Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide indemnification to our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, and further indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding (but excluding an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person was a director or officer of the Company against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually incurred, if such director or officer acted in good faith for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in criminal actions or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws further indemnify any director or officer made, or threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer, or was serving at the request of the Company, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action provided such person was acting in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company. In addition, to the extent that a director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit, or proceeding, or in defense of any such claim, issue, or matter therein, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification to him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense. Despite the foregoing, this specific indemnity from the Company is not available to such a director or officer if (1) the presumption that such director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the Company is rebutted, and (2) it is proven that such director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer, and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

 

Furthermore, the NRS provide for broad indemnification by corporations of their officers and directors, and offers a presumption that such officer or director has acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation, unless such presumption is successfully rebutted.

 

The NRS also provide that no director or officer is individually liable for damages as a result of an act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer except if (1) the presumption that such director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the Company is rebutted, and (2) it is proven that such director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer, and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. In addition, the NRS provide that any such indemnifiable person who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of an applicable action or proceeding shall be affirmatively entitled to the foregoing indemnity. The NRS additionally permit a corporation to advance expenses as they are incurred by a director or officer in defending an action or proceeding prior to final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by the applicable person to repay such advanced amount if the advancement is ultimately found to not be permitted by law or otherwise.

 

In addition, we maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which insures against liabilities that our directors and officers may incur in such capacities.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

On January 12, 2021, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock, valued at $49,900, to PCG Advisory, Inc. in consideration for its public relations-related consulting services. Such shares were issued to PCG Advisory, Inc. pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the Company believes: (i) the securities were offered and sold only to an accredited investor; and (ii) PCG Advisory, Inc. had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters which allowed it to evaluate the merits and risk of the receipt of these securities, and that it was knowledgeable about our operations and financial condition. Further, there was no general solicitation or general advertising related to this issuance of shares.

 

On March 25, 2021, the Company granted to its directors under the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (i) options to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $11.10 per share; (ii) 47,500 shares of restricted stock; and (iii) 15,000 restricted stock units. These grants were all made pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement, dated April 11, 2021, between the Company’s indirect subsidiary, EcoChain Block, LLC (“EcoChain Block”) and the seller of certain machinery, on April 12, 2021, the Company issued 20,405 shares of its common stock, valued at $207,106, as a portion of the payment due and payable by the Company for certain machinery purchased by EcoChain Block for use in its cryptocurrency mining business. Such shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the Company believes: (i) the securities were offered and issued only to an accredited investor; and (ii) the party receiving such securities had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters which allowed it to evaluate the merits and risk of the receipt of these securities, and that it was knowledgeable about our operations and financial condition. Further, there was no general solicitation or general advertising related to this issuance of shares.

 

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

 

(a) See the Exhibit Index on the page immediately preceding the signature page hereto for a list of exhibits filed as part of this Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

 

(b) No financial statement schedules are provided because the information called for is not required or is shown either in the financial statements or the notes thereto.

 

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

II-2

 

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(B) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

II-3

 

 

(5) That for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to any charter provision, by law or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
