Item 8.01 Other Events.

  

ShiftPixy, Inc., announces that its application to list ShiftPixy Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PIXY” has been accepted by Nasdaq and ShiftPixy’s Common Stock has been approved by the Exchange for listing and registration upon official notice of issuance.

 

As part of the Nasdaq listing process, ShiftPixy appointed its first independent director, Mr. Kenneth W. Weaver.  Mr. Weaver’s substantial financial background qualifies him as an audit committee financial expert under applicable rules. As ShiftPixy’s first independent director, until additional independent directors are appointed, Mr. Weaver will accordingly serve as the chairman and only director of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominations Committee.  Since April 2012 to date, Mr. Weaver has been the sole proprietor of Ken Weaver Consulting, providing operations consulting for TVV Capital, a Nashville Private Equity firm.  Before his service with TVV, Mr. Weaver spent over 30 years with Bridgestone Corporation, having served in various responsible leadership roles, including as President, Bridgestone North American Tire Commercial Sales, Chief Financial Officer, Bridgestone Americas and Chairman, CEO and President, Firestone Diversified Products. Mr. Weaver earned both his bachelor’s degree in business and his masters of business administration degree from Pennsylvania State University. 

 

As a condition of certifying ShiftPixy’s Common Stock for a NASDAQ listing, co-founder and shareholder, J. Stephen Holmes, and ShiftPixy mutually agreed to the disclosure by ShiftPixy in this Form 8-K of his prior conviction for acts related to making false statements in relation to two quarterly IRS Form 941 Employer Federal Quarterly tax returns, one in 1996 and the second 1997, for a company for which he was at the time an officer. The former company and ShiftPixy are not affiliated or related in any way. Mr. Holmes is now an independent contractor with ShiftPixy, focusing upon building a sales network and providing consulting in relation to worker’s compensation programs as well as Affordable Care Act health insurance programs, and as such is not involved in any part of the accounting or tax paying and IRS return filing areas of ShiftPixy’s operations.
