On January 5, 2017, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to National Advisors Corporation, a Wyoming corporation, as consideration for a settlement agreement and mutual release of all claims.

The restricted shares so purchased cannot be sold unless pursuant to an effective registration statement by the Company, or by an exemption from registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act—the existence of any such exemption subject to legal review and approval by the Company.
