Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Item 5.02(d) Election of Directors

 

On March 8, 2017, the Company's board of directors unanimously nominated and appointed Soll Sussman and Alejandro Amelio to serve on the board of directors. These two board nominations fill two board vacancy positions.

 

The Company has agreed to grant Mr. Sussman and Mr. Amelio Fifty Thousand (50,000) common shares each on an annual basis for their service. Additionally, the board has authorized the same 50,000 share restricted stock grant to David Cibrian, a current Company director.

 

The restricted stock grants were valued at $1.05 per share. The issuance of the shares of common stock grant was made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”). The offer and grant represented a private transaction not involving a public offering. As such, the shares may not be offered or sold in the United States unless they are registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.

 

Soll Sussman: Member Board of Directors

 

2012-Present

 

During the last five years, Mr. Sussman has been Managing Director of S Cubed Studio, an Austin based consulting firm which he founded after his retirement from the Texas General Land Office in 2012. S Cubed is a consulting firm that specializes in developing U.S and Mexico cross-border relationships and partnerships related to the oil and gas industry.

 

Additionally, between 2011 and 2015 Mr. Sussman was a consultant for the Border Environment Cooperation Commission. During this period he assisted with the coordination of the annual U.S.-Mexico Border Energy Forum.

 

Prior to founding S Cubed Studio, he was employed for 21 years with the Texas General Land Office, a state government agency, working with a variety of energy marketing, renewable energy, alternative fuels and border energy programs.

 

Prior to 1991, Mr. Sussman worked outside the United States as an international news correspondent for The Associated Press (AP). His last post was as A.P. bureau chief for Canada, based in Toronto.

2003-Present

 

Mr. Amelio founded Technology Marketing Concepts (TMC) in 2003.

Throughout his career, Mr. Amelio has built high level relations with PEMEX and other government regulating entities enabling him to participate at the forefront of Mexico's Energy Reform initiatives. His current work includes large scale projects related to the midstream energy sector, as well as working foreign companies interested in investing and participating in the opportunities created by Mexico's constitutional energy sector transformation.

 

Mr. Amelio's business background has been substantially strengthened as a result of his bicultural business development and marketing experience which includes no less than 10 years of living and working in both the U.S. and Mexico.

 

Mr. Amelio holds a B.A. Degree in Marketing from Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas. He began his career in the oil and gas industry as an Associate at PTUSA Corporation, a Texas-based specialist in marketing and sales of heavy equipment for the oil and gas industry heavily focused on the Mexico market.
