ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On August 1, 2018, the board of directors (the “Board”) of AB International Group Corporation (the “Company”) expanded the size of the Board from three directors to four directors, and appointed Alexander Holtermann as a Director to fill the vacant seat. The Board also appointed Mr. Holtermann as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Holtermann was previously a consultant to the Company.

 

Mr. Holtermann is 48, and has worked in financial markets across Europe, Asia and North America for over twenty years in both private and public capacities. Mr. Holtermann commenced his career as a PR-professional at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange prior to establishing his own private PR- & IR-consultancy in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, focusing primarily on the introduction of junior and senior North American and international public companies to the German-speaking media and investors. One of his many trademark creations is the "Bull & Bear.tv" show, which has hosted many CEOs presenting public companies primarily to the growing German-speaking investment community. He created and founded iCrowdU Inc., a CrowdFunding platform with its own cryptocurrency, the CrowdToken, which is intended to be fully blockchain-based. In his capacity as an international fundraising expert Mr. Holtermann has raised tens of millions of US dollars for client companies to help with their growth and expansion plans. Furthermore, Mr. Holtermann is an avid project manager in various industries. He has sat on the boards of numerous public companies and has been serving as Honorary Consul of Belize since 1999.

 

In connection with the foregoing the Company and Mr. Holtermann entered into an Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement is for a term of 6 years, provides for the Company to issue to Mr. Holtermann 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to pay Mr. Holtermann an annual discretionary cash bonus, and to provide Mr. Holtermann with access to the Company’s benefit plans and programs. The Employment Agreement contains termination provisions with or without cause, termination for good reason, and termination on death or disability. The Employment Agreement contains standard restrictive covenants, including those related to non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, usurping corporate opportunities, and non-disparagement.

 

Concurrent with the foregoing, the Company entered into Employment Agreements with Chiyuan Deng, its President, Ian Wright, its Chief Operating Officer, and Jianli Deng, its Secretary and Treasurer. The foregoing agreement are materially the same as Mr. Holtermann’s Employment Agreement, with the principal exception being that Mr. Wright and Jianli Deng will each receive 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation thereunder (as opposed to 20,000,000 shares).

 

On August 1, 2018, the Board accepted the resignation of Ying Zhang from her positions as a Vice President and Director.
