On January 19, 2012, Rocky V. Emery, the President and Chief Executive officer of Registrant, exercised his stock options to purchase 2,500,000 restricted common shares. Mr. Emery received the stock option grant on May 20, 2009, under the terms and pursuant to the provisions of Registrant’s 2009 Stock Grant and Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”). The exercise price of the stock options was set at the time of grant at the then current market rate, determined to be $.16 per share. The Stock Option Plan permitted Mr. Emery to use the cash value of his accrued and unpaid compensation due him under his employment agreements as the consideration payable as the exercise price for his stock options. Accordingly, Mr. Emery applied $400,000 of unpaid compensation due him under his employment agreements as the exercise price for his stock options, with a corresponding reduction of Registrant’s cash liability amounts due him under these agreements.
On January 19, 2012, Registrant issued the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
