Item 8.01 Other Events
On the matter of Convertible Debenture offer
On January 5, 2013, the Company received an offer from a company controlled by Christopher Maggiore, a significant shareholder, to invest up to $1,000,000 in convertible debentures of the Company. The Company is reviewing the terms. The transaction, if entered into, is expected to be closed in phases throughout January, 2013.
On the matter of MenaCare LLC
On January 2, 2013 the Board of Directors authorized the CEO to sign an engagement letter with MenaCare LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, based in Illinois. MenaCare offers biomedical consulting and business management expertise in the Middle East and North Africa regions, and will provide advisory and representative services on behalf of the Company to finance and manage clinical studies, regulatory compliance and product certification, and, to establish a presence for the Company in those regions.
On the matter of Zivo Biologic trademark and logo
On January 2, 2013 and January 3, 2013, the Board of Directors agreed to grant exclusive rights to the Company’s Zivo Biologic logo, trademark and web domain to a new business entity to be organized to fund a specific HEPI license, namely natural products in any form for the large production animal market in all its applications, specifically excepting synthetic molecule development for pharmaceutical use in any form for any application. The Company will be reimbursed its direct costs for logo development and trademark costs if and when the new business entity is formed and funded.
On the matter of Natural Product licensing
On January 2, 2013 and January 3, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the CEO to develop a licensing arrangement with a yet-to-be formed business entity (tentatively Zivo Biologic) that protects the interests of the Company and its shareholders, yet offers potential investors in such an entity (Zivo Biologic) an attractive opportunity to fund an operating company that will expeditiously commence high-volume production and provide the Company with a long-term royalty stream. Further, the CEO and current board member Mr. Brian Young will represent that new business entity to potential investors. A new management team will also be identified for the new entity. If and when funding is realized, the CEO will withdraw from any active participation in the new entity and negotiate the license as an arms-length-transaction, with board approval and shareholder notice.
On the matter of current facilities
On January 3, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the CEO to enter into contract with potential R&D partners to house and maintain the Company’s current culturing process. As disclosed in the Company’s 3rd Quarter Form 10-Q filed on November 14, 2012, the lease for the Company’s 15610 North 83rd Way, Scottsdale, Arizona facility was terminated on terms beneficial to the Company. Further, the Company sent notice to its landlord on June 2, 2012 that it would terminate its lease at 7740 Evans Road, Scottsdale, Arizona, on March 31, 2013. These actions provide Company management greater flexibility in managing both product development and operating expenses.
