5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers


On July 1, 2012, Jueane Thiessen resigned as our Chief Executive Officer and President. Ms. Thiessen’s resignation was not a result of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. Ms. Thiessen continues to serve as our Principal Accounting Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and on our Board of Directors.


On July 1, 2012, Joe Putegnat was appointed to our Board of Directors. The appointment fills a vacant position existing on the board.


On July 1, 2012, Joe Putegnat was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and President. We entered into an Independent Contractor Agreement with Mr. Putegnat on July 1, 2012, which is described in Item 1.01 of this report and filed as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herewith.


Mr. Putegnat is an experienced telecommunications executive and entrepreneur with more than 20 years extensive career in the development of wholesale carrier sales; credited with several start-up ventures in addition to his tenures at major telecommunications companies. From 2010 through 2011, Mr. Putegnat was the founder and President of XcomIP, LLC. From 2007 to 2008 he was the founder and President of XchangeTel, Inc., an international long-distance wholesale carrier focused on the use of VoIP technologies. Mr. Putegnat founded and served as President and CEO of Jupiter Telecom, Inc., an international long-distance wholesale carrier also focused on the use of VoIP technologies in the early years of integration from 2003 to 2005. Prior to founding Jupiter Telecom, from 1996 to 2000, Mr. Putegnat was founder and President of LDExchange.com, Inc., a technology-oriented long-distance wholesale carrier, which he built to more than $80 million in annual revenues with 220 carriers connected to the network. In November 1998, he negotiated the sale of LDExchange.com to Micro General, Inc. (since acquired by Fidelity National Information Systems, NYSE: FNF) for approximately $38 million. From 1993 to 1995, Mr. Putegnat was a founder of San Diego-based telecom consulting firm I-Tel, where he provided strategic consulting to two major U.S. carriers, and helped to establish a route to China that grossed revenues of approximately $17 million per month. From 1986 to 1990, Mr. Putegnat served as a national account representative for U.S. Sprint, consistently ranking as one of the top sales representatives nationwide, and was a member of the President’s Club from 1986 to 1990. Mr. Putegnat attended University of Florida in 1977 and University of Central Florida in 1979.


This report may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We generally use words such as “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including: our ability to continue as a going concern, the various interrelationships between our officers and directors which may cause conflicts of interest, amendments to current regulations adversely affecting our business, results of operations and prospects, our ability to raise additional capital, that we do not carry insurance and we may be subject to significant lawsuits which could significantly increase our expenses, and such other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and our future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements may not meet these expectations. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
