Prior to joining our Company, Mr. Mitchell was CFO of two publicly traded companies, AWG International Water Corporation (OTC: AWGI) from 2012 to 2014, and Command Center, Inc. (OTC: CCNI) from 2010 to 2012. Mr. Mitchell also served as the CFO of Select Staffing from 2005 to 2010, during which time Select Staffing consummated over 40 acquisitions in the staffing industry as part of its M&A strategy, which contributed $1.3 billion in revenue. He also coordinated the business plan and credit agreements at Select Staffing to re-capitalize numerous times through traditional debt with various marquee investment banks including Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas and Bank of the West. Mr. Mitchell had prior experience at Rio Tinto PLC & Kennecott Exploration Company, where he served as a Director of Financial Services (North America) and Controller (North & South America) from 1998 to 2003. In his earlier career, he gained substantive audit experience while servicing the clients of Price Waterhouse (now PricewaterhouseCoopers) in Salt Lake City. Mr. Mitchell passed the Certified Public Accountant exam and holds a BS degree in Accounting from the University of Utah.

 

In connection with Mr. Mitchell’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer, the Company and Mr. Mitchell entered into a Letter of Employment, dated March 7, 2014, with a commencement date on March 17, 2014 and effective on March 25, 2014 upon Board approval (the “Letter of Employment”), which detailed the proposed terms of employment with the Company, including Mr. Mitchell’s roles with the Company, compensation, reimbursable expenses, benefits and termination provisions.

 

Under the Letter of Employment, Mr. Mitchell will receive an annual base salary $250,000.
