Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On October 10, 2013, Ross M. Doyle resigned as a director of Aurora, which the remaining four directors accepted and which resulted in one vacancy on the board of directors. Mr. Doyle’s resignation was not due to, and was not caused by, in whole or in part, any disagreement with Aurora, whether related to Aurora’s operations, policies, practices, or otherwise. Mr. Doyle will continue to act as the Chief Financial Officer of Aurora.

 

Also, on October 10, 2013, Gorden Glenn consented to and was appointed as an additional director of Aurora by the board of directors.

 

Gorden Glenn (49 years old) has been a director of Aurora since September 25, 2013.  For the past 2 years Mr. Glenn has been a corporate director and is currently the Interim President and CEO of Auriga Gold Corporation.

 

Mr. Glenn intends to devote approximately 20% of his business time to the affairs of Aurora.

 

Mr. Glenn is a director of the following reporting reporting issuers; Entrée Gold Corporation (ETG-TSXV), Auriga Gold Corp (AIA-TSXV), Source Exploration Limited (SOP-TSXV) and Geodex Exploration (GXM-TSXV).

 

There is no family relationship among the directors or officers of Aurora

 

During the last two years, there has been no transaction or proposed transaction that Aurora was or is a party to in which Mr. Glenn had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

There is no employment agreement between Mr. Gorden Glenn and Aurora at this time.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

Effective October 22, 2013, Aurora effected a consolidation of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a one-for -five basis (the “Reverse Split”), without decreasing its authorized capital, but increasing the par value from $0.001 per share to $0.005 per share. Accordingly, Aurora’s issued and outstanding shares were decreased from 249,144,706 shares of common stock to approximately 49,828,942 shares of common stock (not accounting for fractional share interests being rounded up to the next whole number).

 

The Reverse Split was approved on July 24, 2013 by shareholders of Aurora owning approximately 57.4% of the outstanding voting shares of common stock.

 

A copy of Aurora’s file-stamped Certificate of Amendment is attached to this report as an exhibit. See Exhibit 3.1.4 – Certificate of Amendment for more details.
