Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On May 14, 2015, Angelle Judice, Interim Chief Financial Officer of Petro River Oil Corp. (the “Company”), resigned due to certain conflicts of interest. Ms. Judice’s decision to resign from her position was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. Following Ms. Judice’s resignation, Mr. David Briones agreed to resume his role as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
Since October 1, 2010, Mr. Briones has acted as the managing member of Brio Financial Group, LLC, a financial reporting consulting firm. From January 2006 through September 2010, Mr. Briones had managed the public company and hedge fund practices at Bartolomei Pucciarelli, LLC (“BP”). Within that capacity, Mr. Briones performed audit services, outsourced CFO functions, and/or consulted clients through difficult SEC comment periods particularly through application of complex accounting principles for a vast public company client base. BP is a registered firm with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. BP is an independent member of the BDO Seidman Alliance. Mr. Briones served as the chief financial officer of NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. from February 2, 2009 to May 15, 2012. Mr. Briones also served as the chief financial officer of Clear-Lite Holdings, Inc. from August 3, 2009 to March 21, 2011. Prior to joining BP, Mr. Briones was an auditor with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in New York, New York. Mr. Briones specialized in the financial services group, and most notably worked on the MONY Group, Prudential Financial, and MetLife initial public offerings.
Mr. Briones was originally appointed to serve and, following Ms. Judice’s resignation, will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer pursuant to a consulting agreement by and between the Company and Brio Financial Group (“Brio”). Mr. Briones is the Managing Member of Brio Capital. Under the terms of this agreement, Brio receives a monthly consulting fee of $7,500, as well as a grant of 750,000 stock options of the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Equity Compensation Plan, which options vest in six installments. The first 125,000 options vested immediately upon execution of the consulting agreement, and the remaining 5 installments will vest monthly, on the 26th of each subsequent month.
Except as otherwise disclosed herein, there are no arrangements or understandings in connection with Mr. Briones’ appointment, and there are no related party transactions between the Company and Mr. Briones that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
