ITEM 8.01          OTHER EVENTS.

Adoption of 2013 Stock Incentive Plan

On June 20, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"). The purpose of the 2013 Plan is to enhance the long-term stockholder value of the Company by offering opportunities to directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants of the Company (“Participants”) to acquire and maintain stock ownership in the Company in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in the Company's growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in the service of the Company.

The 2013 Plan allows the Company to grant options to its officers, directors and employees. In addition, the Company may grant options to individuals who act as consultants to the Company, so long as those consultants do not provide services connected to the offer or sale of the Company’s securities in capital raising transactions and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.

A total of 27,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, less any other outstanding options issued under previous stock option plans, are available for issuance under the Plan. However, the Board of Directors may increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be optioned and sold under the Plan provided that the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be optioned and sold under the Plan shall at no time be greater than 15% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding, less any other outstanding options issued under previous stock option plans.

The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options granted under the Plan are those intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in order to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan must be approved by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months of its adoption. The Plan has not been approved by the Company’s stockholders. Non-qualified stock options granted under the Plan are option grants that do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The above description of the 2013 Plan does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2013 Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
