Item 5.02        Departure of Directors or Certain Officers, Election of Directors,

                        Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers


On December 23, 2013, the Board of Directors of Experience Art and Design, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously approved an increase in the number of the Company’s directors from three to seven. On the same date, by unanimous action of the Board, Gary Arford, Roy Rose and Michael Noonan were appointed to fill three of the vacancies created as a result of the increase in the size of the Board. The terms of all directors will expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders.

Business Experience

 

Gary Arford is the President and Founder of Comprehensive Wealth Management, a financial planning and investment management firm that specializes in allocating, protecting, and leveraging assets for executives, professionals, and small business owners.  Prior experience includes two decades as a senior officer for US Bancorp where he held portfolios valued at over $1 billion for real estate and international lending, among others.

 

Roy Rose has structured nearly 40 acquisitions, mergers and management buyouts since 1985.  He has also served in the roles of Chairman, CEO, Board Member and President of numerous companies as well as sat on the boards of several non-profit organizations. Mr. Rose’s most recent efforts have been focused on creating sustainable philanthropic endeavors. He played a major role in gaining approval by the Vatican to reproduce artwork held by the Church for the benefit of charitable organizations. His efforts ultimately aided charities in raising nearly $40M. For his persistence and contributions to charity the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, awarded Mr. Rose with a “Little Red,” an award only given to people who she deemed would make a difference in the philanthropic world.

 

Michael Noonan previously served as a director of the Company and has more than 25 years of corporate finance and corporate governance experience with companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and the American Stock Exchange.  He received an Executive Juris Doctorate from Concord School of Law in Los Angeles, California, an MBA from Athabasca University in Alberta, Canada; and a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Business Administration and Economics from Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada.
