Item 5.02 Appointment of Certain Officers and Directors; Departure of Certain Officers and Directors
On October 23, 2012, the resignation of Johannes Petersen as a director and officer of Gold American Mining Corp. (the “Company”) became effective. Mr. Petersen’s resignation was not the result of any disagreements with the Company regarding its operations, policies, practices or otherwise but rather as a result of a change in control transaction involving the Company that was consummated on October 5, 2012, and the subsequent filing on October 23, 2012 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2012. The Board of Directors approved the resignation of Johannes Petersen as a director and officer of the Company on October 9, 2012, effective upon the filing on October 23, 2012 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2012.
On October 23, 2012, the Board of Directors elected Brett Bertolami, the majority shareholder, as a director of the Company and approved the appointment of Mr. Bertolami as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, President and Secretary.
As of the date of this report, our Board of Directors is comprised of Mr. Brett Bertolami.
Brett Bertolami, age 43 – Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, President and Secretary.
As Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, President and Secretary, Mr. Bertolami oversees all of the organizational activities of the Company, including planning, execution of business strategies, business development, SEC reporting and analyzing of the Company’s results of operations, and he manages all of its affairs.
Mr. Bertolami has over 14 years' experience as the CEO and General Manager focusing in the areas of managing, planning, personnel management, advertising, sales, finance and accounting for Jolar Corporation, a corporation that he owned in the automotive industry. Jolar Corporation sold Toyota, Ford and Lincoln products with over $35 million in revenues for fiscal 2011. Mr. Bertolami holds a B.A. in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and is a member of the National Automotive Dealers Association (“NADA”). He has a degree in Automotive Management from NADA.
In early 2012, Mr. Bertolami sold Jolar Corporation to a third party in a private transaction. Since the sale, he has engaged in business activities as a private investor, and expects to help the Company take advantage of business opportunities and maximize its growth potential.
Mr. Bertolami is not an officer or director of any other publicly quoted or traded corporation.
