Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On January 5, 2015, the Board of Directors of UBL Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Ivan Berkowitz as a director, to serve as a director of the Company until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his successor is duly elected and qualified.
Mr. Berkowitz is a corporate executive and advisor with 40 years of professional experience in the financial and real estate industries. He has acted as a corporate advisor on matters that pertain to corporate structure and governance, transfer pricing, EEC antitrust law, mergers and international syndication. In 2003, he co-founded and has since served as the Chairman of Great Court Capital, a global structured finance and traditional merchant banking firm based in New York City, active in identifying, investing and managing the investment process for a syndicate of high net worth individuals, hedge funds and institutions.
Until its sale in 2003, Mr. Berkowitz served as senior managing partner of Avatar Associates, a New York-based institutional asset management firm managing $1.8 billion in assets. He has been a member of the boards of directors of both public and private companies, domestically and internationally. In addition to these activities, he is a Board member of the Council for Economic Education, is a past board member of Yeshiva College and Cambridge in America, and is also a Life Member of the Cambridge Union. Mr. Berkowitz holds a Ph.D. in International Law from Cambridge University, an MBA in Finance (honors) from Baruch College and a B.A. cum laude in Economics from Brooklyn College. He has guest lectured at professional and academic forums that have included Young Presidents’ Organization, Cambridge University, Whittier College, School of Law, and New York University’s Center for Law and Business. Over the years, he has contributed to media, business, law and academic journals, including the Cambridge Law Journal and Juris Doctor. Since 2013, Mr. Berkowitz has served as a director and chairman of the audit committee of Trunity Holdings, Inc. Our Board believes that Mr. Berkowitz’s extensive experience in executive level financial and management roles enables him to provide critical insight and expertise in financial, operating and strategic matters which impact us, thus enabling him to effectively serve as a director.
On January 8, 2015, the Board granted a non-qualified stock option to Mr. Berkowitz under the Company’s 2010 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to purchase 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a term of three years and an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
