ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
(a) Appointment of John Wood as President
On June 1, 2011, the Board of Directors of RYU appointed John Wood as RYU’s President. In addition to his role as President, Mr. Wood remains RYU’s Chief Financial Officer, as well as a member of our Board of Directors.
In addition to serving as our President and CFO, Mr. Wood, age 31, is currently the Director of Customer Development for two nightclubs in Las Vegas, ‘Tryst’ and ‘XS’. Being that Las Vegas is the epicenter of the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Universe in North America, Mr. Wood is positioned as one of RYU’s direct contacts with super-stars, fighters, managers, promoters and the UFC organization itself. John’s strategic position in Las Vegas allows RYU to make major marketing in-roads within the Mixed Martial Arts industry. John also holds a black belt in Judo, studies Muay Thai, Jujitsu and continues to train, which places him along side the athletes and super-stars of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Mr. Wood currently receives no compensation for his officer roles at RYU.
(b) Resignation of Kristian Andresen as President
In connection with Mr. Wood’s appointment as President of RYU (see above), Kristian Andresen resigned from such role. Mr. Andresen remains RYU’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, as well as a member of our Board of Directors.
