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

 

On October 3, 2024, the Board of Directors of the registrant (the “Board”) held a special meeting for the purpose of formally invalidating a meeting of the Board purportedly held on September 26, 2024, due to the fact that proper notice of a meeting of the Board on September 26, 2024 was not given as set forth in Section 2.4 of the of the registrant’s bylaws. Accordingly, the actions described as having been taken by the Board on September 26, 2024 in the registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 27, 2024 have been voided ab initio.

 

Also on October 3, 2024, the Board accepted the resignation of Joseph Riccelli, Sr. as the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, effective immediately. The Board also appointed Joseph A. Riccelli to serve as the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, effective immediately. Joseph A. Riccelli has served as the registrant’s Vice President of Operations for over fifteen years and was with the registrant at its inception. He will serve in these capacities on an interim basis while the board interviews candidates for the positions. Joseph A. Riccelli’s compensation will be $2,000 per week. He will also receive a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the registrant’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.12 per share for a term of three years.

 

In addition, on October 3, 2024, the Board of Directors determined that Joseph Riccelli, Sr. will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. It is expected that the registrant will retain Joseph Riccelli, Sr. as a consultant to facilitate a smooth transition and for his vast knowledge of the production and products, and the relationships with the registrant’s most important vendors.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Joseph A. Riccelli and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as described above. Joseph A. Riccelli is the son of Joseph Riccelli, Sr. Joseph A. Riccelli does not have any family relationship with any of the Company’s other directors or executive officers. Joseph A.
