On March 10, 2016, Thomas Cox resigned as a director of the Registrant. Mr. Cox's resignation from the Boards of Directors of the Registrant did not result from any disagreement with the Company.  On March 11, 2016, the Registrant’s Board of Directors appointed Robert Rondeau as a director, to serve in such capacity until his successor is appointed and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.


As compensation for serving as a member of the Board of Directors of the Registrant, Mr. Rondeau will receive $10,000 for each annual term served, payable quarterly.  In addition, upon his appointment as a director, the Registrant issued Mr. Rondeau a five-year warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock at an exercise price of $.09 per share.


Mr. Rondeau, 50 years old, is the chief executive officer of PRZ, LLC, a financing company focused on used car floor plan financing, retail financing and leasing, as position he has held since 2013.  Mr. Rondeau is also the chief executive officer of Bran Financial, a credit card processing company, as position he has held since 2010.  Prior to that, Mr. Rondeau was an executive director of Flagstar Bank, focusing on commercial, consumer and warehouse lending from 2004 through 2009.   Mr. Rondeau received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern University and an Executive M.B.A. from Michigan State University.
