Item 8.01 Other Events
The Company announced today that it plans to have a virtual annual meeting of shareholders on May 15, 2023 with shareholders of record on the close of business on April 12, 2023 entitled to vote at the meeting. Of the several proposals to be voted upon at the annual meeting, the Company plans to submit a slate of five directors for election to the Board of Directors. The Company has already identified a candidate to replace independent director Michael A. Wright, who’s resignation was accepted by the Board effective March 16, 2023. The Board appreciates the contributions made by Mr. Wright and his leadership through the Company’s capital raising activities in late 2021 through early 2023 and listing on Nasdaq. Mr. Wright cited personal reasons for his departure. The Company believes that including new directors to the board composition will be conducive to lead the Company through its next phase of development and growth.
On March 21, 2023, the Board elected Nate Knight as an independent director to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Wright’s resignation and to serve as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Nominating Committee and Executive Compensation Committee. Nate Knight, age 72, is an accomplished business leader with over 30 years of experience as a public accountant, served as an independent director and Chief Financial Officer of United Heath Products, a publicly traded company, from 2013 to 2020. During his tenure, he brought extensive expertise and knowledge to the company's financial operations. Additionally, Mr. Knight owned and operated his own accounting business, further honing his financial acumen. Prior to joining United Heath Products, he worked as an internal auditor at Prime Alliance Bank from 2004 to 2010. Mr. Knight has been granted under the Company’s stock option plan five year vested non-statutory options to purchase 25,000 common shares at an exercise price of $.22 per share exercisable at any time after the date of grant. He will also receive the same cash consideration per month that is paid to other Board members.
