SECTION 5 – Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
On October 9, 2014, the board of directors appointed Nataliya Hearn as our new Director, President, Secretary, Treasurer, CEO, and CFO.
Following this appointment, the board accepted the resignation of Ania Wlodarkiewicz as our officer and director. There was no known disagreement with Ms. Wlodarkiewicz regarding our operations, policies, or practices.
Nataliya Hearn is our newly appointed President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director. From September 2011 to the present, Dr. Hearn has been the President of Rare Earth Refining Inc. From January 2013 to the present, she has been a Director of Alcereco Inc. From October 2010 to 2012, she was the Chairman, CEO and President of American Rare Earths and Materials (symbol AREM). From October 2002 to 2010, she was the Chairman, CEO and President of Element 21 Sports (symbol EGLF).
Aside from the foregoing, Dr. Hearn has served as a director of the following public entities:
May 2008 to 2010 - Pro-Tect, Inc. (Symbol: PRTT.PK)
April 1999 to 2006 - Mag Industries (Symbol: MAA.V --TXS.V)
Dr. Hearn obtained her B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Toronto and her Ph.D. in Material Engineering from the University of Cambridge, UK. We believe her valuable experience and education in the fields of rare earths sourcing and processing, patented material development, proprietary manufacturing, engineering and final product marketing qualify her to serve as a director of our company.
Our newly-appointed officer and director has not had any material direct or indirect interest in any of our transactions or proposed transactions over the last two years. At this time, we do not have a written employment agreement or other formal compensation agreement with Dr. Hearn.
