all securities are sold. Selling securityholders expect to offer 266,665 shares of Common Stock in this offering on a “best efforts” basis for $0.75 per share.

 

The minimum investment for any investor purchasing shares from the Company is $10,000, unless such minimum is waived by the Company, which may be done in its sole discretion on a case-by-case basis. There is no minimum investment amount for any investor purchasing shares from Selling Securityholders.

 

There is no minimum aggregate offering amount or provision to escrow or return investor funds if any minimum number of shares is not sold, and we may sell significantly fewer shares of common stock than those offered hereby. In fact, there can be no assurances that the Company will sell any or all of the offered shares. All money we receive from the offering will be immediately available to us for the uses set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this offering circular. There will be no refunds. No shares shall be sold by the selling securityholders until an aggregate of 888,883 shares offered by the Company has been purchased further to this Offering Circular, and the transfer agent of the Company will be instructed as such. 

 

Our common stock is not now listed on any national securities exchange or the NASDAQ stock market; however, the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Pink marketplace. There is currently only a limited market for our securities and there is no guarantee that a more substantial or active trading market will develop in the future. There is also no guarantee that our securities will ever trade on any listed exchange. Accordingly, our shares should be considered highly illiquid, which inhibits investors’ ability to resell their shares. 

 

Upon this circular being qualified by the SEC, the Company may offer and sell shares from time to time until all of the shares registered are sold; however, this offering will terminate one year from the initial qualification date of this circular, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company. The Company may terminate this offering at any time and may also extend the offering term by 90 days. 

 

Currently, we plan to have our directors and executive officers and directors sell the shares offered hereby on a best-efforts basis. The shares of Selling Securityholders will be sold by our directors and executive officers or by Selling Securityholders subject to full compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

Our directors and executive officers will receive no discounts or commissions. Our executive officers will deliver this circular to those persons who they believe might have interest in purchasing all or a part of this offering. The Company may generally solicit investors; however, it must abide by the “blue sky” regulations relating to investor solicitation in the states where it will solicit investors. All shares (whether the shares offered by the Company or the shares offered by Selling Securityholders) will be offered on a “best efforts” basis.

Our directors and officers will not register as broker-dealers under Section 15 of the Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. The conditions are that:

 

  the person is not statutorily disqualified, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act, at the time of his participation;

 

  the person is not at the time of their participation an associated person of a broker-dealer; and

 

  the person meets the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that he (i) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and (ii) is not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and (iii) does not participate in selling and offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

Our officers and directors are not statutorily disqualified, are not being compensated, and are not associated with a broker-dealer. They are and will continue to hold their positions as officers or directors following the completion of the offering and have not been during the past 12 months and are currently not brokers or dealers or associated with brokers or dealers. They have not nor will they participate in the sale of securities of any issuer more than once every 12 months.

  

As of the date of this circular, we have not entered into any arrangements with any selling agents for the sale of the securities; however, we may engage one or more selling agents to sell the securities in the future. If we elect to do so, we will supplement this circular as appropriate.

  

All subscription agreements and checks received by the Company for the purchase of shares are irrevocable until accepted or rejected by the Company and should be delivered to the Company as provided in the subscription agreement. A subscription agreement executed by a subscriber is not binding on the Company until it is accepted on our behalf by the Company’s CEO or by specific resolution of our Board of Directors. Any subscription not accepted within 30 days will be automatically deemed rejected. Once accepted, the Company will deliver a stock certificate to a purchaser within five days from a request by the purchaser; otherwise, purchasers’ shares will be noted and held on the book records of the Company.

  

In various states, the securities may not be sold unless these securities have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.  We have not yet applied for “blue sky” registration in any state, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to apply, or that our application will be approved and our securities will be registered, in any state in the US. We intend to sell the shares only in the states in which this offering has been qualified or an exemption from the registration requirements is available, and purchases of shares may be made only in those states.
