Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes information that may constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to the Company. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the achievement of milestones and what impact it could have on the Company’s operations, long-term success and financial condition. By their nature, forward-looking statements address matters that are subject to risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors could cause actual events and results, as well as the Company’s expectations, to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the risk that additional information may become known prior to the expected filing of information or financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other risk factors affecting the Company are discussed in detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On and effective as of February 20, 2018, Lyron Bentovim resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Bentovim was a member of our Audit Committee and Nominations Committee, and was Chairman of the Finance Committee.
Mr. Bentovim served as a member of our Board of Directors since August 2016, during which time we enjoyed the professional capabilities, sincerity and devotion he brought to the Company. As an emerging growth company, we are in a constant state of business and project-level development and frequently, since inception, must raise funds, not just for operations but to support our facility acquisitions and project construction activities. Presently, the Company is striving to achieve project-level milestones that we believe are key to the Company’s long-term success, but the Company requires additional funds to achieve these milestones. Mr. Bentovim resigned because he had a different perspective on the strategic direction of the Company; specifically, he suggested not to pursue fundraising activities that the Company has negotiated, and/or is presently negotiating. Mr. Bentovim believed such differences would prevent him from serving effectively on the Board of Directors. Mr. Bentovim departs a friend of the Company, his resignation is the result of different professional approaches.
