Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 28, 2012, we terminated the services of Scott Painter as our Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. We did not appoint a replacement, but are in the process of searching for a qualified Chief Executive Officer to fill the position. In the interim, Charles Bennington, our President, will cover the responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer, as necessary.
Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events
On December 21, 2012, we were mail served with a legal action entitled, Involuntary Petition, Chapter 7, pursuant to which petitioning creditor Bill Bowman filed an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding with the stated purpose of putting TransBiotec, Inc., a California corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, into a bankruptcy. We believe this filing is without merit and that the involuntary petition does not meet the mandatory filing requirements for filing such an action and we will oppose this petition to the fullest extent permitted under the law. Additionally, we are in settlement discussions with Bill Bowman, which, if successful, would include the withdrawal and dismissal of this action.
