Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

On September 17, 2012, Mr. Gary Macleod, President and Director of AlphaPoint Technology, Inc. [OTCQB:APPO], a Florida corporation, accepted AF Ocean’s offer to appoint him to AF Ocean’s Board of Directors as Independent Director.   Mr. Macleod accepted the appointment with his tenure to begin on September 17, 2012.  He brings independent management oversight and an expert leadership background with over twenty years of management and consultancy experience to the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

The Company has not entered into, nor does it have any currently proposed plans to enter into, any transactions in which Mr. Macleod will have a direct or indirect material interest.  In addition, there are no family relationships between Mr. Macleod and any other Director or executive officer of the Company.

The Corporation expects at this time that Mr. Macleod will serve on each of its Nominating and Corporate Governance, Compliance and Ethics, Compensation, and Audit Committees.

Mr. Macleod entered into a compensation agreement with the Corporation in connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors, wherein Mr. Macleod will receive nominal cash and stock compensation, including reimbursement for meeting-related expenses.  

For purposes of determining Director independence, the Corporation applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). In light of the nominal compensation to be paid, the Corporation deems Mr. Macleod to be an independent Director.

Since November 2008, Mr. Gary Macleod, age 48, as the Chief Executive Officer and Director of AlphaPoint Technology, Inc., has played a key leadership role in translating technical information and new technologies into compelling value propositions to drive customer endorsement and sell-through models for evolving IT Asset Management software solutions.
