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 March 25, 2020, Mr. James Fuller was appointed as a director of Petroteq Energy Corp. (the "Company") to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Ms. Anya Goldin from the Board of Directors. Ms. Goldin has resigned citing personal reasons and not due to any disagreement with the Company.
Mr. Fuller brings his experience of over 40 years in the securities industry. Beginning in the brokerage industry, Mr. Fuller quickly rose to the level of Managing Director with J. Barth & Company. His successes included creating the Cash Management Account (CMA) product for Merrill Lynch. He also served as a Senior Vice President of the New York Stock Exchange. Additionally, President Ronald Reagan appointed him to a post in the Securities Industry Protection Corporation (SIPC).
Mr. Fuller handled marketing for Charles Schwab for a period of four years before taking a role as Senior Vice President of Bridge Information Systems. Mr. Fuller has been active recently as a partner in Baytree Capital Associates LLC, a private equity firm based in San Francisco.
SECTION 7 - REGULATION FD
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On March 27, 2020, the Company issued a news release disclosing that it is reducing production staffing to a single shift daily because of market conditions.
The Company has chosen to cut hours at the plant to reduce costs in a tumultuous market. Management believes it is important to keep the plant operating to continue production, especially to demonstrate operations to the multiple parties currently completing due diligence on the Company as part of the technology licensing process.
The Company is scaling back to a skeleton crew and intends to store production in anticipation of selling product into a rebounding market in the future.
Because of the effects of the recent decline in oil pricing, the Company is no longer operating (in terms of the cost to produce and sell oil, excluding G&A) on a breakeven basis. However, production costs are also expected to decline as a result of an anticipated decline in solvent cost used in production of the Company's oil.
A copy of the news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
