ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

Effective July 22, 2013, Generation Zero Group, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) sole Director,  Cynthia S. White approved the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to Mr. Morrell in consideration for agreeing to serve as, and for services to be rendered as, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and director (which appointments are discussed in Item 5.02, below).

Effective July 11, 2013, Mr. Morrell loaned the Company $25,000 which was evidenced by a Convertible Promissory Note (described in greater detail below under Item 5.02).

The Company claims an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) for the issuances because the transactions did not involve a public offering, the investor was an accredited investor and/or had access to information about the Company and his investment as would be provided in a Registration Statement under the Act, the investor took the securities for investment and not resale and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities. None of the securities may be re-offered or resold absent either registration under the Act or the availability of an exemption from the registration requirement.

ITEM 5.02.  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

Effective July 22, 2013, Cynthia S. White resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Richard M. Morrell was appointed as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company to fill the vacancy left by her resignation.

Effective July 22, 2013, Cynthia S. White, as the then sole director of the Company approved an increase in the number of members of the Company’s Board of Directors from one (1) to two (2) and appointed Richard M. Morrell as a director of the Company to fill the vacancy created by such increase.  

Both the increase in the number of directors and the appointment of the new director were undertaken by the sole director (or both directors, where applicable) pursuant to the authority provided to the director(s) by the Company’s Bylaws.
