3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
As detailed below, under Item 5.03, on December 28, 2021 we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, resulting in an increase to our authorized shares of Common Stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.
On or about December 29, 2021, we sold 270,929 shares of restricted Common Stock to Demic Co., Ltd.., a Japanese Company, at a price of $2.00 per share of Common Stock. The total subscription amount paid by Demic Co., Ltd. was approximately $541,858.
The above transaction was approved by the Chief Executive Officer of Demic Co., Ltd., Tadayoshi Masutomi. Demic Co., Ltd. is not considered a related party to the Company.
The proceeds from the above sale of shares are to be used by the Company for working capital.
On or about December 29, 2021, we sold 882,257 shares of restricted Common Stock to Kiyoshi Kobayashi, a Japanese Citizen, at a price of $2.00 per share of Common Stock. The total subscription amount paid by Kiyoshi Kobayashi was approximately $1,764,513.
Kiyoshi Kobayashi is not considered a related party to the Company.
The proceeds from the above sale of shares are to be used by the Company for working capital.
The aforementioned sales of shares were conducted pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation S"). The sales of shares were made only to non-U.S. persons/entities (as defined under Rule 902 section (k)(2)(i) of Regulation S), pursuant to offshore transactions, and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing.
A copy of the specimen subscription agreement for the sales of shares per the above transaction(s) is attached herein as exhibit 10.2. This Form 8-K does not purport to include full details and or terms of the sale of shares to the aforementioned parties.
Following the sale of the above restricted Common Shares, we now have 501,153,186 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this report.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain officers.
On December 28, 2021, Ryo Shirai resigned as our Chief Executive Officer and was appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors It should be noted he was previously a Director, but now also serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Previously, there was no designated Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The resignation of Mr. Ryo Shirai, as Chief Executive Officer, was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices.
On December 28, 2021, Mr. Koichi Ishizuka was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
There is no arrangement or understanding among the newly appointed officer, Koichi Ishizuka, or any other person, pursuant to which they were appointed as an officer of the Company.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
Our majority shareholders, collectively, Ryo Shirai, Hideyuki Sasaki, and Koichi Ishizuka (directly and indirectly through White Knight Co., Ltd.), and our Board of Directors, have executed a resolution to ratify, affirm, and approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, increasing the authorized shares of our Common Stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. The Amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on December 28, 2021, effective immediately upon filing.
The Company believes that this action to increase the authorized shares of available common shares will allow the Company, amongst other things, and if it so chooses, to more easily garner investments from future capital raises through the sale of equity.
A copy of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation is attached herein as exhibit 3.13.
